" The Fae are terrific. They beget terror."
Since the fae are kind of trending at the moment, a tip:
If you wouldn't be happy to find a wild ape in your garden, you probably wouldn't like to find one of the fae folk either.
(Copy/edit/reposted after all, because I spotted a bunch of bullshit autocorrects)

We need to get rid of the 12 week limit to abortion access for many reasons. But forcing a teenage asylum seeker who is having mental health problems, possibly due to being pregnant, to go to court to access care is abhorrent

I’ve concluded that men (and some women) think pedophiles prey on small children and that men grooming and raping teenagers aren’t pedophiles. They think these teenage girls are consenting to this activity or are actually to blame for it. I hate this reasoning, but find no other answer.

For non-Irish: The show premise is that Tommy Tiernan (the dad on Derry Girls) doesn’t know who his guest is until they appear.
The chat with Ireland’s outgoing president, Michael D Higgins, is beautiful.
I made the kid watch it to study how Irish people can dance across registers.

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose.
Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵

This is brilliant. We need this here too, we need Irish leftie losers #speirgorm
I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

Regarding the rightward turn FG & FF are taking on all kinds of immigration, here's a piece I wrote Nov 2019 on far-right rhetoric entering mainstream Irish politics.
"This is a pattern: extreme rhetoric is heard, listened to and begins to seep into mainstream politics until it becomes part of it."
