Love It’s A Trap on Aungier St. They were sadly broken into at the weekend so if you fancy a delicious plant-based treat and amazing coffee, drop in to them and say hi. Their cinnamon rolls are historic and if you click into the photo, the little sign reads “Cinnamon Rolls, Not Gender Roles” 💚

The Co-founder of Airbnb folks. A craven hypocrite. Bending the knee to MAGA. Having previously presented himself as a defender of refugee rights. Bye bye Airbnb.

Agree with this, but another interesting thing for me is how people in these organisations are clearly aware that this is not about "creating a meritocracy", it's very much about signalling white supremacy.

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

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/#...

If this is real, it would be worth taking the interview to convince them you're a killer, only to act like a total jobsworth once you start.

There's a petition to ban conversion practices (targeting LGBTQIA+ people) in the European Union. We need one million signatures, and we currently have 180,000+. If you live in Europe (even if you don't), spread the word ! 🌈🔥✊ eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

I could make a joke about this being like having an enthusiastic bigot in charge of the human rights commission but, well, we do and Labour just extended her term.

Given that, 'at conception' every single person is female, Trump's Executive Order seems to constitute a legal statement that all people in the United States are Female. In theory, anyone could argue in court that by this definition they are female... So much for 'biological reality'.
