it's clear now that republican trolls are squatting here. i know it's tempting to engage, but i cannot stress enough that blocking is the only way to preserve this community. block and move on. block and move on. block and move on.

If you are in Oklahoma or know others that are with school age children, please pass this along to them. Defense of Democracy created opt-out forms for Ryan Walter’s forced bible instruction. Let’s keep getting in good trouble!

It's time. Every Xmas I run a charity appeal to raise funds for worthwhile causes. So far, in six years, we've made almost €230,000. You are always the most generous of givers.

This year our two benefiting charities will be the DSPCA and UNICEF Ireland's Gaza and Lebanon Appeal.

OK, so this should be BlueSky’s Tom Holland Umbrella video.

RT it when you see it.

As I watched it (with a huge grin on my face) all I could think was just how lucky we are to have gay and queer people in the world.

Good on everyone involved in this explosion of life affirming joy.
