Hi everyone! I'm currently looking for participants for interviews for my PhD research. I'm working on the history of the LGBT+ community in rural Ireland, the way being in rural Ireland impacted the community and how the community impacted rural Ireland, 1970-2000.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

For the sake of my own peace of mind: Stop considering John Boyne for historical awards. He's not a historian. He's a (relatively conservative) fiction writer with an interest in history who occasionally writes decent historical fiction. Stop considering him as more than an author.

A Democrat lawmaker, her husband and her dog were shot to death like a month ago by a right wing extremist and none of these people clutching pearls gave a fuck. I'm not living in fear of racist white men who would shit themselves if they were alone in a room full of Black people.

Also, while I'm at it, the IFP and Aontú have the same delulu view of Irishness and what it means to be Irish as the "plastic Paddies" they revile - white, cishet, able bodied, neurotypical, red-haired, lilting voiced caricatures.

"US ambassador Huckabee questioned why some nations were “once again” placing “all the pressure on Israel” instead of on Hamas." Maybe because one is a colonial entity illegally blocking food, aid and water, and ethnically cleansing the native population, and the other is a rebel army.

Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings. Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property, BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1
