We import 84% of our fruit and veg. We can't live on meat and dairy alone. I'm fully in favour of better supports for Irish farmers and giving everything needed to help them to transition to actually putting food on our tables in a meaningful way, but we need to stop greenwashing our current system
Cannot help but feel agrieved at this tbh, the govt refused to give people with disabilities a €400 emergency payment, even prior to attacks on Iran, where disabled persons groups outlined disabled ppl were choosing between heating and eating. #Spéirgorm #speirgorm
Spot on! Although given FF/FG’s inaction so far, I’m doubtful their response will hit the marks you mention.
Do you mind if I share these on my Instagram story?
Ya know the job-hunting stress is bad when instead of scrolling on TikTok at night, you’re updating your Indeed profile… someone please save me by hiring me 🙏
Being forced to listen to Newstalk waiting for a dr appointment. They’re talking about the new rental changes, and ngl lads I’m feeling nauseous listening to this. My partner and I need to move, but fuck it’s so grim out there and it’s gonna get higher.
I’m so tired of being a renter
I want all writers to be into writing as much like themselves as possible. I hate to see someone say writing's so good they wish they'd written it. You couldn't have, you're you, & they're them. That's the spirit of plagiarism behind AI. Believe in your capacity to create beauty unique to you.
It’s what they AND you deserve!
Oh no Emma this made me go check out their page, fall down a rabbit hole and I want to adopt them alllllllll!
When we talk about people murdered by ICE, we shouldn't forget Keith Porter, a black man who was shot by ICE on new years eve
So sorry for you too! I’ve been there longish so hoping that I can get a decent severance (and hopefully get a job soon!), hope you do too!
Sending solidarity! Because, same 😭
I’m conducting a 30 year experiment to see what happens if you never get a good night’s sleep
First weekend where my old desk is clear and ready to become the craft desk. Which means one thing: I get to break out the sewing machine I was given three Christmases (life’s been chaos leave me alone) and begin learning how to sew for the first time!!! I’m so damn exited!
There may so be an ulterior motive of trying to get Amsterdam tickets, but’s just an added bonus
Found out recently I’m gonna be made redundant (Irish law means I’ve a month of consultation before I can officially leave)s so I had to preorder the tomato-red vinyl for #KissAllTheTimeDiscoOccassionally especially after hearing what a vibe #Aperture is.
Aperture is exactly what pop music needs right now. I’m so excited for this album! #HarryStyles
He absolutely would! It’s so messed up! Have the exact same thought process as you. It’s very sad that is the case, but ya gotta protect yourself overall.
Caleb Herron spoke about exactly this - that there are waaaay more people in the closet than some would imagine. It’s incredibly fucked up that this is the case. At the same
time, I do think it’s also messed up when people think they’re entitled to know a celeb’s sexuality.
My partner and I were talking about about how Lee Pace doesn’t get the roles/hype he should because he gay, and how his career dipped after he was outted. We went on to talk about other celebs this happened with and then about celebs we think aren’t straight but in the closet. Only a few days later
Bandcamp has banned AI music 🎧

Ah yes, of course the right are mad about this because Jesus was notoriously born dry
On a similar note, Canva has gone to shit. They’ve put SO much behind the paywall that it’s almost useless.
Illustration of a man sitting on the floor with a laptop, a pile of oversized dollar coins are beside him. There is a lady standing holding an oversized phone. Both people have exaggerated bodies while having tiny heads.
Just fyi if you ever catch me willingly using Corporate Memphis style illustrations for anything know that I’ve been replaced by an imposter.
Exciting news!! ❤️ once upon a time I wouldn’t have cared much about getting married, but then I met @eilymay.bsky.social 🥹
Did Musk forget his affinity for the “Roman salute”?
Awwwh my loooove!! It’s not “putting up with”! I love all your rants and look forward to a lifetime of them! ❤️❤️
So @frankiegolucky.bsky.social and I have deep dived on a lot of crunchy grifters. But the Free Birth Society might be the most horrific.
Honestly, I'm surprised Saldaya and Norris-Clarke aren't in jail (although Norris-Clarke has "fled" to Nicaragua to escape the Canadian nanny state, so...)
Went to Moulin Rouge in the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre tonight and it was fantastic. Something curious I noticed was the addition to the pre show announcement telling the audience not to sing along. Kinda mad to me that that’s even needed.
Why is Black Friday now 12-13 days?? Did the stores get the date wrong thinking it was yesterday rather than next week, and then had to switch it up and make it work out some how?
