I know about Adverse Childhood Experiences because I’m a social worker and a lawyer. I also lived it. We must do everything we can to protect children from militarization and violence.

Far from being only about sex, these encounters highlight how queer practices disrupted territorialised space while also revealing the limits of intimacy in a troubled society.

A perfect summary of why Liam Neeson's appearance was so important, along with a short recap of the historical background. I just wish the article would have looked closer at the "Big Fella" reference - Mick would've been proud.

New book details how Irish rugby stars were caught in 1987 bomb blast that killed NI judge and his wife

The first Irish interprovincial game took place in 1875 and was between Ulster and Leinster, with Ulster being the victors. Ulster’s greatest period of success in the interprovincial tournament was in the 1980s and ’90s, when they won 10 titles in a row.

Bluesky peeps!

Hoping u 'like' my #screenplay 'KING BILLY & THE POPES!'

It's about a #punkband during #thetroubles.

There's plenty o' music & chaos AND a murder or ten! There's also love sex & passion; but most of all there's a whole lotta hope!
