We stand in solidarity with Helen Ogbu in the face of online abuse Women candidates - especially minoritiy women - face significant difficulties in running for election We call on govt to take action against online hate, before the next election cycle. Otherwise, our democracy will pay the price

Car says 31 degrees …… #speirgorm

There was a lovely woman coming to our support group who hadn't truly slept for two years trying to keep her trans daughter alive. ... She goes to a different kind of group now. Broke my heart.

We have a party that I still see cis people on the left shilling for what has implemented this as policy in the north for NO good reason other than to hurt us. But I assure you, come election time I'll be told I'm being divisive for calling this out. The call for us is coming from inside the house.

I’m working my way through James Bond music - total bangers from Adel & Billie Eilis - Louis is killing me with his bittersweet positivity though.

Everyone mind your own FCKING business!

Too many people care too much about how other people live their lives.

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

She’s playing the IOW Festival in June which I am lucky enough to have tickets to. Can’t wait.

This is great, the song is a complete banger & I had always thought it was an autobiographical poem about domestic abuse & not CSM. I didn’t dig into it, because I love the song & didn’t want to feel more sad - turns out, I’m an idiot.

Pat Kenny is a pain in the hole, but Mikey is just perfectly brilliant in this. The last 30s are sublime, but he calls out rape and torture visited upon people by Israel, you should listen to it all. #speirgorm podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/t...

if a person had poor English and were selling English language learning courses, would you accept that? so why on earth do we keep accepting broken Irish language courses? why do we keep saying "is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste" when all we're doing is creating a cycle of poor Irish?

I love Ireland - all 32 counties of it, but I am very aware of two podcasts today I listened to - one is @williamcrawley.bsky.social having a bonkers conversation about Sunday opening hours (though the pbp guy really made me think) & a BelTel article on not talking about the Jeffrey Donaldson trial

New Elton John song just dropped

Got blocked today on Bluesky - it was very satisfying, he was a gobshite & I am everything.

This is fascinating to me, but also explains where British politics (English nationalism) sits. Even @mrjamesob thinking he has a gotcha question, but missing the bigger picture. The real question is: Why are people voting for Nazis? Who cares what his wife thinks?

Is she lying for him or did he lie to her? Or both?

We aren’t talking enough about what a shit result it was for Aontú #speirghorm

We have 25C today, same humidity, Island next door, it’s been glorious, we’re over the moon. Stop treating trans people so badly and give us back our 6 counties, the humidity won’t feel so bad.

The PR-STV system enforces centre politics. If FF's attempt to change to a British voting system had been successful, Irish politics would be entirely different today. And worse.

Marriage equality is actually the one thing SF were ahead on. They proposed an amendment to the Civil Registration Bill 2003 to allow it. Labour abstained

They're absolute monsters. The entire political and media elite in the UK needs to be dropped into a volcano

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.

I might not be evolved enough to understand it, but I was evolved enough to completely fuck it up. futurism.com/artificial-i...

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

Do you want to get sued, cos that's how you get sued. fortune.com/2026/05/19/b...

If you want to argue why capitalism is so bad, just point to the US. It’s meaningless wars in past 80 or so years, where it has had to walk away a loser, with only arms manufacturers cleaning up at the expense of millions of innocents dead or maimed. Don’t get me started on Israeli genocide.

20 years ago, a church in London wanted to take legal action against the Gay Police Association, who had published an ad warning of an increase in homophobic assaults. The leader of the church was George Hargreaves, who wrote the hit "So Macho" for Sinnita. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

Shitty to see Gogglebox showing the eurovision not to mention Mary and her anti irish tirade. Used to like her until that. We're not that Ireland Mary, we haven't been in a long long time.

Because abortion is healthcare

Turns out it was one of those fake counter culture American movies, that so desperately wants to display a moral message while staying firmly within the rule of lionising their military & looks ridiculous to ROW. How many US made bullets killed innocent small people in Sandy Hook?

Watching “Ballistic” - only stuck it on for Lena Heady, not disappointed, she could act the phone book.

Wouldn’t it be great if Iran won the World Cup too?

Fair play to lads from Iran for their victory over the great Satan, to be fair they wanted it more

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

The RTÉ story about this said the launch was “mostly successful” and imo space flight is one of those things where you really want to be in that 100% successful range

We can’t “force” SF back to the left, because we can’t trust them to stay there - it’s time for an alternative & for any stragglers to just vote for FF anyway. #speirgorm

Now there ya go, I was today years old when I found out Iceland (~102,000 km2) is larger than Ireland (~84,000 km2) #speirgorm

One of the biggest problem for farming the recent blockade of the country by scumbags did, was to throw a spotlight on a sector that has basically been sacrosanct & untouchable for past 50 years. #speirgorm

With 90% of the food we produce leaving the country, and 90% of the food we actually eat being imported into the country, do we need to shift farming subsidies? #RTECountrywide #Speirgorm Listen: 👉 www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

www.donegallive.ie/news/crime/d... This person is an absolute monster. And no, there were no protests about this attack.

We have to stop this happening Helen. Labour are lying through their teeth . Pink washing. The fibs are outrageous. Are Stonewall attending? Hope not. If you want to write to the Council Of Europe to object, the email is below. mimmymum.bsky.social

the way hind got used as bait for double-tapping the medics should've been enough

Kinda mad that some people are only now realising the psychopathic, genocidal culture that is dominating Israel at the moment, because of Ben Givr’s sneering, supremacist video & not the blowing up of babies and innocent families. He is a modern day parallel to Geobbels.

Yep AI, here to take over the world ….. 🙄

And by an interesting coincidence (?), we now have this report today - private security guards again.

The fact that they have not even been questioned proves beyond any doubt that claims of the Irish state being institutionally racist are correct. What more needs to happen? 10 people dead? 100? WHITE people?
