Pic from 20 odd years ago when I was practising for lone parenthood. The two littlies are my profoundly disabled daughter and my autistic son

Woman with dark brown hair in a short bob and black rimmed glasses sitting on a blue duvet?? and wearing a white shirt sleeved tee is holding a cute small girl and boy, one in a red and white tee and one in a white tee with blue lettering. A girl of about 9 sits behind them wearing a black tee

Referring to people by their preferred pronouns is respectful and provides dignity. International Pronouns Day started in 2018 and has occurred on the 3rd Wednesday of October ever since. This year it falls on the 15th of October.
My pronouns are she/her/hers

I think that’s the end of the line for me and the flu vaccine - it looks like I’ve got another allergy to add to my list 😂

Kranky Karer @coreilly.bsky.social · 1d

I can’t afford to get sick cos too many people depend on me, so I just sucked up the cost

I’m still chasing @hselive.bsky.social for Novavax to protect against covid as I also get very bad side effects from the MRNA vaccines

On this day in 1823 the "Mac" was born.
Scottish chemist Charles Macintosh began selling the first waterproof raincoats, or "macs," which were made by sandwiching a rubber compound between two layers of fabric. The invention was a technical revolution that quickly became popular.

Dear Dáithí: I love my niece, but it hurts to be left out of her wedding

I can’t help feeling so hurt that she is not including me, I feel like all that investment I put into her growing up means nothing to her

They haven't even tried.

Reforestation has hardly started and there's heaps of new data centres.

FF FG are content to do nothing and spend €20 billion of taxpayer's money each year in fines instead of climate action.

Wicked.

I love that there is a drag queen called Maud Gonne Wrong. She is one of this Cork drag family.

I suspect #FFFG have filed climate action under “things we tried”

Darragh O'Brien needs to make sure that his transport portfolio isn't making things harder for his climate portfolio, Dr Catherine Conlon.

Opinion: Between lifting the cap and new Derry flights, is Darragh O'Brien minister for climate, or just transport?

I tried to decorate a mask one time, but the lingering smell made me feel ill

I wonder if anyone makes seasonal
Respirators for Halloween Christmas etc ?

Utterly ridiculous. Here in Ireland I can just reorder the digital prescription on the website every 6 months (though they charge €30 each time). I rarely visit the GP especially as the practice is 45 minutes away, but having one at all is now a privilege
