I'm so tired I thought this said "National Horse of the Day" and was like wow that's a lot of work for whoever has to pick the horse
Today is the National Day of the Horse in the U.S. Many people love to buy young horses and enjoy their beauty and vibrance for a while, but don't feel obligated to give them a loving retirement when they get older. That's how many of our horses came to us. 🧵

Supporters of Ireland's planning system say it is wonderfully democratic. But here is a major project supported by repeated democratically-elected governments and put through a rigorous planning process (including plenty of public input) being stopped by 20 people. That's not democracy. It's chaos.

Aside from the obvious cruelty, it's so grim that we've normalised anyone spending 40% of their income on rent

One pair of numbers nicely illustrates where the Irish housing crisis actually originates.
* There were 1000 housing units awaiting planning permission due to judicial review in 2024.
* In 2024 there were more than 80,000 housing units with planning permission on which construction had not started.

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

![I am sorry, mother, because the ship sank with us and I couldn't get there.
Nor will I be able to send the money I borrowed to pay for the trip... I am sorry, divers and search teams for the missing, for I do not know the name of the sea I drowned in.
Rest assured, asylum office, I will not be a heavy burden on you.
Thank you, sea, for welcoming us without a visa or a passport... I am not sorry that I drowned. I have rested and brought relief [to others]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dctd5upwgb4vqvs42vi4wgs4/bafkreiblgnayxhbij5onur7m5uuy36bie4zyej6wdzelhkflvv2glkhggu@jpeg)
