I say this with that utmost respect for this hero.
Have you ever seen a man more simultaneously Irish AND Palestinian? The big Irish Palestinian head on him.
Getting a load of followers on Instagram is bullshit. Either you have to be very good looking or have a good eye for photos. I earned my 4 thousand followers on here the hard way: by tweeting every bullshit thought I've ever had in my bullshit life
Sorry to Glinner-post but I woke up to him in my replies and is this not the most pathetic thing to do, signing off your tweet like this? I am bent double from cringe
Honestly if we drop History as a compulsory subject fro Junior Cert we will end up like the brits, no knowledge of the world around us and how we got here
I've come fully around to the portal. It's class. Generated more interaction and discussion than most public art. We've really seen the full gamit of Irish culture. We have pure piss takers (9/11 images), lads taking coke in front of it (pure craic), flashed arses...
Delighted to hear former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson, has been appointed Chair of the Elders. Founded by
#NelsonMandela
@TheElders
is an independent leaders group promoting peace, justice and human rights around the world. Comhghairdeas Mrs Robinson.
With this talk of micro cheating. My best friend is a straight married man. His workmates think it is scandalous that he and I went to the cinema, because I am not his wife. These people are in their 30s and 40s. This is wild, right?
I love that stories like this have emerged immediately. The government have no right to claim Kellie's victory as theirs and they should not be allowed to
Ya know the mad thing? The people who repealed the 8th, the mam's who took out fliers on their own with the buggy down the country road in Mayo, every person who canvassed, and everyone else who worked on it for decades. They NEVER claim to have won it. Even tho they did
I know this isn't isn't original thought but I genuinely can't imagine the Hayley and Roy storyline happening now. What a sad indictment of British feminism
If Marks and Spencer's close in Ireland there will be 0 places for me to get underwear, sports clothes, etc in Dublin, the capital city of Ireland because I am above a size 20
The Delta variant has different symptoms to other variants of Covid 19. Whhyyyyyyy is this not being communicated by the Department of Health??
How is public health communication still so bad 18 months into this?
If you promise people a job in Ireland and then when they arrive the money isn't enough to live on and they have to spend 500 quid to share a bed with a stranger, some might call that human trafficking
Sorry to triple quote but even if we take gender out of it, I think the success of Barbie also shows the appetite for a feature length comedy. Something that is funny from start to finish. Not just a superhero's sidekick saying "Well that just happened".
#WhoNeedsYourYes
I'm voting yes for Savita, for Ann Lovett, for Miss X and Miss Y, for those who bleed in airports, for those that order pills, for those that run underground networks to help others access help. And for myself. I need it too.
This is really scary for many reasons. A cashless society affects and excludes the most vulnerable. If people are being charged to take out their own money but not when they are paying via card they will carry less cash.
So, today, we learned our subsised banks - AIB and Bank of Ireland - are selling their ATM networks to an American company that will charge you €3.50 to withdraw even €10. Make this an election issue. We cannot take this stealth tax shit.
Noel Rock and Simon Harris are tweeting about that Berlin 2 stuff to distract from that story about the monitoring of anti Direct Provision sentiment. The major crime of the Berlin 2 stuff is that it is a bit cringe.
Blaming "cancel culture" is too flattening. Caroline Flack didn't wear a Native American headdress as a costume at a festival, she was in the middle of being prosecuted for domestic violence. It is much more complex than "cancel culture".
*This does not mean she should be dead!*
I like to slag the brits as much as anyone but it is genuinely distressing to see how the ruling class are willing to throw the working class under the bus like this.
Shit, if Simon and Leo think protests outside their gaff are bad, wait til they hear about the harrassment of pregnant people going in and out of hospitals
My friend is sitting down tonight to have The Talk with his Canadian wife. You know The Talk. Its serious. The one where his wife has tried to stop him bad mouthing The Brits in front of his child and he has to explain that to stop would be imperialism and colonialism
No one wants to go back to Zoom pints but this time round please do spare a thought for your friends living on their own who will literally talk to no one else
I'm just going to take this moment to bring back some petty tweets. Lots of men saying that repeal would lead to a surge for FG in the wake of the referendum. How's that working out now? Repeal was grassroots, women-led and not owned by any party.
I get that Glinner used be really good at the internet, like really really good, like his blog post would be one of the first places that people would go. But now he tweets exclusively transphobia from the moment he gets up till he goes to bed at night, nothing else
When the fash come for sex workers (which they are starting to) the left better stand with them. I'm looking at you SWP/Workers Party/nearly all unions/Sinn Fein
She was also An Actual Victim of Cancel Culture, not whichever loads of grifters claiming that about themselves. The whole world bullied her, for using her platform to highlight atrocities.
The biggest act of solidarity that men can have with us is to vote Yes. Saying its an issue left to women and not voting is voting for the other side
#men4yes
Already seeing the god awful take about Argentina that abortion access should be left to people to decide. A referendum is a horrible way to decide this. I never want a country to go through what we went through.
