A group suggestion from Facebook: OWLs (Older, Wiser Lesbians). The group's logo is a cute rainbow-shaded cartoon owl, with a mug of coffee in the foreground.

Trying to launder obvious antisemitic nonsense through Palestinian solidarity rhetoric, and then crashing out when you get called out for it? Eyup Lovely would be proud of you; that's a pretty stupid prize, though.

This is how it goes: in order to persecute a small group, everyone has to carry ID and answer personal questions from private sector employees with no responsibility to keep your information private.
And trans men are caught in a catch 22 where they can't use either bathroom.

An ad for a housing estate that inexplicably shows a man leaning over an Irish Model(tm) who is sprawled "sexily" all over a kitchen worktop. The caption reads "Something's cooking @ Belmayne"
The ads for Belmayne: not, as you might think, some kind of louche VIP sex club, but a housing estate beside the big Tesco on the Malahide Road.

Hi there, I'm a professor in a film, and depending on the genre, I'll either be the tweedy love interest, an arrogant prick who gets cathartically blown up in the second act, or the bit-part guy who somehow knows exactly what kind of demon is trying to chew your balls off.
