Because a big huge protest that is officially permitted is coming up everyone's arguing about it and my stance is always:

My plan may not look like your plan and that's fine tbh. We all just gotta figure out what we can do and do it and it's fine if it's not all the same thing.

I stumble upon remains

it may be autumn
but the warm sun still bears down
here in the red south,

where pumpkin-colored daisies
bathe in gold october light

🚨This is an emergency🚨

This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life.

tell your MP to say no to segregation. The proposed bathroom ban will deny everyone the basic right to privacy and dignity: we should all be able to use the loo without fear or discrimination. Write to your MP:

“What if something terrible has happened?” said Toad. “What if Frog has fallen into a deep hole and cannot get out. I will never see him again!”

In Toad's imagination, Frog is stuck in the bottom of a deep dark hole.

The title poem won third place the Maria Edgeworth poetry prize selected by Victoria Kennefick and is intro to the second poetic prose section, written in Sarah Moss’s class on intertextuality in UCD. It was written, partly, in response to Egg/Shell by Victoria (who is one of my favourite poets)

Hello to all lovers of poetry, poetic prose. To the romantics and the political.

I have written this book. It is my third book and my first independently published book.

It is unlike any of my other writing. It is not for the traditionally-minded. You might like it if you like the surreal.

Róisín Ní Neachtain @roisinnineachtain.com · 8d

This happened just now.

Pre-orders up!!! Deeply grateful to @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social and all my teachers at UCD and the kind writers who wrote the blurbs including @gagebybell.bsky.social and @martinadalton.bsky.social and so many others …

"The EHRC’s exclusionary interim guidance has had a devastating impact on trans people’s lives"

“Now the guidance has been withdrawn, so should the exclusionary policies that organisations rashly implemented in its aftermath. If not, they could find themselves in hot water.”

EHRC withdraws interim guidance encouraging trans exclusion

After six months of confusion and delay, the EHRC has taken down interim guidance rushed out in April. But the damage has already been done.

On the longest night of all the year

in the forests up the hill,

the little owl spoke soft and clear

to bid the night be longer still.
