Really good to see UTV and ITVX platforming a disabled activist on this subject - so much of the media has very heavily slanted and misrepresented the debate.

Here's something that takes seconds and could have actual positive outcomes. There is an official 'citizen's petition' system in the EU. There's one open at the moment to ban conversion therapy for LGBT+ people in the EU. Ireland can be 1 of the 7 nations needed eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

And Ireland are now the 3rd country in the EU to support this petition. Good work, all of you.

Absolutely vital now, with LGBT rights under ferocious attack in the US & Britain, that the EU holds firm! Please sign this petition TODAY to ban conversion practices (aka conversion "therapy") throughout the EU. SIGN & SHARE, PLEASE!

Recently got these fab prints from @ciaraioch.bsky.social My pics do not do them justice, but they are gorgeous! Unframed (I'm busy!) The "darkness" print is carrying me at the moment-we have to trust that there's a light waiting for us out there. Support (local) art, you'll miss it when it's gone.

Just met another young person (late 20s) who’s thinking of emigrating. Not because she and her boyfriend want to, but because the cost and conditions of renting in Dublin or nearby counties and the cost of buying, are driving them close to angry despair. There HAS to be a solution. So read this.

I am begging #speirgorm if you read one thing today, make it this. If you aren’t personally affected or don’t work in this area I promise you have no idea how monumentally banjaxed the Join Family visa system in Ireland is.

It can feel futile but please email or call your councillors and TDs about this stupid idea of cutting down the last few trees we have. Without a doubt they’re getting people contacting them in support of this useless, busy work idea

This ancient, wild oak in my place is about 12m from the edge of a road. It has stood there for 100s of years, supporting a whole web of life, bothering nobody. Now they're talking about removing it and countless others, because in Ireland (1% native forest left), nature ALWAYS has to pay.

Senior government figures very surprised that four Regional Independent TDs told Verona Murphy that they would only vote for the coalition on a “case by case basis.” That was not the agreed understanding apparently.

I try not to be alarmist, but as a Jewish academic with a lot of inherited familial trauma, it does not make me feel great that an avowed supporter of the German far-right now has access to my Social Security number.

Anyhow, it would be a great time for Canada to implement Universal Basic Income. Put our reluctant tariff money toward raising the social safety net for the people it's going to hurt worst. Trudeau, you've got nothing to lose, and a potential legacy to gain!
