I'm getting the head down. I'm 250 days sober. Really appreciate the support and encouragement from everyone on here as I navigate my sobriety. It's not easy sitting with your feelings, particularly when they're sad or flashbacks but I'm the better for it

I'm getting some stick over my cardigan. Was asked, 'Who's Grandad did you rob the cardigan off?' I think it looks deadly 😂

The significant verbal abuse and intimidation and the intensification of these harmful behaviours towards our TDs and elected representatives is unacceptable and represents a real risk to democracy at all levels in Ireland. Solidarity Eoin Ó Broin, nobody should be treated like that

Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up

Mick Finnegan Paul Murphy 🏳️‍⚧️ Roderic O’Gorman TD The way the Irish government treat victims of child abuse is almost criminal in itself. Thousands of children without services, abuse ignored, brushed under the carpet. Lives ruined because they turn away from their obligations. Children need protection & need support to heal.

What happens around me and what people think of me are out of my control. I'm just out of therapy with my psychologist. Spent a fair bit of time reflecting on what's in my control and what makes me happy

This is a very narrow and legally dubious interpretation of a recent court judgment on educational assessments for children. Schools shouldn’t indulge this nonsense. Further litigation now an inevitability. gov.ie/en/press-relea…

We are sleepwalking into a catastrophic global conflict.

Our political class shows no interest in de-escalation, diplomacy or restraint — and it is always other people's children who pay the price.

In a world of endless war, we need voices for lasting peace.

People with severe mental illness are 3 x likelier to lose all their teeth and 2 x likelier to have oral cancer found late.

We need more research on how people working with this population can reverse the trend.

It's hard being the only one trying to do what's right for people who have been so badly let down by the state. It was a simple request for support to ensure that survivors will always have access to therapeutic interventions

Really appreciate Paul Murphy 🏳️‍⚧️ asking this important question on behalf of survivors. Disappointed & hurt by Roderic O’Gorman TD response. Its a simple question that he has failed to answer by putting the responsibility on an organisation that couldn't care less

I'd a great day. I'm gonna make more of an effort to smile in my photos that I post online going forward. Hope you all had a good weekend? 😊
