- @dublinbusnews.bsky.social - on a 40D towards city centre and driver could really go easier on the brakes. A man was practically hurled across the bus as he went to move from his seat towards the door. The heavy-on-the-brakes has been a feature of this long and jolt-y journey …

- Reposted by Lorraine LeesonPete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

- This piece breaks my heart. The callous disregard for women’s lives is outrageous. There must be ways to support these women #SanctuaryScholars www.bbc.com/news/article...
- What a remarkable story of generosity. It’s reassuring to read of this kind of human compassion on days when the world seems dark and filled with self-interest.
- My aunt just sent an @irishindosport.bsky.social piece to my by @paulkimmage.bsky.social which references a shared set of Davis relatives - my great grandmother was John’s daughter, Francis’s sister …

- I’m lighting a little candle in memory of Ann Lovett. I remember the coverage of her terribly sad death so clearly, as Ann was just a couple of years older than I was. Ireland was a tough place for girls and women. Too much of our world remains so.
- Thinking of Ann Lovett today, ##otd 1984, 15yrs old & pregnant, she went to the grotto in Granard where she gave birth to a still born baby boy, she was found sometime later but died shortly after of hypothermia & blood loss. Her story shocked the country #speirgorm www.thejournal.ie/readme/ann-l...
