C'mere #SpéirGorm and #SpéirGhorm, might anybody have any leads on a Dublin-based admin-y type job? Ideally with a charity or nonprofit but really anywhere that kind of makes the world a better place? #JobFairy

Keir Starmer speaking in the Houses of Parliament today cited "Britain's experience in Nortwrn Ireland" as their thing they are bringing to the table of the Palestine 'peace deal' - which let's be clear: is an acknowledgement that we have 'done an Israel' and got away with it before.

My own experience with dating sites was that when women say they want someone with a good sense of humour they mean someone who will make them laugh. When men say it they mean someone who will make them feel funny.

"giggles by you, witty one liners by me" I can no longer tell you how many times I've cracked a joke and the date has reacted with either stony silence or anger, because me being witty/funny/droll/quick off the mark is a threat to their sense of self. Sometimes they even say so to my pretty face

Hard truth: funds are running dry at EAPM.

The government is *not* going to bail us out.

We don't have rich friends in high places.

We don't know if grants will ever come from the big foundations.

We need you: the public. Help us fight back.

Folks I think there might be a fairly crucial "not" missing from the second sentence there?

I actually don't think it's unhinged but: If you're a man who considers himself well read, if you've studied literature and try to read "all the greats", but you haven't read a single Jane Austen story? Then I can't take your literary opinions seriously.

Four fucking months I spent in hospital last year and it was my bloody birthday they decided to schedule the MRI. The valium they gave me wore off before it even started so my claustrophobic ass just lay in there sobbing for nearly an hour. Horrifying. Never again.

Christine Smout, 84, caught her husband Anand, 81, sneaking glances at her across the kitchen table. She thought nothing of it at first, but when she realised he’d been ending all of his text messages with exactly three kisses, she began to wonder if he had a crush on her.

Jihad is my sweet little friend, he sends voicenotes saying "Hello Rose, I love you" 😭🥰 and I try to reply in Arabic.

Tomorrow he will be four, his dream is to eat chicken again and he wants to be a Dr so he can treat his brother Jamal's diabetes 💔

Let's help Dr. Jihad have a good birthday.

Today my ADHDemons wrote a ballad about HP Lovecraft's sex life when I should have been cooking dinner.

But soon he said "Sorry, Ms Jackson;

You're one-sixteenth non-Anglo-Saxon"

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Strongly agree with this whole thread but this one most of all.

- "president of the United States" not "leader of the free world". If you're gonna profess to 'lead' countries other than your own, they're not 'free' unless they're allowed to vote you out.
