Hi everyone! I'm currently looking for participants for interviews for my PhD research. I'm working on the history of the LGBT+ community in rural Ireland, the way being in rural Ireland impacted the community and how the community impacted rural Ireland, 1970-2000.

Is Britain aware that Ireland is no longer part of Britain? Like, are the people actually aware that British veterans' day is not Irish veterans' day, and even if it was, it's someone's choice whether or not to wear the poppy - a British symbol of remembrance

Catholic correspondent for the Irish Times, Breda O'Brien has a headline today about Catherine O'Connolly's 'vibes-based politics' which is bad apparently if you're a socialist, but not if your vibes tell you a piece of bread is literally God's flesh.

Was Michael D not presidential to the 60% who stayed home in 2018? Maybe run better fucking candidates rather than accusing her supporters of "vibes politics" when she was against non-Irish speaking, right of centre and was pro-coursing and said that trans woman were not women but trans women?
Breda O'Brien: The vibes-based politics that elected Catherine Connolly are ultimately empty
Can she be president for voters who stayed at home as well as those who came out to vote in protest?

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.
Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”
This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

For the sake of my own peace of mind:
Stop considering John Boyne for historical awards. He's not a historian. He's a (relatively conservative) fiction writer with an interest in history who occasionally writes decent historical fiction. Stop considering him as more than an author.
