The absolute shitshow around school allocation. Get kids into the schools in their area avoid traffic of all sorts. No Brainer. #Speirghorm

This absolutely shook me to my core as a Dad. What is wrong with people? Why can you just leave trans people alone? That’s all they want.

If you decide to not have kids. Genuinely we have too many people on the planet. Good for you, there isn’t enough kudos for you guys. But Parents invest their whole self in their children - we sleep at the end of the bed when kids have a sniffle. Trans kids Mam & Dads are on steroids. #speirgorm

Perfect time of the year to share this again, visibility in the water is so important & could truly help save your life if you get into difficulty.

Validation for my persistent, daily handwriting habit!! Love your brain and get back to that lovely, flowie ‘joined-up’, cursive writing 🤩🧠❤️ Maybe even do a calligraphy course to be really fancy! #spéirghorm #Cursive #Writing

I still don’t understand why a small country like Ireland feels it needs such a dense concentration of airports. #speirgorm www.irishexaminer.com/business/com...

@sinn-fein.bsky.social ‘s transfer base in Dublin Central came from Steenson and Hutch, not from the progressive parties. Lohan finished seventh in Galway West. The party that aspires to lead the opposition was the form neither electorate reached for. The form does not yet exist. 🗳️📊📈📉 #Spéirghorm

The Vote Left Transfer Left pattern held in both constituencies this weekend. In Dublin Central, the progressive transfers went to Ennis. In Galway West, Labour’s transfers blocked the anti-immigration candidate even at the cost of seating Fine Gael. Two electorates, one logic. 🗳️📊📈📉 #Spéirghorm

This happens EVERYWHERE! We’re only disabled from 9am to 6pm, did you know that? 🙄 “He outlined that this is a particular issue after 6pm, when the council’s parking warden is no longer on duty” #Disabled #DisabilityParking #Limerick #SpeirGorm #SpéirGhorm www.limerickleader.ie/news/local-n...

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invested €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it WASTES public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

Were constantly told by the forestry industry that commercial plantations are good for carbon when undisturbed native forests are so much better

“Palestinians in Gaza have starved to death while surrounded on all sides by food and supplies that were prevented by Israel from getting in” ~Sarah Clancy Irish Examiner ☕️🥐

🧵It’s so heartening to see 🇺🇸 school districts going after Big Tech to make them pay for children’s mental health support and WINNING 🥇 I’m doing a literature review for uni on sm and kids’s mh and it’s definitely not as simple as ‘social media causes anxiety’ www.independent.co.uk/tech/meta-ti...

The real problem with twitter isn't seen by cis guy 🤯 The abuse towards women cis & trans The abuse towards any minority Twitter is a locker room for cis men. Stay there if you don't know why it's a problem, it seems like you're not going to learn what's good about bluesky. Why safety is needed.

I left twitter because I don't want to support a neo nazi transphobe who doomed thousands to starvation and disease by gleefully dismantling USAID. But hey, you enjoy your conversations over there, that's what really matters, right?

Nothing at all fishy going on here over the weekend, I assume

Meaningful agricultural diversification is what we need, not more greenwashing. 'What the atmosphere recognises is emissions, and what matters with carbon footprints is not the efficiency, but how many footprints there are.' Prof John Sweeney. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Which Fianna Fáil Minster for Transport done in better? Left, in 2009, Noel Dempsey; or right, in 2026, Darragh O'Brien #NavanRail

The Arlington National Cemetery Memorial apparently has deleted references and information on everyone interred there who wasn’t a white straight man from their database - attempting to sweep their existence under the rug. My thoughts on this obscenity cannot legally be shared on this platform.

On Twitter I couldn't block fast enough to block strangers yelling abuse at me. On Bluesky I scroll through thoughts from a bunch of people who seem like they'd be cool to have a beer with.

