There are dedications that warm my cold, dead heart ... and then there's the stuff that Michael Wehunt pulls off. It just rips my heart out and stitches it back together in the same moment. Thank you.

Those far-right accounts, circle like vultures to exploit the next tragedy, to make it fit into their perverse & hatefilled worldview. They don't care about working class communities, they never have, they simply want the attention so they can push even more division and hatred.

Happy Birthday Jeremy. “Patriotism is about supporting each other, not attacking someone else. It’s about loving your country enough to make it a place where nobody is homeless or hungry, held back or left behind.”

Me and my son have been sneaking out in the middle of the night in our Ewok and Chewbacca costumes just to mess with our neighbor's trail cams.

"Since David Cameron, there has been a very focused application of Beckett’s ‘fail better’ dictum. May, Johnson, the laughable/terrifying interregnum of Truss, Sunak and now Starmer, have all ultimately failed. "If they are following Beckett, they’re doing so by misunderstanding. When he wrote “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better”, there was a simple subtextual notice to learn from the mistakes. It appears that British prime ministers are reading ‘better’ as ‘more’. And boy, are they hitting that one hard." Read Paul McNamee: tinyurl.com/bp5wxvna

When UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Liam Neeson visited a class in Juba, South Sudan, the boys had a clear message. The girls in their school are smart. Strong. Full of ambition. But more than half of girls in the country are married before 18, ending their education dreams. Today, boys are speaking up to end child marriage and help keep girls in the classroom. Will you join them? #GirlGoals

Across ancient Europe the great Oak was bound to some of the continent’s most powerful deities 🌳⚡ To the Norse it was sacred to Thor, in Greece and Rome to Zeus and Jupiter, whilst among the Slavic peoples it belonged to Perun...all gods of storm and lightning. In Ireland, however the Oak was sacred to The Dagda of the Tuatha Dé Danann, a deity not so readily associated with thunder ⚡ Yet before battle with the Fomorians during the Battle of Moytura, the sorceress Brag threatened to bar The Dagda’s path by becoming a mighty Oak at every ford and mountain pass 🧙🏻🪄 The Dagda, however, replied that his axe would leave its mark upon every Oak forever and this could explain the deep furrows and scars etched into ancient Oak bark...or maybe The Dagda’s axe is the lightning that so often strikes these great trees and through time his assocation with the sky has been diminished ⌛

Today I met with King Charles at Hillsborough. I welcomed his continued efforts to promote positive relationships between our islands, and people of Irish and British traditions here. This included hosting Uachtarán na hÉireann Catherine Connolly yesterday, and attending a Fleadh Cheoil event today, recognising and celebrating the vibrancy of Irish culture and language. We all come from different lived experiences and perspectives, but that should never be a barrier to showing respect for each other’s views and identities. As your First Minister, I am committed to building a society rooted in respect and equality for every person. I will continue to do all I can to break down barriers and ensure our young people grow up in a better world than many of us did.
