Let's talk about buses in Rathmines...

Bus Connects is not just about more frequent and more reliable bus services, it is also about safer places to walk and to cycle. We in the Green Party want to invest €10bn in capital infrastructure for public transport in the next Dáil. If you want to see these projects happen, Vote Green, Choose Chu!

On Friday 29th November, the people of Ireland will vote in a General Election. I am running as the Green Party candidate for Dublin Bay South and I am asking for your number 1 vote.

The Green Party wants to continue with the work that we have being doing over the last four and half years to fight climate change and biodiversity loss and we need your help to do that.

Choose a Green Voice for Dublin Bay South. Choose Hazel Chu!

Continued thread

Meanwhile this has put the cat among the pigeons in my own constituency. Kate O'Connell running as an independent changes the whole dynamic of the election and makes it even more unpredictable. #irpol #DBS #GE24

Three sitting TDs and three other high profile candidates vying for just four seats:
Chris Andrews TD (SF)
Ivana Bačik TD (Lab)
Jim O'Callaghan TD (FF)
Cllr James Geoghegan, Lord Mayor of Dublin (FG)

Kate O'Connell, former FG TD (Ind)

Irish Independent · Kate O’Connell snubs Simon Harris for election solo run as she can’t excuse ‘wastage of public money’By Fionnán Sheahan

I just had to fill in an online #DBS form (This is a government-run website by the way) and it, was, shit! The #accessibility of the page was disgustingly bad.
On-click combo boxes for date pickers, edit fields that are read-only, areas you can't tab out of, no idea how you do this if you're purely a keyboard user, luckily #NVDA got me through the process but that was one time I actively went looking for an accessible version and I didn't find one. Know what I did find though? Their so-called 'accessibility statement' down the bottom, and it reads like corporate tripe and a load of old waffly bullshit of the highest order.
I don't know the last time a website pissed me off and almost stumped me in such equal measure.

@jahleesu I have , and I often feel this way. I’ve literally had brain surgery because my condition had gotten to the point where my freezing had become a major issue, generally not moving for long periods of time, and I couldn't enjoy my time with my family.

I still felt like I was being lazy. I still thought, maybe I don’t even have Parkinson’s. My wife says, “fakers" wouldn’t likely ever feel that way. With a sadistic work culture, it’s hard to accept we aren’t malingering.

I’m really looking forward to meeting my new neurologist this week. He’s affiliated with the university so I’m hoping he’ll have some new/different programming techniques for my deep brain stimulator that work or failing that will be aware of some medications that are effective for the essential tremors I have. I’m guardedly optimistic. If there’s anything I’ve learned it’s the importance of expectations management. I’m sure I’ll have something to report later this week.

A bit about my for and others:

I was diagnosed with in 2011, by 2020 meds were maxed, movement, balance, speech, rigidity and dystonia made it difficult to enjoy life. People think tremor; it’s the least of problems.

was a relief. Brain surgery is scary. I had to be conscious, but it was'nt painful. Moving the probes and adjusting power changed my me from complete constriction to rubber. But we found a happy medium in each limb.

Each is different.
