As much as the mindless defiance from Sinn Féin would be funny for a few minutes, that interaction shows that Michelle O'Neill has the kind of diplomatic skill that a party who aspires to actually running Ireland needs. It's yet another reason for Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil to be worried for the next general election.

Whoever was running the Twitter account decided that they were off to follow every TERF on Twitter. Someone noticed it and sent an email to the council while kicking up a fuss on Twitter. The council deactivated the library account and is "investigating" things. TERFs are outraged. JK Rowling has encouraged a pileon of Councillor Karen Power and she's had to lock her account. Hazel Chu is getting accused of racism and homophobia by random Brits, all of whom think the various UK cases that TERFs lost somehow set legal precedent for Ireland, while being in denial about the losses, and are screeching about defamation cases. It's pretty much the platonic ideal of :magical: Twitter.

yeah afaik the question as it appears on the census and employment and school applications and the like refers to your "community background", not your beliefs, and if you answer neither community background they just look up what school you went to and choose a background for you lol

The thing is that for all their cries of being the silent majority and also being wildly outnumbered, they're one of the few little hatemobs that actually realise that they are, in fact, wildly outnumbered. For all that "the other side" is also pretty small, the vast majority of randos see TERF posting and quickly realise that they're just repackaging fascist ideas, often with help from actual fascists.

Nah, there's a strong cohort of very "Man in the Pub" getting angry about language being invented and "A MAN IS A MAN ACCORDING TO BIOLOGY!" that strangely never happen to pop up when I'm in the pub, rather there's a much stronger cohort of, "Who gives a gently caress?" and "Would ye be bothered?"

I was walking by in a luminous skeleton hoodie with a big cutoff jacket that has a very large "TÁ!" badge, so hopefully. Hopefully I give off those vibes near constantly

I will say no, only because that would be way too small a toilet. My mates brother did one of these van conversions and the bed took pretty much all the space. So you're relying on the kindness of neighbours, a plastic bag.

I was assuming the hole just goes through the bottom of the van and it's parked over a drain.

Bonanza budget. A lot of handing out money. Very little being targeted towards new initiatives from a government scale. It seems like they're putting the money in people's hands while letting the hospitals, transport, infrastructure, including civil service infrastructure, etc. make do on what was allocated to them in the past.

It really is a load of bollox, they aren't even trying to fix the problems just kick the cans down the road a little bit more. I'm raging we have to deal with these cunts for three more loving years.
