In Ireland, there are 122 landlords with 101+ tenancies. A further 130 with 50-101 tenancies. There is quite literally no need for anyone to own that much property.

I quite literally will never understand this take. I know that we always need *some* rental property available but the vast majority of people in Ireland want to own and we can't because of *drumroll please* landlords buying multiple properties to rent. Them leaving the market is what we want.
Landlords 'stampede' out of rental market ahead of new changes coming next year

The new rules and regulations will not affect tenants that have been in place before March 1 and after that date, they will see a six-year tenancy agreement put in place
Renters could be facing an even more uncertain market in the months ahead of new tenancy rules that are coming into effect

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.
This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

Btw the one of maybe two queer-friendly charities on the ground, GEPA, has had to halt operations because of the phasing out of support by the US-based Rainbow Railroad. And we can all guess why that is happening... (most likely not the org's fault)

Do I know anyone (who knows anyone) who writes for a big press outlet on LBGTQIA human rights issues, especially worldwide? I'm trying to draw attention to the plight of a group of people in South Sudan who are facing grave danger and additional barriers to aid because of their identity.

Consider reading my new piece on the history and science of the nasogenital cure! Incidentally, that's not exactly what the theory was and not quite what the episode reveals. Bizarre tales sound rather less bizarre in context - possibly, our own tales in our own context, too.
