Hmmm, this is a decade since marriage equality in Ireland meaning it would be a good time to take a trip over and shown around by a gay tour guide, right? [points to self]

🚨 Urgent plea! My Husband has 5 children & lost his only source of income & Home 😔. We 're starving. He has chronic hypertension 🫀 and uses expired medicines 💊. 🎯 He desperately needs $250 💸 for treatment & a BP monitor urgent 🩺 & to be alive. Don’t look away. 💔 🔗 tinyurl.com/HelpModyfamily

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively. Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

A humanitarian appeal. Ahmed is in poor health, suffering from severe health problems and malnutrition.😭☹️ He is now suffering from a respiratory crisis and needs urgent surgery. We don't have enough money to perform it Your support means a lot to my child.💔🙏🏻 Donate for my son 👇👇 gofund.me/0ea13573

Please take a moment to read 🙏 My family of 8 in Gaza has been suffering for 16 months. We lost our home and my sick father. We now live in a tent with no food, no clean water, and no safety. 💔 We can't survive without your help. Please share and donate 🫂 gofund.me/b73ae5d3

Ireland is rife with this kind of "leadership". People who use phrases like "stakeholder engagement" and "community consultation" as jargon that sound nice while proceeding with dictatorial decision making. It's utterly pathetic and we need to do better.

This is the most RTÉ-brained shit imaginable, Bakhurst should resign.

Heard that Irish hacks who haven't murmured a word about their colleagues in Gaza being slaughtered suddenly outraged that Ruth Coppinger told Gript and John McLurk to take a hike.

"Israel killed nearly two-thirds of the 124 journalists who died around the world in 2024" - you would imagine this would cause a commotion in the world of news journalism, wouldn't you.

My daughter Julia is now three years old God blessed me with her after six years of marriage and three failed IVF treatments during which she lost her childhood and her beautiful homeI am six months pregnant and lack all the necessary nutrients for proper nutrition Please help us gofund.me/f816f59f

My friends, our lives are tragic after the loss of my father. Please, my sisters and I need help. We live in a tent with no food or drink. We have lost everything. 🙏🥺💔🇵🇸 Donation link: gofund.me/6f9c2ce7

Bluesky is “screen reader accessible” the way a staircase with curb cuts on each step is a “wheelchair ramp.” No keyboard nav. No useful landmarks. No focus memory. I lose my place every time I interact with a post. Compliance ≠ usability. Day 1 asking @support.bsky.team to fix this #A11yFail

This is dumb and bad. There is no need for any other commentary than that. Commercial plantations on deep peatlands are dumb and bad. Normalise calling things which are dumb and bad what they are; dumb and bad.

We are caught in an unending war, having lost safety and peace. Every day is a battle for survival, and the pain is unbearable. We need your support now more than ever. Your donation or sharing our story can give us the hope we desperately need. Vetted by Molly donate please 🙏🏻💔 gofund.me/3fe9bf4f

Before the war I was a professor, a provider, and a builder of dreams. Now I lost my jop and My dream😓💔 Above that we have little chance to survive, and any help can make a huge difference in Our life. No one care about us, You are our only hope.. 🙏♥️https://gofund.me/76c89c95

Technically this doesn't work in Ireland because of how we write our dates...but I'm still using this as a call out for short kings for [signal cuts out]

Walton Goggins dazzles in this NESTS number that hits multiple times, does significant chip, and can even reflect projectiles. Fashion industry insiders believe this will help him against Zendaya's strong fireball game.

Two nuclear powers at war. Damn. Thank goodness, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard are in charge.
