Pat Kenny looks f*cking great... what is he using? #PeterPan #LateLate

@NewstalkFM This was so heartbreaking. This woman is so distraught. I can't even imagine the pain of having to do, what she is doing, to try get her help. How has it come to this.

A mother of a young intellectually disabled woman has said she had no choice but to abandon her daughter in an emergency department. The mother, who asked to be called Anna, said she had no choice but to take drastic action because she feared for her own safety and that of her two younger children. On Lunchtime Live, Anna described her oldest daughter as “quite challenging” but had received little support from the State, despite repeated requests.

Have a listen to my time speaking with @TheFemCast on @Spotify open.spotify.com/episode/4gb5f0…

@NewstalkFM I am in floods 😭 listening to Anna. How has it come to this, that woman is so distraught and broken. What have we done to these two families and this young woman. Its truly heartbreaking. @HSELive do better.

Somatic Therapy is a revolutionary new method to reverse depression, anxiety and fatigue. It combines neuroscience, psychology and biology to rewire the brain. Here's what it is and how to do it: 🧵

Gabor Maté dedicated his life to curing childhood trauma. He once said: "The attempt to escape from pain is what creates more pain." As a father and social worker with 17 years guiding transformation… Here are his 5 lessons to rewire your brain and save yourself🧵

What if…

The work of The Ditch in exposing scandal after scandal, including criminality at the very top of Irish society, leading to resignations and convictions, is simply astounding. The Ditch is a shinning example of the power of journalism to do good. They’re legends. ❤️

'They were told not only did they not need the surgery, the child didn’t even have the condition. Didn’t even have the condition. Let that sink in. That is what is happening to the children of Ireland. And I say this: there is not enough urgency in government.'

@wereontheditch Of course they do!

🚨SENSITIVE🚨 Instagram considers our story about a flight carrying 150kg of replenishments for Israel's bombing of Gaza illegally passing through Irish airspace – hours after Israel killed more than 400 people – to be ‘Sensitive Content’ Full story below ⬇️

Regretting working outside the home: ‘We’re told to parent like we don’t work. And work like we don’t parent’ Parenting Taboos: The creche was the same as our mortgage. When I look at it now I think, ‘Jesus, how did we buy into it?’ irishtimes.com/health/your-fa…

A headline doing the rounds today..... this one by @irishexaminer

"I see no reason why somebody would need to read the therapy notes of a complainant in order to get a fair trial" @RuthCoppingerSP advocating for a ban on use of sexual violence survivor's counselling notes in court, pushing for a victim-centred approach thejournal.ie/policy-matters…

We live in a world where male violence and misogyny is driving women’s trauma and crises, no one will even name the true cause, no one will hold men accountable, no one will accept the levels of trauma and distress in women and girls’ lives, instead increasingly diagnosing them as mentally ill, hysterical, borderline and psychotic - but full headlines are written about men’s mental health being affected because someone said something they did gives them the ‘ick’. We might be on the same pitch, sisters, but we are playing by different rules. Our suffering means nothing. Their comfort means everything.

@DrProudman Congratulations on the book Charlotte.

The cruelty of the State is repugnant. From challenging the rights of children to access mainstream education, to Hep C, to Joanne Hayes’s compensation for a misogynyistic crucifixion, to the Cervical Check women, and now to the Air Corps. None of this is in my name. #RTÉUpfront

The final day of our @STEMPassport graduations happened @Microsoftirl today. It was a tearful day 4 years ago I had an idea...4 years later a total of 5000 DEIS students have graduated with a stem qualification & met a mentor. We are about supporting excellence, not charity!

Nearly five years on from the Govt’s VAWG strategy, yet real change is still missing. We need action, not words. Women & children deserve safety, not just promises. It’s time for a fully funded, accountable strategy to tackle VAWG. This is a national emergency—where’s the plan?
