Watching a host who’s actually NICE to kids is so wild after years of watching Tubs be mean to the children and coked up his arse. Loving Patrick Kielty

Screaming into the void because I don't know what else to do. I never, ever thought I would ever feel this scared about being in Ireland.

I'm angry, I'm scared, I'm extremely distressed at news of friends being physically and verbally attacked last night by Gardai and rioters alike. The government created the hell of last night. A country for nobody except the powerful, a country so inaccessible and insecure.

Genuinely don't think "They're just a minority!!!" is a helpful thing to say. It's dismissive. The dog whistles was how it started, and events like last night is how things spread. Eventually a far-right leader will be elected to power and then we'll be scratching our heads asking how it happened.

The most terrifying thing to me is those racist thugs last night go back to being an everyday person today. They could be a neighbour, colleague, fellow commuter on the bus. And now they feel even more emboldened.

Honestly, how do we ever feel safe again?

Spent the night crying, couldn't sleep, and when I did sleep all I had were nightmares. Knowing that a group of people - however small the minority - wants people like me dead is incredibly distressing.

Please check in on your BIPOC, immigrant and queer friends.

I don’t know how to feel safe again Tara. I really don’t.

I have been crying for hours, feeling so helpless and unsafe in a city I used to see myself being in forever. Not sure I see that anymore.

Spent the evening messaging my friends, asking if they’re safe, feeling like my heart would break when the reply took too long to come in.

Drove through Dublin to pick up immigrant friends who couldn’t get home safely.

I’ve nothing eloquent to say except I’m angry and I’m so fucking scared.

I was volunteering at Kids Day in the office today and wore a pink t-shirt and dungarees and one of the kids asked if I was dressed as “Ms Rachel” and I feel like that’s the highest compliment a kid could bestow on you

Happy Halloween!!! (yes that is Bó)

It would’ve been too easy if Bó was Scrappy Doo, instead he’s the Mystery Machine

Mary Lou McDonald just walked into the hair salon I’m in to meet the locals and her crew are recording the visit and I’m in here with my head in the basin while eating a chocolate twist.

Mary Lou please don’t do me dirty PLEASE

Dia duit, Bó is ainm dom 🐮

My dog is a fucking prick, he will knock his toys and chews off the couch and then stare at them, crying and whining, until one of us picks them up for him. You're not a cat, cop on

Really enjoying being 30 but it's like my body immediately fell apart within 24 hours of leaving my 20s. This month's new agony is random pins and needles in my hands???

I've been such an adult today (did not buy a little treat for myself just because I had a difficult task to do)

Castlevania: Nocturne has a sexy red-headed vampire mommy and for that I give it a 10/10

I made it for the first time recently and no joke it changed my life

Omg literally we had no transition. It just went from hot as heck to cold as heck. Hate it!!!

Thank you Lucy & Yak for my life

I know I know, everyone's saying the same, but fuck me it's cold. How did it go from 20 degrees last week to whatever the heck this is today?

Got the hound groomed. Cooked two big hearty meals to see us through the week. Excellent Friday off work

I made coddle today and it was truly delicious so I’m very sorry to say I’m a willy stew enjoyer

The best part about having a dog is taking him on little adventures and watching him experience new things

My friends’ dogs: I am strong wolf, so scary, so well-behaved, my senses are so in tune

Me dog: I will not participate in any training activities until the ground is dry, thank you

Pink Fiat 500 car for children. Toddler sitting in car while parent is pushing.

Would a 1 year old be sturdy enough in something like this? I can't figure out if a 1 year old is still fragile baby or slightly less fragile toddler and can sit up properly

The hustle is not for me. I am a lady of leisure. I do not dream of labour. Please God let me win the lotto

And then you forget ONE day and your skin is like a desert. It's not fair. I'm OVER IT.
