You may feel powerless to respond to hate but you are not.
One small thing you can do, which will make a real difference, is donate to the Muslim Sisters of Éire.
I just did it, and it only takes a moment.
These incredible women show up day after day to feed unhoused people.

As reported on @virginmedianews.bsky.social at 12:30: Government fears one major retail fuel operator will have empty tanks nationwide as early as tomorrow, if ongoing blockades of fuel depots are not ended. A source said this was “unconscionable” when Ireland does not have an actual fuel shortage
Sitting there in their protest over how expensive fuel is, with the engines running on their massive expensive trucks and tractors.
Make it make sense.
@paulmurphy.pbp.ie wanted to join fuel protests, but then it descended into the usual far right talking points, showing that like immigrant protests of recent years it wasn’t about fuel or people’s livelihoods - it’s the same ol’ racist crew hopping on a bandwagon. #spiergorm
Great 🧵
We’re talking about people who are too cowardly to wear their own shoes
Looking fwd to it!
Richard Osman’s House of Games is back with one the most outrageous non-rhotic “say what you see” answers yet. I beg your pardon.

Awful news, so sorry. 💕🙏
This non parent was very affected by it 😢. Liked it a lot, but prefer the book. 👌
I largely enjoyed it, including the foreshadowing, despite the growing sentimentality. Loved the Richter!
Thank you, and back atcha!
We're great, thanks. @leograsshopper.bsky.social 🙏
Happy Christmas! 🎅
Me standing up at the fireplace.
People have asked how I’m doing since I had a stroke in Rome in April. I had four months in hospital, and I had to learn to walk again. I have a way to go, but I’m good, thank you. Happy Christmas to all!
Some of the words that have made me smile this year.
Which words have given you happiness this year? I’d love to hear them.
(And if you fancy some distraction over the holidays, do give my word game Two Words a try.

You’ll never guess how the IDF decided to talk about killing these two kids, 8 and 11 years old, in its official statement
It's deffo important to be visible but I'm really looking forward to the bigger and more important campaign aimed at getting drivers to slow down and be vigilant. Caution is required when driving and I see very little of it. People drive as if nothing unexpected will ever happen.
I'm all for road safety but you could have every cyclist in the land wearing a full suit of Christmas lights and drivers fucking around on their phones will still knock them down
Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

Lookit...I'm just sayin...just doesn't feel like a coincidence is all.
