Accepting that genocide is taking place in Palestine means Micheál Martin can no longer cling to the pretence he doesn’t know what Ireland is helping make possible. Every day he fails to act is culpability in the attempted destruction of an entire people www.ontheditch.com/micheal-mart...

Ruck you! In 2021 World Rugby banned trans women from women's rugby. The players didn't ask for it, nor were they consulted. It undermines the very culture of women's rugby. This episode is about lived experience, scientific rigour and sisterhood. Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/11Su...

To mark the 1st day of my 4th year without Alice I have an announcement: I’ve joined up with a determined group of women working to change the narrative around trans people. Women standing in solidarity with our trans siblings. Our first step is to ask cis women to read and sign our open letter ⬇️

So out of England, a group of former international cis women rugby players are organising a match against trans women to show how stupid the ban on trans women’s participation is. They are calling this match - Ruck You. I love this. Follow along here: www.instagram.com/the_ruckyou_match

Another 14,000 children are likely to starve in the next 24 hours unless the US does something. 35 Senators have already signed on to a resolution to end the blockade. I wrote a letter about it you can copy and paste to send to your senator.

This is fucking disgusting on so many levels. I’m with you Neilly, and sorry our elected officials feel empowered to speak to their constituents like this. Keep at it, muintir na hÉireann 💚

New info about owners of South Sudan-bound ICE plane that left TX yesterday and landed in Djibouti 10 am today. I made this thread this am but was waiting for confirmation it was the plane. NYT has confirmed now. @gbrockell.bsky.social first found and tracked it to a stop in Ireland last night./

I am heartsick. My landlady just cut down the most beautiful tree that provided shelter, beauty, flowers, greenery for who knows how many decades. I am utterly distraught. Where is the sense? #nature #destruction #murder #destroyed #biodiversity #conservation

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for nine days. What the HELL? 1/

Hellooooo I'm sure you've seen people suggest it's totally harmless to generate the odd AI image just for a bit of fun but let's take the theft from artists out of the equation...it uses the same amount of power to create five AI images as it does to boil the water for a mug of coffee.

"It’s hard to imagine a more wasteful way to catch fish" Yet the Irish government doesn't even support removing bottom trawling from 'special areas of conservation' www.discoverwildlife.com/tv/david-att...

I don’t want to get annoyed by this because there’s so many things to get annoyed about and ultimately this will disappear in deserved ridicule (just let them wear the fecking shorts ya dolts) but I “enjoyed” this trip back to 1935 Cork 🙄 Seems appropriate. #downwiththatskortofthing

It’s incredible that the extreme violence and barbarism of bottom trawling isn’t a criminal offence. Watch the video below to get a sense of the terror facing fish as they try to escape as their habitats are annihilated.

Eurovision is coming up and it should not be giving apartheid Israel a platform to artwash its genocidal crimes against Palestinians. Israel should be expelled, RTÉ should not go as long as it is participating. Join us on Friday at RTÉ for live music and speakers to say #BoycottEurovision2025

Trans guy asks 60 gyms if he’d be welcome to join. The responses include him being asked what genitalia he has, and telling him he must use the women’s changing rooms. How is this consistent with his dignity? How does it make women safe? inews.co.uk/news/gyms-tr...
