Women of the Easter Rising

Countess Markievicz Born: Westminister, England Although more than 100 women served actively in the Rising, the Countess is certainly the most famous. A revolutionary, suffragette and politician, Markievicz was a member of the Irish Citizen Army which was headed up by James Connolly. The Countess served as an Officer during the Rising, making her a decision maker and legally allowed to carry weapons. Markievicz went on to be the first woman to be elected to the House of Commons, but refused to take her seat. She was also one of the first women in the world to hold a cabinet position (Minister for Labour of the Irish Republic, 1919–1922)

Elizabeth O’Farrell Born: Dublin, Ireland Formerly a mid-wife in Holles Street Hospital, O’Farrell was one of the three women who were left last in the GPO. She worked as a dispatcher, delivering instructions to rebel outposts outside of Dublin. O’Farrell was picked by Pearse to deliver the order of unconditional surrender to the British and was imprisoned following the Rebellion. However, she was recommended for clemency given that she delivered the order of surrender to the other battalions. She remained active in politics until her death in 1957.

Margaret Skinnider Born: Coatbridge, Scotland Serving as a dispatcher, sniper and raider, Skinnider told accounts of her time at the front line in a book about her life. She was the only female wounded in action throughout the Rising. When she was first imprisoned, she was seriously wounded and spent a long time in hospital. Writing about her time during the rebellion, she commented: “It was dark there, full of smoke and the din of firing, but it was good to be in action. I could look across the tops of the trees and see the British soldiers on the roof of the Shelbourne. I could also hear their shot hailing against the roof and wall of our fortress, for in truth this building was just that. More than once I saw the man I aimed at fall.”

Winnie Carney Born: Bangor, Northern Ireland She was present with Connolly in the Dublin General Post Office during the Easter Rising in 1916. Carney was the only woman present during the initial occupation of the building, which she entered armed with a typewriter and a Webley revolver. While not a combatant, she was given the rank of adjutant and was among the final group (including Connolly and Patrick Pearse) to leave the GPO. After Connolly became wounded, she refused to leave his side. This was despite direct orders from Pearse and Connolly. She had earlier taken the wounded Connolly’s final dictated orders. Carney, alongside Elizabeth O'Farrell and Julia Grenan left the GPO with the rest of the rebels after their surrender.

Also also also, Elizabeth O’Farrell was probably a lesbian!

It’s stupidly romantic, but I like to think (especially in light of our most recent social revolution last May) that the Irish Republic was built by poets and queers, though we didn’t know it at the time.

that last link wouldn’t work for me, but I found a similar article about the lgbtq+ women of the rising!

hot take: movies cutting scenes that reveal a character is lgbt and then confirming it in interviews is.. not representation

WHAT TO DO AT AN ICE CHECKPOINT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE A WHITE CITIZEN

(please, please, please copy, paste, and share widely):

-Border Patrol can verify citizenship within 100 miles of a border or “external boundary.” This includes coastlines so NYC is within the 100-mile zone.

-Border patrol can only ask brief questions about citizenship, and they cannot hold you for an extended time without cause.

-You always have the right to remain silent. You do not need to answer their questions.

-***WITH THAT SAID, IF YOU ARE A BORN CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE WHITE, YOU NEED TO SPEAK THE FUCK UP.***

-The most important acts of resistance are the small ones. Make it difficult and uncomfortable for ICE agents to do their jobs. They are counting on citizens to turn a blind eye and allow them to deport undocumented citizens without challenge. Disabuse of that notion.

-If you are on a train, bus, or anything else and ICE or CBP boards, you need to stand up and loudly let everyone know that they have the right to remain silent or only answer questions in the presence of an attorney, no matter their citizenship or immigration status. There have been numerous reports that confronting the agents in this way has caused them to leave without verifying citizenship. THIS CAN SAVE LIVES.

-If you see anyone being held up by immigration, loudly ask if they are being detained and if they are free to go.

