A bog body found in #Ireland, previously thought to be a male, has actually been confirmed to be female. Evidence shows her throat was slit and she was decapitated before being thrown into the bog sometime between the 4th and 1st century BCE. Researchers believe she may have been a human sacrifice.

Very sad to hear about Jennifer Johnston today. She was a great friend to the Lyric and to the Tinderbox family over many years. Straight talking, generous, wise and encouraging, her contribution to the wider arts landscape was immense…

I am NOT in agreement with the UK's reduction of overseas development aid from 5% to 3%, and the proliferation of weapons in an increasingly dangerous world. I am therefore resigning my membership of the UK Labour Party. Peace leadership requires strong leadership. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social 😞

Principled stance from N/Ireland's First Minister, Michelle O'Neill. Not attending the White House for St. Patrick's Day is a big deal, but she stands on the right side of history + support the Palestinian people against suggested mass expulsion from their land.☘️💚🇵🇸 www.linkedin.com/posts/ugcPos...

I was born in a country without access to #contraception, and grew up in a country without access to safe, legal abortion. As a relatively young woman (ahem) that shocks people I tell here. Every gain was fought hard for, and there is more to fight for and protect. #reproductiverights #birthcontrol
