As someone with a developmental disability Diagnosed as an adult Failing to properly support disabled kids is cruel. It is traumatizing. It is dehumanizing. We have a responsibility to all these children, our leaders owe dignity to these children We are failing them

These do not seem like significant cost centres in the context of the provision of all services. If the HSE wanted to take really effective, long term cost saving action, they would hugely increase expenditure on maternity unit staffing and training to prevent avoidable catastrophic birth injuries.

Harris has never reacted with “fury” to the deliberate dereliction that blights this country as property is hoarded and put beyond use as part of the speculation game. It’s clear the arts is being used as an easy lightning rod for public frustration with this rotten FFG junta. Don’t fall for it

The attorney general told government that replacing the Occupied Territories Bill rather than amending it would be a "political choice" and not a legally necessary one. He also said there's 'a stronger and more defensible legal basis' for the bill. www.ontheditch.com/attorney-gen...

TDs shouldn't be landlords and this shouldn't be an even remotely controversial thing to say. So many simple solutions for the housing crisis that get shouted down as very controversial. "People should be able to afford their rent" "Lol check out this economically incoherent rube over here"

I just think that having people live in sheds in their ma's back garden is not the same as providing homes, no matter how much you reduce the building standards and regulations for sheds

Rory Hearne of @social-democrats.bsky.social expressed concern that "exemptions could be used by bad landlords to "squeeze more renters into unsuitable conditions". He's absolutely right. It's also going to be viewed by some as a way to become landlords more affordably.

Gatekeeping does NOT benefit detrans people. Our paper on gatekeeping and detransition is now out! I’m immensely hyped for this paper, written in collaboration with wondrous scholars and including co-authors who have lived experience with detransition. Official link: doi.org/10.1080/1553...

This spineless action leaves 70% of Ireland's trade with entities in the illegally occupied territories intact, including financial services. Trading with these entities buttresses the existing occupation, encourages settler violence and aids in the final full annexation of the OT. It's blood money.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

Just staring at how big this number is. The housing crisis reminds me of an Andy Daly sketch where he outlines a problem, someone offers a perfect solution, and he dismissively says "look I'm not gonna lie there's about 100 solutions to this problem"

If anyone claims that the current anti-trans panic was caused in any part by trans people advocating for our human rights, that person is lying through their teeth. The religious right lost on marriage equality, and immediately started going after trans people instead. That's what happened.

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/#...

So disheartening to see people saying this is a done deal, like we’re naive or foolish to ask for better. Write to the eejits. Use your voice. Make them squirm if they insist on going. Don’t just shrug, for the love of all that’s sane.

When climate scientists warn repeatedly: "Ireland is not ready for what's happening and worse is coming" they mean we don't have robust resilience, infrastructure, fail-safes, protocols, workflows etc for extreme heat, rain, storms, cold etc. They're right. We're not.
