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.

Enoch Burke is a predator who has continually trespassed on school property as an ex-employee. Idk about ye, but I never saw a single old teacher come back for a visit during school hours BECAUSE IT IS A CHILDREN'S ENVIRONMENT.

Can you please check bathrooms before your trains pull out of the first station to make sure that they're operational? Your trains are not disability accessible while moving, even less so when you have unusable bathrooms on an overbooked train

A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

Is Britain aware that Ireland is no longer part of Britain? Like, are the people actually aware that British veterans' day is not Irish veterans' day, and even if it was, it's someone's choice whether or not to wear the poppy - a British symbol of remembrance

Catholic correspondent for the Irish Times, Breda O'Brien has a headline today about Catherine O'Connolly's 'vibes-based politics' which is bad apparently if you're a socialist, but not if your vibes tell you a piece of bread is literally God's flesh.

Was Michael D not presidential to the 60% who stayed home in 2018? Maybe run better fucking candidates rather than accusing her supporters of "vibes politics" when she was against non-Irish speaking, right of centre and was pro-coursing and said that trans woman were not women but trans women?

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Yearly reminder that the student in question was not in Burke's class. Burke sought this STUDENT out to harass them. The student was in the Leaving Cycle when this happened - they are at LEAST two years out of the school. It is PREDATORY BEHAVIOUR to camp outside a school for YEARS. 🖕 Enoch Burke

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.

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.

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.
