We don’t mince our words, when it comes to misogynist creeps; we women in Ireland have fought long and hard to have autonomy, and we won’t be giving it up lightly. Or as one female TD put it ‘He can fuck off’ #ConorMcGregor #President #IrlPol #MastoDaoine

Sky · 'Not a hope in hell': Irish politicians roundly reject Conor McGregor's presidential bid
Yohan and Yara, siblings of the 2024 'Y' litter spent their last free run together today.
They've already had a year of intense training. We lived about 10 minutes away from each other.
Yohan enters advanced guide dog training this week. Yara enters next week.
OK, OK, let’s do your stupid annual jetlagging of the nation. Particularly young kids.

Our last go through the shopping centre we've done our weekly training in. And our last goodbyes at the other centre which helps people with intellectual disability.
Yohan has now completed his year long training with me as his puppy raiser. We have one more event which is a fundraiser. Then he'll head in to big (guide dog) school.

...and if you can't make either launch event, and/or haven't pre-ordered, you can buy the book from Dubray online and instore - please do so rather than ordering from Amazon, as it helps benefit Irish books in the face of monopoly.

www.dubraybooks.ie · Wired Our Own Way - Dubray BooksWired Our Own Way: An Anthology of Irish Autistic Voices is the first collection of personal essays written by autistic Irish adults. One in twenty-seven Irish school children are now diagnosed as autistic, and autism is entering the general population's consciousness much louder than it did in the past. As understanding about autism spreads, more and more adults are now finding out that they are autistic. This anthology shines a light on how important autism identification is, and how the label of 'autism' can enhance ones self-understanding and self-compassion. Throughout this collection of essays, the writers highlight how the lived-experience of autism varies drastically from one autistic person to another, and show that there is no one way to be autistic. From meltdowns to mental health, from being diagnosed in early childhood to being diagnosed in late adulthood, from cultural perceptions of autism to employment, the essays explore the huge range of diversity within the autistic Irish experience.

Mask up @dublininquirer My only question is whether the Embassy of Japan has lodged a formal protest, yet.
Reminder: this anthology of Irish non-fiction from autistic writers, Wired Our Own Way, hits shelves at Dubray Books and the postboxes of people who preordered tomorrow, Friday March 28th, via New Island Books. Audiobook via Audible, Tuesday April 1st.
It's been a long journey for editor @niamhgarvey, assembling work from a variety of scribes, from hacks like me to new voices entirely; it's a beautiful cross-section of the autistic experience of Ireland.
