Aideen Blackwood

Was in a field in Waterford all weekend so obviously have not fully had time to contemplate my thoughts on the end of AJLT. But needless to say I am devastated. Family flowers only 💔

lewisdoylesinger Bohs jersey when

Gonna channel my inner man quizzing a woman wearing a band T-shirt and start asking everyone wearing a Bohs Fontaines jersey at ATN if they have ever been to a Bohs match

scarlet for them

which is so pathetic imagine being proud of being a lil weed

I think a lot of them very rarely go into town. I’m there nearly every day and honestly there are very few places I wouldn’t walk on my own even late at night. It’s completely overblown

god he’ll be insufferable (complimentary)

Important to remember that this kind of discourse about “women’s safety” is not about women’s dignity or access to full participation in public life, but about enforcing white women’s status as a kind of collective racial property of white men.

She has said about three words so far! Think next week will be her moment in the sun

Took me 7 whole minutes there to do a basic job I’ve been putting off for 5 months. Will I learn anything from this? No

I’d say the mental health of his family who he was no doubt torturing for years was far worse than his ever was, but we’ll never get into that

He was just a normal man, and it is very ordinary. And it’s hard for most people to accept that normal men can do this, but normal men do this all the time. And until we get to accepting that, it will never change

Obviously you need reporting restrictions when there will be a trial, and I understand people’s need to find a reason to explain away something so horrifying. But the explanation is actually fairly clear, and it’s always the same in these cases

Have found the coverage of these horrific murders interesting.
While he was still alive there was none of the apologist explanations which could fool you into thinking something has changed since the Hawe murders. But really it was to avoid prejudicing a trial, because it appeared as soon as he died

I think she was like this (long) before 2018 but I think it was easy enough not to realise it if you aren’t incredibly online

Ibiza take 2

Have the first 40th of my long time core group of gals today. It’s scheduled from 4.30-6.30pm. We went to Ibiza for her 30th. Life comes at you fast

Being a first-time TD: 'The hours are mad, if I finish at 9.30pm it feels like a half day' Over the coming weeks The Journal will be chatting to new TDs about their experience of Dáil Éireann so far.

At 32 years of age, the Limerick City TD is one of the youngest representatives in the Dáil.

He talks us through the highs and lows, adjusting to hotel living and how he sometimes feels like he's talking to a brick wall.

Yeah I don’t want to get my hopes up but surely it has to be better without Aidan dragging the whole thing down. The Valley finale was decent, but much like with AJLT and Aidan I look forward to Jax no longer dragging that down

hahah what a brand for me

With Eoin Hayes life as an independent nearly up. What does Planatir the company he worked for do again that caused all the hassle ?

TSwift needle drops are kind of distracting but I still immensely enjoyed both that I watched this week (Bigger than the Whole Sky in Too Much and How Did It End? in AJLT)

absolutely insane that Carrie didn’t call Aidan out since it was actually *him* who recently cheated on her, but whatever for the first time in this entire show I am willing to give them grace and believe this was because she is truly over his shit #ajlt

Cheering at the telly watching #AJLT like my fave team just won some big championship. We are finally FREE

Uncanny

A lot going on here obviously but need to discuss how Jax’s bad botox and filler has him looking like he is in Buffy vamp face make-up #thevalley
