Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

GaeltachtnaMí.ie run Irish classes throughout the year, some online. Get in contact with Ursula there. I managed to teach them from home with a 6 & 3 year old, wasn't sure I'd manage but with the support people around me it worked. It's hard but once a wk for 10 wks I called in support for an hour

I also LOVE a bit of representation for people learning Irish to such fluency as adults because so many people imagine that it's too late for them, they missed their chance, or it'll only ever be the cúpla focal they master and nothing more.

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Apartheid Israel has extended its illegal incarceration, without charge or trial, of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya. This heroic doctor was kidnapped while providing medical care and has been subjected to beatings, starvation and abuse in Israel’s torture dungeons.
He must be released immediately #FreeThemAll

Grasshoppers evolved into their present form around 250 million years ago.

That was the period after the worst mass extinction event this planet has yet seen: the End-Permian 'Great Dying', and when the supercontinent Pangaea began to break apart.

In comparison, we humans arrived only yesterday.

Woman, 80s, dies three years after Dublin attack A woman in her 80s who was attacked in south Dublin just over three years ago has passed away.

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman."

This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women."

RIP Marie. share.google/PFaI5YTh9tBw...

In prison, Israeli guards told him again and again that Israeli soldiers had killed his entire family – a form of psychological torture, he said, meant to break him. But when he walked up the stairs of his Gaza home today, his wife rushed into his arms, his children and parents beside her – alive, waiting, and all of them delirious with relief and joy.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Nothing takes me out of the escapism of watching TV or film like the sight of character holding a coffee cup or other vessel for liquid that's very obviously empty. Once you start to notice, you'll never not notice. Surely they could put water in there or something? #TV #coffee #film #movie

Sally Rooney won the Sky Arts award for literature for Intermezzo. Her editor collected it for her as she couldn't travel in case of arrest for her support for Palestine Action.
