Daft report this week; only 851 homes available to rent IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. This website, which tracks AirBnB listings, has 15,657 entire homes available for short term rentals. I'm not saying AirBnB is causing the housing crisis, but it's not helping! https://t.co/D7wofGDeVx
i love how #MoonKnight keeps reiterating that the people saying “you need to be fixed” “you’re broken” “we can heal you” are the villains, and not the mentally ill people. its very nice for a change
jane austen is timeless because the line “i’m 27 years old, i’ve no money and no prospects. i’m already a burden to my parents and i’m frightened” is as relevant today as when she published pride and prejudice in 1813 😭
So the big ole end of my PhD happens to coincide with My Chemical Romance's rescheduled Dublin date. As much as my 14-year-old self will forever hate me, I have one GA ticket for sale. Heavily discounted. Heartbroken seller! DM me if you're in the market!

A heart bookmark found inside a collection of Dutch pamphlets from the 1680s. Amazing that something so delicate managed to survive! #rarebooks#bookmarks
Solidarity with a grieving family is one thing. Mawkish voyeurism is quite another. Feel a touch uncomfortable with some of the coverage I'm seeing today.
In the wake of another senseless act of violence against a young woman, it's tough not to be terrified of venturing out alone. Noone should have to wonder if this is the last time they'll be home when closing their front door to go anywhere. Fear shouldn't be the normal.
A group of older gentlemen asked me was I okay walking on my own as I set off for my walk alone this morning. They promised to keep an eye along the path for me as I strolled. I shouldn't need to be minded as a woman walking alone but I was very grateful for the little kindness.
we can keep our keys between our hands and make sure we only walk in daylight and never wear a ponytail and cover up and only let music play in one ear and take the public routes all we want but it makes no odds because the cause of this is male violence not womens carelessness
