What a voice!

Lord Mayor of #Cork Cllr Kieran McCarthy has hilarious response when confronted by far right agitators: he used the power of #musicalTheatre.

The far right agitators, who have been harassing library staff for months, accosted him on the street recently

The ones behind the harassment have been linked to British #farRight groups who have targeted immigrants including the Irish community in London + other areas

Organisers behind the "family-friendly" festival are reportedly linked to far-right conspiracy theories, anti-COVID ideologies and anti-LGBTQ+ protests. #FashFest #FarRight #EcoFascism #AltRight #Ireland

Anti-LGBTQ protests at Cork City Library aim to promote misinformation and fear and are not truly peaceful, according to a Cork City Councillor.

It’s frightening to see segments of Irish society appease the irrationalities of a loud minority whose tactics are underpinned by conspiratorial belief and fascist tendencies. We are better than this and stronger than this and we must continue to push back at every given opportunity.

Happy Photography Friday folx.

Usually for PF I upload a landscape or two, however today I share with you three amazing queer humans from the recent Daylesford Chill Out Festival Pride March.

I've had the pleasure of hanging out with two of them on numerous occasions - Sally Goldner and Dolly Diamond and have been enriched by their humour and humanity. I am sure that the 78er I have photographed would be no exception.

As many of you in Naarm (and across so called Australia) would know, Sally is a tireless freedom fighter for trans rights and human equality. Yet she is tired, she is asking, like all trans people, that humans outside the trans experience step up not by saying you're an ally, but by doing.

Doing the writing to local, state and federal politicians; doing the marches when and where you can; doing the community involvement; doing the hard yards by talking to colleagues and friends and maybe having uncomfortable conversations. Doing anything and everything that needs to be done.

Because it's the right thing to do. Because we're all human beings on this big beautiful planet. Because to do less would be to deny yourself of meaningful human experiences. Because we're all different, and that's wonderful.

@Gerz There's hardly been a stampede of all these other "celebrities" who like to parade their left-wing credentials around, has there? I guess they still want to work for the BBC. Even though they're already loaded. #TeamLineker #StandUpToFascism

A proud day for Ireland!

We stand in solidarity to immigrants and asylum seekers 💚🤍🧡

Then they laugh at you
Then they fight you

@KestrelSWard Thanks! Half a million workers are on strike here today, thousands more are staying home to facilitate their colleagues' walk-outs, and there are kids as young as 8 on the picket line. Central London is at a standstill because of a march. You'll start a critical mass eventually, don't give up! #WeAreThe99% #Solidarity #JoinAUnion #GeneralStrike #HumanRights #StandUpToFascism

@Calltoactivism fled and not looking back. For anyone with a foot on each platform make an impact by shutting down your birdsite account. Hit Elmo where it hurts (ad revenue). Let it become parler 2.0. While we’re at it, download the Goods Unite us app and spend accordingly. Yes, it’s a PITA but I sleep better when I know I’m minimizing my spending dollars funding these ghouls. #boycott #Insurrectionists #stophate #standuptofascism

@adamgreenfield yep, having been born in a dictatorship and lived how bad things can get, and in the recent years seeing the fash come out of the shadows in so many places, definitely pushed me to be even more outspoken. #StandUpToFascism ✊️💖✨️
