Well, if it goes today I just wanna say it’s been great. Mostly. Some horror moments but the good outweighs the bad. I’d love to stay in touch with most of you. Instagram: UrsusRob Mastodon: @papabear @mastodon .lol See you soon x

Get vaccinated. I’m so weak. This virus is debilitating. I can’t begin to imagine what it was like before the vaccines. My temp is up and down. My breathing goes from short/rapid to long/laboured. Stop being an armchair virologist and listen to the experts. Get vaccinated!

Reported an account for using the word f*ggot as a slur. @TwitterSupport said it didn’t violate their rules as it’s not a slur. A few years ago my account was suspended for using the same word when I was telling a story about how it was shouted at me. Why is it now not a slur?

I don’t know one LGBTI+ person who hasn’t faced some form of homophobic attack. Verbally or physical, online or in person. I have. Often. It never ends. These murders won’t be the last. But we’ll keep fighting. We have to. I’m broken by this but I’m not giving up.

If you think the JK issue is just a trans one this is worth a read. Rowling is rotten to the core.

Jk Rowling's alt author name is Robert Galbraith an American psychiatrist who did conversion therapy but its probably a coincidence. JK Rowling named the bad school that Harry was supposed to go to Stonewall High but its probably a coincidence. JK Rowling won't display...

A few years ago I had a heated debate with a friend over the “Yes all men!” Hashtag. I was in the “No, it’s not all men!” camp. I was also wrong! Yes, it is all men. (1/15)

I’m a big believer in showing your feelings and crying if you need to. Especially men. Men don’t cry enough because, well, because of other men. So, that being said, after a very annoying and disappointing call from the hospital I’m going to have a little cry.

Just as well I brought water with me! @rte_co opened with Stars Main theme and I started crying. Then I cried at Princess Leia’s theme. Then at the Imperial March. Then at ET’s theme. I bawled at Schindlers List and cried again at Superman. And this is only the first half!

Silence on this from @SocDems makes me glad I left. Fact they’ve known about this for months, but he is still a member & councillor is sickening. Typical of the failing leadership. Party of words not action. Anyone still a member needs to take a look at themselves & the party.

@eoinmauricedaly For what it’s worth my dogs are never off the leads around kids. Kids come to them, they don’t go to kids because I don’t let them. And, they’re never alone with kids. They’re soft and stupid but nature will take over if something happens they don’t like.

Rush hour in #Galway starts at 6.30am. It finishes around 8pm. Midweek there is no let up in the traffic problems. Transport, along with housing and healthcare, needs to be a priority issue in Galway and more roads is not the answer.

I’ve had some hate for telling people to get vaccinated. You know that time you’re the one to tell your friend their partner is no good. Friend hates you and doesn’t speak to you. Then years later they see you were right and apologise and you’re friends again? This is that!

There are times, as a gay, where I still have to check myself. ‘Am I being camp?’ ‘Am I being obvious?’ ‘Do those guys want to beat me up?’ I wonder if Tories have to check themselves too? Because surely you’d never want anyone knowing you were a Tory?

I’m lucky there is a straight guy at work to tell me how I’m wrong, what I was experiencing wasn’t homophobia. And apparently he’s the least homophobic person I know. Honey, “least homophobic” is still homophobic and for your info I know people who aren’t homophobic at all.

Rural transport in Ireland is not fit for purpose. The national provider, is too concerned about profit per route, rather than who they serve or how to make it better. @EamonRyan needs to do something about this rather than continuing to be not fit for purpose himself.

At least she admitted she was part of the problem, learned and moved on. Friends was an awful show. Casual racism, jokes about alcohol abuse, making fun of fat people, the list goes on. Friends certainly wasn’t the worst thought. But this is what we need from producers.

Sometimes cries for help go unnoticed no matter how hard a person tries, and they’re too ashamed or proud to ask for help. So occasionally check in with your friends. Just ask if they’re ok. That’s all it takes. Even the ones who seem okay. Just ask. You could make a difference.
