some Halloween tips:
don’t turn away older kids. let them have fun for as long as they can
don’t turn away kids without costumes. You have no idea what their situation is
if you view halloween as a chore, just shut your door and lights instead of being grumpy at kids

The assumption that being LGBTQ+ is about having sex is pernicious and pervasive. But it's not.
I've been married to my wife for 28 years. I see no reason to detail the number of "flings" of any variety I had before we started dating, but it's definitely not a high number.
I'm still bi.

I knew a lot of ‘bisexuals’ in the 90s that had one fling and that was it.

Article 8 of the ECHR is the protection on which not only all positive trans law rests but also most LGB rights to, as well as those of families where one parent wasn't born in the UK. It prevents asylum seeking families from being split.
It is utterly monstrous for Labour to want to weaken rights.

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.
