Any Irish people out there need to AMPLIFY BLACK VOICES right now, NOT pretend that Irish people, because of a history of oppression, are not complicit in anti-Black racism. This is a pattern that repeats over and over whenever we see institutional racism in other countries and it needs to stop.

Please consider why this is a a particularly disrespectful thing to do in the context of American police brutality: yes, many Irish people immigrated to America to survive a brutal colonial regime... and they integrated into racist white America so much that by the turn of the century a third of New York Cops were Irish. Irish Americans dominated the police forces of many American cities throughout the 20th century and sometimes still do.

"But it's not like that in Ireland! We're not racist!" Shut up. Yes it is and yes we are. Listen to Black people. Call out your friends. Learn.

ALL of the replies are people going "Mental is hocus, health not pocus" until OP turned off replies, and that is the stuff that keeps my mental hocus healthy and pocused

Happy birthday, James Connolly! (June 5, 1868)

Born in the Irish ghetto of Cowgate in Edinburgh, James Connolly became a laborer at a young age, and joined the British Army to improve his prospects. However, he developed a hatred for the institution which he would hold his entire life, and eventually deserted. Becoming influenced by the writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, Connolly came to identify as a socialist, and would become one of the leading figures in the socialist republican movement in Ireland, and a socialist theorist in his own right. In Ireland, he would become a leader in both the Irish Socialist Republican Party and the Labour Party, which he helped to found. Associated with the syndicalist current known as De Leonism, Connolly spent some time in the United States where he affiliated with the Socialist Labor Party and helped to found the Industrial Workers of the World and the Irish Socialist Federation. Returning to Ireland, he was a leader along with Jim Larkin in the Irish Transport and General Workers’ Union, and continued to agitate for Irish independence and a socialist republic. He was a leader in the Easter Rising of 1916, commanding the Dublin Brigade. The rebellion was crushed, and Connolly captured, with his execution coming soon afterward. He has become a national hero in Ireland, with numerous statues and memorials erected to honor his memory and legacy. His dream of an Irish republic united in socialism remains, for now, unfulfilled.

This is a tea checkpoint.

Is your tea getting cold?

Did you turn on your kettle and forget about it and now the water is cold again?

Is the tea bag still in?

Did you intend to start the tea making process and forget?

Congratulations! You remember now.

there are three types of pigeon breeds: "just your average french fry thief," "a little weird but nothing to write home about," and "what the fuck"

normal dude. just loitering around the city. kinda funky, interesting colorway, but feral pigeons have plenty of variety. not really of any particular note, all things considered

u know, that one’s a bit of an oddity right there. in the realm of weird, yeah, but i can still connect point A to point Z

what the fuck. no, seriously, what the fuck is this. how did you get to this morphology via selective breeding. what led you to choose to continue this at each and every step. what.

bonus: why they ourple

@false-dawn

found a twitter tweet that was like "oh yeah content warning hatoful boyfriend has a lot of gore and violence" and every single person in the notes/retweets/qrts/whatever the fuck terms twitter has was going "WHAT THE FUCK IT HAS WHAT" and i find that hilarious because. large amounts of gore and violence is a tremendous understatement about the amount of stuff that goes down in hatoful boyfriend

my full trigger list for hatoful boyfriend (and its sequel), for anyone curious is:

just on the off chance anyone reading this doesn’t know what Hatoful Boyfriend is
