Sue Kirk @suekirk.bsky.social · 16hI believe MOST of the support was from people who did not understand what was happening and, more terrifyingly, what was about to happen. I was genuinely worried about what we were 24 hours away from and felt people had their head in the sand 060
Sue Kirk @suekirk.bsky.social · 16hspeaking to my hairdresser at the time who thought the protest was great. I said, in about 2 days, no one will be able to access fuel & you will have no clients or staff. How long can this (very new) business survive if it has to shut down? He immediately changed his mind. He then got quite worried 210
Sue Kirk @suekirk.bsky.social · 17hI am not saying it did not have any support but the fuel protests were not 'very popular'. But, it seems so insulting to the people striking today to have any association with the 'fuel protest' 2271
Sue Kirk @suekirk.bsky.social · 17h...and the few people I met who were in favour, changed their minds when I explained what was actually happening. And more importantly, that we were hours away from societal collapse because 4 loo lahs off Facebook decided their needs were more important than the needs of the country. 2231
Sue Kirk @suekirk.bsky.social · 17hObviously a lot of strike discourse in the media today but, I am so baffled at the rewriting of history when it comes to the fuel protests earlier in the year. I keep hearing 'the fuel protests were very popular among the public. The vast majority of people I spoke to were not in favour and... 2476

Sue Kirk @suekirk.bsky.social · 09/10/2026you know what, part of me thinks ok, let them, let them make all this mandatory. then, after this fixes absolutely nothing, they might be forced to enforce rules on motorists and provide actual infrastructure. I mean, I know they won't but at least they will have run out of excuses. 030
Sue Kirk @suekirk.bsky.social · 09/10/2026A friend was in a bar in town this week and ordered a round of drinks. In the taxi home he looked at the receipt to see a 20% tip had been automatically added. For four drinks he had to queue up for himself. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this not f*cking insane? 010

We told an Irish American girl that when the Muppets was released in Ireland, Kermit the Frog was called Dermot the Frog because Cromwell’s son was a Kermit. 641674354

Sue Kirk @suekirk.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I do not know what the solution is but, I think one big issue is how we socially gender kids the second they pop out into the world! Most of it, innocent meaning enough. But it sticks. These little labels we attach to girls and to boys, even when they are days old. If that makes sense. 110
Sue Kirk @suekirk.bsky.social · 03/10/2026people say every woman has a story. But that isn't true. Every woman has several stories. But, I think that most men just don't know that. And as you say, no awareness that daily life is just so different. 110
Sue Kirk @suekirk.bsky.social · 03/10/2026i think men genuinely do not understand the scale of it because that is never *their* experience of men (not never, but you know what I mean). I also think men don't like being told they are wrong, or that they don't understand something, so I think their opinion can remain quite fixed. 130
