10 years ago, there was only a single 'leathceann' (windswept) birch tree in the foreground.

Now, there's a full-on exploding diverse native rainforest, none of which was planted. All it took was fencing out sheep.

Let's rewild the world 🌏

It's amazing what not having an organised anti-trans media is like. Today is the VHI women's mini marathon in Dublin. They allow trans women to compete. I went searching on X for the permanently outraged and found only 2 posts from an Irish transphobe account, one had only 30 views, the other 346

No EU Business with War Criminals Urgent action needed: Children in Gaza are being deliberately starved. Call on the EU to suspend its trade deal with Israel, stop arms exports, and sanction perpetrators of human rights crimes.

Children in Gaza are being deliberately starved. Aid is being blocked.The EU must act now: suspend the trade deal with Israel, stop arms exports, and sanction those responsible.I signed — you can too. ✍️ action.wemove.eu/petition/202...

President highlights 'forced starvation' in Gaza in speech during commemoration of the Famine President Michael D Higgins spoke at length about how Ireland suffered as a result of the Famine.

“In relation to Gaza, United Nations Secretary General António Guterres stated recently: “As aid dries up, the floodgates of horror have re-opened. […] Gaza is a killing field – and civilians are in an endless death loop”.

Affirming hormone treatment poses ‘greater risk than benefit’ for increasing numbers, says gender service consultant System ‘failing our community’, say representative groups for transgender community

The NGS will not stop in making it more and more difficult for trans people to access healthcare. Baseless claim after baseless claim on lack of evidence. That's what happens when you dismiss all the evidence you don't like!

Everyone in Ireland looking over at Keir Starmers Britain in horror, remember he’s not the first and this isn’t new. Remember what they took from us and how they did it and here it is again.
Never not at it.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

This is exactly what I experienced #Speirgorm

Britain does not dictate Irish law. Or Irish feminism Where LGBTQ+ rights are bolstered, so too are women’s rights, and where they collapse, so too does authentic feminism

Séamas O'Reilly: Trans people have spent a decade being attacked in a moral panic The poor provision of unisex children’s facilities— which reinforces gender stereotypes and inconveniences women and men both — was, incidentally, an issue I remember being quite talked-about a decade...

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail.

UK court defines 'woman'; trans women left in limbo | The Take YouTube video by Al Jazeera English

I gave an interview to Al Jazeera on the Supreme Court judgment, and the surrounding context. I think it's possibly the best thing I've ever done (?) so give it a listen.

There isn't a story on the BBC News site about today's trans rights rally at Parliament Square where it's estimated 20k attended. But they did have a story last week about the Let Women Speak transphobe rally in Bristol where 100 people attended.

Last night i spoke of the afterlives of Irish revolutionary women in the Free State-a state which defined a narrow model of what it meant to be an Irish woman. Anyone who did not live up to that model was surveilled, shamed and/or institutionalised! Narrow definitions of womanhood harm all women.

There’s a psychosexual dimension to Trump’s tariffs. You don’t have to be Freud to see it When they bought into Trump, the tech bros purchased his whole inflated persona – every whim, craze and dark fantasy

Protestants keep toasters in cupboards - Catholics love JFK = Protestants love soup = Catholic gravy is all bisto - Catholics go on holidays to Bundoran Protestants go to Newcastle - distance between their eyes, protestants can't have fun on sundays, This hilarious tribute to Derry Girls episode 'Across the Barricade' is available on a range of gifts from Melty Shirts. #irishhumour #speirgorm

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.

Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.

NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

israel is committing genocide against palestine and the foundation of the united states is being torn apart to punish the people who think this is bad.

A quote from "The Lion Women of Tehran" by Marjan Kamali that says: That's how losses of rights build. They start small. And soon, the rights are stripped in droves...First, they'll say it's required only in government offices or shops. Then schools. Eventually, we worry, we will lose the freedom of choice altogether.

If you're at the point of anti-woke moral panic that you're questioning whether NORTHERN IRELAND needs public investment in equality and inclusion initiatives, it's safe to say you're out of your fucking mind.

Fintan O'Toole: Notion of Trump as a dealmaker is a way of avoiding the monstrous truth Most European leaders seem to be genuinely astounded by Trump’s bullying, boorishness and blatant aggression. They had fooled themselves into believing what they wanted to believe
