When it comes to housing supply there is a big f*cking elephant in the room
Last year CSO found 65,000 homes empty for 2 yrs, using ESB data, yet for same period less than 3,000 paid the vacant homes tax
So thats around 62,000 houses waiting for someone to call them home

Landlords, who could not even be bothered to stay awake for the vote, passed a bill last night designed to make themselves wealthier.

We need to build a movement against this right wing government, made up of landlords who rule in the interests of uber-wealthy corporate landlords and vulture funds

Only 2000 signatures needed now for Ireland to pass the threshold. We're at 70%, France is at 300%!! For gawds sake.

C'mon #speirgorm we can do better than France!

Don't just share on the socials, send direct what's app, message, get the phone out at break time. โœŠ ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

No way we let Sweden get over the line on this ahead of Ireland.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Incredibly brave to speak out about her experience to show just how damaging and harmful this type of abuse can be.

A robin perches in a bush nearby. The branches are mostly bare but some bright green young leaves have started growing

The robin now sits on top of a large, upright log. There is another log beside him with a terracotta plant pot on it. Behind him is the garden shed, painted bright blue. In front is a white porcelain duck. Another terracotta pot sits behind the duck.

Now robin stands close by on the mossy patio slabs. In the distance behind him is the shed. In the foreground secateurs lie open on the ground.

โ€œBe kind, be involved, believe in your art,โ€ he said. โ€œAt a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesnโ€™t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if itโ€™s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.โ€

A black-and-white vintage photograph of pioneering Hollywood director Dorothy Arzner on a film set. She sits relaxed yet commanding in a wooden director's chair, legs crossed, wearing a dark beret, a long-sleeved dark blouse or jacket, a skirt, and heeled shoes. With a calm and confident expression, she holds a filmstrip in her hands. Looming directly behind her is a large classic Mitchell movie camera marked "358," mounted on a tall tripod. To the right, a massive ribbed studio spotlight on a stand casts strong dramatic shadows across the dimly lit soundstage, evoking the atmosphere of Golden Age cinema

Dorothy Arzner was the only female film director in Hollywood from 1927 until her retirement in 1943.

She launched the careers of Katharine Hepburn & Lucille Ball (among others). First woman to direct a sound #film. She was born #OTD in 1897.
