I need to ramp up my bullying of my father He has a PhD in African History and, while doing doctoral work in Apartheid South Africa, wound up becoming a speech writer for Nelson Mandela, so lately I've been like can you PLEASE use all your booklearnin & experience and reach out to NYT or something

All my queer homies love to wear the colour 'geige'.

Natalism has always been a fundamental part of the extreme right's project to reorder society. Fewer or no immigrants, women as baby machines and in the home, eugenics, homophobia. Like every nasty ideology it has it's open advocates, and it has it's useful idiots. www.vogue.com/article/dark...

Me logging into Bluesky

I've seen people try to deligitimise the similarities between Palestine and The North in this "You don't understand!" kind of way but then you get shit like this and it is EXACTLY how the British state and media tried to downplay their oppression and violent crimes in the North The exact same way

all I see is this

Looks like I picked the wrong day to have a giant pile of sugar

In the 8 years between 2017 and 2024, The Mail, Telegraph, Guardian, Observer, Mirror, Express, and Star have printed a total of 10, 430 articles about trans people. Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty.

A few weeks ago I had that sudden and scary realisation, that we all have at some point in life, that what you do in a given day is representative of what your life will look like on your deathbed. It's a horrific motivator to complete any unfinished projects or pursue any long sought after dream.

It’s fckd if his brother is dumping off his stocks 😂😂😂

Having lost a car to a drunk driver on a back road near Maynooth I can confirm people drive like fucking maniacs and there is zero punishment for it...bar death.

“The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. No, the true measure of a man is this: how quickly can he respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give.” ― Philip K. Dick

Kneecap Responds After Member Charged With Terrorism Offense in UK

They’ve charged Mo Chara from kneecap with terrorist offences. Fuck that. Solidarity with Mo Chara and Kneecap. Calling out a genocide is a moral duty. Fuck any law or cunts says otherwise. #kneecap #speirgorm

Let's have our first kiss in...

1.5 million down with a longstanding reality of the best and brightest leaving for better opportunities and affordable housing. Over 20% of the population weren't born here. If Ireland didn't have immigrants the economy, healthcare, public transport and consumer society would collapse.

Bill Clinton much like Blair hijacked the Democratic party to shove a neoliberal agenda (NAFTA and offshoring to China) down the throat of their working class supporters. That killed the old Democratic party.

There is nothing controversial, let alone radical, in the suggestion that we engage in the exercise of imagining how the world would react if any state - any other state, bar perhaps the US - was conducting hostilities the way Israel is, and has since October 2023 especially (but not just).

There's an interesting symmetry between one of the causes of the Early Modern witch trials in Europe and the current wave of mono sphere misogynists and their desires to repress independent women. Both may be caused by a significant chunk of women staying single rather than marrying.

Via Euronews: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez calls for Israel to be excluded from Eurovision over Gaza war www.euronews.com/culture/2025...

I'm reading Pankaj Mishra's new book on the Gaza genocide and it's background in Zionist ideology stretching back to Jabotinsky in 1930s and his political descendants Likud. There is nothing new about what is happening right now. Ethnic cleansing is backed into what Israel has been for a long time.

You know what’ll sort this out? A Housing Tsar.

This is what Tolkien meant when he called Sam the true hero of the Lord of the Rings.

this was Eurovision 2024, if you’re wondering why they banned pride flags at Eurovision 2025

The UK public vote gave 12 points to Israel in the Eurovision. Sick bastards.

When the history books are finally written about this period of time Corbyn will finally get his flowers and the "journalists" who maligned him with Fascist Zionist propaganda will be named and I hope shamed for aiding and abetting genocide.

A lot of Leftists discount the possibility that anything but class and wealth inequality motivates people. This is rooted in old Marxist ideas of economics being at the root of all social and cultural phenomenon. In reality, class plays a role but so does racism, ignorance, Nationalism, religion,etc

Good afternoon from the Kingdom ☀️

Israel will be looked back on as the crusader state reborn in 100 years. Violent, unstable, racist, genocidal, and doomed to fail once Arabs unite behind a common cause, much like the Kingdom of Jerusalem of the 12th century.
