Simon Harris thinks there's too many immigrants, does that include the kids of the Lisdoonvarna Crew? The kids in direct provision? Cos he was content to use their song without permission. #speirgorm

Where are the riots when white Irish men attack?
Riotous reaction to Citywest allegations were rooted in racism. If your reaction to that is denial — ask yourself where the rioters were after Alanna Quinn Idris was attacked?

what’s so funny about this is the idea that any of Connolly’s supporters would think “you know what, bank repossessions are bad! I guess I’ll vote for FINE GAEL now”
Fine Gael tripling down with a slight pivot.
Trying to say it’s about “non-disclosure” of her former work rather than her doing it.

Man it is just so weird how attempts to police the boundaries of womanhood end up hurting women. Over and over again.
Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman."
This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women."
RIP Marie. share.google/PFaI5YTh9tBw...

The Basic Income for the Arts Scheme is €325 a week, similar to what they gave out during the pandemic. This is how much they've deemed one needs in order to live in Ireland. So why is disability benefit only €244? Why are disabled and sick people expected to live so far below the poverty line?

The new tariffs are going to hit artists particularly hard if it means losing customers in the US, so I'd ask Irish people to please consider buying local, from Irish makers, where at all possible. Support that means little to a huge business makes a massive difference to small creators. We need ye.
ℹ️ Information from An Post relevant to Irish artists selling to the US - still no clarity elsewhere about what the charges will be, time will tell.
