Hey, cishet white able-bodied Irish people, we need more of you to turn up to this kind of anti-racism counter-protest! It was a decent turnout today, but the number of attendees who are themselves members of marginalised communities was disproportionately high.
A photo from a counter-protest in Dublin's O'Connell Street in support of refugees and other immigrants to Ireland. The backs of several people's heads are visible. In the centre, a white person holds up a handmade sign that reads 'Ar scath a cheile, a mhaireann na daoine.' Another sign is partially visible. The word 'racism' is legible. At the bottom in small print are the words 'united against racism.'

Today I recognise and celebrate all the amazing trans people who continue to exist despite everything. We are valid and we deserve to live happy and fulfilling lives without fear.
Text in large black sans-serif all caps reads TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY. The background is the trans pride flag.

Apparently my child is sick of people forgetting to fill the Brita
Photograph of a Brita water filtration pitcher with three inches of water at the bottom. On the front is a yellow sticky note on which has been drawn a droopy cartoon Brita pitcher with sad eyes, dragging itself across the floor. Text on the note reads, 'Don't leave me parched!! Rehydrate me please!'

I feel like it may be a bit counter to the exercise if my fave made me desperately sad... But it's (bizarrely, imo) categorised as a comedy, so 🤷‍♂️
A poster for the Irish film Adam & Paul. The 2 main characters are standing on a flat green surface with a blue background. Two roughly-drawn white clouds are partially visible on the left. Paul is wearing a dark tracksuit top and bottoms, and white runners. He has his hands in his pockets and is looking to the left. Above his head is a grey cartoon cloud with a bolt of lightning pointing at his head. There is rain falling from the cloud, only onto Paul. Adam is standing to the right. He is wearing a red tracksuit top, dark jeans, and black boots. He is looking to the right and his arms are crossed. Above his head is a cartoon speech bubble with assorted punctuation marks, the way expletives are often depicted in comics. At the bottom, the title of the film in rough block white letters: ADAM & PAUL. Below in smaller lettering are the names of the actors: Mark O'Halloran, Tom Murphy.

Image shows a toilet in a large public restroom stall. There are hand rails beside and behind the toilet. Protruding from the toilet bowl is a leg in a light skin tone, presumably from a mannequin. The leg is bent seductively at the knee, with the toes fully pointed.

Wouldn't be Christmas on our tree without a ridiculous topper
Image shows the very top of a Christmas tree. A few coloured lights and ornaments are visible. The tree topper is a paper cutout of Bella and Edward from the Twilight series, in the moment where he says the iconic line 'hold on tight, spider monkey'

The quality on this pic isn't great, sorry. I took it originally to have a laugh with my kids about how Malachy Steenson learned his lesson after the last election and has hung his posters outside 'graffiti Hitler mustache' range this time
Two election posters attached to a light pole. The top poster's text reads 'Vote Malachy Steenson independent' and 'malachy.ie.' The candidate is a white man with white hair and a beard, wearing a grey suit with a light blue shirt and a blue tie. The colour scheme for the poster is blue and white. The bottom poster's text reads 'social democrats vote #1 Gary Gannon.' The candidate is a white man with reddish hair and beard. He is wearing a dark suit with a white shirt. The colour scheme for the poster is purple and white.
