Been using this quote a lot since yesterday.

James Connolly was executed by crown forces in 1916. Despite a doctor saying he had two days at the most to live due to injuries sustained during the Easter Rising, he was brought by military ambulance to Kilmainham Gaol where he had to be tied to a chair to be shot, because he couldn’t stand. He was then dumped in a mass grave with the other executed leaders.

Studying colonial irish history is like. ok here is a thing that happened in ireland and killed a frightening number of people. it was caused by a natural and unpredictable phenomenon which also hit the rest of europe, but outside factors meant that it killed several times more people and led to much more general misery in ireland. and by "outside factors" well. let's jusr say. the british government

The charitable interpretation of the law passed in the British Parliament today, an amnesty for all crimes committed by both paramilitary groups and British soldiers over the course of the Troubles, is this:

It is perfectly fine for British soldiers to murder innocent civilians, citizens of the United Kingdom. They will not be investigated for it. They will be given amnesty. They will face no justice.

That is the charitable interpretation. That is giving them the benefit of the doubt.

That is assuming they see the people they murdered as fellow British, and not something other and lesser than British. That this is a rule for all British citizens, and not an exception made for a certain group. That it's okay if members of that group died.

The charitable explanation is a chilling indictment of the British Government. The other explanation was British policy for eight hundred years.

I kinda hoped it had stopped being British Policy.

Plastic Paddies haven't got a clue because all they see is freckled gingers playing deedle eye music living in thatch huts marvelling over the wonders of a modern day car.

The Irish people stand with Palestine, our history is one of oppression, destruction of culture, and genocide too. And our genocide is a joke to people nowadays, perhaps we should have been less surprised at how the world is treating Palestine.

https://gcn.ie/queer-women-irish-revolution-tg4-documentary/

Directed by Ciara Hyland, Croíthe Radacacha (Radical Hearts) is a feature documentary that explores the hidden stories of eight female couples who were at the core of the Easter Rising and the fight to free Ireland from the British Empire.

Featuring contributions from prominent LGBTQ+ activists and academics such as Ailbhe Smyth, Ciara Ní É and Eoin McEvoy (founders of LGBTQ+ Irish Language group Aerach Aiteach Gaelach), this in-depth exploration promises to refocus how we perceive these women and their contributions to the Irish revolution.

Croíthe Radacacha will air on Wednesday, December 6, at 9:30pm on TG4.

For anyone wondering, TG4 have a free online player which usually has subtitles in English. The player is also available outside Ireland.

There's a new documentary Croíthe Radacacha (Radical Hearts) set to air on TG4 on December 6th about the many lesbian couples who were involved in the 1916 Rising and The Irish War of Independence. I'm so excited because this is such a neglected part of Irish history and something like this has been my dream!

It's to include Eva Gore Booth & Esther Roper; Elizabeth O' Farrell & Julia Grenan; Helena Molony & Evelyn O’Brien; Margaret Skinnider & Nora O’Keeffe; Kathleen O’Brennan & Marie Equi; Kathleen Lynn & Madeline Ffrench-Mullen and Louie Bennet & Helen Chenevix.
