Lots of talk over the past few weeks about the representation of Irish female musicians in the Irish media and music scene.

So in case you’ve been living under a rock, here’s a thread of Irish musicians you should most definitely be listening to:

💗🎤🎼
1. Soulé. No introduction needed for this woman. She had an absolute killer year in 2018 ... no doubt 2019 will be even bigger

2. Aine Cahill. This absolute bop from Aine this year is probably one of my favourite songs from 2018

@AineCahillMusic

3. Erica Cody. This woman is the ultimate Irish popstar in my eyes

4. Orla Gartland. So unbelievably happy this woman is back releasing music. I think nearly everyone has been following her journey online for years now

5. LAOISE. Only discovered this pop angel this year ... but my god she knows how to release a bop.

6. Ailbhe Reddy. Hi, someone please give me this woman’s vocal chords. My WORD!

7. Wyvern Lingo. Listen to the sweet harmonies of 3 angels.

8. Fí. I’ve watched this lovely lady throughout her musical career and she is going from strength to strength. And she can write a good bop.

9. Gabrielle Aplin. An honorary Irish artist in my eyes .... and Miss You will always be my jam.

10. Roisin O. Throwing it back to one of her solo tracks; this lady is a role model for Irish female musicians.

11. Eve Belle. Discovered Eve Belle this year also. Unbelievable talent from someone so young: she already has some massive gigs under her belt ... i.e supporting bleedin’ Hozier.

12. Emma Langford. Gigging queen with the voice of an actual real life angel. Not to mention a fantastic mentor for anyone starting out in the industry.

@ELangfordMusic

13. Ruthanne. If you’ve ever had a favourite song in the pop charts; chances are Ruthanne wrote it. But she’s releasing some deadly bits in her solo career

This bullshit politically charged and biased to all hell report about right-wing YouTubers is a thing you can read datasociety.net/output/alterna…
Complete with a creepy as fuck map
The agenda of "Alternative Influence Broadcasting the Reactionary Right on YouTube" author, Rebecca Lewis, is to kickstart a new media blitz for deplatforming right-wing YouTubers under the ominous "EXTREMISM" brush.

Keep the author's intentions in mind as you read the report.

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."

25 years ago today, something happened here at 214 W Burnside. And it kinda freaked #Portland the fuck out.
Of course - 25 years ago, the place looked quite a bit different... It was called the X-Ray Cafe.
(It wasn't really established in 1890. That's some silly shit...)

A FEW WEEKS LATER...

a child at the daycare: hobi hyung, where's that friend of yours that visited once?

hoseok: what friend?

child: blonde hair, got grumpy when you called him "cute"

hoseok: i don't have a friend like that...

to be continued...

#btsoutcast #BTSoutcastD5
...

child: are you sure?

hoseok: ... doesn't ring a bell.

(the child grins up at hoseok)

child: well i liked him. he told us not to tell you, but he helped us put all our toys away while you were out.

hoseok: oh yeah, and why'd he do that?

(hoseok bends down w/ a smile)
child: because he said you'd tease him!

hoseok looks at the boy with a sad smile, unable to recall a friend with that description. he opts towards playing along with the child instead-- the child who so eagerly tries to convince hoseok that a friend like that once existed.

Over the past few weeks we learned the UN resolution against Israeli settlements was at center of Flynn guilty plea. Puts this deleted #darkpost #darkads from an org heavily-backed by Sheldon Adelson in new light [THREAD]
This #darkpost from the Republican Jewish Coalition ran 12/26 -- it is the only dark post, & likely the only ad they've ever run. They have since either deleted the ad or deleted the Facebook Business Manager account they used.
This is the permalink to the now deleted RJC dark post: facebook.com/10153919615676…

This is a story about toxic friendships, and leaving those who do not help us grow. #Thread
In the past few weeks, I've had so many conversations about this topic. I just want to highlight toxic 'support member' culture.
One of my friends was complaining about their circle of friends, how one of them was a liar and a cheat, but noone was speaking up about it.
