me when I have shaved my legs: I adore to have smooth legs, like a baby dolphin
me when I have not had time to shave my legs: actually removing body hair is a tool of the patriarchy and I won’t be complicit this time round
“I have young children; I have a wife … this situation can’t be allowed to continue.”
The Taoiseach says a bomb threat at his home last night was “utterly unacceptable.”
i bring a sort of “children are the most vulnerable group on earth and all adults have a bare minimum obligation to protect them” vibe to the function that some online freaks find unsettling
I called 13+ churches in my area asking if they could help a family whose water was about to get shut off and they all said some version of, "No, we don't do that." They acted Like I was weird for asking.
The absolute power trip when you get to put one of those Tesco charity chips into the display. Oh the local kids want a kitchen garden do they?? Well sorry but the dementia choir needs me

This is not a post I would ever share normally but we feel the need to address this. We have seen a large number of posts featuring Harvey and Harvey’s story being used in this horrific and racist light. As Harvey’s parents we do not agree with this and we are truly saddened to be in any way affiliated with the massive increase in hate speech towards immigrant and refugees in Ireland. Harvey is awaiting surgical intervention yes, but that is in no way relevant or connected to the murder of Aisling Murphy and the two topics cannot be compared in any way. That was a violent crime against a woman fuelled by misogyny, this is of course a horrific crime but it should not be used against immigrants and most violent crimes against women are by their own partner so to try and turn it in to something it’s not it just deplorable.
For the record, within Harvey and Lyla’s hospitals there is a vast array of nationalities across the doctors and nurses, without immigrants our hospitals would be in an even worse staffing position and some of our favourite staff over the years have been non Irish so to think of them being subjected to racism now after the work they have done and continue to do for our children is just heartbreaking.
Racism is never ok.
If you see any post sharing Harvey’s case in this way please know that they do not represent our views, they do not reflect how we feel towards immigrants and we actively stand against racism and the far right movement as a whole.
Thank you if you read this far!!