-Immigration officers cannot detain anyone without reasonable suspicion, an agent must have specific facts about you that make it reasonable to believe you are committing or committed, a violation of immigration law or federal law.

If an agent detains you, you can ask for their basis for reasonable suspicion, and they should tell you.

-Always say no to a search and let everyone know that they can and should refuse consent to a search.

-They cannot search or arrest anyone without facts about that make it probable that they are committing, or committed, a violation of immigration law or federal law.

-Silence alone meets neither of these standards. Nor does race or ethnicity alone suffice for either probable cause or reasonable suspicion

-As white citizens, we have a level of privilege which protects us from retaliation from ICE for being “rude” and making a scene, which makes it our DUTY to speak up and make sure people without the same privilege know their rights. GET LOUD. YELL. YELL IN SPANISH IF YOU KNOW IT. LET PEOPLE KNOW THEY DON’T HAVE TO SAY SHIT. MAKE ICE UNCOMFORTABLE. THROW SAND IN THE GEARS OF WHITE SUPREMACY.

BONUS INFO:

-It is perfectly legal to record immigration agents as long as you are not on government property or at a port of entry. If your train/bus gets board, pull your phone out and start videotaping immediately.

-If you are detained or see someone getting detained, get the agent’s name, number, and any other identifying information. Get it on tape.

-Contact the ACLU if you see someone’s rights being violated.

Not on my fucking watch buddy

This seems like something everyone should know if they’re in the sciences and/or interested in reading scientific papers.

That is so sad. Alexa, play Africa by Toto.

No one bit sad. If you are stupid enough to go near wild animals then I’ve no sympathy for what happens to you.

You…DO realize they were poachers right?

Yes I do…is it wrong not to be sad that stupid people did something stupid?

I think they didn’t read your post.

Looks like it…though how you could reply that and not read is beyond me but ok.

"That is so sad, Alex play...." is literally a meme...

I’m just super fucking bitter that once the flint water crisis got it’s 15 minutes of fame people stopped giving a shit. The water is still poisoned, people! Donations have plummeted and people have been forced back into drinking and bathing with the water! The medical effects of this are astounding, cases of legionnaires disease have skyrocketed, people are having seizures, people are having weird rashes break out over their body, people (including me!) are having their blood poisoned, and it’s not just lead! it’s coliform bacteria! it’s THMs! it’s all in the water and it gets into the bloodstream and breaks down blood vessels, causing bruising and petechiae and internal bleeding and no one gives a shit anymore and it’s only gotten worse like how many people are going to have to die until people realize this is still a problem

I would like to add that the people of Flint cannot sell their houses, because selling a house with leaded water is illegal. Additionally, households with children can’t stop paying for the water because living in a house without running water is cause for CPS to take their kids. Flint has been living this way for over two years. 

The people of Flint are trapped by the legal system. And it is only the most high profile case out many cities with a similar problem. 

Because the government has abandoned them, they are dependant on help from the outside. Donate here

If u can’t donate, reblog so someone else can!!!

Please, reblog! IIt’s called self defense. Apart from having here, in the US, one of the highest cases of homicide and rape in the world and high rate of GBV, think about how this could help your mother or sister

Yes indeed#💯💯💯💯💯

friendly reminder that people you consider rays of sunshine can:

peter parker, expressing his affection as any teen would: thor i would die for you :)

thor, gripping his shoulders with the intensity of ten thousand burning suns: i would never let that happen

peter parker, later that week: i would die for you loki

loki, looking him dead in the eye: you will.

drax: [really bad joke]

peter parker: mr. drax? I would die for you

drax, with a pause spent determining that peter is probably joking and then a hearty guffaw: but my muscles and fighting power is several times your own! your death would be meaningless!

peter parker, in the middle of battle with no regard for his own safety: i would die for you

t'challa, who has lived with shuri long enough to know exactly what answer peter is looking for: then perish

Colin Mochrie is the undisputable fucking king of Improv

RIGHT! I saw him live the other weekend. Terrific
