YOU KNOW THE RULE

I mean.... children are taught to speak English without "bothering about grammar" 🤔 It depends on the age of the kids and how much exposure to the language they can get. A 3yo doesn't need a grammar lesson. A 13yo probably does.

Plural possessive pronouns take an úrú if possible

Ár ndeirfiúr (our)
Bhur ndeirfiúr (your pl.)
A ndeirfiúr (their)

It depends on the pronoun. My (mo), your (do) or a (his) it takes the séimhiú. A (her) it doesn't.
Mo dheirfiúr
Do dheirfiúr
A dheirfiúr
A deirfiúr

To summarize:

-They stopped almost all USAID work

-Then they conceded that some programs actually saved lives & granted waivers for those

-Then they promised a “careful” 90 day review of everything

-Then they cancelled 90% anyway within just weeks, including many they had just deemed life-saving

Ok, Ireland is at 89.99% of the threshold it has to reach for this #EU petition to support banning #LGBTQ conversion therapy.

Only a few hundred to go! #Spéirgorm

This is where the "overhead is bad" narrative can lead 👇

I rarely have a bad interaction with someone in the gym but when I do, it's always a Some Random Man.

A conversation I had to have in the gym today while unloading my bar post-deadlifts:

Some random man: Do you need help with that?
Me: No it's fine.
SRM: Here, I can help you.
Me: No thanks.
SRM: I can just -
Me: No.
SRM: I'm just trying to help!
Me: You didn't listen to me so I have to be rude.

Feeling lucky my parents have long been too paranoid for social media! Prescient of them.

octavia butler was simply smart. well read, understood history, made connections, had common sense. but what made her brilliant was the fact that she documented her insights about the world she observed around her through storytelling..

It’s not just that Meta wants to free its users to be bigots on their platforms, it’s that Meta wants to be bigoted in their business practices.

Additional tip: be ready to tackle constipation ASAP. Do not "wait and see" past 24h. They really retain that shit... IYKWIM.

I can't imagine being a woman or LGBT person working at Meta and then hearing that the company now thinks it's ok for people to call you subhuman, but won't be allowing criticism of that. Actually insane.

DoH failing to set up a new system - instead of using an existing one that works - and also not communicating clearly with community healthcare providers... flashbacks 🙃

When we see narratives that blame the most vulnerable people for problems caused by the most powerful, I think it’s important to remember that this viral spread of misinfo is a more pervasive version of what the powerful have always done to defend themselves, with tech they steered in this direction

Hi 👋 recommendations for starter packs on women's health, pregnancy complications, perinatal mental health, medical research? 🙏

Cannot wait for the day my fridge locks me out because I can no longer afford the subscription service or stops working because it’s aged out of the manufacturer supporting the software.

‘Ironic’: climate-driven sea level rise will overwhelm major oil ports, study shows Ports including in Saudi Arabia and the US projected to be seriously damaged by a metre of sea level rise

“Latest science shows 1 metre of sea level rise now inevitable within a century or so & could come as early as 2070”. How on earth do political leaders read this stuff & reconcile it with their continued failure to act? ‘Cognitive dissonance’ doesn’t come close ….

This certainly tracks with our experience. American librarians and booksellers are scared.
