On Grafton Street, for today only, lies what looks on the outside to be an ordinary flower shop.
Men and women stoppedat the storefront looking to buy a dozen roses for their Valentine.
But on the inside, it isn’t a florist’s at all jrnl.ie/6622859

I have signed this #EU initiative to propose a ban on #LGBTQ+ conversion "therapy" which every EU citizen above the age of 16 should be able to sign.
#Ireland needs maybe 5,000 more signatures to reach the threshold #Spéirghorm #Spéirgorm

Again, hate to bring the real world into this, but...
Watch American companies that *aren't* abandoning their inclusion policies in what must be the face of enormous pressure.
They're worth noting.

Accenture, a multinational company that employs thousands of people in Ireland, is ending programmes that try to support equality and diversity in its workforce in the wake of anti-inclusion policy orders issued by US President Donald Trump.

The amount of people who describe themselves as politically progressive in Ireland still posting on X is both amazing and depressing. You can google their usernames and see them. Why are they still on a fascist owned site? Especially those in Labour, SocDems and PBP? #IrishPolitics #SpeirGorm

I just want a work phone with a keyboard. They quite literally prized my old blackberry out of my hands.
If they started making Blackberry devices again, I'm in.

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks.
Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

I keep thinking about how the misrepresentation of the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit convinced Americans that it was too easy to sue corporations — a laughable idea if you think about it for 10 seconds.
It's the same with trans kids: The scandal is that care is too hard to get, not too easy.

10/n To sum up:
1. The moral panic was gibberish. Only a tiny proportion of kids have ever been diagnosed with GD, and very few of those got drugs in the UK.
2. Services in the UK were TERRIBLE before the Cass review. Less than 1/10 ELIGIBLE kids were prescribed medications!

The depressing thing for me about the hot coffee case is how many people were so keen to side with the massive corporation.
Even if all the mythology for true - that the plaintiff got millions just for getting a slightly-too-hot coffee - I'd still be somewhere between on her side and indifferent.
