Overheard a client’s TikTok feed and it was filled to the brim with the usual far right Irish patriot guff masquerading as fuel protest concern.
And it got me thinking we both have major distrust of the government, but for vastly different reasons
If all terms are agreed to, then great. But what happens when the next war happens? Hell the current one isn’t even over. Not to mention oil reserves literally depleting in the next 40+ years. I’m just…I’m just so tired of nothing changing and nothing being done.
I don’t have a solution beyond dissolving FF and FG and actually investing in our future. This is their mess, their circus, their legacy. Dumping the carbon tax will still do nothing to offset increasing carbon emissions. Not that carbon tax helps much in the first place…
Zero discussion on the future, zero plan. Same thing recently with the water charges. The other myopic issue is the ignoring of the wider situation. There will be more wars, more supply blocks, more scarcity. And again, zero actionable plan…
My biggest issue with fuel protests is just how myopic it all feels. It’s a stopgap action against a stopgap policy. The Irish government loves short term half measures. They’ve been at it since inception. Instead of tackling long term issues with long term solutions. They stick a tax on it…
I used to wonder if moving back home to Ireland from Australia was a bad idea
Used to…
Can’t tell if my phone is trying to sell me pain relief or viagra
This Fulnecky 600 word “essay” debacle is actually so much worse when you read through it
But tbh this Christian grift is amazing. She’s going to be on so many talk shows getting $$$ for literally nothing. This woman is an entrepreneur!

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

I honestly can’t tell if Trump has done all this work to deliberately make himself a cult leader or if the people were just hungry for a new messiah/patsy to fawn over and Trump just got lucky
Also not to hyperbolise but how does Trump not fit every definition of their anti christ?
I wish I had the Karen confidence to yell at dog walkers who just let their dogs take steaming dumps on the street
Glan suas é motherfucker
Worst case scenario has remaining Gazans forcefully removed and Trump gets his beachside golf course
Best case? Continuation of the what they had?
I have so many questions and there are zero answers
What about the West Bank? Settlers are still illegally taking land
What about reparations? This has been fully supported by the US and Europe. Will people be happy footing the bill to rebuilt the lives their governments helped destroy?
So like, what’s the actual plan?
Let’s pretend the hostages are released and Hamas fully disbands. What’s next?
Gaza is in ruins. Who rebuilds? Who counts the dead? Who funds the life long care for countless dismembered children? Do the apartheid walls stay up?
Are the survivors welcome back?
The shambolic Nordic model is not working. While politicians like Ivana Bacik pat themselves on their back for working with religious orgs like Ruhama and Sisters of “Mercy”, the initiatives actively supporting sex workers remain unfunded and forgotten by the state. Shame shame shame
why isnt Ceechynaa playing Glastonbury, thats what I want to know
Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.
However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Diva down :(

I know we love importing American drama but this is ridiculous. Rainbow capitalism and faggotry is dead. Penny’s just has 1 pillar with some brollies and a Lady Gaga tshirt. Nearby pound shop = zilch
I have a double income household with no kids. Don’t you want my very disposable rainbow €€€s?!?
A lil blem in the morning
A huge thank you to all the new follows after editorialising a quote live on air
Meanwhile the new follows…
Even discounting trans men and NB folk, in Eng/Wales alone 5% of pregnancies are from under18s. I assume Martine and her new Christian friends think those children are women too?
The little boy who cried ceasefire violation
Israel is doing the exact same tactics they used with Hamas and Gaza. It’s always on their terms, rules to break when ever they want, all backed by the US and Europe
The ALP is so fucking lost. They’re almost as bad as Starmers UK Labour. How is any of this within the Labour mandate?
I was going to quip that only states propped up by the US have a right to exist and defend themselves, but I realised the US has had so many fingers in so many coups over the decades it’s very difficult keeping track who is playing the stooge for whom
So, I’ve been stalking these cats..
Pride Month?
Honey, it’s motherfucking Pride SEASON
