Eloquently explained....

When you put it that way....its not complicated at all. Just inconvenient to your own prejudices whatever they may be.....though racism will be pretty high up there.

I’m often at hospital (post Cancer and Long Covid etc) and it never fails to enrage/ depress me how few people wearing masks. Or on public transport/planes etc etc etc

All of this but also:
not voting is the same as voting for the worst candidate
CC may not be perfect but how many boxes do you have & how many does she check? V HH?

“Voting isn’t marriage, it’s public transport. You’re not waiting for “the one” who’s absolutely perfect: you’re getting the bus, and if there isn’t one to your destination, you don’t not travel- you take the one going closest.”

These lads are amazing and relentless; digging up and airing the nasty secrets and lies of the government. Hats off to them.

Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.

Heather Humphreys is spreading misinformation that Oireachtas political staff need so-called garda clearance – they don’t, according to documents obtained by The Ditch

Alan Shatter joined in – posting a fake document on X purporting to be official policy

Or maybe it’s just typical, when you look at how many politicians will give reference for rape accused….

Please do not vote for this awful person in the Irish election; she’s a disastrous ex-minister for biodiversity, supported an animal cruelty perp and anti-trans.🤮

Not going to share 'grift' but Heather Humphreys has just said that I'm a man and the gender recognition act should be changed. Please do not vote for or give a preference for her. Having someone as president who thinks this way would be absolutely awful for minorities #SpeirGorm

Support your independent book shop (and other shops too) over poxy Amazon.
I’d add @sheelaghnagig.bsky.social in Cloughjordan, North Tipperary, to this list. Best wee book/coffee/health food/crafts shop ever!

🎃👻David 👻🎃 @rebelalliance77.bsky.social · 7d

Some independent Irish bookshops you can support rather than Amazon. And most offer free postage in 🇮🇪too.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.

Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.

Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.
