On to Panel II on the Feminist Drafting Workshop at University of Limerick. Some great discussions on the theory and practice #feminist #DFLW

Heading off to School of Law in Limerick today for #DoingFeministLegalWork event tomorow 👇 Lots of fab feminist legal folk @drmaebhharding.bsky.social @ruthfletcher.bsky.social Eithne Dowds, @sineadring.bsky.social Aisling McMahon, @shepersisted4.bsky.social, Kathryn O'Sullivan to catch up with!

Connecting humanity has been experiencing a shortage of eSIMS for a while. eSIMs are the only way for Palestinians in Gaza to connect with the outside world. If you have the means to donate, please consider. connecting-humanity.org

Let Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael at it. Hope that the Labour Party don’t continue to prop up the right. I maybe wrong but suspect the Soc Dems have enough wit not to prop up FFG. Labour are where they are because of their time in Government.

It's been an odd night. As I was going to bed, someone named Katie Hannon tagged me in a post I didn't understand. I woke up at 1:30 to pee and saw that 30 strangers in Ireland were following me. I woke at 4:30 to pee again (yes, I'm old) and saw that even more Irish are following me...

Voted Left, transferred left! Did not go down the full ballot. #NoBillNoVote #ActionNotWords #SanctionIsrael

A horrible thread of examples of racist abuse the OP has endured. But we can use our vote to marginalise the racist candidates. And remember the Palestinian people when you vote, vote for those that will pass the Occupied Territories Bill. Vote left transfer left!

Well that’s not a surprise!

Mortifying trying to promote work on here at this time of year, but unfortunately it's still necessary to make a living drawing due to a significant delay in successfully wooing a wealthy North Kerry farmer and being whisked off in his John Deere to a life of diamond-encrusted wellies

I don’t know what to do anymore! I feel so impotent in the face of the daily horror! I can’t imagine the actual trauma of being a Palestinian or Lebanese person right now. I’m voting for parties I think will enact the Occupied Territories Bill! #NoBillNoVote #EndGenocide #TradingIsComplicity

Here are some nice mushrooms

This is terrifying, meanwhile we are getting more data centres but need more public transport options. I’ve lived in cities with good PT and only rarely had to use a car and it was preferable. We are so poorly served with PT, times, frequency, safety, cleanliness all need work.

Was looking for thermal bras online and they don't seem to exist in the way I was envisaging, so I've come up with a prototype

Well, I forgot how many FF’ers are anti choice - good timely reminder!

Arrest warrant for “alleged war crimes & crimes against humanity” seems to be incompatible with human rights clause of the EU-Israel agreement. Will the EU uphold its core aim “strict observance of international law” Or will they continue to support genocide! #SanctionsNow

At last. These war criminals are responsible for murdering tens of thousands of CHILDREN.

I’d actually love if anyone from @fiannafailparty.bsky.social or @finegaelparty.bsky.social could point out one metric in health or homelessness where we have made progress in the last 5 years

Party Leader Holly Cairns TD is mentioned from about paragraph 32 on. After all the men. www.rte.ie/news/2024/11... @socdems.bsky.social @hollycairns.ie #GE2024

Gisèle Pelicot is amazingly courageous and deserves to be Woman of the Year.

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

Echo chamber my arse. When I go to the pub for a quiet drink I sit with a couple of good friends and we have a nice chat. I don't feel the need to take a couple of racist twats to have them call me a cunt all evening for a bit of balance. Twitter can get fucked.

Why did he not do so when in government? They have had over a year to do so. Colour me sceptical! #NoBillNoVote

Bring an adjudged rapist or accused of sexual assault does not necessarily ruin a man’s career! #patrirachalnorms

Micheal says FF lead on climate change... 'but we have to bring people with us'... so let's all delay together then... #GE24 #LateDebate

Here’s the funny thing I’ve experience being here a while. I’ve noticed when I mention the ‘g’ work (g-e-n-o-c-i-d-e), some folks block me or put me on malicious blocklists as a silencing tactic. Their bio often says BLM or trans rights or human rights or peace or whatever. Funny that. 😂🤡

Amsterdam's mayor was one of those who described events there as a 'pogrom'. She has now publicly renounced what she said, and offered regret for erasing Maccabi violence - and how the narrative whipped up anti-Muslim and anti-Arab violence. The story continues to fall apart youtu.be/4H_ozYgHpoM

Israel murdered 46 people in Gaza today.

“Neo-Nazis — their faces hidden behind red masks — roamed streets in Columbus today, carrying Nazi flags and spewing vile and racist speech against people of color and Jews,” www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/u...

As you know, Israel's access to the EU market is conditional on Israel respecting human rights. The EU is turning a blind eye. The EU wants to be a military power. It wants to be strong, says vdL. An evil strengthening.

Well this is a large amount of bullshit. Aontú, a party that exists for only one reason. To look down their noses at women & tell them what they should do with their own bodies.

Israel has just committed a horrific massacre in northern Gaza, bombing a building in Beit Lahia where more than 70 people were sheltering, killing 50 of them, with the read injured or missing.

Overwhelming evidence for crimes against humanity. www.hrw.org/report/2024/...

Before we vote, a thought. The EU ignores Israeli genocide. The EU wants to be a military force. FG, FF & GP all want to undo a law that gets in the way of our soldiers joining fully in that EU armed enterprise. A law adopted to persuade us it was OK to give the EU more power. Below-radar issue.

“We are all complicit. To different degrees, sure, but complicit all the same. For that, we should never expect forgiveness for what we have allowed to happen in Palestine.”

Aontu seeking to undo repeal - lots of anti-choicers are running in #GE24 and aren't being so open about their forced-birth ideas. Ask candidates if they're pro-choice and be sure to vote for pro-choice candidates 🙏

I don't remember The Guardian covering the ongoing illegal use of Irish airspace and Shannon airport to transport US munitions for the IDF. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...
