I think it's safe to assume that if you're British and in any way high profile that you're transphobic unless proven otherwise. I am totally unsurprised that Omar Djalili is transphobic. Bit wild that he shared a doc by a self confessed fascist to reveal it all the same. #trans #transphobia #MastoDaoine
On this day in 1799, Frances Maria Edgeworth Wilson was born. Although she was buried in London, a grave was erected for her at Mostrim, Co. Longford. See more gravestone inscriptions from Mostrim in the Journals: https://bit.ly/edge1799

7 year-old Conan is cycling for charity this week - over 320km for three great causes:

And that 320km is not a typo: little Conan's cycling *from #Cork to #Dublin * 😲

Ah here, I was this years old when I heard that Charles Stewart Parnell probably didn’t pronounce his own surname in the way it’s widely applied to Dublin landmarks and roads (par-NELL) but in the same way one might expect to hear in Ireland, with less emphasis on the second syllable (PARN’nell). Gonna road test this out IRL: “Just heading up to PARN’nell Square now. #ParnellNotParnell #CharlesStewartParnell #Parnell #Mastodaoine #pronunciation #IrishSurname https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/charles-stewart-parnell

I nearly reactivated my account to tweet in anger but I'm really trying so hard not to. I searched the #IRFU for any mention of transgender people and there's one tweet where they link to a statement... banning trans women from the sport. Two women in low levels in the sport were affected by this decision. Two! Will the IRFU be allowed march in pride this year? #pinkwashing #pride #trans #lgbt #lgbtq #MastoDaoine

Hello #Mastodaoine and fellow tooters everywhere, I'm looking for inspiration for a wee project, and I'd love your help. I want short slogans/words/phrases to put on stickers that address the rise of the right in Ireland. It can be as simple as "Be Kind, Fight Fascism!" What are the best you've seen or that you would want to say or see on a wee sticker to make the world a small bit better? Go for it! Thank you!

Since the weather is so beautiful and we've a long weekend in Ireland, I've made the #kindle edition of Elysian #free for the next few days. Normally it costs around $7 - for the seven years it took to write 😅.
This novel also takes place over a very long weekend in Cork city in 2016.

Hi!
A few weeks back, I floated the idea of a tech coop. Beginning with tiny steps.
The focus is on a collective organisation. Driven by service to the needs of our local communities, and Irish society at large.
Starting off with the basics, we're getting a name, website/blog, and decision making mechanism (Loomio) down.
If you enjoy hacking on things in this area — in the broadest sense — please reach out. There are a few of us :)
Hey, wondering if anyone knows anyone based around Dublin that collects oral histories. Know a guy who was a firefighter (chief?) during the customs house fire, amongst other events. Dude's got some great stories, often told he should write a book, which, he hasn't yet. So I'm wondering if there's another way to capture this info while he's still around?
Found in #Grangegorman in #Dublin7 - if there's a little human who's missing this soft toy, give me a shout.
Random query for Dubliners:
Is there anywhere in Dublin where you can rent a kayak?

Brain check here, but surely my doctor is in the wrong when they tell me they can't send me my blood test results because of #GDPR? That sounds about as mental as I can even imagine. #mastodaoine
I had a look at the list and I have read in my lifetime 80% of these titles. What are the chances that a 59-year-old white woman in Ireland has read 80% of the 100 greatest children's books of all-time? This musty be a Eurocentric bias right?

So I'm trying something on my #instagram account for a bit of fun, and thought I'd try it here on #Mastodon as well.
I'm setting myself a 30 day challenge to put an image of something, anything, up every day. Goodness only knows what will end up in the sequence.
Anyway, hope people find it a bit of fun, as is intended! ?

So a man filled up with toxic anti-trans culture war nonsense got blind drunk, had a psychotic break and beat an elderly cis woman up so badly she had to be put into care.
