So @frankiegolucky.bsky.social and I have deep dived on a lot of crunchy grifters. But the Free Birth Society might be the most horrific.
Honestly, I'm surprised Saldaya and Norris-Clarke aren't in jail (although Norris-Clarke has "fled" to Nicaragua to escape the Canadian nanny state, so...)

A year-long investigation reveals how mothers lost children after being radicalised by uplifting podcast tales of births without midwives or doctors
As Esau Lopez was asphyxiated for the first 17 minutes of his life on Earth, the atmosphere in the room remained serene, even ecstatic. Acoustic music crooned from a speaker in a modest two-bedroom apartment in a suburb of Pennsylvania. “You are a queen,” murmured one of three friends in the room.
Only Esau’s mother, Gabrielle Lopez, felt something was wrong. She was pushing hard, but her son would not be born. “Can you help [him] out?” she asked, as Esau crowned. “Baby is coming,” the friend replied. Four minutes later, Lopez asked again, “Can you grab [him]?” Another friend murmured, “Baby is safe.” Six minutes passed. Again, Lopez asked, “Can you grab [him]?” Continue reading...

Went to Moulin Rouge in the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre tonight and it was fantastic. Something curious I noticed was the addition to the pre show announcement telling the audience not to sing along. Kinda mad to me that that’s even needed.

Why is Black Friday now 12-13 days?? Did the stores get the date wrong thinking it was yesterday rather than next week, and then had to switch it up and make it work out some how?

Pushers, written by and starring Rosie Jones, is some of the best TV I've watched in ages.
Genuine laugh-out-loud comedy with some really important messages about disabled community.
The crips help crips scene = perfection.

Home after spending 4 nights in Berlin and can safely say that I’ve never felt such affinity for a city like I did while there. I did not want to leave, and already miss it.

I was (sleepily) reading I Who Have Never Known Men and thought “wow this story seems super familiar!” Turns out, I already read it in 2023 and totally forgot*.

I mentioned that some of them simply weren’t true, and @eilymay.bsky.social had the best response: “why would you let something like the truth stand in the way of being a hater?”
On the fiftieth anniversary of De Valera's passing, let us take a moment to remember his critics on the right who thought he was a feminist West Brit and.... A Bastard.

I really and truly despise the current standard for television series to be 8-10 series. I want more depth to the B plots! Like execs, hear me out, we don’t have to go back to 22 episodes but like can we at least get 15-ish episodes? Why can’t that be the standard 😭

Started #Wayward yesterday, and finished it today. As a horror fan, there’s one thing I love more than a great horror and it’s a great horror featuring Toni Collette.

Finished #HouseOfGuiness today, and I must admit I loved it. Of course, there are some inaccuracies, and it’s heavily stylised, but it’s *fun* and great storytelling. I loooved the development of the two brothers’ relationship. Here are some other thoughts:

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.
One thing that I think some not-youngs forget (and is different from 20 years ago) is that Kirk used his ‘debates’ to generate video that could go viral and, to use an old phrase, catapult the propaganda. His debates weren’t in any way, shape, or form educational.
When Charlie Kirk, who put together lists of professors he didn't like so people could target & harass them, used the phrase "free speech", he used it in the same way creationists use "teach the controversy." For Kirk, it was just another way to bludgeon the left and also to promote his propaganda.

Got injections into the right of some spinal joints today, and I’ve been so wobbly and lopsided since, it’s a very weird sensation but hopefully this helps with the pain 🤞

Why doesn’t RTE, or someone officially stream EP? Tried to watch Chappell Roan on the only available live stream I could find, someone’s TikTok, it was awful quality, they were just showing their friends and chatting, and then it cut out after like 4 songs 😭

Become an instant Mon Rovia stan not just for their music but because they’ve been reposting to all of their TikTok followers everyone who sets videos of ICE or police/protest encounters to this song, to get the videos past algorithm suppression. And now they’re at the opry. This is how it’s done

I can’t say I’m surprised John Boyne, author of “my brother’s name is Jessica” is transphobic (also let’s not forget he got in a fight with the Auschwitz Memorial). He’s a disgrace to Irish Writers imo.
Just in case anyone was confused about John Boyne's stance on the wider LBGTQIA+ community and the "nonsence" of our existence, or of his ableism for that matter!
I hope the Polari Prize takes note
