Highly recommend spraying yourself with your teenage perfume in the airport and sticking on a UK garage playlist so you can ride a wave of nostalgia all the way to your gate.

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

i am sure most people here are going to Trans Pride this weekend, but for those who haven't even considered it yet, i would urge you to go. i was assaulted while putting posters up for the event over the weekend, by two far right losers who had been covertly recording myself, my partner & my friend

Every bit of human contact in hospital is invaluable, you spend so much time feeling isolated. I hate this.

The government's banning of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was UNLAWFUL, rules the High Court. This is a massive vindication for those who fought Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people - which is facilitated by our government.

As the Olympics commence I’d like to share the fact that my friend Sarah records them in full and then consumes them in totality over the following two years. She has really been cramming them in over the last few weeks to make room for Milano Cortina.

"We are now seeing eviction rates that have not been seen in Ireland since the 1850s." A damning reality laid bare in this piece of well-researched analysis.

'We're seeing eviction rates not seen in Ireland since the 1850s'

The issuing of 5,000 eviction notices in three months last year is quite revealing when viewed against Ireland's historical record

‘The show delivers fulsomely, and it probably delivers even more if you’re not watching through the same lens as me (completely freaking out that if they mess this up, then I can kiss The Muppet Show goodbye for another 45 years).’ They let me review the new Muppets Show special-slash-pilot.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

In one of her first public actions as the newly elected Uachtarán na hÉireann (president of Ireland) Catherine Connolly has written a public letter of solidarity on Trans Remembrance Day. It is a very promising start.

A letter from the newly elected president of Ireland, Catherine Connolly to mark Transgender Day of Remembrance. While the greeting and the signoff are an Irish, the English text reads

“I would like to extend my warmest wishes to all in the transgender community, your families and friends, as you gather this evening for this year's Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Today we pause to honour those whose lives have been cut short by horrific acts of violence or hatred. Their memory calls on each of us to challenge prejudice wherever it arises and to build a society rooted in respect and understanding.
This year's gathering carries particular significance too as we mark the tenth anniversary of Ireland's Gender Recognition Act. That milestone stands as a testament to the courage and perseverance of transgender people and their allies who worked tirelessly for recognition, equality, and the simple affirmation of identity. Yet it also reminds us that the work of safeguarding dignity and ensuring genuine inclusion remains ongoing.”
