Friendly reminder that the Irish struggle and the Palestinian struggle are directly interconnected and that if you celebrate your Irish heritage during st paddys without also bringing attention to the ongoing genocide and occupation in Palestine, you’re both a hypocrite and and asshole. Following the British occupation in Ireland, the black and tans (the military police force instated to keep the Irish in line following the “famine” and Irish rebellious sentiment) were sent to do the same thing in Palestine for the newly made Israel. Oppressors help other oppressors with tried and true methods of oppression. So yeah, this is a sign to unfollow me if you’re not for a free Palestine or if you are proud in your Irish heritage but still engage in acts of racism and oppression. You have donned the cloak of the oppressors and no longer have a right to claim that heritage. Ok thanks bye 🇵🇸❤️🇮🇪

#OTD in 1920 – The first ‘Black and Tans’ (auxiliary policemen) officially arrived in Ireland.
Although they would be operational for less than two years, the ‘Black and Tans’ would become one of the most reviled names in Irish history. The English recruits to the RIC were mainly the unemployed veterans of World War I. Their principal motivation: employment for ten shillings a day. When the first recruits arrived in Ireland on 25 March 1920, after three months of training, they looked like…

Reminder!!!!
During these tragic times, which I don't think any of us have seen before, I feel the need to say a few things,
1. Irish Rebellion songs go so fucking hard, always have, always fucking will
2. Drink responsibly (((don't drive drunk))) and some of us have work tomorrow, don't get too hungover

In Catonsville, MD: RESCUE!!! Very sweet, neutered, 4 yrs old Cujo is not at all like his name. This lab/rottie/shepherd is absolutely wonderful with children, strangers, other dogs and cats. A gentle giant at 104lbs, he is neutered and up to date on his rabies vaccination. He is super smart, house trained and knows some basic obedience. Cujo’s dog sitter describes him as the sweetest most lovable mushy boy. His person can no longer care for him. He is located in Catonsville. If you can help this great dog, please email [email protected] Thank you, Cynde

on the flip side of that Toxic Skincare Obsession post: I’m tired of seeing sun protection presented as another frivolous, unnecessary product of the patriarchy
“I’m going to sit in the sun with wine and enjoy it and fuck anti-aging products like SPF!” I mean yes normalize and celebrate people- especially women -not looking 22 forever but also

I get that calling white lotus lbh a sticky little 'sheep' is a canon translation and stuck in the fandom now anyway, but I do feel the intended spirit of the original word wasn't the sheeple/dumb herd animal that's more common in the western world, but instead something actually conveying sweetness, innocence, purity and youth - lamb.
Famous for being utterly adorable and following around their mothers, gambolling in sunny meadows, curly white wool shining.
And NOW we can talk about black sheep/wolf in sheep's clothing metaphors.
