Hand delivered to @micheal-martin.bsky.social last night. (Pride stamp 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ symbolic and as I support An Post.)

Across to the bar over the road for a Beamish. Lovely spot. Sometimes, at closing, the older gentleman there will get a large takeaway order and share chips with people. ❤️🌈☘️ #SpeirGorm

Had a tough weekend. A lot of trauma with how people with disabilities are treated in Ireland, especially LGBTQ+ people and gender non-conforming people. 🏳️‍⚧️

I wrote some fairly serious letters to important politicians, baring my soul. Want to relax with a #SoloRPG #TTRPG and Traveller. 🖤🍺 #SpeirGorm

Woke up feeling somewhat OK today. Actually managed dinner last night thanks to a chipper by me. 🍟🍄

I want to get down to get my trans 🏳️‍⚧️ novel edited. Just a trans person in a bar. It's mostly there. Just need covers and to go through the Amazon sales admin. It's daunting. Esp all the marketing. 🖤🍺

I like Donal O'Shea. He was always very kind to me and willing to talk quite seriously and openly about issues.

He promised me access to a therapist back in 2014ish, I believe, right around when the HSE were about to implement a new model of care. Of course the supports never appeared.🖤🍺 #SpeirGorm
Just a really odd start by Clifford where just tells us to ignore Trump and Greenland so he can focus on one of his favourite subjects , Trans people!

(It's also a really snide article from him because he mentions everyone but barely talks about the student and never considers them.)

I made a Sunday Afternoon Chill playlist it being Sunday afternoon.

The vibe I'm going for is a trendy, fully inclusive of #LGBTQ 🌈🏳️‍⚧️ people bar. Inspiration taken from a couple of real bars, etc. around Ireland where LGBTQ people feel safe. ☘️ IYKYK!

I'm fortunate I get some help from a caring family. It's allowed me to hire a private therapist after 20 years asking the HSE for a referral and being refused. (Latest reason is they don't have knowledge of trans issues, ffs!🏳️‍⚧️)

This will allow some dignity for people. And independence.🖤🍺 #SpeirGorm
In this year's Budget, disabled people were left €1,400 worse off per year.

This Wednesday, the Soc Dems are bringing forward a motion to urge the govt to introduce an emergency winter payment for people with disabilities.

Email your TD today to ask them to support our motion.

Found my old college ID. 10 years ago. I was recovering my health, transitioning fairly successfully. Living my life as it were. Then the Rio Olympics happened with outright hatred for potential trans and intersex athletes.🏳️‍⚧️

It was a turning point in trans hatred. And did huge damage. #SpeirGorm 🖤🍺

@cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social has more integrity, work ethic, dedication and intelligence in his little finger than these miserable scumbags have in their entire sorry bodies. It’s a pleasure to know him and 💯 solidarity!
We stand in solidarity with our colleague Cllr Honore Kamegni following the racist abuse he has faced on facebook this week.

This behaviour is unacceptable. Racism has no place in Cork, in Ireland, or anywhere.

We are proud to stand with Honore and support his great work in Cork City South East.

After a lot of tears over the days I went out last night. Blew a small fortune on booze.

I wake up today (hungover ofc) fewer tears but a lot of fucking fury. Who do you say this stuff to?

It feels like I've been grieving a lifetime and no-one cares that people were, and still are, being killed.
My blog entry about growing up trans in 90s and early 00s Ireland. Very little editing, just me typing, and a playlist of the music from then. #SpeirGorm #SpeirGhrom #SpéirGhrom 🖤🍺

Fifteen minutes on hold with Intreo, now. Waiting to talk to them about returning to work.

I had an appointment to discuss it with them last week. They cancelled it and said they'd send out a new appointment. No letter over a week later. No new appointment.

And they talk about "Benefits Cheats."🙄

Cried my eyes out to this last night and again this morning. Thinking of my 00s teen years and the people lost.

Got them to play Hedonism in a bar a few months back, cried my eyes out there as well.

The lack of support and understanding for people is appalling. 🖤🍺🌈

My reaction to people pointing to chat rooms and calling them "Social Media" is what I guess my parents thought when 6 year me asked if everything was black and white 📸 in their day.

Everything is social media. Websites, your dinner, your hat. All social media. Everything was before then is B&W. 🖤🍺

I went in to buy spicy peanuts for 99c. I spent over €35.😭😅

I got notions of being a chef after making Indian-style spice bag chips 🍟 over the weekend. And I wasn't aided by @rteradio1.bsky.social Drive Time talking about fake-aways as I passed the shop.🤣

The shocking aspect of this is art, and creativity, and imagination is an incredibly useful activity. There's a reason art and creation is such a benefit for people.

However, respect for achieving meaningful progress through art doesn't exist at a personal, societal or economic level. #SpeirGorm 🖤🍺
Another Committee on Disability in the Oireachtas tomorrow about "Services" involving the HSE, etc.

Continuing to infantalise the many people with disabilities who just want some help in getting going by instead offering patronising "day services" of fucking fingerpainting activities. #SpeirGorm 🖤🍺

Me posting to the boys, girls and in-between on Discord at 2am last night:

Love drinking 9 beers and playing a TTRPG for 4 hours. "Games are art, man!" I say as I huff back three cigarettes at my kitchen door, shellshocked. And a little aroused.

An amazing #TTRPG #RPG first Traveller session. 🖤🍺

For some of these politicians you'd swear the internet was invented last week. Not something a 40 year old would have grown up with as a teen.

Facebook was created when I was in college, not last Thursday.

What the fuck have these people been up to all their adult lives?

There is nothing like the joy in this world of offering your hand to a puppy to let them sniff it and the puppy taking the offer and experiencing a world of olfactory exploration and discovery.

Joyce missed a trick in not having everyone yell at stately, plump Buck Mulligan for dragging his shavings all over the shop.

Far from a literary leader Seamus comes across as a bit of hack. #SpeirGorm Some dose to clear up after him. 😠

About that gay 🌈 Ice Hockey TV show that's doing the rounds. The #LGBTQ+ focused one from the US. I've been kicking around a novel about trans #pride 🏳️‍⚧️ existence within the football (soccer) world for a while.⚽

I need the time to get my other books out, first, and some cash from them to support me!

My home made Indian style spice bag chips. I'll definitely do these again. 😋🍟

I might soften some onions in a spiced butter for them next time. And they definitely need a garlic mayo. 🌟
