I love Trans people.
They were here before any of us were born, and will be here long after they're gone.
Transphobes are dopes who would ally with quite literally anyone, provided they hate trans people. They are thick enough to not see the path they are walking down.
Fuck them all.

infuriating thing about Northern Ireland "political commentators" is they told all of us "ceasefire babies" how impractical and unworkable it is to refuse to engage with psychopaths and sectarians
10 years later they are doing the same, lamenting that we all aren't as smart as them.

As always, remember that there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to oppose the preservation and promotion of the Irish language that isn't rooted in sectarianism.
Not a single one. They just hate you, and they laugh when people fall for their "concerns."
All signs in NI should be bilingual.

Bit weird how pushback against ill-informed or biased views is seen as more of an issue than aggressively right-wing agitators feeling vindicated and emboldened. Bit strange that so many people seem more comfortable with creeping fascism than with being asked to be decent about vulnerable groups.

Sexual violence was "normalised" long before the rapist McGregor turned up.
Any politician who has shaken Trumps hand took part in the "normalisation".
He's a self-confessed sexual predator and adjudicated rapist, yet people have sat with him 1/

We're supposed to be outraged that an Israeli War Criminal was hounded out of a restaurant in Dublin.
Another several hundred dead Palestinians, courtesy of Israeli benevolence.

Going to try collect as many Irish cigarette cards as I can.
If they brought these back they'd nearly make me start smoking again.

Broken record here but this book by Kevin Learns is tremendous.
It's also a little bit heartbreaking; an eruption of colour and passion and optimism in an era generally associated with hopeless, dire, endless misery of the Church's rigid social order.

It's a sign of the times that callousness is now dressed up as intellectualism. That empathy is framed as being as morally problematic as prejudice. That bigotry and hatred is just honesty. That solidarity is treason.
