    Pause and think about this. This means that someone didn’t check the tent before a digger swept it away. Last night another man died in a tent in north Dublin city.
    The man underwent surgery at St Vincent's University Hospital for what are described as life-changing injuries rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

    If I hear another moan about what can a meal do to prevent Covid…. It's the managed space, the short time, the contact tracing, the table service, the space, the sanitisation, the small groups and the not getting pissed so you remember yer in the middle of a pandemic.

    A disabled host based in Ireland has been told by Airbnb that a guest review which says awful things about her disabilities and accessible home (which she doesn’t charge v much for) will be published since she can’t resolve her disability. The guests don’t like disabled people.

    And would this woman have a name? Of her own?

    Thanks to Dart driver who got out and put me on the dart this evening at Lansdowne. Apologies to other passengers delayed while we looked for the ramp. We need stations staffed properly for full access. @IrishRail

    And now for something a bit different.... looking forward to it. And if I get through the application process lots of other people can. Time for us to take places and be appointed.
    @suzybie has been appointed to the board of Irish Rail where she says she’ll be representing everyone, not just those with disabilities

    RTE would prefer if the last week was seen as the LGBTs getting offended at a few bad words and 'not up for debate' rather than a co-ordinated misinformation and hate campaign and them being played. Oireachtas committee needs to delve deeply.

    Here we go again with women being told they aren’t the right type of women - for those of us who have hormonal differences, infertility, intersex conditions or disabilities the policing of gender and obsession re what is a woman effects us hugely - the hate and lies continue

    30 years ago I was told I was a danger to other young people as I was a lesbian, we were hunted out of our jobs, country, our minds and lives. There was loads of crap re changing rooms/toilets and still is for many butch women. I too won’t tolerate it for trans people.

    A reminder that this does not mean that disabled people have won any rights today. We still represent a third of homeless people, have no rights to social care to live in community and no family carer or person supported are asked what support they wish to provide or receive.

    Replying to @suzybie
    The host is terminally ill and incredibly generous towards the guests given what they and Airbnb have put her through for the last month in insisting the review stands. I’ve been following on tiktok incredulous at the attitude of the company. vm.tiktok.com/ZMNn7gMPp/
