Ladies, be your own Valentine. Buy yourself chocolates. Order yourself flowers. Bring yourself the head of your own enemy after seven years of bloody warfare to prove yourself worthy of your affection. It's called self-care.

‘Many of my friends have died in laneways. This place is a godsend’ Brian in the Safe Injection Facility in Merchant’s Quay - where he uses heroin in a safe and clean environment. His health issues dealt with. Where he receives care, kindness and physical support. Harm reduction saves lives. PT RTE1

There's a dearth of research on the effectiveness of drug enforcement policing The long-held suspicion by many of us who are well-informed is that it is ineffective except in some very narrow terms This is a really important contribution to our understanding from England

I increasingly do not care about the various ways that America is fucking itself, but I am truly upset for Ukrainians. They have been absolutely heroic, and deserve so much better.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

The rest of the world suggests Zionists can have a state in the US. Let's face it, it would be cheaper for the American people and safer for the Middle East.

‘Accenture, employer of thousands in Ireland, abandons diversity measures after Trump orders’ So it’s now clear that commitments of global companies to inclusion & equality was conditional-they drop the gender/pink washing so easily. It’s always about profit & patriarchal power!! jrnl.ie/6616454

‘Voluntarily’! Nothing voluntary about it … on top of genocide the IDF is now seemingly preparing for ethnic cleansing.

We're looking for people who've had to transliterate their names from another alphabet into the Latin one -- or who've even changed their name to one easier for English speakers to pronounce -- upon moving to Dublin. Want to talk, for an article, about the change: how you decided, how it feels?

Fiona O’Rourke is a terrific facilitator and mentor. I’d recommend this course. Fiona’s built up a lot of experience in the writers and writing of the Troubles. While we in the South did not have the same experience as those in the North, we were and still are affected by the conflict.

You, an amateur, see two Presidents planning to carry out ethnic cleansing. I, an RTE producer, see an opportunity for an episode of Room to Improve. We are not the same.

5 key Arab states—the UAE, Saudi, Jordan, Qatar & Egypt—sent this letter to Rubio “unequivocally” condemning Trump’s endorsement of ethnic cleansing. It won’t happen. But it will distract from Trump’s domestic power grabs, juice up Hamas & put Americans at more risk of terrorism

Looks a bit like the oligarchs in America are dismantling the state, and are planning to loot it, enriching themselves even more.

This is one of the most effective road safety ads we have seen in Ireland.

As the national strategy to end youth homelessness reaches an end, many of its promises remain unfulfilled. Of 27 actions, seven have been completed. And the number of people aged 18–24 who are homeless rose 33 percent between 2022 and 2024. dublininquirer.com/2...
