Have yourselves a #painting. "Bunmahon" comes out of a time I was cycling along the Copper Coast in County Waterford after painting a picture of a wall in somebody's garden. Then a pair of boats in the mouth of the River Mahon entranced me. Good times. #SpeirGorm #FebruArty #ArtYear

Ten years ago nobody in their right mind gave a single crap where trans people went to the toilet and the only reason anyone does now is because they were radicalised by Facebook and a handful of insane newspaper columnists and that’s just embarrassing all round

two points on EHRC advice on trans people's use of public toilets:

1) trans people are being required to out themselves when using loo in public

2) how is it enforceable? What about cis people who don't conform to stereotypical appearance?

it's shit.

"Professional failures"
"Operational misunderstanding"

Hell of a euphemism for heinous war crimes. How seriously would the west take Russia if they came out with this?

It's very easy to not use AI image generators. Less than zero effort required. There's no reason to help normalise it at all.

Here's something that takes seconds and could have actual positive outcomes.

There is an official 'citizen's petition' system in the EU. There's one open at the moment to ban conversion therapy for LGBT+ people in the EU.

I once rang Hotel Doolin to ask them if I could use their loos for a group of just arrived Syrian families who were on a day trip across Clare and when we arrived they had muffins & hot chocolates ready for all the children and teas and coffees and scones for the adults ready in their barn.
The same company/family run Hotel Doolin and The Armada in Clare, they are the absolute real deal never missing a chance to support their communities whatever way they can: this from them this morning-
