I think I probably have a reputation among people I know as, that guy who never shuts up about Palestine. Palestine this, Palestine that, has he anything else to say for himself? And I get the impression, that I come across as someone who has been a supporter of Palestine for years, if not decades. … Continue reading How I Went From A Mess Of Thought Terminating Cliches To A Supporter Of Palestine

How To Pretend To Care About Palestinian Life
My friends, we all knew this dark day would come. I just didn’t think it would come so soon. Our Lord and Saviour, Bono, has stated that Nehenhayu has been very bold this year. If even the Crown Prince of Lethargic Centrism has offered a fairly mild criticism of Israel, then I’m afraid we may … Continue reading How To Pretend To Care About Palestinian Life
I Have Watched Almost All 889 Episodes Of Doctor Who, But I Won’t Be Watching The Next Episode
To say I love Doctor Who would be an understatement. I remember it being a constant feature in my house as a child, those constant U.K Gold reruns, but that's not when I got into it. I started watching it when, as is the case for many sci-fi fans, the revived series saw Christopher Eccleston … Continue reading I Have Watched Almost All 889 Episodes Of Doctor Who, But I Won’t Be Watching The Next Episode
Transphobia Is A Useless Distraction From Your Real Problems, Don’t Fall For It!
I remember, starting around 2020, it could have been before that but this is just when I became aware of it, trans people really started to become a target. It started as something I would witness from afar in Britain and the United States, but as the years went by, I would gradually meet Irish … Continue reading Transphobia Is A Useless Distraction From Your Real Problems, Don’t Fall For It!
It’s Almost That Time Of Year, Boycott The Goddamn Eurovision Again!
I'm not a fan of the Eurovision, but strangely, the beginning of my activism against the genocide of the Palestinian people began with the Eurovision. My first ever act of protest against the genocide was to write an email to RTE asking them to pull out of the Eurovision, in protest of Israel's participation. They … Continue reading It’s Almost That Time Of Year, Boycott The Goddamn Eurovision Again!
RFK Jr has a horrific illness, why do people have to be so mean?
I'm tired of all these people making fun of Robert F. Kennedy Jr! It's so horrible! The poor man, it must be a struggle, EVERY, SINGLE, DAY, for him, why have people got to be so callous and cruel!" No, I'm not talking about the fact that he has dystonia. I'm not talking about the … Continue reading RFK Jr has a horrific illness, why do people have to be so mean?
Does Ireland Support Palestine?
Ireland is famous as that country that really supports Palestine. Indeed, we've gotten the nickname "Paddystilians", because of it, intended as an insult of course, but many here in Ireland take it as a compliment. But, I think the question of whether or not Ireland is a good ally to the people of Palestine, is … Continue reading Does Ireland Support Palestine?
Pseudoscience, Ableism, and Callous Greed Led To the Horrific Death Of A Five Year Old Boy
I sometimes find myself grieving for those, who through horrific bad luck, live very short lives. If I hear a story about a teenager who dies of cancer, or a four year old killed in a house fire, or a young adult who dies by a brain aneurysm, I'll often be deeply upset, for the … Continue reading Pseudoscience, Ableism, and Callous Greed Led To the Horrific Death Of A Five Year Old Boy
Biden Was Horrific When It Came To Palestine, But It Doesn’t Follow That Trump Is Any Better
So, I could write many blogposts, and probably will, about the election of Trump at the end of 2024. The reason I haven't wrote about it so far is that, I don't even know where to start. Do I write about how I breathed a sigh of relief when Robert F Kennedy Jr, an advocate … Continue reading Biden Was Horrific When It Came To Palestine, But It Doesn’t Follow That Trump Is Any Better
