Totally agree that people in the north should be able to vote in Irish presidential elections. But the article says nothing about non-resident citizen voting practices in *other countries* which would highlight just how unusual Ireland is. Most countries offer some voting rights to emigrants.

As news comes out that Greta Thunberg and hundreds of other flotilla members are being tortured in Israeli 'prisons'.

Do you stand with Greta Thunberg?

Spread the message Free Greta Thunberg if you do.

Sad to hear of Manchán Magan's passing. This time last year we were witnessing my father's decline. An old hippie found hope in Magan's books and documentaries, his creative approach to environmental justice and living a good life.

Made a visit to V&A East. A depot full of designed things open to the public. A strange absence of narrative but maybe that’s the point. Think I’ll book in next time to see some objects up close.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life.

And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

I just mean that when I’m using file sharing apps such as Dropbox, Google docs etc. for writing projects I’m not feeling that a brave new world is just around the corner. They’re as awkward as they’ve always been.
