There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to places a few ticks here: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

Ireland had its first Dyke March in Dublin on June 26, 1998. (I was in charge of security for the march, which had been attacked by the gutter press.) The Second Dublin Dyke March takes place this Friday evening - 27 years later! I hope to see some of you there!

These baby animals are looking for forever homes before Christmas. Fully house trained, very quiet. They're soft and sturdy, able to stand up to gnawing, throwing, and chewing. In fact, they're perfect pets for very young children!

Booksellers! What do you do with leftover bookmarks from old campaigns? Creative responses will, I'm sure, get many likes and shares. (To be fair, we still give out the beautiful #IndieBookshopWeek bookmarks. Because EVERY week is Independent Bookshop Week.)

Precisely this - in Cork they started with the book-burning, the rest is only a matter of time
Stand aside and let racist, fascist agitators burn homeless migrant tents and they will eventually and inevitably burn the city.

Not one fascist faced consequences for shutting down libraries, disrupting the housing of refugees, or burning refugees’ tents and possessions.
Authorities essentially held a “folks with reasonable concerns” line. Watch them do a 180 now that Arnotts has been looted
