Last week the FB algorithm fed me a post by an estate agent in a small town in Galway congratulating a couple on buying a house, and the comments were just wall to wall go back to your own country because they happened to look Asian

Never doubt the come to Brazil girlos www.theguardian.com/music/2026/o...

Update: time is now pretty good

Dunno if anyone else has noticed but it’s pretty fuckin dark outside 💔

sorry lol from the rest of Europe

Power’s out so I’m back on my bullshit (complaining about how we need to ban house alarms)

When Abuse Becomes Normal: The Price Women Pay For Speaking Up open.substack.com/pub/helenogb...

People love to pretend they care about rape, sexual assault and all forms of gender based violence but ultimately they don’t. And they prove it over and over again

Need to stop reading Instagram comments on Joe.ie but I just saw someone call people who think the DRCC ad is fine West Brits which is a new angle to be fair to them

never accept the premise of the far right's arguments that is how they win. The only misstep here was by Jim O'Callaghan in ceding to their performative outrage

Channeling my feminist rage into something useful if anyone else wants to consider doing the same www.drcc.ie/donate/

Scrolling the timeline through posts about Russell Brand, Jim O’Callaghan undermining the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, Vittorio Angelone and the ad about Amy Acton and you’d think it’s a depressing week to be a woman but that’s actually just every week

Every day I become more and more grateful that we had the repeal referendum when we did, because there is not a chance it would happen now in an Ireland where we let the culture wars of people like Peadar Toibin and Michael Collins drive government action

if Peadar Tóibín is suggesting that children need to get used to being touched without their consent, he should be asked why

not a Glee reboot haven't we suffered enough

we should put the "comedy roast" out of its misery as a format. we're good

Never trust a lefty podcast man is unfortunately a life strategy that will not really steer you wrong

I hate do you feel old because of this Facebook uncle posts but the idea that none pizza with left beef is 19 years old has unfortunately put me into a coma

Have mostly been trying to ignore America for my mental health and sanity so I’m late to this party but Abdul El-Sayed is hot

A week at the Marty Party or meeting Donald Trump in your gaff maybe Heather was the real winner after all

It’s cool that the possible destruction of life on our planet keeps coming down to 51/49 election results where one half is just like fuck everything and everyone

Have always been an unusual Irish elder millennial woman (I find Joanne McNally annoying) but she is really endearing herself to me by being the worst but most confidently wrong faithful to have ever been on Traitors

Some personal news I’ve decided to become a nun

Gonna delete the internet from my phone when the Girls reboot airs

Strongly feel I shouldn’t have to know who Shane Gillis is

“I’m not ready to go all the way back to America, why not fight to the death” Myha’la channeling Harper Stern for the roundtable which probably isn’t a bad strategy #celebritytraitors

It’s like the Sugababes 😭😭😭 #celebritytraitors

a feature not a bug

Feel like the spiders this year have all been dosing with some kind of steroid

nearly at the stage where I think it was better when we didn’t talk about the menopause at all

Feel like the French just do be constantly having elections. They are almost as bad as the Americans. Leave us alone!!!

this has happened again with Choosin Texas god damnit

Grateful to be represented by Nicola Coughlan

This is so horrendous

Sure it shouldn’t have been up to the players but I think we can also stop treating them like people with zero agency here. They’ve made a choice to go out on that pitch, and they have to own that choice

Just got charged €8 for a pint of Guinness in town. We have strayed so far from the light 🥲
