[Photo Thread] IPSC March from Lurgan to Newry

[Photo Thread] Today's march in Belfast calling on Barclays to divest from genocide and in response to PSNI arrests for putting a sticker on a Barclays ATM.
I'm sure this person is a wonderful scientist & I hope they signpost us to all their publications that demonstrate how 'incorrect' international bodies of biomedical scientists, psychiatrists & psychologists are π.
Quite laughable that a US flag was displayed by anti-immigration protestors yesterday, given that a huge number of US citizens are of migrant heritage and ancestry.
[Photo Thread] March For Trans Rights

[Photo Thread] Yesterday's March for Trans Rights and anti-racist demo in Belfast.
A banner advertising a march for Trans Rights on the 17th May. A marcher in the foreground holds a placard reading "This Affects All Women".
This one goes in last for a specific mention as this march for trans rights on 17th May is happening on the same day as an IPSC march and yet another fash rally.
Given our executive parties have decided to be Wes Streeting's bludgeon it is of particular importance people show support for this.

Great set Brendan
*is not accessible on 1/3. Silly predictive text.
NI Prides need to do better at this. There needs to be a #DisabledPerson or someone specialising in #EDI (preferably both) on every #PrideCommittee. 3/3
Routes not advertised in advance, that don't say where inclines & declines are, aren't accessible. Not including details of accessible loos, you guessed it, isn't accessible. Yet these are the things that I've experienced as a #DisabledPerson at #LGBTQIAPride for years. 2/ 3
#Accessibility at #Pride. Where to start? Having to book a space to watch performances is not accessibility. Having accessible spaces with no chairs is not #Accessible. Having social media communications about accessibility without #ALTText or #Subtitles I'd not accessible. 1/3
Access to appropriate interventions which may include delayment of puberty to reduce #GenderDysphoria symptoms, which can have long-term harmful effects, are required & should rest on medical expertise in this field. This has been demonstrated to save lives. 3/3
#IStandWithTransKids
This is absolutely wrong, based on a fundamentally flawed review & is against the recommendations of the #BritishMedicalAssociation. Not one UK doctor is chemically castrating kids. The effects of puberty blockers are reversible on ceasement. Being #Trans is not a political issue... 2/3
Puberty blockers for young #TransPeople have been banned indefinitely in the UK with NI following suit stating a lack of evidence for their safety. Meanwhile, they've been used for over 40 years for non-Trans people with #PrecociousPuberty & other conditions & are not subject to the ban. 1/3

I hope it goes well Dermot. Hopefully you'll be able to put things right without any hassle. It's such a ridiculous system - I dread looking at any notification they send me (as a self-employed claimant, I get a lot)
Spare a thought for us #StudentSupportProviders who are also students themselves. Supporting students with disabilities &/or additional needs who are panicking about their assessment deadlines while also panicking your own about assessment deadlines isn't funtimes.
Yeah, it seems edits aren't possible after a post has been made. Worth keeping in mind for future ref.
You're a lovely person & deserve to be happy β€οΈ
You certainly look happier in yourself &, I can only talk about recently, are a joy to be around. Please don't forget to add #AltText to images so those using #Screenreaders can gauge the Sasquatchness π
Sharing to raise the profile of cross-community efforts made by a former British soldier (& #VeteransForPeaceIreland Chair) & a former IRA member determined to support #Palestine π΅πΈπ. Please consider donating. Keep it up lads!

I noticed this contradiction too. Meanwhile, bombs dropped on Southern Lebanon & Beirut ahead of so-called ceasefire talks. π€
Wouldn't know about your accent love as my phone is set to silent after a certain time. I'm sure you sound just like Liam Neeson π
I don't know if this platform allows edits once a post is up, but please consider adding #Subtitles to your videos & #AltText to images. This makes your content more #Accessible for those who need it. Thanks π
Just bought some cards. My Grandma was among one of the 1st cohorts of NHS nurses, along with her younger sister. She ran a tight ship both on the wards & at home, with 5 kids. She was an elected Councillor, passing policies for looked after kids. I bought them for her memory.
Absolutely necessary to support this boycott - no more profit to a proven rapist.
Rape Crisis Network Ireland is urging retailers to stop selling Conor McGregor's stout and whiskey products after a civil court jury found him liable for the assault of Nikita Hand.
Can we add a line or a bridge?...
