It’s a rough day for a wild swim at Curracloe but we still got in and had great fun! Much needed time with family and nature at a time when I am reflecting on my future and what path to take in my career. Maybe it’s restlessness or maybe I just need to move on. Either way I’ll figure my path 🤔😌

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.
This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei
If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

Perfect day for a swim at Curracloe after a hectic first week back teaching! Self care is so important as we need to look after ourselves so we can look after our students as they start their new journeys with us!

My beloved Sky is dying of cancer. My life is now mostly lying on the floor giving him kisses and cuddles while I still can. He isn’t in pain thankfully, he’s just fading away on us. We’ll help him cross the rainbow bridge. Look after your fur babies peeps, never know how long we’ll have them 😢

🙄 ah the self loathing is so obvious in this article. There probably wouldn’t be a pride if it weren’t for “leather daddies” and “dykes on bikes”. 🪭🏳️🌈🎊🏳️⚧️🎉🌈 #HappyPrideMonth
Christ. What a ridiculous headline - not surprising though, for the Daily Mail. Managed to find someone in the community who wants to support targeting us/our events.
Pride is for everyone. No one is stopping this person celebrating pride. The old ‘hijacked’ claim is so tedious.

Well now we know why he’s losing weight while seemingly healthy every other way. Our baba has cancer and he’s too old for chemotherapy 😢 so now it’s palliative care by the two daddies to keep him comfortable for now. We’ll look at helping pass over the rainbow bridge in a few weeks 🌈😭 #rainbowbridge

Great article here that boils down to this:
"What does the UK Supreme Court decision mean for Ireland?[...] nothing at all.
[T]he CJEU's decision ensures that [...] You can't circumscribe the rights of trans people to their own identity."
Worth reading to get the nuances of the argument.

New Gist: Trans rights are Data rights
An unusually long Gist on the data protection implications of the UK Supreme Court's decision to define what is the meaning of the word 'woman' in a single UK Act.

The Gist: Trans rights are Data rights
A UK court has made a decision defining genders which has put it at odds with a less noticed, more important, decision from the CJEU. This is the Gist.
