    I think they misspelled 'spite'. A unique *spite* house. Like the interior is nicely done up for what it is, but...Jesus.

    LRT: I'm 2nd gen of a war diapora. Growing up, I didn't hear stories of war. I heard of the land before war, a mythical golden place--forever lost. The war was a giant emptiness: adults fell silent when it came up. Wonder if that's what it'll be like after the pandemic.

    Desperately searching for meaningful ways to help the Afghan people trying to flee this terror. In the first instance, we should immediately rescind ~50 deportation orders on all Afghani nationals in Ireland. No decent democracy would return a person who had fled this hell.

    It's good to hear debate about sharing vaccines on the airwaves in Ireland, but the real solution is waiving patents and allowing countries to develop their own vaccines. ICCL supports the campaign

    The last few weeks have been pretty terrible for me in the insomnia line. I'm behind on everything and not so good at keeping track of just what has slipped my attention.

    Answer me this: how are 60,000 babies born in Ireland every year and yet there is zero plan for small baby childcare? Does our economy really need tens of thousands of people every year scrambling to cobble together something to be able to work & pay taxes?

    "Ministers may talk about a vaccine bonus, but the only one in evidence today is the one that enables you to sip a pint or enjoy a three-course meal indoors. There is no vaccine bonus for pregnant women." Well said

    And yeah, I know, by the standards of places that get hot, 25-29C is really moderate. But it's all in what you're used to. And build for.
