At the roller derby - Dublin Roller Derby's Mighty Dubs Vs Liverpool Roller Birds' Sisters of Mersey. Palestinian Armbands in abundance. A firm conviction from the whole community that Trans people belong in sport. Also lots of people going "OH HI GOOD TO SEE YA" to me specifically. I like it here.

Can someone send them that scene in Ted Lasso where Sam Obisanye covers up the logo on his shirt and his teammates followed suit and everybody thought they were brilliant? #StopTheGame

Even if the game does go ahead (i hope it doesn't) Gavin Buzunu is a hero for stepping up. The squad is in a very very difficult position and it should never have come to this.

It’s not easy and it isn’t their fault. They didn’t want this. And now they’re just a bunch of young men left alone with their obligations and their consciences. And what a credit to them that their conscience weighs so heavy in the first place.

over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

80 hours of embroidery! This aerial landscape is directly inspired by Dartmoor and I'd say I have another 30-ish hours to go? I'm now starting to fill in the fields for the sheep, the tor area will be done last as I'm still deciding whether I want a slope or not 😅 I hope you like it! #art

8 years after Repeal, those seeking abortion in Ireland are still subject to an unnecessary 3 day waiting period, an unworkable 12 week cut off, and a lack of providers throughout the country. If that doesn't sound very much like Repeal to you, join the march in Dublin this Saturday!

Younglings. It doesn't matter what job you're in if management ask for a meeting and say don't bring a Union rep. YOU BRING A UNION REP. Also get the contact details for the last law firm they lost a case to so if they do get shirty about the rep being there, offer the firm as an alternative rep.

When disabled people oppose Assisted Dying, it’s almost never from a religious point of view. It’s not because we’re anti-choice or that we want to force people to suffer. We oppose it because society devalues disabled lives and uses these programs in an unethical manner. They become eugenics. 🧵

Ethically, i believed coercing someone into assisted dying because you don't believe their life has value is murder by proxy. I wouldn't stand for someone whispering "kill yourself" in someone's ear until they did it. It's WORSE if a doctor does it.

OpenAI did not "lose control", the agents did not go "rogue" and there is no "swarm" that "escaped". all control and responsibility remains firmly in the hands of these "frontier" labs. most importantly this "rogue" narrative is an intentional and strategic marketing PR

Now feels like a good time to share that the mean gender bonus gap in the GAA is 47.2%, and that I only know that recently because their pay gap report was MONTHS late. Metadata in the PDF suggests it was created in May of this year. The deadline was November last year...

I reiterate my position that there is almost never any need to mention Jews or Jewishness when talking about Israel as a nation state. It's never going to end up anywhere but antisemitism if you start using the concepts interchangeably like this.

It is noticeable that whenever the Irish government says it wants to become more like our European neighbours it's never about things like rent controls, tenant rights, workers rights, public health care and always about thinks like the border regime and militarisation...

I don't want to be more in line with the rest of the EU on citizenship. I want us to repeal the fucking 27th Amendement and return to our own tradition of birthright citizenship instead of the jus sanguinis shite that tells people born and reared here they aren't Irish if they have immigrant parents

Gently escorted the fascist thugs to the train station where they were free to go home. All masked so no identification. No arrests. That event was a roaring screaming success for the fascists. They acted with no repercussions and will be encouraged to do so again because they were not stopped.

Realised part of the reason I'm feeling hopeless and weepy this morning is that i forgot my venlafaxine yesterday. That withdrawal is WICKED and i hate it. 24 hours and I'm dizzy and nauseated and weepy and do not want to be alive And NONE of it is me. It's the meds. I'm trapped.

September is Bi Visibility Month, so perceiving me may be easier, as all bisexuals have disadvantage on stealth rolls until Halloween 1st.
BI REMINDER
💜Bisexual women are still bi even if they're dating men
🩷Bisexual men exist, and they're not "just gay"
💙Ace/Aro bisexuals, & Nonbinary
bisexuals exist
💜Sexual orientation is about attraction, not action
🩷Bisexuals dont need to have dated all the genders/gender identities they re attracted to - to know they're attracted to them
