I wrote this article for @VICE - it’s about how the Gypsy, Roma & Traveller (#GRT) community is consistently mistreated - and the Manchester incident is just the surface. Big thank you to @yushyontherun for images! #GypsyRomaTraveller #IrishTraveller vice.com/en/article/gyp…

"Your heart is breaking for Israeli children, why isn't your heart breaking for Palestinian children?” a brilliant question , Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Greta Thunberg and 11 other activists have just been kidnapped under gunpoint by Israel while they were in international waters and attempting to peacefully & legally deliver life-saving aid to millions of Palestinians! Shame on the world for abetting this war crime!

🇮🇪🇵🇸| HERO: Irish MMA fighter Paddy McCorry beat the crap our of his Israeli rival. He celebrated his victory by raising the Palestinian flag in the ring. He shouted “free Palestine” & “f***k you baby killer” as he rained down punches.

🚨HUGE NEWS!🚨 After nearly two decades of campaigning by FFT, NHS England has finally called on health bodies to include Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller people in patient data—bringing records in line with the 2021 census! (1/3) gypsy-traveller.org/news/fft-welco…

@TheWoof_Grrr One bad experience doesn’t justify stereotyping a whole community. That is the problem - people’s “lived experience” often comes from bias, not balance. Media portrayals feed that.

@ShannonCJourno Travellers get what they give, the number of times i have seen or been victim of foul language from travellers at Motorway services demonstrates to me where the problem is. It isnt “tv portrayals” it is peoples lived experience.

Please read my article for Vice on our community and the recent events in Manchester. Your support is really appreciated ❤️ #viceuk #grt #gypsyromatraveller #irishtraveller

🔍 Working on a piece investigating the sharp rise in Gypsy, Roma & Traveller (#GRT) students entering #HigherEducation - but why are Roma stats still being aggregated into ‘Gypsy/Traveller’? We need clear, disaggregated data to drive equity. #EduData #RomaRights #JournoRequest

Biological essentialism is the antithesis of feminism. It has never served the interests of women- even those who are wealthy, white and heterosexual.

remember when being anti-feminist was the cool contrarian take in 2016? now we’re stuck explaining, again, that trans women are women — while the state chips away at their rights and calls it “clarity.” same hate, new target. nothing clever about it.

For #InternationalRomaDay: "When the powerful want to crush collective resistance, they will first teach us to fear each other." @Sounddelivery stands in solidarity with the #GRTcommunity and wants to amplify their voices in media representation. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/intern…

@mbaillie Thank you 💕 it needed to be written!

The UK’s Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller communities would like to visit Christmas markets without being herded 100 miles away on special police trains. Story by @ShannonCJourno, photos @yushyontherun vice.com/en/article/gyp…

Does anyone know any queer women part of the #IrishTraveller community that would be up for an interview for Nonchalant Magazine? It would be based on their experience as queer women in the community. Let me know! #GypsyRomaTraveller #TravellerPride #Journalism #LGBTQIA
