📕 With a shared passion for books and a deep commitment to children reading for pleasure, The Queen and author J.K. Rowling have met at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
Her Majesty and Ms Rowling discussed the importance of ensuring that young people have access to books and the vital part reading plays in opening doors for future generations.
Probably my favourite piece on Jeffrey Donaldson:
"This statement is the perfect summary of everything wrong with... Christian Conservatism that is rife across Northern Ireland: keeping up with the Joneses matters more than children's safety....."

Such a scandal. She's avoided prison for aiding & abetting her pedophile husband bc of "mental health". Parkinson's? schizophrenia? No. She's depressed. A condition that has suddenly worsened since the arrest of her husband. No shit you're depressed you've been caught. Horrorshow
He raped a girl so brutally that her tampon had to be surgically removed. You have a daughter @jimmyfallon what the fuck is wrong with you. It is insane to me that this man has continued to be platformed and praised despite what he did.
To all the men who continue to kiss his ass, what if that was your daughter, sister, girlfriend, wife, or mother? What would you want to happen to the man who was responsible? How would you feel if the majority of people brushed off what happened and gave the man responsible millions of dollars and fame? Explain to me why he is allowed to live life as a free man after what he did.
@IrishRail The screen is saying platform 3 currently? Please I have a leg injury and need to know if I will have to take the stairs to change platforms
In 2018, the people of Ireland voted overwhelmingly to repeal the Eighth Amendment, giving Irish women and pregnant people the right to autonomy over their bodies.
However, the O'Shea report (2023) found that current abortion laws are not meeting the needs of women and pregnant people.
I was delighted to hear yesterday that @sinnfeinireland legislation to remove the mandatory three-day waiting period for abortion care in early pregnancy has passed.
There is still so much we can do to make abortion more accessible in Ireland, but I’m happy we’re a step further.
