I like people, places, and things.

[nick @lovechazelle]

she’s fired for being against genocide but brad pitt (abuser), michael fassbender (abuser), johnny depp (abuser), jack nicholson (nearly beat a sex worker to death) and woody allen (raped his 7 year old adopted daughter) are still freely walking around with no consequences

[TIMES OF GAZA @Timesofgaza]

Footage for the unprecedented lsraeli air attacks hitting Gaza Strip.

[AJ+ @ajplus]

Israel and Gaza are not two countries at war. Gaza is a territory under siege, where every aspect of life is controlled by Israel.

[Bassam Khawaja @Bassam_Khawaja]

Seeing absolutely chilling attempts to equate advocacy for Palestinian human rights with support for Hamas or its actions. It's a dangerous pattern that shuts down discussion or awareness of what's happening right now in Gaza amid rising Islamophobia. Quick thread:

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

Abhorrent. This is a call to commit a war crime by @yoavgallant. The @IntlCrimCourt should take note.

[Róisín Collins @RoisinCollins]

Hamas’ actions are horrifying, but they do not represent all Palestinians and, should not be seen as justification for further oppression of the Palestinian people, who have been suffering under a settler colonial regime for literally decades.

[Róisín Collins @RoisinCollins]

Comments on Twitter and Reddit are really showing how racist and literally genocidal people feel towards Palestinians…

[Róisín Collins @RoisinCollins]

If you say that you were ‘sympathetic’ towards the Palestinians, but now you are totally in favour of Israel, then FYI, you never cared for Palestinian liberation.

@RTEOne @RoseofTralee_ supporting the beautiful New York Rose from Vancouver!! Love you Róisín! 🌹💚 #roseoftralee

[Eoghan Daltun 🌍 @IrishRainforest]

An image from @Irishwildlife on Instagram gives a good idea of what's proposed in the Draft Forestry Plan.

A) Yellow circle: sitka + other monoculture plantation
B) Green circle (the pinprick): naturally regenerated native woodland

A *travesty*, whose legacy will last decades.

Kamilla’s🧵THREAD on why experts on domestic violence believe Amber Heard, what DARVO is, and how Johnny Depp was about to get away with it.

[Róisín Collins @RoisinCollins]

@michellelane_ @lucitelu @Tweet_Dec Well this was delightful

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Overturning Roe v. Wade and denying women the right to control their own bodies is an outrage and in defiance of what the American people want. Democrats must now end the filibuster in the Senate, codify Roe v. Wade, and once again make abortion legal and safe.

[Rob O'Hanrahan @RobOHanrahan]

"Under those laws, a woman will have to bear her rapist’s child or a young girl her father’s—no matter if doing so will destroy her life... After today, young women will come of age with fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers had."

- dissenting Supreme Court Justices.

[Róisín Collins @RoisinCollins]

This is so fucked up.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: The Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion in a decision that will lead to all but total bans on the procedure in about half of the U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts voted with the majority. https://t.co/KiIUF7WKC1

Lucy Dacus' show in the Olympia has been rescheduled to the same night as Mitski's show in Vicar St. Fairly sure their target audiences overlap considerably so I can't be the only one who now has to decide which show to attend.

[Chapters Bookstore Dublin @chaptersbooks]

We just couldn’t let it go! The Gamesworld lads from the back of Chapter’s Middle Abbey St, Kev & Mick are the new owners of Chapters - reopening Friday 11th March!

Love UPS leaving my item in some parcel motel in Ballymun with no with warning and now refusing to deliver the item. Just because GPS apparently shows the driver in the area does not mean he actually attempted delivery. Zero calls or texts at all from him. @UPS

One of my favourite bookshops 💔
