Black people are risking their lives to protest when no civil means have helped. White people are not experiencing that danger and should be thinking of how they can put themselves between those people at risk and the potential for brutality.

My very talented friend Caroline wrote a book 'Ar ais ar scoil' to help children feel comfortable going back to school. It's in English and Irish and all funds go to a phenomenal cause LauraLynn, Ireland's Children's Hospice Children's Hospice. I'm excited to get my hands on it! Buy one! #araisarscoil

One of my favourite Irish things is the ludicrous reasoning behind lifetime nicknames. Still have friends who call me ‘beefy’ because once, ten years ago, I ordered the beef at a Sunday pub roast when most others got chicken. Some gems in this thread

45 minutes left to support AMAT's amazing 'alive and singing homeless choir' which has been a massive source of support and joy to participants over the past year. I donated £20 & between gift aid and big give match funding, it became £45 so it's very easy to make an impact.

Preventing gender-based violence is essential, possible and our best solution to the trauma it causes. However, it is vital to recognise that short-term "reassurance" measures, while well-meant, do not prevent violence. They only reduce or delay perpetrators' opportunities.

My heart besieged by anger, my mind a gap of danger. I walked among their old haunts. the home ground where they bled; And in the dirt lay justice like an acorn in the winter Till its oak would sprout in Derry where the thirteen men lay dead. #BloodySunday50

My heart besieged by anger, my mind a gap of danger.
I walked among their old haunts.
the home ground where they bled;
