Pre-op checks for scoliosis surgery done and dusted today! Lots of bloods taken so obviously have to wait for the results of them but otherwise everyone is happy and his surgeon is confident it will go well ❤️ now to wait and see when/if we get given a date by @CHI_Ireland thanks again to @SBH_PAG for helping us organise getting Harvey seen so quickly so we could get the ball rolling, we would be lost without you and the support from @scolionetwork
Now to hopefully finally get you guys a meeting with @SimonHarrisTD so we can see positive movement for all the children waiting! #BackUs #Scoliosis
Many rapes are, yes, random acts, but what Gisèle Pelicot has shown us is that not all are.
It’s a butcher, a blacksmith, a teacher, an accountant, a journalist.
It’s a husband.
It’s a neighbour.
Men get indignant and say #NotAllMen.
In point of fact, representatively, it is.
@philipnolan1@TIME Thanks for your post
I Agree
Philip
Honestly knowing what her
Husband did & those creatures
They are only sorry it’s on
Video
Can’t hide !
They knew she was unconscious
Normal men would never do what these creatures did
If @TIME is wavering over who to name Person of the Year, may I suggest Gisele Pelicot? Her bravery and resolve are exemplary, and every last one of her rapists deserves to rot in prison until death. I hope she can find some semblance of peace, however small, when the trial ends.
@philipnolan1 Even if recycling rates were to improve nominally, the benefit wouldn’t outweigh all the economic and environmental inputs required to set up and run the scheme. In order to pay off, recycling rates would likely need to be close to 100%, which isn’t happening
@philipnolan1 Re-Turn is a joke. Recycling rates have not improved, bin charges set to increase, machines often out of order, untold millions left w/ Re-Turn themselves, added hassle… not to mention all that’s invoked in manufacturing, delivering and maintaining the machines. Awful scheme
Israel has shelled UNIFIL again. We need more than words. ‘Outrageous and unacceptable’ are utterly useless at this stage. This is an attack on the world.
As many of you will know, my Dad passed away very unexpectedly 3 weeks ago. My poor grieving Mam (83) has been trying to reach @LayaHealthcare to inform them & get their policies updated. No joy. 3 calls of 50 mins each on hold today. No reply. LAYA, you're a buckin' disgrace. 😡
Israel is currently bombing:
• Beirut
• South Lebanon
• The Bekaa Valley
• Gaza
• And now, Syria
And yet Western regimes and their media mouthpieces would like us to believe that Iran is the one destabilizing the Middle East.
@LFJIreland That book about Families A and B has to go, asap, before Irish kids start to think that their families are bigoted and inferior to multiracial ones (which is what the book teaches). It's offensive. @NormaFoleyTD1 needs to act now. She should have made sure it was gone already.
@AdameMedia He also added: “we do not provide weapons to Israel though”. So this is a message to the US, UK and Germany.
It’s time for sanctions by the EU, that’s the only leverage France has.
This is the type shit I have to deal with as a Black faculty member. I’m thrown off. Don’t feel like teaching anymore and it’s not fair to my students. Best believe I’ll be doing some investigating on my own because her superiors will be hearing from me by COB tomorrow.
FF Minister Foley has questions to answer in relation to the extremely graphic nature of the new SPHE course for 12, 13 & 14 years olds.
Why is the Minister politicizing & introducing ideology in SPHE for children.
SPHE should be age appropriate.

"You are one of the most privileged people to ever sit in that chair. You are a charlatan and you’re going to prison."
The statement made by the judge in her sentencing was one of the most excoriating things I've ever heard.
It's worth watching.
I'm sorry this man was disrespectful towards you.
I'm also sorry for the comments on your post.... Jeez.
And people wonder why women choose the bear. This is the #EverydaySexism that we have to put up with. Women are supposed to yield to men, in their view, and when we speak up then we are diminished again. We can't win. Even when we want to sit in our own damn seat we paid for.
I'd love women-only carriages.
