First they erased a ‘Protect the Dolls’ t-shirt from Strictly Come Dancing. Now they’ve erased Pride badges from University Challenge. The BBC are saying that our visibility as LGBTQ people is a political issue. Meanwhile they’ve commissioned a 2-part series on JK Rowling. Impartial? My arse!

Rudeness eh? That’s what Brenda Power thinks the ad was. Know your betters and be seen and not heard.

Interesting that this has been deleted. I’ve written today to my SF TD who I met last week (as she welcomed me to Mullingar) expressing my disbelief that a party to campaigns on Zero Tolerance against violence against women can be manipulated by the right in such a way.

The Justice Minister interfering with the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre consent campaign "because it does not represent the views of the Government" is unsettling. Interference like this risks creating a chilling effect and self-censorship within wider civil society. www.iccl.ie/news/justice...

Ronan Mullen on #Liveline re Tuam… it appears the wagons are circling

This, from the hugely experienced Irish courts reporter, Isabel Hayes, on the Minister for Justice’s performative outrage over an ad about children and consent, is worth reading.

Sally Rooney: "political classes in Europe today are co-operating and learning from US & Israeli regimes. Not only are far-right fascist parties rising to power as a result but mainstream parties are adopting fascist techniques to stop protests". #speirgorm

Where are the children’s rights orgs?

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

Consent begins at home, most abuse begins in the home from people known to us. The far right would like to make us think otherwise re strangers and the Minister for Justice seems to agree with them.

#Bluelights is fantastic (it was already but tonights episode especially!)

Who will Sinn Fein be supporting in the Seanad bye election? Is it Caitlin ni Bhroin?

How to stay in the #CelebrityTraitors: 1. Don’t tell everyone that you are a Traitor. 2. Don’t tell everyone that you want to be a Traitor.

Not a Geldof fan but that #LateLate show evoked a Gaybo special with great storytelling, f bombs and getting him up to sing without warning. Best show of the Kielty era so far.

It was June #CelebrityTraitors

We wanted to assure you that Sally Rooney's books are still available to buy and to order online!

I see the moral equivalence crew are arriving en masse in the papers and radio.

Just to say what complete scumbags the FAI and Micheál Martin are for putting Irish players in this position.

Context to Gavin Bazunu’s position: a matchday squad of 23 must be submitted to UEFA before midnight tonight, and *must* include three goalkeepers. Were he to simply refuse to play, the FAI would only be able to submit a squad if they (farcically) redesignated an outfielder as a goalkeeper.

Thank you Gavin - this is so not fair on these players to be dealing with this shit. FAI making their usual mess of things.

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Not including those in refuges, direct provision unable to find housing, hospitals and nursing homes with no homes to go to, couch surfing and the growing number precluded from applying for housing or assistance due to housing policy.

I watched the RTÉ Investigates report tonight A commendable piece of work by @ritaoreilly.bsky.social I will leave my Robocop reflections for another time 1st thing to say, is that the issues examined in the story are extraordinarily serious 2nd, I am not hugely surprised by them

Twelve children were among the 21 people killed when an apartment building collapsed due to damage sustained in earlier Israeli strikes. The six-storey building, which had four apartments per floor, crumbled overnight onto nearby homes and tents in the Tal al-Hawa area of Gaza City. jrnl.ie/7164815

The male GAA codes are built on the unseen work of women sacrificing their own free time to do the work of looking after children & elderly relatives that men who spend 3 nights training,2 nights at the gym, plus weekends at matches are consciously not doing. It thrives at the expense of women.

I’m too sad to watch news or even listen to John Creedon tonight who I’m sure did his usual brilliant job paying tribute, - tomorrow maybe. My online feeds are hard enough to swipe through.

BBC One airing Dolly Parton tributes from 10.40pm

I'm sure she got advice on her image, on how it might be better to reject her LGBTQ audience. She didn't. She knew what it was to be powerless & poor & she didn't want *anyone* to live that way. A lesson for people w aspirations to public life: Hurting others doesn't have to be part of the equation.

No need to comment- speaks for itself

Mediocre white men with gaps in their CVs, investigations and findings proven of DV, SA, harassment and bullying survive in their academic ivory towers.

I don’t think there’s ever been a clearer example of the British media bullying someone, who was so clearly vulnerable, to death so shamelessly in my lifetime for engagement and clicks And now we’ll have to watch the people that did it claim they’re shocked, and horrified Revolting
