Every Irish queer, woman and outcast is surely feeling Sinéad’s passing tonight.
Back in 2017 when I worked for TENI we got a call from her management asking could she donate her closet to us to as she was downsizing and wanted the clothes to go to trans folk in need.
An icon.
The lack of empathy and regard for privacy in Ciara’s replies thread… The photos are belittling. Idc if the subjects were out in public and you think that’s free rein territory. The photographic intent here is to shame/dehumanize (otherwise, faces wouldn’t be poorly blurred).
Today I was told to put a wrapped tampon away (my partner cleaned out my backpack and the left items inside on a window ledge) because a 13 year old boy would “start asking questions” or potentially “mistake it for chocolate” …why does a teen boy not know what tampons are…
Finally blessed by the cat distribution system when I spotted this little girl & pulled her out of a car engine by the beach. But wasn’t allowed to keep her (my villain arc).
Dropped her at a vet centre for care. I really hope she’ll find a loving home. She was named Figgy!
I cut off contact with one of my parents last year for my safety and my sanity.
I still love them. I care about them despite all. So hearing they’re in poor health/not doing well—I want to reach out. But I know exactly what that would bring and it feels like anticipatory grief.
