Wait you’re telling me that Brussels Sprouts LITERALLY tasted awful when I was a kid and I didn’t just magically start liking them as an adult?????

Oh goody, just what Connolly, Pearse, Carney, O’Farrell, Grenan and the others would have wanted for Irish men and Irish women - more shops and offices. #speirgorm

Bluesky you deserve some fireflies in a cornfield. Not pictured-the young hawk chased away by robins, the enormous kale after the rain, the smell of the tomato plant leaves.

Literally begging you to post about Just Some Stuff. We will see the news I absolutely promise. Twenty people will repost the same exact thing about the news. Only you can post about a turtle you saw
i don't mean to come off as rude but we cannot sustain ourselves on outrage and anger forever. i think it's even more important now to post about other things too. even if it gets less engagement. you never know who will find it cool and interesting.
It’s a real mindfuck when most ppl wanna post about their latest failures/successes, or weird shit they saw in the wild or cool stuff they made…but the country is a cesspool so cool/weird shit seems trite.

Mid & East Antrim will hold their first ever Pride parade this year in Ballymena on 28 June.

M&EA are going to need a lot of us to show up for reasons that should be obvious given what's happening in the town atm.

Numerous counter-protests have already been registered.

This is what Pride is about

A wonderful and heartfelt tribute written by her heartbroken partner Tina.

Excellent thread.
I am so over the "Western binary". I am so over how people consistently, ignorantly, and frankly embarrassingly insist that the "gender binary" is so particularly Western and colonial and recent.

It's a complete failure to juxtapose rhetoric on gender with how it actually, materially operates.
