I will be on RTE's The Business tomorrow morning to discuss my work on the gender pay gap. Show starts at ten and I expect to be the first guest on. Per usual, they'll have folks ringing in to say I'm talking nonsense, so if you're listening, please consider dropping them a message to say I'm not :D

When tributes roll in for Margaretta D'Arcy, remember she was an incredible ally to sex workers. Rest in Peace Margaretta
Last night, we attended the Women's 24-hour Vigil outside the Dáil. We joined Galway legend Margaretta D'Arcy, Raging Grannies, Red Umbrella Éireann, Street Workers Collective of Ireland, and Global Women's Strike.

Ireland needs to invest in care, not in military spending!

Rest in Power Margaretta D'Arcy, fierce, fearless artist and anti-war activist. She was a strong advocate for Palestinians, an early signatory to our Irish Artists' Pledge to Boycott Israel and a tireless campaigner against the US military use of Shannon Airport and efforts to erode our neutrality.

Limerick @ipsc.bsky.social out in solidarity with Palestine yesterday. Apartheid Israel continues to murder people in Gaza and the West Bank, continues to starve and deny the basics for life to people. And our government continues to stall on the Occupied Territories Bill. #FreePalestine

1. Family reunification is ALREADY limited to "close family"

2. Forcing people to avoid claiming benefits they are entitled to and need under threat of being refused citizenship is horrifically cruel. That was the policy under Michael McDowell and it caused great hardship to the most vulnerable.
New: major overhaul of immigration laws to see citizenship denied to those who got welfare, or are in debt. Family reunification only for close family, tighter rules around self sufficiency. Changes to revoke residency for those who commit serious crimes

It is 2025 and this is brand new.

Just in case you're wondering why women are still big mad about everything all the time. It is 2025 and we are just now thinking "should we check if cars are safe for women"

Cis men are committing violent acts every day, but the GC lot want to focus their attention on what folk look like if they need to pee?
This will result in the policing of the appearance of all women & make toilets hostile spaces.
It is regressive, ridiculous &does nothing to improve anyones safety.
Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

An anti-abortion protester has shot someone outside of a South Carolina Planned Parenthood.

My source says one person was injured and taken to the hospital—and that the protester was arrested.

More soon.
