The white folks in the replies trying to insist OP is wrong is exactly why y’all should stop talking about woke. You don’t know what it means. And when someone Black tries to tell you what it means, he’s accused of mansplaining a lifelong activist. Just absolute shit.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

The public health nurse shortage is actually very scary but as a first and basic step surely the PHNs that are in Dublin should be reallocated to areas where people are less likely to have the resources for private care

I’ve always thought of FF as being fairly aware of public opinion but the line they’re taking re Lowry and his lads is so far off base. Mad stuff.

Thinking of Ann Lovett today, ##otd 1984, 15yrs old & pregnant, she went to the grotto in Granard where she gave birth to a still born baby boy, she was found sometime later but died shortly after of hypothermia & blood loss. Her story shocked the country #speirgorm www.thejournal.ie/readme/ann-l...

I wasn't thrilled with RTE's reporting of #StormÉowyn wrt #climatechange last week... Thanks to @irishexaminer.bsky.social for letting me express my concerns on the costs of RTE's "muddled climate messaging" and why it matters so much here 1/2: www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

“Ah no, you couldn’t do that now, it would be unfair to all the very qualified men”. Sweet gods can you imagine how that sounds to every woman on this island right now…

Also, if you want to start fixing it? Make every single Taoiseach’s nominee to the Seanad a woman. Every single one. It’s the closest to an easy fix that will ever be available to you.

Seriously now FF/FG would do well to stop making excuses re the women at cabinet thing. Put your hands up. Admit that, somehow, you didn’t see the problem with this lineup. Admit that, even now, you’re doing nothing to fix it.

Three women in cabinet in 2025 is pathetic and shows a total lack of any actual commitment to fixing the problem.

I’m going to admit that I’m judging people who don’t know the name. This is a character flaw on my part but I’m fine with it.

A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it. Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was. Headline: “A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute”

afrikaner doing a fascist salute on the stage on mlk day is i think a pretty perfect encapsulation of where we are in america, thankfully our media is pretty prepared to cover it

Just had a delicious sandwich which was unfortunately not what I ordered. Restaurants of Ireland, if you’re making it with rashers it’s not a BLT. The B is for bacon as in crispy, you may know it as streaky. Do not make this with soft gammony yokes and call it a BLT, it is a crime.

A group of men moved away to the other side of the restaurant last night away from where myself and 3 other women I was having dinner with because one of them “can’t stand womens laughs” we were having such a normal civil conversation- we could hear them braying & yeooo-inf the rest of the night
