A lovely lady (in her 70s) sat next to me on the bus transfer from Heuston to Athy today. We were both really annoyed about the entire ordeal.
She excused herself in advance for any coughing, reassuring me she didn't have COVID, she was recovering from esophageal cancer. We chatted on and off. 1/3

Early tallies in the presidential election point to an overwhelming victory by Catherine Connolly but also reveal a sharp increase in spoiled ballots.
Connolly told reporters at her local count centre in Galway West that she is “absolutely delighted” with the results so far.

Ten years ago on the day marriage equality was passed in Ireland the waiting time for trans healthcare was about 8 weeks. Today, ten years later that waiting time is now 13 years. Hooray for gay marriage or whatever.

I am in so many leftist spaces; the lack of nuance, care for context, + actually saying what you mean/meaning what you say is tiring + (lack of) accountability + the contradictions.
Is it sabotage/bad faith advocacy, or jut ego + performative allyship? I'm not sure, but it's certainly frustrating.
