there In UCD, Ireland a medical student was graped by another student while she was unconscious. Images and videos were shared around. She tried to get her exams postponed because of the so much stress of ending up pregnant and needing an abortion. She was denied. She lost her court case, and the university is trying to sue HER for costs. The Grapist is still allowed to study there. There have been protests and they are ongoing, but I am so so, so tired of this behaviour. No woman, no girl, child or infant deserves this

Doctors prescribe birth control to 14 year olds like it's candy. No investigation into why a 14 year old is having severe acne, debilitating periods, or irregular periods. Just suppress the issues with synthetic hormones for the next decade.

Birth control at 14 means
- Her natural hormone production is suppressed during her critical development years
- B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and selenium are depleted for years
- Gut bacteria is altered for years
- She has no opportunity to learn what a healthy cycle looks like
- She is risking her future fertility
- She is completely out of touch with her own body

It's easier to prescribe birth control than to investigate why a teenager's body isn't functioning properly. We're medicating teenage girls instead of teaching them how their bodies work and how to support them properly.

Birth control needs better regulation.

And said ye will send me a text , which we know isn't possible ..

@VirginMediaIE your customer service is something absolutely shocking. My husband has been without coverage since Sunday, mixed messages from your colleagues about when and if a new sim is coming. Agents on twitter are not fit to help with queries the agent he was talking to on

[Maria Flood @Mariaflood97]

Cannot move to another company yet as the replacement sim hasn't come yet. How can a company in the day and age not communicate over email also? He tried to lodge a complaint on your website last night when he had WIFI at home and the website wouldn't let him as a pop up came up

Did you attend Maynooth between 2015-2022?

Your money has been taken under false pretences.

Since 2015, a €150 per year student levy was introduced to build a new Student Centre.

@MaynoothUni has today terminated the project. Do we get our money back?

Made my survey today finally for my final year in animation degree thesis today. If anyone wants to fill it out, that would be amazing. The survey is 100% anonymous, you have to be over 18 and should take under 10 mins to fill out. Many thanks to anyone who filles it out 😊✨
