Where are the Irish, Swedish and other Western governments whose citizens were kidnapped in international waters and illegally transported to Israel? Where are the statements condemning their kidnapping and treatment, and demanding their immediate release?

So everyone who has hung off Trump like a bad smell. I'm flabbergasted!

If it wasn't for that damn handbag I would have happily let her tell me how I have too many rights, and maybe a few less would be ideal. Sadly my whole life has been dedicated to stepping over poor people to ogle at the shiny rich people.
She needs some water thrown at her to see what happens.

"It was the kind of thing that's exciting to watch if you were, at some point in your life, cursed by a witch to pay close attention to electoral politics for the rest of your life." 😂

Being disabled is a minority group you can join at any time.

Everyone believes they will be the exception. That it won’t happen to them, or when it does they will “try harder” than us

The truth is most people will become disabled.

Health is both fragile & temporary.

Engage in disability justice

Brave! Random man frothing at mouth to police your hidden disability A very brave abled man has made it his personal mission to protect public facilities from anyone who doesn’t look disabled enough, sources have claimed.  Robert Noot, 64, a self-proclaimed champion…

I use the clarins hand and nail cream. I react to nearly everything so was surprised when I received as gift tried it. Very subtly scented (generally avoid scent for above reason and sensory issues). Absorbs quickly and isn't sticky tbtg. Is a bit ££ though so maybe try travel size or sample first.

It's like the Groundhog day, waking everyday to see what absolute madness/nonsense came out of their mouths while we were sleeping. I agree, total fuckery.

Ah seriously though our mums were popping panadol like they were smarties, jasus!!. They are trying to get rid of us all by melting our brains.
I think if the brain worm was running the show we would be living in a more intelligent world.

A red and white pill bottle with "Autism - Rapid Release gels - 24 gelcaps" written on it.

Well done to whoever created this pic for the 'rapid release' autism tablets, parodying the Tylenol claims of a well known leader. I'll be topping up with an extra one, just to be sure that I've had the right daily autism dose. Needed the smile.

*This is not medical advice. Always read the label.

Dutch late night TV has its take

He's a gobshite who years ago advocated for people to be allowed drink and drive if they lived in the countryside. People in Ireland see him for the ridiculous man that he is,. apart for the people in his local area that keep voting him in, we side eye the lot of them.
He's brain rot incarnate.

Check of they have a cooling off period, you may still be able to cancel.

This 100%

'Dragon's Den has a lot to answer for': Dublin City council bewildered by presidency pitches It wasn’t the Conor McGregor show in Dublin City Hall today, but it was hectic all the same.

The Seinfeld finale but for the last decade of Ireland

The minimum the Irish government could do is support the legal monitoring ship that is sailing in an observation capacity. Ideally they’d send a representative of Govt, but failing that they must coordinate and offer public support to @lnbdublin.bsky.social who is already onboard.

Don't worry it's an equal opportunities attack. The 'Irish Irish' are not let off the hook. A fantastic video on the nuances of being an Irish person today and it's perception; on how that is shaped and has been shaped. It's all messy, we know it's messy and Neilly describes the mess perfectly.

..They also use this descriptor too as a shield for themselves to avoid culpability; the sure how would I know better defence, I'm only an innocent autistic person who has no ability to live socially in this world. It's self othering and needs to be called out for the bs that it is.

Do remember though when you use autistic as one of the prominent descriptors of these awful men you are also falling into a eugenics trap: Autistic = Evil unfeeling person with no empathy. This re-enforces a lot of anti autism sentiments out there right now and I don't think that was you intention..

It’s telling that the only thing most people are interested in knowing about autism is what causes it & how to avoid it. How are #autistic people supposed to live in a world that sees us this way? As a “risk” to avoid rather than as fellow humans & community members?

I'm sure they would just say 'but that's diddley-eye Ireland' it would never be 'Our' lives in our modern country.
They may be shocked most young Irish women would be horrified if they were consider for a second to be a tradwife and would chose singledom over that path. They know what it leads to.

Fascinating documentary on the RTE player on this competition. A celebration of deleting yourself, bending to your husband's will and having too many kids. Wasn't long enough ago either.
From tradwives to tradwifes in waiting, the Rose of Tralee.

Whole thread worthy of a read.

Too often, autistic needs are treated like mere preferences

We keep getting told that they’re:
- annoying
- weird
- inconvenient
- unimportant

And then we start downplaying them ourselves too because of shame and fear of rejection

We shrink ourselves, we mask

And we lose ourselves 💔

Browne: it will be 'difficult to prevent' hitting point where 5,000 children are homeless Browne also confirmed that EU citizens who are classed as homeless in Ireland will be asked to return “back to their own country” if they do not meet requirements.

Ireland now has over 5000 children living through homelessness. A month ago, the Housing Minister said he was powerless to stop this.

Can you imagine being a child stuck living in a hotel, telling yourself it won't be for much longer, then seeing the man with the power to stop it talking like this

#Autism

This 100%, I say this often. To all those saying and would you pay the licence fee, No! While Britian has all the world possessions in it museums and is unwilling to return them, No! A country that became rich off the back of others still looking for payment for iPlayer, can't side eye you enough.

You’re not immune from disability.

You’re not immune from chronic illness.

You’re not immune from homelessness.

People always believe they’ll be the exception.

That the bad thing won’t happen to them.

That we aren’t trying hard enough.

It’s not true. It can happen to anyone.

If you’re a US LGBTQ person who has an Irish parent/grandparent & thinking about applying for a passport
