The leader seems to be reporting they've adjourned til 1:30.

The number of 2024 and 2025 Teslas I see driving around Limerick is crazy.

Just won a PPI/Participatory Health Research award for my research poster at the @hri-ul.bsky.social HRI event in @unioflimerick! 🎉
It’s all about tangible tech + autism acceptance. Big thanks to Dr. Katie Crowley & Dr. Jon Salsberg for their support!

We're just 3,775 signatures away from Ireland becoming the third country in the EU to reach its threshold!

To be successful, a European citizens' initiative has to reach one million statements of support as well as minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries.

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
