Irish Mammy, wife, rugby, lefty, LGBT+ she/her Politics without empathy is just greedy capitalism. A bee isn't going to waste time trying to convince a fly that honey is sweeter than shite...

Teenage boys Stories of them: Assaulting women Assaulting non nationals Raping women Stealing vehicles Murdering people It starts that early. And yet if we point out that male culture is the problem with society, we're somehow hating me. At what point to we face the problem head on?

And Robin Ince left their podcast cos he was pushed out by the BBC for his support of trans people and voicing support for Palestinians. I've seen zero comment from Cox on this and Ince has spoken of colleagues and friends turning a blind eye....

If he's right though, should he not call it out? Surely we need to acknowledge that some kids are making horrendous decisions and make sure it's known why they died, in the hopes other kids will think twice.

I mean, duh. Every change so societal structure, health services or employment always serves men better and women worse. See also. Poor people always worse off.

Ok, guilty pleasure....MAFS The episode where the guy who talks about "I'm a warrior" and how we need more warriors, Knights, heroes, real men. Then he drops her when dancing. Then goes FULL Streisand wanting it left out in post production to save her blushes. Howled laughing. Always the alphas.

Could ask him why he favours big business over the welfare of vulnerable citizens? Business is booming, but the poor are poorer, the disabled are nowhere near fully supported, the elderly are poorer but the rich are richer. Why is GDP more important than quality of life for his voters?

I was thinking I'd do just that. The job is for a fixed project, and they don't know how long that will be. I was thinking I'd ask the earliest projected finish data. Would definitely help me make a decision.

I'm less excited by the role post interview. It's short term, I'm currently permanent. But there is potential to open lots of career doors longer term, given the area I'll be getting experience in. So IF I get it, which I have no clue about, I've a big decision to make. All advice appreciated!

Had a big interview recently. I'm not desperate to move, but was really drawn by the role. The interview was....flat. very muted responses from the interviewers from the start, so no clue how well I did. I thought I gave a good account of myself, but no idea how it was received. The thing is...

Yep. Pensioners can't downsize because they can't find a suitable home in their locale. People with new disabilities or age related movement issues can't find suitable accommodation. Domestic violence survivors can't find alternative accomodation. Always impacts the most vulnerable more.

It would totally make sense in an evolutionary context. Constantly thinking of food, means constantly seeking it by hunting or gathering. But when food is abundant, it means obesity. Trust me, I know.

I think I psyched myself up for it well. Knew it couldn't hurt me. That it would be temporary, but loud. Focused on rhythm of it. Due another soon, but this is for my back.

Well, someone who actively votes to harm vulnerable people, while being polite about it, is shitty respectability politics and not actual decency. I'd prefer decent principles with a few curse words, than his schtick

Healy-Rae speaks so well here. Pity it's fraught with hypocrisy, as many things he has said and done has actively offended and harmed countless people. Call for kindness, absolutely, but start offering it to people you haven't even taken the time to speak to yet.

This is something that has gone under the radar a little. Orban didn't lose to a progressive, he lost to someone just a touch less authoritarian than him.

This man has posted on SM in the past saying he wouldn't mind seeing Greta Thunberg raped. That it's the only "action" she'll get. He's claimed Muslims are trying to take over the world. In case you're wondering who is running the fuel protests.

€505m came out the gov’t surplus. Tánaiste confirmed it’ll affect Budget ‘27. Every cent spent on haulier diesel this weekend is a cent that won’t be spent on disability allowance, homelessness, or carers in Oct. That is not a metaphor. That is the arithmetic Simon Harris just signed off on. (3/4)

The €505m package has been rejected by a leading organiser as “an insult.” Motorways are still blocked this morning. Whatever the blockades were about, they were never really about fuel. “The Blockade Is the Message” already said so. This morning just confirmed it. (1/4) #FuelFascists

Why would anyone be shocked that they're still blockading. Government just capitulated to two of the heaviest subsidised industries to the tune of .5 billion. They paid the hostages ransom and didn't even get the hostage.

People have missed chemo/radiotherapy/dialysis appointments. Carers can't get to who they need. Ambulances and fire services have been hindered. And counter-intuitively they've worsened the fuel crisis. But if you don't support all that, you've turned your back on people? Makes no sense.

Yikes. I've seen so many absolutist takes personally. Either you stand with these protesters or you're an enemy of the people/turning your back on your country etc. Like, I get the cause, it matters, more can be done and it's crippling some people, but also, the protest are harmful too.

They get so much traction with the "fighting for the working class" stuff, when in reality the right prey on the working class hoping for blind support as they drain them of their wealth. I saw a woman I know very well doing to whole "fighting for all of us" chat about the fuel protests.
