I gather Niall McConnell has thoughts about Bród na Gaeltachta but, as you might expect, it was just as ABSOLUTELY EPIC as everything else he dislikes! Bhí, tá, beidh, go deo, Aerach, áiteach, gaelach, beo!💖🇮🇪🏳️‍🌈🇮🇪💖🏳️‍🌈🇮🇪🏳️‍🌈💖

Transphobes don't give a damn about fairness to girls & women. They're anti-feminists who literally believe men are just naturally better at... everything.

Stella O'Malley QTing an Irish Independent story about trans Irish dancers being free to compete in the category matching their gender identity: "This is horribly unfair to girls. Boys have a different physiology which means they will beat the girls.

I spent some time with Mammy Kamikaze last night & she was looking mighty fine!

My Mam (who is 90) looking great - nice hairdo, blue butterfly earrings coordinating well with blue top, blue eyeshadow, sparkling blue eyes!

As one of the placards at the 1983 Fairview Park March stated succinctly, "THE POLICE ARN'T (sic) ON YOUR SIDE EITHER." It's (long past) time we went back to our roots.

A picture of the lead banner & placards at the Fairview Park March in 1983, after the release of the murderers of Declan Flynn. The banner says "STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST GAYS & WOMEN." The placards say "THE POLICE ARN'T ON YOUR SIDE EITHER" & "GET YOUR FILTHY LAWS OFF MY BODY."

Another AI boo-boo on the RTE site, this time in a major news story - "signalled out" for "singled out." Comments on immigration 'not careful or polished' - Ahern share.google/M3EZv2C6m73f...

The former Fianna Fáil leader signalled out people arriving from "the Congo" as well as "the next generation of Muslims" in a doorstep conversation while out canvassing with Fianna Fáil Dublin Central bye-election candidate John Stephens.

But also, remember that time the so-called Irish Mirror told us pine martens were birds? Red squirrel making comeback in Ireland thanks to pine martens - Irish Mirror share.google/haYq1kIV05U4...

The native birds feast on grey squirrels – which carry a disease fatal to their more familiar red cousins.

"Time marks" should read "pine martens," which is completely obvious in context. Looks like RTE Kids content is transcribed by AI, edited by AI & published, without ever passing before a human eye. This is supposed to be educational content (& what it's teaching is kids is "ah fuck it, it'll do.")

"They're very good at surviving in parks and where red squirrels aren't so happy. And so, in Belfast and In Dublin in particular, we've got very, very dense grey squirrel populations, and that's a place that time marks just aren't going to get into. They're not going to get into urban areas. It's not a case of the grey squirrels just disappearing altogether. But in the countryside, across most of the middle of Ireland, we've seen a huge reversal of fortunes."

Inside this neat package are my 2 beautiful books & a modest amount of advertising- two fliers (both interesting) & a bookmark. 👍

1. Book: Comics Journal 2022 on Community Organising & activism.
2. Book: The City - woodcuts by Frans Masereel
3. Flier: How to order Ruffian Meat, a new, Irish, horror comic.
4. Flier: Dublin Comic Arts Festival, Sunday 12th July at Bohs.
5. Bookmark advertising little deer comics.

I should have taken a picture before I opened it, because it was very neat & beautiful & now it looks a mess - but you can see that all the packaging is plain paper. Around here, that gets burnt in the range. You could compost it, if you prefer. Either way, no waste disposal problem! 👍

Inside the envelope, the books are wrapped in clean white newsprint. It's a bit torn & grubby now, but when it arrived it was pristine.

Izzy Kamikaze@izzykamikaze· May 13

I appreciate very much the absence of plastic packaging. Also, whoever addressed the envelope has beautiful handwriting & I like that too!

The front of the envelope (which is made of brown card) bears my name & address in very elegant handwriting.

A lot better than DeValera did, no doubt.

Gotta love Michael D!

Age is the enemy now. Exactly two years ago, he had a stroke, and he admits his balance is off kilter since. After being rushed to hospital by ambulance, he was disappointed the medic performing a neurological assessment did not ask the standard question: "Who is the president of Ireland?" The humour persists.

TIL that 32 years (since completion) is "four decades" (of occupation) according to RTE?

The council said the cost of retrofitting its current civic offices to meet its climate commitments could cost up to €400m and that it is in talks to
relocate to the site of the former DIT Kevin Street.

It is almost 50 years since major protests took place in the capital against plans by Dublin City Council to build new civic offices on a Viking settlement discovered on Wood Quay.

The campaign of opposition was ultimately unsuccessful and the project was completed in
1994.

Now, after just four decades using the site as its headquarters, Dublin City Council said it wants to
leave Wood Quay because upgrading
the offices to meet climate targets could cost up to €400m.

New Christmas lights in Carlow town. My sister has christened them "the Christmas Coronaviruses."

Strings of 3 large spheres composed of multicoloured LEDs, strung across Dublin Street in Carlow.

Not really clear what's going on, but it doesn't have the appearance of a site where work is nearing completion...

Workers clambering over piles of rubble, as a massive amount of water flows down the street towards Parnell Square.

Izzy Kamikaze@izzykamikaze· Dec 6

Work has been ongoing since early morning but appears not to be going according to plan. Multiple trucks & machines on site. Large volume of water flowing downhill towards Parnell Square.

2m x 2m hole cut in the road, with water spurting from multiple holes in pipes.

"Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink..." A large part of Dublin's north inner city is without water tonight as work continues on major leaks at the junction of Dorset St & North Frederick St. Two traffic lanes closed from Dorset St to Gardiner Row.

Large volume of water bursting out of a hydrant on Dorset St.

This BBC report is deranged! Even apart from confusing pronoun & surname (& misattributing that confusion to the judge) they completely misrepresent the judgement which stated that Burke was suspended for gross misconduct & *not* for his regressive views on gender. Is BBC in contempt of court?

Mr Burke was initially suspended from the school in 2022 for refusing to call a transgender pupil by the surname 'they', and "the manner in which he conducted his objection to transgenderism," towards the principle, according to the judgement.

This reminds me that I have been blocked on Twitter by a government department, the Department of Social Protection, for more than 5 years & have no idea why!

It's bad enough that the far right & organised crime have so much overlap as to be practically indistinguishable, but much, much worse if the State is putting vulnerable people into the care of criminal gangs - & paying them shedloads of taxpayer money for their "services."

Deputy Joanna Byrne in the Dáil: "The Government has paid millions of euro for asylum seeker accommodation to a company owned by a man who has been linked by the Criminal Assets Bureau to the Drogheda gang feud."

We've had trying to burn children in their beds. We've had shitting on ballot papers. Today, in expressions of "reasonable concerns," we have cutting the leg off a living, suffering creature, a pig.

Via Irish Times:
Former IT worker jailed for role in Thornton Hall pig stabbings.

Man sentenced for animal cruelty linked to protests against asylum seeker housing.

Former IT worker Darren Jackson has been jailed for animal cruelty.

Izzy Kamikaze@izzykamikaze· Nov 2

Never forget that people who pose as "protectors" of women & children have been emboldened *by government & media* right up to the point where they try to burn women & children in their beds.
