They tried to
distill the blood
with distance
like temporal, spatial alchemists
but the dark magic
lingered in our DNA...

They hung the #cross
in the orphanage
near the rosary
and the statues of Holy Mary
as they told the children
they were ungodly...

How are so many people still committed to the #CatholicChurch ⛪️ ✝️ after all the child molesting & raping by priests, decades of torturing & killing of children such as what happened at the #MagdaleneLaundries in Ireland, & the physical & sexual abuse of #Indigenous children in Canada to name a few?

Watched Small Things Like These. Great film, but horrifying to know that #MagdaleneLaundries were operating in #Ireland until 1998—a topic my colleague @ka-od.bsky.social has researched and written on extensively.

What has the state done to remember these boys? Where is their public list of the #ForgottenDead from the #Institutions?
#IndustrialSchools
#MagdaleneLaundries
#MotherabdBabyHomes
For 80 years from 1871 to 1951, St. Joseph's Industrial School in Artane, Dublin, had at least 222 deaths of boys aged 7-16 years.

Those names have not been made public up to this point. That changes now. You can view the names that Project Infant found here: projectinfant.ie/the-homes/ar...

Sharing something I've wanted to do for a while!

'The Institutions', a means for people wanting to get news about Ireland's institutions (mother and baby homes, industrial schools and Magdalene Laundries) all in one place.

I hope to...
