The goddess Cailleach gathers her firewood on St Brigid's Day (Lá Fhéile Bríde)! If she intends to make the winter last a good while longer, she'll make sure the weather on 1 Feb is bright & sunny & she'll gather lots of firewood! But rain means a short winter! #folklore

We are thrilled to be participating in the St Brigid’s Day parade in Dublin today. Do wave if you see us.

Everything is overwhelming right now. The daily emotional setting is ‘high fear’, stoked by media & opportunists. How to ride a terrifying wave of history? Keep focused on the beautiful & lasting. Keep believing in good. Keep looking to the past for reassurance that times change.

Chim Chiminey. My 134 #London bus paused again this evening on Muswell Hill Broadway just long enough to snap the view from the top deck

Countess Markievicz: Don’t trust to your ‘feminine charm’ .. but take up your responsibilities and be prepared to go your own way, depending for safety on your own courage, your own truth and your own common sense #InternationalWomensDay

On #TransDayOfVisibility I want to celebrate my wonderful trans and non-binary friends, neighbours and colleagues in the UK and across the world. The trans community is strong, vibrant and defiant in the face of prejudice and hate, and I will always stand with you.

Morning wonderful people. A little reminder that trans people are our friends, colleagues, family members, waiting staff, bus drivers, nurses, teachers, lawyers, artists, writers. Most importantly, trans people are our loved ones. #LoveWins #TransJoy

The Irish Supreme Court, in 1983, upheld laws criminalising homosexuality. In 1993, homosexuality was decriminalised. In 2015, same-sex marriage was legalised in this country by enormous public vote. Sometimes the law takes a while to catch up. #LoveWins

Solidarity and love to trans and non binary people ❤️
