A poem I wrote in honour of Sinead - we will never see her like again. As a mother and baby home’s survivor I thank you for advocating for my birth mother, brother and I long before anyone was prepared to listen 💔❤️

💔 RIP Robbie Coltrane - legend, icon and Hagrid ❤️

[Tom Felton @TomFelton]

One of my fondest memories of filming Harry Potter was a night shoot on the first film in the forbidden forest. I was 12. Robbie cared & looked after everyone around of him. Effortlessly. And made them laugh. Effortlessly.

@ClaireAllan Yes I’ve always dreamt of looking like a daffodil and being recognised from space as being ‘over 40’ and glowing in the dark 🤦‍♀️

[Fionnuala Cassidy The Story Weaver @StoryWeaverNI]

May you always be blessed with walls for the wind, a roof for the rain, a warm cup of tea by the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you and all that your heart might desire

What a gorgeous post on Father’s Day @JustinETharp ❤️ As an adopted child myself who arrived with my parents at the end of June - a date that is celebrated as a second birthday every year - I wish you, your family and precious Emma every happiness together ❤️

[Justin Tharp @JustinETharp]

We’ve been poorly keeping a secret for nearly two years. For those of you who have yet to meet our beautiful, energetic, and loving little girl, we’d like to introduce to you, Emma Tharp!

Emma entered our home on September 25, 2020 and was adopted today, June 16, 2022!

@svjdempz I love it - navy would have worked but royal blue makes a statement! The perfect handrail for a successful author 💙

[Fionnuala Cassidy The Story Weaver @StoryWeaverNI]

What a lovely sentiment that is bound to produce a wonderful and varied response ❤️

Fair play to this employer for taking a stand!

[Norman Emerson Group @normanemerson]

We have been made aware of highly offensive social media content allegedly made by one of our employees, and now comment as follows –

As a family and as a business, we endeavour to ensure an ethos of respect, inclusivity and consideration in everything we do.

I doubt the Queen would be impressed with the sectarian hatred that was part of a celebration in her name! There is something severely wrong with people who glorify the murder of an innocent young woman on her honeymoon simply because she was Catholic and her father a GAA man

[Michelle O’Neill @moneillsf]

I have spoken with @john_mcareavey to offer solidarity to both the McAreavey and Harte families. Hate and sectarianism have no place in our society. People deserve better. Love over hate will always win out.

Ray Liotta - Hollywood actor, original Goodfella and fellow adoptee who just like the rest of us I’m sure had many questions about his heritage. May you rest in peace ❤️

Shitkickers and jeans are the uniform of choice for the Balmoral show 🐮🤠

Absolutely amazing - a brave girl tirelessly campaigning for change getting the recognition she so richly deserves ❤️

My son was confirmed on Friday and took my big brother’s name. A name that was hidden and unacknowledged - I pray that Paul will walk beside him every day and that Orán will do him proud and fight for justice for him always and never let him be forgotten. I am beyond proud ❤️

[Fionnuala Cassidy The Story Weaver @StoryWeaverNI]

The truth will always come out in the end! Good man Johnny for setting a precedent for other male survivors - anyone can be a victim but they don’t also have to be a victim of their own shame and silence when they have done nothing wrong… https://t.co/DcMhyHdpqq

Nice to see humans being concerned for one another in the current inhumane climate of the world
