i love moomin-minded misabel! 🥹🫶

i think she felt pressured to lie about what she did, because she thought that being a maid wouldn’t live up to misabel’s high expectations?

whatever the reasoning, i’m glad they’re both feeling more free now :D

hell yeah, fair play to people for holding out! 🙌 it can’t be easy when farmers are getting compensated less and less for their labour, even though we don’t get food or clothes without farmers.

Eighty-six-year-old Mervin Raudabaugh, Jr., found a creative solution to end the pressure to sell two contiguous farms. He reportedly staved off developers by turning to “a farmland preservation program dedicating taxpayer dollars toward protecting agricultural resources.”

here’s hoping more people can do things like this to get data centre builders to back off! 🤞

go bunúsach, dúirt micheál martin “we’re all just trying to find the guy who did this” 🤦

for someone who hates pretending, she seems like a natural! :D

TIL that there are currently no plans to provide additional gaelscoileanna 😳

at a minimum, teachers & lecturers should be able to attend irish lessons for free, subsidised by the government.

if the government had any imagination or motivation, we could slowly transition all irish education into being irish-medium education after a few years of this.

it could start with all junior infants classes being conducted through irish, then all junior & senior infants classes the next year, etc all the way into university level eventually. that way, teachers & lecturers would have plenty of time to slowly work their way up in their irish-medium teaching ability.

ofc, it’d be nice to make all irish lessons subsidised by the government full stop, so that our native language isn’t kept behind a paywall, but making it free for educators is the least the government could do.

that petrol station doesn’t even have staff, so no one’s going to be out of a job because of it. 🤷

petrol companies should be excluded from making complaints about improved public transport anyway, they have an obvious reason to want everyone dependent on individual cars.

i don’t think any news anywhere in the world would be relevant to this community, but european colonialism is europe’s problem to deal with and stop continuing.

imo, yes. this is caused by:

• britain occupying palestine during world war 1,

• more europeans & USians of european descent occupying the area after world war 2, and

• funding of that occupation by europeans & USians of european descent to this day.

they’re so cute! 🫶💕 the hands and feet look like they’d be especially tough to knit, fair play!

the icon looks great! 🥳 i’m over here in ireland & also think protest frog is cool, lol.

being US-centric could be avoided by periodically changing the banner to show resistance in different places, maybe? it wouldn’t need to be on a schedule, just if there’s a similar moment, it could be highlighted via the banner

misabel does a great “wanderer above the sea of fog” impression here

you can always do that using your imagination, which as a handy little bonus, won’t make it any more difficult for you to eat food, drink water, and breathe air in future 🫠

oh to be more moomin-minded 🙂‍↕️💚

on-the-run activities: reading and knitting ✍️✍️

the developer of bad parenting has apparently been grooming 14-17 year old children on his discord.

there’s a google doc going around with more details/screenshots, and his game’s fandom site refers to him “dating” a 14 year old child.

this is a new account spamming multiple communities with ragebait & antisemitism, they’ll probably delete their account soon if they don’t get attention fast enough 🙄

this is a new ragebait account that’s spamming multiple communities with anti-semitic posts. they’re probably going to delete their account pretty soon, they just desperately want some attention first

but for now, he looks so happy with his li’l wagging tail! 🥹💚

go raibh míle maith agat!
