So the Telegraph is taking this well

They don't give a flying fuck about women. Their party never has

My disabled aunt was left on a trolley in Mayo University Hospital for nearly 48 hours this week.

#UHL, #MUH, imagine working in those conditions, under that pressure?

Imagine being a patient?

Not healthcare. Not good enough.

How do women stay sane?

How do we get up and go about our days, knowing this is how we are treated?

How do we not lose our fucking minds with rage, fear, fury, horror?

Every day, every newspaper.

Knowing even institutions like @ucddublin.bsky.social facilitate abuse without consequence?

And the worst part? The lowlife scumbag who raped her and circulated a photo of her bruised, naked body is still studying medicine in @ucdmedicine.bsky.social and will one day become a doctor, with unfettered access to vulnerable people.

Misogyny rules.

Rape, groping, and ‘revenge porn’: Sexual disclosures by UCD students The 2018-2019 student welfare officer recorded 363 allegations of harassment and assault

They have re-traumatised her several times, offered her no support, and now they're going after her for hundreds of thousands in costs?

@ucddublin.bsky.social @ucdmedicine.bsky.social

If they were trying to protect their reputation, they didn't have one to begin with, as this article shows.

Jesus, I've only just read about what @ucddublin.bsky.social and @ucdmedicine.bsky.social have done to a student who was raped by a fellow student, and who had the images circulated.

I feel physically sick.

🔵 Texas Democrats are holding strong in early voting: 1,018,125 vs Republicans 872,006.

That’s a 146k ballot lead and a sign of a Democratic edge heading into the final stretch. #TexasPolitics #EarlyVoting #DemocratsLead

Cool and How many of them have spouses who have rented out properties?

@jenniferbray.bsky.social Congrats on your launch Jennifer! Can't wait to read it 🙌

Then I had to start cooking 😫

In today's episode of "I can't be let out unsupervised" I accidentally ordered five meals from Hello Fresh on Monday (I thought I'd only been perusing the menu but I got a text from DPD at 7am today that suggested otherwise). Anyway I think I like it. Less food waste, but more packaging waste?

Replying to bump for the daytime crowd

Ciara Reilly: Power shift behind SNA U-turn exposes Government's weakness The Government’s climbdown on SNA allocations reveals fragile leadership, weak reform planning, and deep mistrust in special education policy

This is *outstanding*

Facebook post by Donegal Cancer Flights & Services (written in both Irish and English) Tá siad ag teacht! On our way to meet the Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien TD. In 2025 alone: nearly 1,000 medical flights were booked and paid for by our community, chan le rogha, ach le riachtanas. Over the last PSO contract: 3,100+ medical flights booked and paid for by Donegal Cancer Flights & Services. Not by the airline. Not by the State. By ordinary Donegal people and our many friends further afield. Íochta ag muintir Dhún na nGall, agus ár gcairde i ngar agus i gcéin. That’s €125,000+ paid directly to Emerald Airlines. Os cionn €125,000 íoctha go díreach le Emerald Airlines. This is not politics. This is access to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, consultations, survival. Restore the midday flight. Base the aircraft overnight in Donegal. Guarantee same-day medical travel.

Seo seirbhís fíor-thábhachtach. Cosain í. This route is a lifeline. And lifelines must be protected.

Protect our lifeline. We need our flights to Dublin to remain unchanged. We have no train service, we only have bus or car. Would you like to take a 4-5 hour bus jurney after chemo or an operation?

Nothing wrong with it 😉 You don't have to share your popcorn, for starters 😆

Apparently we made a few appearances alright! Still a bit shook after how that played out 👀

We made several appearances, apparently 🤦‍♀️ I'm not surprised in one way by Kobe... but still shook by the brilliance. Was there ever a more sensational debut? 😮

Booked myself a nice little solo date to go see Wuthering Heights over the weekend. A solo cinema trip is one of life's greatest little joys 🍿

This cracked me up. I was always so delighted to get injured so I could avoid running. "Oh, I'm injured" always felt more "serious athlete" than saying I just couldn't be fucked running for 90 minutes in the rain on a dark Monday night 😆

Spends her life being trotted out on these shows bleating about how the government isn't all that bad really. At least she finally got the hint and won't be running in the by-election.

I dont know how the Hoxton hotel saw this playing out but I'm guessing that the fact that it is now being called The Poxton is sub optimal for them.
If you are in Dublin with an 'ox' sound in your name, poxification should be on your Risk List in every meeting.

🗣️ "There has never been more home building taking place in this country than there is right now." – Fianna Fáil Senator Mary Fitzpatrick

🗣️ "That’s actually factually incorrect." – Social Democrats TD and Housing Spokesperson Rory Hearne

#TonightVMTV #HousingDebate

Team Rory, lest there be any doubt

Rory Hearne's face every time Mary Fitzpatrick speaks to try and convince us the government is serious about supporting cultural spaces in Dublin on @tonightvmtv.bsky.social is a *picture*.

So incredibly frustrating and short-sighted. Cheaper is not always better.

One of my fav things about this event is that tees are available from size XS to size 3XL, because it's an event for everyone no matter your size, fitness or pace.

Just a great day out making memories and maybe doing a bit of fundraising too.

Alt text: Promotional poster for the Mayo.ie Western People Women’s Mini Marathon. The background is a teal-to-blue gradient with scattered dots. On the left, white text reads: “Mayo.ie Western People Women’s Mini Marathon.” Below, event details state: “Sunday 3rd May 2026, Ballina | Co. Mayo | 12 Noon.” A white silhouette of a woman running appears near the text. On the right, a brightly coloured women’s athletic T-shirt is displayed, featuring a pink collar and sleeves and a gradient pattern of pink, yellow, and green dots. The front of the shirt is branded with “Mayo.ie” and “Mayo Day Mini Marathon 2026.” Beside it is a matching eco medal with a navy ribbon reading “Mayo Day Mini Marathon 2026.” A circular badge near the top says “T-shirt for first 1900 registered.” Additional text on the left reads: “Earlybird entry €25* – Entry includes T-shirt and eco medal.” Logos for Western People, Mayo.ie, and Mayo Sports Partnership appear along the bottom. At the very bottom, white text says: “Register at westofirelandwomensminimarathon.com,” followed by small print noting earlybird availability until April 6th, €30 thereafter, and optional postage up to April 22nd.

The big one (biggest outside Dublin obvs) is back in #Ballina this year and this is a beaut of a tee is it not? 🌈

Registration opens tomorrow at noon at www.westofirelandwomensminimarathon.com for the measly sum of €25

Gis a share, g'wan ♥️
