our GAA club launched their big fundraiser today where you can win a heifer, the primary school kids picked the name and the parish priest announced Ice Spice as the cows name.
in tears, couldn’t write it
feminism for me started when i was eight and used to buy the yorkie bars from the shop as my friday treat but i thought they were illegal to buy as a girl so i thought myself and the shop lady were part of an underground yorkie woman mafia movement or smth
my granny, who is 76 and doesn’t know how to use a mobile phone only to answer calls, missed her covid vaccine today bc the doctors surgery sent her a text. surely this tech barrier is a wider problem among the older gen being vaccinated?
my grandad was very sick for a few weeks in hospital and granny said he would wait till the 1st of may bc the queen of the may is his favourite song. today all us grandkids were around him in the room and we put on the song for him and he passed then after the song finished❤️
the worst thing about this is that the old straws were fully recyclable and the new straws aren’t bc of the plastic film they have on the outside so it’s just a PR stunt
Drinking your McDonald’s through one of those dusty fucking paper straws knowing the actual ocean is literally on fire and there’s not a single real change being made to do anything about the destruction of the planet
STOP hating the Irish language
An Aimsir Chaite is AMAZING
Na Briathra Neamhrialta are FASCINATING
An Tuiseal Ginideach
An Aimsir Fháistineach is RIVITING
was debating even tweeting this bc i don’t want creatures coming out the from the depths of twitter to antagonise me after the morning i’ve had but today i got spat on. in total disbelief rn
we will literally develop an attachment to anything, our old roomba won’t hoover properly anymore and just glides across the floor making obscene amounts of noise and dad still lets him out for his walkies around the kitchen and we leave little bits of dirt out especially
hozier’s new song is giving very much bag of cans in a field type of music and american’s are saying he’s not their irish bog nymph anymore when he’s literally encompassing the epitome of irish culture here lads
soooo was keeping this private bc the inspector actually told me i would get this appealed and now luas have told me my statement of explanation is not sufficient and now i’m a student with a €45 fine (see below)
@wlwverine
tbh it was a crude marketing technique and i hated it but it radicalised a whole legion of impressionable young girls in incidents like that so i can look past it 😭
when i don’t wake up for my friday 10am: it’s not a big deal, i sleepy🥺
me when i wake up for my friday 10am lecture: i am the epitome of academia, i am so much better than everyone else who didn’t show up, i am a historian <3
begrudgers of irish becoming an official EU language claiming “it’s never used anyways” i don’t think rick riordan, the creator of the best books of all time would be too pleased to hear that
around 11am on o’connell st, man walked up and i thought he would say something so kept my head down and he just literally spat. on me. muttered something about me wearing my ffp2 mask outside (i just had covid and ORANGE STORM WARNING it was FREEZING)
admit it or not there is a big power imbalance between people who are “popular” on irish twitter vs people who only have a few followers, it’s really intimidating to call someone out on their behaviour when it looks like they’ve the support of many
the strongest individuals of irish twitter heading into 2022 are NUIG students, the F1 fans and people who still have an italian display name from the euros
if rumours are true and some TDs were vaccinated at the beacon... every time i think the irish gov can’t possibly be more underhanded and corrupt they just drag the bar closer and closer towards hell
"give a victorian child a dorito or something and they would combust" bro, they used to prescribe cocaine eye drops and lozenges when they were sick, it's US who wouldn't last a day there
“x number of mutuals still following...” guys, people don’t live on this app and many are taking a much needed break, they’ll see it sometime tonight or tomorrow, it’s not malicious
was by myself, had to rush home to get my bags for my train and not in a position to be indignant about it, just get home. actually thought he missed me but when i got on the luas it was on my jacket. so so humiliating
@rachyymarshall
not me but me and my ma met michael bublé at an airport once and she let him know that my dad calls him mickey bubbles. he was not too pleased to say the least.
americans always use the excuse that they didn't learn geography so they don't know where places are but like... we did geography and can't remember one class where an actual MAP was taught, we just learnt about all the rivers in ireland and rocks. so it's just ignorance right?
what’s up with cheer having sad music and a whole episode about a sex offender and having monica and gabi saying they still love him and then ladarius (the only one who totally spoke out against Jerry) was completely cut off from them. bad bad taste in my mouth.
was having a bad day and then a girl in my class came up to me after our tutorial and we chatted for ages and it brightened up my whole day. just saying you never know your true impact when you decide to be nice :)
IMAGINE you go through the initial turmoil and shock of receiving a letter from your adult daughter you didn’t know existed asking you to come to her wedding, you show up and there’s two other guys who got the EXACT same letter. i’d leave.
soooo was keeping this private bc the inspector actually told me i would get this appealed and now luas have told me my statement of explanation is not sufficient and now i’m a student with a €45 fine (see below)
more tweets about that map on my tl than actual awareness about the situation in palestine. 90% sure that infographic was just for scale for people who don't know about it yet (allow others to not know everything, let them learn and understand at a different pace to you)
I cried watching YOU. I feel so lucky to have gotten to watch you all these years, but this week was a lesson in emotional intelligence and resilience. We all learned from you. Thank you.
i never yelled in a field before this morning but it was very therapeutic bc i could not start my essay beforehand and then i came back and i nearly have it done. culchie college students, we as a collective have to utilise fields effectively during exam time
we got dad a new roomba for his birthday a few months back but we all didn’t want to get rid of larry so now himself and gary the new roomba clean together and their charging stations are beside each other where they sleep at night. so now we have barry, larry and gary
he used to sing that song all the time at home and he played the organ at mass nearly every day. i just wanted to share bc it was such a lovely way to go and makes it a lot easier. he was always a very dramatic man and probably waited for that fitting send off :)
myself and mam looking at modules this morning for next yr and saying i wanted to do italian and she goes is this to do with the football or the bisexuals katelyn

when ian bailey confessed on netflix to beating the sh!t of his partner on multiple occasions and his defence was “it takes two to tango” if he wants a hitman i’ll get him one alright
@Papapishu
hey Chris, i’m part of a college startup that is a recycling solution to disposable vaping that is due to rollout in bars, nightclubs and college campuses this summer ! please reach out if you would be interested in discussing VapeBox further or share to spread the word💜♻️
got a first in the essay i stayed up till 4am to submit the night before grandad’s funeral and a first in the essay i did two days afterwards. sound out chief, knew you’d look out for me :)))
this sort of thing just makes me irrationally angry bc women trust men who say they support us and raise awareness and then we look so stupid for praising the bare minimum when stuff like this comes out and it’s just performative to accomplish other means
i really do get the appeal of trinity like you’re having a shit day over exams but at least you’re having a shit day and building you’re in is very very pretty
can i just fast forward to the part where i’m working in a city in mainland europe living with my boyfriend in a nice apartment with big windows and a balcony
we’ve already had issues with american pro life groups coming over to harass and endanger women using these services. the government have completely disregarded the safety of all women and employees here, it is so disgusting
The Government has scrapped promised laws to introduce safe access zones outside maternity hospitals and clinics providing abortion services.
