David Draiman, lead singer of Disturbed, is scheduled to play Dublin’s 3Arena on Oct 22.
He has publicly supported the IOF and was photographed signing missiles used in attacks on Gaza.
This is not who Ireland is. #CancelDisturbedDublin

Every father dreams of giving his children safety —
but for me, safety means a roof that won’t disappear tomorrow. 🏠💔

We’re short on this month’s rent — $500 needed before the 15th —and without it, my children will have nowhere to sleep in peace.

Your kindness can be our shelter this month. 🙏❤️

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

One area where you absolutely gotta hand it to the Brits is in naming prisons.

Strangeways
Wormwood Scrubs
Wakefield
Thorn Cross

Proper hard names. Irish prisons sound like bottled water brands.
