Queer MCs welcome.

* Irish feminist
* Irish fantasy /sci-fi
I'm searching for the lovechild of Terry Pratchett and Octavia Butler. I love "Nnedi" Okorafor and Ursula LeGuin. I loved "Prophet Song," but I need +uplifting+ now. ♥️

Ok, friends. What are some TV shows we can watch that will help us be "more Irish?" LOL.. But we watched "Money list" (game show with Baz A) yesterday and it was lots of Irish questions- great fun... And "Traitors Ireland" was great, too. Of course we'll watch the toy show this year. What else?

Yeah. This actually sounds good now.
BRO. THAT’S THE BOOK. THAT’S LITERALLY THE BOOK. WHAT THE FUCK.
Apparently Guillermo Del Toro has ruined Frankenstein by… being relatively faithful to the source material.

Just tried "Juicy marbles" vegan "filet" tonight with some teriyaki and sesame seeds, and dang... It's good. The texture is nice, and the flavour was mild. No weird seasoning that made me wonder what it was (it's just soy and beet juice). Yummy.

Why supporting indie Irish bookshops matters in the age of Amazon
The message was stark but indisputable. "Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon.ie, both online and in the high street," said Kenny's bookshop on Instagram.

it's gloriously sunny and hot outside: Good hot. Maybe 23°C / 75°F . It's indoors that's kinda stuffy, because there's no air con. But I'll take it. So nice in contrast to Maryland's 90° days with high humidity and dictatorship....

NEW: It’s 5 p.m. ET, and DOJ is officially late on its first daily court-mandated report on the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

But! Abrego Garcia's attorneys have just asked Judge Xinis to order the govt to take these specific steps to return him: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![A. Facilitation of Abrego Garcia's Return
The Court should order the Government to take the following specific steps—in addition to whatever other steps are within its power—to '"facilitate' Abrego Garcia's release from custody
in El Salvador," Noem, 604 U.S. _
→ 2025 WL 1077101, at *1, and return to the United States:
Request that its agents and contractors release Abrego Garcia from custody in El
Salvador pursuant to the contract or arrangement providing for his detention there
at the Government's direction. See ECF No. 31 at 11-12 ("the record reflects that Defendants have 'outsource[d] part of the [United States'] prison system" and "just as in any other contract facility, Defendants can and do maintain the power to secure and transport their detainees, Abrego Garcia included").
Dispatch personnel to accompany Abrego Garcia upon his release from CECOT to
ensure his safe passage to the aircraft that will return him to the United States.
Provide air transportation for Abrego Garcia to return to Maryland, because he may not be in current possession of sufficient identification to board a commercial flight.
Grant Abrego Garcia parole pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality Act
Section 212(d)(5), 8 USC § 1182(d)(5), and prepare all paperwork and forms required to allow him to reenter the United States.
B.
Expedited Discovery
Plaintiffs request that the Court order the following expedited discovery:
The Government should be ordered to immediately produce contemporaneously
prepared documents, in such form as they existed at the time of Abrego Garcia's removal, sufficient to reflect the terms of any agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding the Government's use of CECOT to house U.S. deportees.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qrllvid7s54k4hnwtqxwetrf/bafkreigurxct4ymfhlb6ahhoqjmmhac2bojn5dmuttqzsastc6bua6ihku@jpeg)

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.
