Happy to hear @conormurphysf plans to change the law in line with our court ruling. Even better knowing it has public support! We took our case to make change & recently learned the ❤️warming news there have been 1000 humanist ceremonies since ours. Congratulations to you all 🥂

BREAKING: New @LucidTalk poll shows 67% of respondents in Northern Ireland back assisted dying becoming legal for terminally ill or incurably suffering people. Pictured: @NIhumanists patron @LauraLacole, Humanists UK assisted dying rally, London. humanists.uk/2024/09/16/maj…

So cool to be invited to the U.S Embassy in London to celebrate World Humanist Day! A very inspiring evening hearing from US Chargé d’Affaires Matthew Palmer, @LordWajidKhan @pollytoynbee & @andrewcopson on the positive influence Humanism has had on the world. @USAinUK

What a rally! We had a fantastic turn out for our Assisted Dying Rally today in Parliament Square, London. Our message? It's about freedom of choice. It's about dignity, democracy, and acting for terminally ill and incurably suffering people. It's about compassion. Legalise assisted dying. It was really moving to stand shoulder to shoulder with over 100 of our members and supporters as the Westminster Hall debate unfolded. It's our hope that before long, compassion and dignity will prevail on this tragic issue.

Back on X after a while. Is X like a conspiracy and pseudoscience platform now? It’s looking really…. umm…. quirky.

At @NIhumanists event on assisted dying. A very important issue that I would encourage you to give thought to, if you haven’t already. If you were to become terminally ill and were suffering, would you not want the choice? We should all have the choice.

Does anybody have a contact at TikTok? I need help! 🤞🏻 @TikTokSupport @tiktok_uk

Lovely evening lastnight at @TheMACBelfast for the @WIMBelfast social. Great to hear from young talented journalists that will no doubt go far. Well done @AmandaFBelfast @Peter_u105 @IRLPatricia and all involved. @JawboxGin @McConnells_BDC

@chrissierussell @WIMBelfast @UlsterJournos Oh Chrissie! Wish I had of known you were there!

Lovely meeting some of the @UlsterJournos students at last night’s @WIMBelfast event. Have such fond memories of that Masters course (and it obviously served me well 😉)

@Humanists_UK @eunan10 @NIhumanists 6 years ago! 😆🤍

I'm absolutely holding back tears of pure emotion..... Pride, joy, shock, and utter appreciation to be mentioned by @POTUS in his speech this evening in Ballina. I'm absolutely speechless. Thank you so sincerely Mr. President.

'Humanism explains how I live my life. I don’t subscribe to a god. I live by the ethos of treating people well, a fair society, critical thinking, rational thought and kindness.' @LauraLacole @BelTel. Great interview with Laura, @Tim_Mc_Garry, & @BSleator m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/features/…

@LauraLacole @AmandaFBelfast For those wanting to read belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/features/…

@EllenMclean @BelTel @AmandaFBelfast Thanks so much Ellen! 🤍

Got my copy of the @BelTel today to see the Humanist piece. Thanks @AmandaFBelfast for featuring me! 🤍

“It’s not the same place it used to be. The generation beneath me is even more open minded and non-religious. Even openly discussing this is significant. Northern Ireland really is becoming quite progressive” @LauraLacole @NIhumanists belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/features/…

@IRLPatricia @AmandaFBelfast @BelTel 🤍

@IRLPatricia @BelTel @AmandaFBelfast It seems to have resonated with people which is great!

@EnnisSinead @AmandaFBelfast @BelTel @NIhumanists @BSleator @Tim_Mc_Garry Same here Sinéad. I’m raising my son to be a critical thinker and make his own choices based on evidence. That’s the idea anyway!

NEW from me @BelTel: ‘It has been a taboo in Northern Ireland to say out loud that you don’t believe in a god but increasingly people are identifying as not belonging to any religion.’ READ: belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/features/… #humanism @NIhumanists @BSleator @LauraLacole @Tim_Mc_Garry

Also, how many times can you say Northern Ireland in one video? Apparently a lot. For absolutely no reason 😆
