Wow, something based, and it actually came from a tiktok comment section for once #Ireland

A screenshot of a comment under a video on tiktok. It reads:

"The Irish people have been fooled into thinking European whites just accepted us as their own in the 20th century when in fact we traded one form of oppression for another, not even different masters, they still own our land houses and places of work, our country is nothing but a tax haven for the American empire. The Irish people have never been anything more than a labor force for Anglo-American imperialists. Just look at Dublin, white Irish ppl want to claim Europeanness but our capital city doesn't even have a robust transport system, we're consistently living 2-3 decades behind the rest of the continent but sure black ppl and immigrants are the problem"

Evergreen slogan 🏳️‍⚧️🇮🇪

A mural on the side of a building somewhere in the north of Ireland, depicting a hand with a British-flag sleeve picking a bloody chunk out of an Irish-flag patterned Ireland. A hand with an Irish-flag sleeve is grabbing the British hand's wrist. The lettering above reads "ENGLAND GET OUT OF IRELAND!"

Strange how the article blurred this racist scumbag's face 🤔 Would be an awful shame if someone found the video and posted screenshots so that people could identify him...

Yeah, The Journal are fairly solid. This one is from RTÉ, which is our national broadcaster. Not their biggest fan 100% of the time, but nothing too crazy here from what I can see.

An article from RTÉ News:

A close-up of my eye, showing a reflection of a a graph. The text reads:

"Every time I watched the news and saw that death count going up, I thought:

'Fuck it, I could die tomorrow. Why lie to myself anymore? Why lie to others?"

$Me splayed out. My clothes and style is fractured up into different styles and gender conventions. The text reads: "The best way that I could describe my gender identity is that, when it comes to gender, I feel like everything and nothing at the same time. There are days where I feel more feminine, and days where I feel more masculine. Most of the time I feel like nothing."$

A split panel -

Left: me, naked and curvacious, lying down with my back to the camera; Right: me in my clothes, looking very upset, looking at my body. My curves are bulging out and my boobs are sagging down.

The text reads:

"I do consider myself transgender, because there are times where I definitely don't feel like a woman.

There are days where I feel soft and feminine.

And there are others where I can't stand the sight and feel of my chest and curves."

Me, wearing a binder and looking annoyed. My chest isn't flat, and my boobs are bulging out of the top. The text reads:

"I would love to have a smaller chest so that I could still have breasts, but could also wear a binder that actually works. If diet and exercise don't help reduce it in size, I will get chest reduction surgery someday."

Happy pride to my fellow transes out there, especially my fellow enbies and fellow Irish transes. Your identity is valid, and you belong ❤️ 1/8 #ireland #speirgorm #nonbinary

A megaphone, with a giant speech bubble coming out of it that says "I'M NON BINARY!!!"

Me, facing the camera and gesturing. The text reads:

"I don't feel like a man or a woman most of the time. ✨️ I'm just me. ✨️"

A close-up of me looking up. The text reads:

"I've felt like this for as long as I can remember. It wasn't until about four years ago that I started putting a name to it.

Something just clicked and I stopped ignoring what I'd been repressing for my entire life."

Me as a child, in my Irish primary school uniform: "I'm just a little kid!"

The text reads:
"When I was a very small child, decades before I had even heard the phrase 'non-binary,' I remember feeling this way.

Half of the time I wasn't even aware I was 'a girl' until someone reminded me."

"Ireland for the Irish" ... unless you're gay or trans 🙄 #ireland #speirgorm

"Unfortunately, Wicklow Pride has come to the decision to postpone our much-anticipated Rainbow Disco. This decision was not made lightly. Due to recent threats and actions, it has become clear that we must prioritise the safety and well-being of our community, especially our young members. We have faced threats of protests from some residents of Newtownmountkennedy, whilst enduring malicious accusations of being "pedophiles" and "groomers". These baseless attacks are deeply troubling. Just today, one of our committee members experienced a horrifying invasion of privacy when someone placed a vile note through their letterbox, branding them with that same disgusting accusation. These accusations underscore the very reason we need Pride. We stand against hate, bigotry, and ignorance. Our young people, who look to us for safety and acceptance, must be our priority. We cannot, in good conscience, hold this event under such hostile conditions. Their safety and mental well-being come first."

Happy #Pride Month. Remember this month, and all months, that queer Palestinians exist and that their biggest threat right now is Israeli bombs falling on them #FreePalestine #AllEyesOnRafah 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸

Queering the Map: a pin somewhere in Palestine. It reads:

"Idk how long I will live so I just want this to be my memory here before I die. I am not going to leave my home, come what may. My biggest regret is not kissing this one guy. He died two days back. We had told how much we like each other and I was too shy to kiss last time. He died in the bombing. I think a big part of me died too. And soon I will be dead. To younus, I will kiss you in heaven."

Queering the Map: a pin somewhere in Palestine. It reads:

"I've always imagined you and me sitting out in the sun, hand in hand, free at last. We spoke of all the places we would go if we could. Yet you are gone now. If I had known that bombs raining down on us would take you from me, I would have gladly told the world how I adored you more than anything. I'm sorry I was a coward."

Queering the Map: a pin somewhere in Palestine. It reads:

"Pls know despite what the media says there are gay Palestinians. We are here, we are queer. Free Palestine."

Queering the Map: a pin somewhere in Palestine. It reads:

"A place were I kiss my first crash. Being gay in Gaza is hard but somehow it was fun. I made out with a lot of boys in my neighborhood. I thought everyone is gay to some level."

And in case you still weren't sure, the contest has banned the Palestinian flag again this year. Nothing new, but worth noting that there seemed to be no issues whatsoever with contestants showing solidarity with Ukraine in 2021. Blatant hypocrisy and racism. #BoycottEurovision

Article from the Helsinki Times:

"In the lead-up to the Eurovision Song Contest set to take place in Malmö, Sweden, organisers have ignited a storm of controversy by announcing a ban on Palestinian flags and pro-Palestinian symbols during the event. The decision, made public by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), has sparked heated debate and drawn sharp criticism from various quarters.

The EBU, responsible for overseeing the competition, declared its intention to remove any Palestinian flags or political symbols wielded by attendees, [...]"

The western trans experience really does be like that sometimes 🫠

1. A man speaking: "People in the middle east treat gay and trans people horribly! They stone people like you to death! How barbaric!"

2. A trans person speaking: "I am a fully consenting adult and I can't access vital healthcare that could save my life. Also someone just tried to murder me in the street."

3. The two of them looking at each other; "..."

4. The man: "Well that's your own fault for being a mentally-ill tr*nny, 48% lol"
