I’m not writing this as a fan, but as a dad. A football-loving, middle-aged man who’s watched the noise online grow louder and uglier. And I can’t stay silent anymore.
I’m talking about Taylor Swift. Not her fashion or fame, but the way people grown adults mock her simply for cheering, smiling, and showing up for someone she loves. That’s what bothers you?
Our kids notice. Daughters hear the jokes about “too much Taylor.” Sons learn from the eye-rolls about which women society chooses to ridicule for being visible and joyful.
Here’s the truth: Taylor Swift has earned over 300 awards, including multiple Grammys. Her Eras Tour added nearly $5 billion to the U.S. economy. She donates to food banks in every city she visits, quietly and without asking for applause. Her lyrics are studied at the world’s top universities, not because she’s famous, but because she’s brilliant.
And when a radio DJ assaulted her and sued her, she didn’t hide. She counter-sued for one symbolic dollar, won, and reminded young women everywhere: you matter, and your voice matters.
So no, I’m not a fan because of her music. I’m a fan because she uses her platform with strength, dignity, and purpose. Our daughters deserve better. Our sons need to learn that kindness, success, and womanhood are never reasons for ridicule. Via~Nature Mind

@Coastalnewspod @MrDavid_885 @iamjamietv I went snooping! I'm gutted... was so invested in Xana 💔

[ewolfe @eflowae]

@MrDavid_885 @iamjamietv @Coastalnewspod No they defo knew he was leaving because one of the makeup ladies posted a video of them clapping him on for his last scene and making a big fuss.
The exit feels really off though.

@Lokiusisreal Same - miss them already!

[liz @lizboyfanclub]

ughhhhh I didn't fix my entire life this weekend FUCK

[ewolfe @eflowae]

@Lokiusisreal So much 😔

[ewolfe @eflowae]

@Lokiusisreal Same - break up or tragedy or something. Especially because it's the end of the season

[ewolfe @eflowae]

@Lokiusisreal And if he is leaving, why so sudden and why not do the break up at that stage?

[ewolfe @eflowae]

@Lokiusisreal I can't make sense of this storyline at all

@simonmlewis @SineadRoisin77 @DCU The intention of the amalgamation was to reduce the number of teacher training colleges, to reduce costs to the State and to cap the number of teachers being trained as there were high levels of teacher unemployment a decade ago. Respecting each colleges identity was considered.

[ewolfe @eflowae]

@simonmlewis @CPuirseil @DCU Qualifies you to teach yes, but historically does not equate to availability of teaching positions after you qualify. Many schools refused to employ teachers unless they were trained in the same denomination. There are far fewer protestant schools and therefore less opportunity.

[ewolfe @eflowae]

@simonmlewis @DCU In the case of CICE there is a suitability to teach interview, a health screening and Garda Vetting requirements. The other colleges do not require this before entry. This actually makes it harder to enter the course, hence less CAO points.

[ewolfe @eflowae]

@simonmlewis @DCU Some of this is inaccurate. This course requires less CAO points because it is 'restricted' meaning there are additional entry requirements above CAO. There are a number of restricted courses in ireland because they require portfolios, additional training, auditions/interviews.

“If you put red ants & black ants in a glass jar, nothing happens. But if the jar is shaken, the two sets of ants will fight each other. But the real enemy is the person who shook the jar. The same is true in society. Before we fight each other, we must ask: Who shook the jar?”

Be slow to judge. Some hidden talents may not be exposed in the wrong places.
