Millions of our books have been used to train generative AI without asking us, the writers. Here's the Irish Writers Union representing and fight for our rights... @KidsBooksIrel

That's terrible. ❤️
Did you know if you go to an adult hospital in an emergency with a small person who happens to have an intellectual disability they may not have a sats probe to fit. If your young person has any issue that needs monitoring this is dangerous. @HSELive @NPQD_CHB @stjamesdublin
Moving over to Bluesky... Hope to see you there!

I'm glad @rtenews have taken up the issue of Meta's AI training and the piracy of the works of Irish writers:

There is huge discrimination in Ireland against people with disabilities, intellectual & physical, in healthcare, education, employment, housing, advocacy, in every way possible. Access, transport, toileting, parking spaces, disability allowance & indirectly carer’s allowance.

“Get up and report the news… please, speak.”
🚨A heartbreaking farewell from the father of journalist Mohammed Mansour, killed by the Israeli army.
In the end, the grieving father could only say, “I wish I were the journalist instead of you.”
The Government Media Office in Gaza reports that the number of journalists killed by Israel in Gaza has risen to 207, following the death of journalist Mohammed Mansour.

Had a fab evening at the @WritersUnion_ie networking event in Drogheda library yesterday evening!
Lovely to meet so many wonderful writers!
(A bonus was to catch a sneak peek at the bookshelves - only two of my books left on the shelves!) #writerslife #WritingCommmunity

When candidates call to your door ask them what they’ll do for people with disabilities, for the vulnerable, for the elderly, for carers, for people who are ill, for mental health, for the homeless …

A wonderful, heartening evening full of hope. Beautiful readings from @PaulaJMeehan, Iggy mcGovern, & esp @CarolineStockf1 who read some of İlhan’s words in Turkish. Moving insight into the work of @pen_int and the role of a McKenzie friend moderated @DunneCatherine @PENIreland

Today the Irish government announced an increase in #plr payments. Of course any increase to the fund is welcome, but when you consider that the pool for PLR in 2009 was €350,000 and is just €240,000 today you can see why @WritersUnion_ie consider this derisory.
