Highly recommend spraying yourself with your teenage perfume in the airport and sticking on a UK garage playlist so you can ride a wave of nostalgia all the way to your gate.

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030.
That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

i am sure most people here are going to Trans Pride this weekend, but for those who haven't even considered it yet, i would urge you to go. i was assaulted while putting posters up for the event over the weekend, by two far right losers who had been covertly recording myself, my partner & my friend

Forgot my headphones which means I’m cursed to sit on public transportation listening to the viewing choices of people who also don’t have headphones but simply don’t give a shit about anyone else.

Every bit of human contact in hospital is invaluable, you spend so much time feeling isolated. I hate this.
Anyone who’s ever been in hospital will tell you the people who bring you food are always the nicest - this is stupid for so many different reasons
I see.

The government's banning of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was UNLAWFUL, rules the High Court.
This is a massive vindication for those who fought Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people - which is facilitated by our government.

As the Olympics commence I’d like to share the fact that my friend Sarah records them in full and then consumes them in totality over the following two years. She has really been cramming them in over the last few weeks to make room for Milano Cortina.

'We're seeing eviction rates not seen in Ireland since the 1850s'
The issuing of 5,000 eviction notices in three months last year is quite revealing when viewed against Ireland's historical record

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

I've written about this phenomenon in my column quite a lot and spoken about it regularly on the @louisemcsharry.bsky.social podcast and if I'm being totally honest at this point I think it's being done specifically to bait me.
Today, Paul Murphy said that the Government are afraid to stand up to big tech, and Micheál Martin replied "How dare you? Who the hell do you think you are? That is a reprehensible assertion."
You can gauge how true an accusation is by how flowery they get in the language of their rebuttal.
You find the idea that you're a top-down person "repugnant"? You're not just saying it's untrue, you're calling it out as REPUGNANT?
I'm afraid that makes it an extremely accurate accusation.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
