Today there was tragedy which involved the stabbing of children in Dublin City, sick and inexcusable.
That doesn’t excuse the scenes coming out of Dublin tonight. Absolute feral animals who don’t give a single fuck about the victims. Just looking for any excuse to loot and burn

Only a few weeks ago I saw a witch hunt against a 27 year old for having a boyfriend who was 22 and they were saying it was predatory. Absolutely wild behaviour

Some people may have been waiting for payday at the end of the month to get socks, shoes, pyjamas for their children. Technology is a struggle for some.
Maybe, just maybe, try a bit of understanding and empathy. Not everyone has the circumstances that you do.
@SelmaLoughran
So organise a large scale peaceful demonstration outside the Dail. I’d support that even if I disagree with you on certain things. That’s why it’s there. Attacking people, burning a luas and buses, looting shops. Ya think that’s gonna make people think you’re rational?
@rtenews
Calling someone China noodle and Coronavirus before pushing them in to a canal because of their ethnicity isn't "alleged" racism, it's blatant racism
Beyond devastating 💔
“Hey don’t become racist. Be nice brother. I love German people.”
A South Korean woman tourist vlogging her time in Germany.
I’m crying 😭
Our Molly passed away this morning, on my dads anniversary. She was a terror at times but also the best friend you could ask for the last 14+ years. I’m devastated but at least she’s not suffering. Rest easy now girl 💔
Sure we did it. Dublin Pride 2023 was great craic and I’m privileged to work with so many amazing people. Now I can sleep for a few days before we start planning the next one.
Thanks to the tens of thousands who turned out and made this year so special 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
@StefPreissner
Some people would have us all lock ourselves at home until a vaccine is found. I don't see the problem with your video.
Though the street should be shut to all traffic to allow even more seating in a socially distanced fashion.
Dublin City Council LOVE digging up small patches of roads and paths and then filling it in with a completely different material than the original surface.
They also LOVE calling it temporary and leaving it for years.
@philby_harold
I’m not suggesting there aren’t people there with good intentions even if I disagree with them on various issues. Just pointing out those burning and looting are scum
I’m proud to have grown up in a council house in a council estate in Clondalkin.
I’ve seen the decency of working class people, the compassion of so many - I’ll be fucked if I’m gonna let some neo nazis try to make out like they represent working class communities
Violence against our community is on the rise, with homophobic & transphobic attacks reported in recent days.

Was in Galway today for work and there was an exhibition about the history of Galway Pride we decided to check out and next thing I see my big head from about fifteen years ago.
The hair. The collar. I can’t 😂
@sophkelly1
Let's not pit elements of society against one another. The state is perfectly able to do right by both groups, they just lack political will.
There’s this weird accusation of classism you get when you say you think Dublin should feel safer at night.
I’m from a working class area and grew up around poverty most of my life so it’s not about that. It’s about violence and a City Council/Govt that don’t seem to care
Me watching Game of Thrones after loving it for many years and hoping for it to be over soon because the showrunners destroyed it.

My dad passed away 23 years ago today and I know it was the 90's but I'm still not ready to forgive my mother for putting a Celine Dion lyric on his headstone 😝

Maybe because, with the exception of a minority of troublemakers, it's the Gardaí who are acting disproportionately like thugs. They've claimed they have been under attack - but with no video evidence to back this up?
Big Congratulations to

who nailed his job interview and got offered the job as assistant lecturer in Philosophy of Education at Maynooth. I'm really proud. Now if we just work on your myriad of personality flaws, you might turn out reasonably OK. ❤️
@kennymyl
So I didn’t remotely say it was ok; I simply said it wasn’t an excuse for looting and burning businesses. I think in fact I used the word inexcusable. Maybe read a tweet before responding

I would say people 18-30 should of been vaccinated before 30-45.
They socialise more, tend to work in jobs that involve a lot of mixing (retail, hospitality) live with more people etc...
After over half a year of planning, over a month of six day weeks, long hours, countless emails and virtual meetings - the Dublin LGBTQ+ Pride Festival went fab.
Now for a brief rest, then we'll start planning for 2022 😝
For every bit of vandalism we see, we should put up twenty more flags.
Don't be disheartened, get active, make noise, support businesses that belong to, or support, LGBTQ+ people.
Drown out the negative with positive. Bigotry will never win.

I want to congratulate him on passing his PhD viva with no corrections.
With that and a lecturing job lined up - you've plenty of reasons to be delighted with life right about now.
Congrats Doctor Henry.
Not my GP saying "OK Jamie, I know your two jabs were Pfizer but the booster we are giving you today is Moderna because Pfizer is just for young people"
No post-vaccine symptoms will last longer than that burn 😂
Why not come to the Pride Hub at 44 Clarendon Street, Dublin 2?
You can get a few pride bits and what’s more, you can distract me from working on the parade 😝

Ah now don't make me go defend Fine Gael 🙄
He's entitled to go for dinner with his other half, he's entitled to take a bloody selfie.
Also as much as I supported SF/Change, you don't seem to understand how our election system works.
Stop being an overgrown child.
Was delighted to be at the unveiling of the national HIV/AIDS monument today in the Phoenix Park.
Great to hear from activists young and old and well done to

The Taoiseach was asked about nightclubs and he said "specific sector guidance will be worked on in the coming days" but he "won't go into specifics".
Nightclubs are due to reopen in.... three days.
The Brits are just shite craic at funerals.
If this was Ireland it’d be over in about an hour then we’d go to a pub for an afters and eventually get half cut and start taking the piss out of the person who died.
Anxiously and emotionally watching Australia.
Here's hoping it's a resounding yes.
Best of luck from Ireland. We did it, you can too 🏳️🌈

Yes she probably is. Doubt she needs you or I to approve of her. Yes obesity is a big issue in our society but obese people exist, they feel, they laugh, they love. They deserve just as much representation as anyone else. Particularly in an industry that usually ignored them

As opposed to half the crooks that wear a fancy suit.
I'd much rather have someone that looks casual and is true to the people that voted her or him in, than someone who looks expensive and betrays every promise they've ever made to the electorate.
The only thing I don't like about
@crystalwillseeu
in drag is that they cover up their boy face because he's a hotty.
But aside from that she is STUNNING, that look last night was one of the best I'd seen on ANY drag RACE queen, US or UK.

The Jesy Nelson song with Nicki Minaj is giving very 2001 vibes, and not in a good way.
Like I hope she's in a better place mentally & wish her the best, but the song is...kinda terrible, and the music video is...uncomfortable.
And that's before we get into the Blackfishing 😬