The far-right are inciting and carrying out acts of racism, intimidation and violence. On May 1 there was a white mob attack on a POC male in Coleraine, police arrested only the victim. The Council chief met with white supremacist neo-Nazi's behind a surge in violence and race hate. [2/2]

What is going on right now in Northern Ireland / the North is border violence pure and simple, assisted at every turn by state institutions. From Coleraine to Castlewellan - democracy, oversight and accountability is so hollowed out, the far-right are actively being privileged. [1/2]

The North has become 'one big border', a six county buffer zone between Britain and the EU. What is going on here in terms of racist policing and extraordinary levels of immigration and border enforcement is repression and state violence which is elevating violent loyalist neo-nazis.

I know the English like to ignore what is happening in Northern Ireland but you'd be advised to pay attention because what they do here they do there eventually.

The NHS let conversion therapists have free reign looking at trans youths medical files it wasn't a huge steo further to hand everything over to Palantir

Shocking details in this report by UNSR #Torture Alice Edwards. Horrific abuse, sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners by #Israel. & importantly, incl details of denial of right to adequate std of living- sanitation, food, water. Disgraceful conditions. #humanRights www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

current modal shift policy in action - build lots of housing near city but do not enforce restrictions against footpath parking or other uncontrolled parking and definitely do not deliver the bus route planned to serve the development (to protect pedestrians, do paint a stick man on the road 👍)

Sign and demand the removal of this misogynist judge who thinks a planned gang rape of girls is a misdemeanour requiring no custodial sentence www.change.org/p/investigat...

It's also environmentally a bad idea- more driers, more damp in houses, more mould, lowers life span on clothing. Out door drying is better for clothes and housing and tbf environment. This shit drives me crazy.

“It is an argument feminists have made for a long time,” she says. A washing line ban, with no dedicated space indoors, is “architecture attempting to make domestic labour invisible”.

"Whether we realise it or not, we depend totally on natural ecosystems for our very survival". "By removing them and repressing their return, we're threatening our own future survival." I was interviewed for this BBC piece on Irish rainforests. www.bbc.com/news/article...

A nurse’s entire take-home pay now barely covers the average Dublin rent. People are being evicted while sick, grieving and struggling. This housing crisis is causing real human misery.

We want to say thank you to the Minister of State for Fisheries & Marine Timmy Dooley for coming out to meet the Rally for Ireland's Seas on Thursday, 21st of May. Fair Seas will continue to engage with the Minister & his department to see that this happens and that it happens promptly.  #FairSeas

this is the first thing Peadar had to say after two by-elections in which his party ate shit so bad that the combined FPV share of both their candidates was barely more than the FF candidate in Dublin Central who received the lowest FPV share in FF's entire 100 year history

Simon McGarr ( @tupped.bsky.social ) posted earlier that SF’s Boylan’s big transfer moments in Dublin Central came from Steenson and Hutch, not from PBP, Labour, or the Greens. This is the structural fact the seventh essay’s argument predicted. (1/3) #Spéirghorm #IrishPolitics #SinnFéin

The idea of Vote Left, Transfer Left was pretty strongly adhered to in Dublin Central as the count went on. What happened was that the voters didn’t consider SF to be left. The SF candidates big transfer moments came from Steenson and Hutch.

The odds of SF learning from this seems slim. #spéirghorm #irishpolitics www.advertiser.ie/galway/artic...

So in by-elections to replace one FG TD and one left-wing TD, we’ve elected one left-wing TD and one FG TD. Could have been worse. #speirghorm

I can't understand the people who vote for them knowing full well they don't give them a moment's thought.

But hearing that nonsense will still be better than having Thomas in the Dáil representing us in Galway West. Independent Ireland must be stopped.

I can see the propaganda from II for the next year based on some similar comments in the Galway reddit, all on how Thomas got more votes than Ogbu. They'll going to frame Thomas doing well in first count but not winning (as happens often in PRSTV) to the yanks as a stolen election #Spéirgorm

Our new pied-à-terre tax will have the ultra-wealthy elite — those who own $5 million apartments in New York City but don’t actually live here — pay their fair share.

The very severe restrictions on the prescribing of medicinal cannabis really do need to be relaxed. It’s only allowed for 3 particular conditions (MS, cancer, treatment-resistant epilepsy). Surely people with other painful conditions should also be given the option? US ahead of us on this.

That walking human stain Donald Trump is about to attack another country and visit death and destruction. Time to say no war on Cuba!
