I was one of the leaders of Scrap The Green Paper because I & my friends were suicidal after learning proposals for ~84% of disabled to be pushed into work

I've not recovered from pushing myself to fight it, nor my friends

I'm so broken & Humphreys wants a house in the park on our backs

Una Mullally: In ManchΓ‘n Magan, Ireland had a writer whose words could light up the synapses Magan was a wholly authentic force, full of awe and devoid of cynicism

Wrote about how ManchΓ‘n Magan’s writing, knowledge and ideas lit up the synapses.

My absolute favourite music of the year. Brian Mooney's Next New Low album The Unreachable.

Bright,beautiful,heartfelt, and wonderfully understated . There's a simple poignancy to the simple use of the casio keyboards and drum machines.

Israel showing its true face to the world is perhaps the real power of activism - the sheer hate from politicians like this towards those simply trying to see people feed and cared for in Gaza tells so much.
