Something I've often thought about. The push to go paperless for 'green' credentials, yet we don't count our digital footprints, from our email usage to the cat memes pile up in our Whats App folder

I could never understand how people could survive WW1 and the deadly flu pandemic, and then be back into another war, WW2, within living memory. Didn't they learn the first time? Now here we are again, within living memory.

What a strange article. 🤔 I doubt Derrynane residents, or anyone along the Wild Atlantic Way, human and wildlife agree with this, despite what Failte Ireland and Trinity College scientists say.

Fellow Europeans, it's time to move away from using American technology and software. Using European and open source alternatives makes us more sovereign and safe, and reduces the influence of Trump-supporting technology oligarchy. Here's a good guide for finding European alternatives.

I would love to see Paddy's Day turn into a deeper celebration of migrants and migration. We bring our rich Irish culture to other countries through our migration, so let's make this a shout out to migrants in every country. Sure Patrick himself, our patron saint, was an immigrant. Makes sense ☘️

Heres my latest #IKEAHack! You too can get this designer look blank with just $300 of kit from IKEA! I was quoted $1000 for a built in blank, but instead I simply bought IKEA blänk, used €600 power tools, €200 paint, $900 worth of free labour, all made in my spare garage the size of your house

This. We had the whole tradwife vibe here for ages, even putting ‘wayward’ women away. No contraception, no reproductive rights. Didn’t work. Was shit. Back away from me with that apron, bitches.

Ok, Ireland is at 89.99% of the threshold it has to reach for this #EU petition to support banning #LGBTQ conversion therapy. Only a few hundred to go! #Spéirgorm

We're just 3,775 signatures away from Ireland becoming the third country in the EU to reach its threshold! To be successful, a European citizens' initiative has to reach one million statements of support as well as minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries.

Please share this. As a survivor, I can't articulate the years of shame, self doubt and suffering these practices cause. Conversion therapy is abuse, emotionally, physically, spiritually.

A lil guide for Irish folk to do something positive on your next break from work, or busride 1. Write a short polite email saying you support WPATH trans healthcare because you want bodily autonomy for trans adults & kids 2. Find all your TDs emails & Minister for Health 3.

What better way to celebrate Bridget and Imbolc, a mighty woman and the coming of Spring than a lovely community event in An Díseart, with ceol, comhrá, and of course, Crosóg Bhríde. Seeing the buds on the trees, daffodils about to flower 🌱, winter is over.

I have signed this #EU initiative to propose a ban on #LGBTQ+ conversion "therapy" which every EU citizen above the age of 16 should be able to sign. #Ireland needs maybe 5,000 more signatures to reach the threshold #Spéirghorm #Spéirgorm eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public . Sign it and share it!

Yes!! While it would be amazing for our new government to think along these lines, we know they won't say boo to the big tech bros. I'd love to see other institutions take the lead, academia, start up accelerator programmes, etc. Massive gap in the market at the mo for alt digital platforms.
