Thousands marched in Dublin yesteday for #InternationalWomensDay and in other cities too, but it doesn’t seem to have got a mention on mainstream media?

My feelings summed about International Women's Day. It is always one I feel not very included in. Despite working in a gendered industry dominated by women.

Give me my fucking hour back. I need it

World Rewilding Day with Kerri ni Dochartaigh and Eoghan Daltun. | CELT Join us for an evening of Conversation, community and creativity.

I can't wait to celebrate World Rewilding Day 2026 with the wonderful Kerri ní Dochartaigh at the Slieve Aughty Centre, Co. Galway, on Friday the 20th.

We'll be talking the Great Forest of Aughty, and rewilding's potential to return some of the nature we've lost.

Winston Churchill quite literally asked the Americans to overthrow the very popular socialist Iranian government in 1953 because Churchill wanted the UK to keep extracting Iran’s oil wealth without paying for it.

Please do be a bit more historically aware.

Every so often I remember the Irish immigration system is so dysfunctional that the Brazilian community here had to set up a WhatsApp group to help find each other after the DoJ kept returning their passports to the wrong people #speirghorm

Wealth hoarding erodes empathy to the point that these people are functionally antisocial

Pixar’s Pete Docter Says Queer ‘Elio’ Storyline Was Axed Because “We’re Making A Movie, Not Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars Of Therapy” Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter explained the animation company's decision to ax a queer storyline in last year's Elio.

Am I surprised that a man who was able to thrive at a company where women weren't allowed in the same room as the boss, because he'd grope them, appears to have no ethical backbone? Not even a little.

The Battle for Ungdomshuset 12 years ago, the Danish police stormed the historic social center Ungdomshuset in one of the biggest military operations in Danish history—and lost.

Tomorrow is March 8, International Women's Day.

In 1910, Clara Zetkin proposed this event at an international women’s conference at Folkets Hus, headquarters of the Danish labor movement.

That building later became the historic autonomous social center Ungdomshuset.

A newspaper headline from over a century ago, reading: WOMEN ANARCHISTS HAVE BECOME THE TERROR OF WORLDS POLICE Their Daring Crimes Are Said to Have Out- stripped the Deeds of Brothers of the Red Search for the Woman is Becoming a Safe Rule in Crimes Proceeding From Anarchistic Violence—The Guardians of the World Nearly Always Finda Woman Implicated When a Ruler is Stricken Down—Emotional Women Lose Sense of Fear.

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

Exclusive: Iranian girls killed by ‘double-tap’ strikes on Minab school Eyewitnesses describe second blast which killed survivors as they sheltered in prayer hall

The girls’ school in Iran, where 165 people were killed by an apparent US-Israeli attack, was hit with two strikes, with the second missile killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a slain child have told Middle East Eye.

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

Every trans person is like "I knew something was up before I had the words to describe it and had to fight for this for years" and every transphobe is like "one conversation with a doctor could have convinced me to get the walrus surgery from the movie 'The Walrus'"

All of us are in danger as long as the empire stands As people across the U.S. left react to attacks on Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba, canned rhetoric and sectarianism remain the priority

Factions of the US left should learn from failures. Instead, many are preoccupied with being an authority on other people's global struggles while neglecting to beat back empire at home. I wrote about changing this cycle or facing destruction for @prismreports.org.

This is a really good example of how O'Brien, and many Ministers these days tbh, operate - give the appearance of a man of action by making demands of everyone else while refusing to address your own contribution to the problem

I know why, but it’s still mad how a NATO member like Spain can refuse US military aircraft like this while neutral Ireland always allows it, spanning everything from the Iraq War to present.

Media Matters analyzed a year of NYT coverage of anti-trans bills and found that 66% of the time the paper didn't quote a trans person. Further, it found that the paper often quoted right wing sources without mentioning their histories of anti-trans rhetoric.
So "right-wing rag" is pretty accurate.

The story format of holiday makers briefly stranded near the outbreak of war or some catastrophe made sense in a pre smart phone age. They were a witness adding human context for a home audience. In a news context where we've all watched videos of missiles dropping on civilians it's beyond tone deaf

Spineless and shameless.

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest.

In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

shockingly people are capable of simultaneously,

1. Hating their government

2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

Veneration of the military is a cultic practice used to insulate the state from the banal reality that the primary purpose of the army is murdering brown people and smashing leftist political movements.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

Nope. We don't have to do this. The courageous act would be to refuse. Jingoist slop like this is an enormous factor in why the US has been terrorizing the world for decades. There are no heroes bombing Iran.

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

something v encouraging to see lately is how clear eyed people have become about assigning fault to institutions rather than individuals. BAFTA/BBC tried to throw that poor man under the bus by seating him where they did and airing what they did but no one’s buying it

obama bombed libya without congressional approval also

don't any of you amoral cheerleaders have memories at least

Call me a raving radical but I literally do not care whether your imperialist massacre of children is “constitutional” or not.
