I did an AMA on Instagram about the #CareRef and it's clear that there's a lot of unclear and undecided voters. These were just some of the questions asked. A lot of people unclear what they're actually voting for which is why education is key. #VoteYesNo

Longer/stricter sentencing doesn't solve societal issues btw, carceral justice won't make misogyny, homophobia and deep rooted sexism disappear. We need more ambition from our criminal justice system.

My personal take on the means test of social welfare is that they shouldn't exist for anyone and anyone who advocates for increased scrutiny because of where someone is from is no leftist, and lacks basic humanity 💚

Can't believe someone on the Yes side has unashamedly attacked myself and my fellow community members. All we have done is advocate for equality, and we're tagged in dogpiling gotcha threads. Incredibly disappointing, and I'm here for those affected.

My reasons for voting No to the #CareRef are very different than the ones on display this evening. Don't think that came across in #rtept . I did my best, hope I convinced some people to vote #YesNo

Was iffy about sharing, but recently celebrated six months sober. Not that I haven't had a wee tipple, it just doesn't control my nights out anymore and isn't a crutch for my social anxiety anymore. Big slay!

Just FYI. Most disabled women have no access to a refuge centre that is also accessible. There's only one in Dublin, most counties have none. Get your house in order before telling us about ours.

Gas how people who are advocating for a #YesNo the hardest are the most in need of a break after this ref but it's not possible to take a day off from being disabled or providing care 🥹

This pride month, I'm hoping the queer community examines it's ableism. We're all fighting the same fight, better to do it together. To all my queer Disabled friends, you belong in our community too. Happy Pride 🌈💘

Received my most brutal piece of hatred so far, saying that I make Aktion T4 look desirable. Aktion T4 was the systemic murder of disabled people during the holocaust. Let it be known that if they're at far right protests, they want disabled people dead.

People on the right thinking I am an ally, I am not! I am the furthest thing from in league with you, despite what prominent organisations are saying. Vote #YesNo for true intersectional feminism, not throwing people under the bus for clout xx
