#OTD in 1807 – Birth of James Fintan Lalor in Raheen, Co Laois.
“Any man who tells you that an act of armed resistance—even if offered by 10 men armed with stones—any man who tells you that such an act of resistance is premature, imprudent or dangerous— any and every such man should at once be spurned, spat at. For remark you this and recollect it, that somewhere, and somehow, and by somebody a beginning must be made, and that the first act of resistance is…

Not to bring on any election fatigue but the general election here in Ireland is about to be called on Friday Nov 8th (likely for Nov 29th) and I just want to share some important information and the links with regard to postal votes, new voters & change of address registration dates as this is going to be a really short campaign, some deadlines are THIS Friday.
ALT in images, links posted below
New voter registration
The other Forms mentioned
*Gavan Reilly is a Virgin Media News political correspondent, I'm just sharing to get as many eyes as possible cause these cut off dates are really short notice
#GE 2024#ireland#general election#This was a terrible time to post this lol so I will reblog in the morning too#Literally I just don't want anyone especially young voters to get caught out by the very quick turn around on the dates

#OTD in 1875 – John Mitchell returns from America one day after being elected MP for Tipperary.
Mitchel’s election was deemed invalid as he was a convicted felon for his activities with the Young Ireland movement. In poor health, he would die weeks later on 20th March. Mitchel wrote for The Nation and was founder of The United Irishman newspaper which openly preached rebellion against England returns to Ireland. Convicted of treason in 1848, Mitchel was sentenced to fourteen years’…

Molly using her harp as a refuge and a coping mechanism is something I don't talk about but really should
#hetalia#hetalia headcanons#hws ireland#nyo!ireland#like the one piece of your identity that (although somewhat contextually changed) you are allowed to keep without backlash#you'd cling to it too#she'd have learned it from a very young age as well considering children were typically apprenticed by 7 at the latest to learn#it's also shocking to people at points because it's so oddly gentle for her?#like not that she isn't capable of being gentle or soft#but that people associate her more with going out to fiddle and party#which is a thing too!#but then they catch her in these little moments plucking away an o'carolan tune and she's so oddly calm#and i think it catches them off guard

Films good movies good banshees of inisherin was good
#mfw a movie has irish slang in it and i am familiar with it instead of usamerican stuff#i have Some Thoughts on the setting of inisherin + the time period given the givens abt the aran islands#but nothing concrete. might meditate on it#like ok im no scholar on the aran islands ive been there a couple times ive read a couple articles thats it#but like. the tourism leaning into their image of Old Irish Villagín With Sheeps And Stone Walls basically overruns its reputation#and the islands have leaned hard into the tourism and portraying themselves as True Irish Old Villages or whatever#and thus settles the situation where like. everything about the islands pander to the tourists#the islands themselves are not doing well as places to live iirc#aging population people moving away lack of amenities and funding and resources that arent Tourism#its a gaeltacht but the tourism business mandates knowing english etc etc etc lotsa shit#like i had a school friend from an island and she was always unreachable on breaks bcos the island didnt have wifi#SO! the islands around ireland suffer from lack of facilities while bending to tourism bcos they gotta#BACK 2 BANSHEES to be clear inisherin isnt an actual island but it was filmed on inish mór and very clearly based on the arans#i like the island setting bcos of the sense of isolation it gives i think it was a good choice for the movie#HOWEVER its like. you know the thing where all irish media needs to be set in the old times#when we were all wearing aran wool jumpers and playing our little instruments and being cute historical dotes#yeah. that. compounded with the aran islands wicked having to play into that in the present day#like banshees itself isnt that bad an offender. the island setting just makes it more obvious and you could tick lines off on a bingo sheet#(shoutout to the obligatory civil war reference)#where was i going with this. im tired of weird 'back when ireland was ireland' shit being Thee thing to make art abt#this is why young offenders is the best piece of irish cinema this decade. i need to rewatch the young offenders

This is the dumbest thing ever, but sometimes I feel bad for the fact that the shinners have never had any years in government, because one of my favourite people in the world follows sinn fein so I subconsciously get sad about their failures because maybe its funny when the shinners do bad but what about MY shinner.
