In Ireland Today #Right2Water Protest, So Many Things I Feel Weird About

I’ll be honest. I wasn’t planning on going to the protest until when on a luas into town, half the country got on at Heuston station and I thought, Ok, let’s go have a look.

"Wheeee!"

"Wait, is it… doing cartwheels across the desert?”

"I am such an idiot."

"What do you mean, evolution?"

#Church in Chains

I am not Ukrainian

You may have seen this video on your facebook page about what’s happening in Ukraine and why. You may have shared it so other people know. I watched it and didn’t know what to do.
