Lisa Wilkinson, of well-being centre the elbowroom, in Stoneybatter, Dublin 7, writes:
In support of the women of Ireland and to highlight our commitment to women-centered health care, The elbowroom will be supporting its staff’s decision to strike on the 8th of March. This means the centre will be closed for the day, re-opening on Thursday the 9th March.
We are doing this because the Irish Government still has not called a referendum to repeal the 8th Amendment.
The elbowroom will open it’s doors on the day to campaigners and supporters of the Repeal The 8th movement…Soup and tea will be served between 1 pm and 3 pm. All those who support the initiative are welcome.
The elbowroom will be closed on the 8th March – Strike4Repeal (The elbowroom)
Previously: Black Flu
yay!
So it’s closing its doors but opening them on the day? That’s a grand strike, so it is, a grand snowflake strike altogether.
Yawn.
If the place that has “striking” workers actually closes because they support and agree with the workers, then its just closed, That’s not a strike.
Hey, in a completely unrelated (though no less important) topic, how do I change my avatar? I’ve actually forgotten how…
It’s related. One could say you’re repealing your current avatar. You’ve to do it in WordPress, as far as I can remember.
#repealtheavatar #thankyousmith
You may have it on a Gravatar account, which is the kind of account one might forget is there… as I have done. And you can change it there….
Thanks Clampers! That’s exactly the one I was looking for!
Couldn’t for the life of me remember the name of the website. I have mondaybrain. It’s contagious.
I hear ya :)
or aborting her avatar?
Ridiculous idea.
Ironically, you can choose not to take part.
Solidarity!
March 8 is actually an international strike day, not just for Repeal in Ireland. Women, globally, striking for their rights. \m/
I don’t know why, exactly, but this makes me think of when years ago my Mum told me about this guy who rang up the Late Late Show when they were having a discussion about the highly controversial topic of women going out to work, and he complained to Gay about being left at home to mind the babies and ‘change the shihhy nappies.’
Sorry, I’m busy making placards that day…..
* Goes back to scrawling… “George Soros is cool” placard *
soros pays female protestors 30% less than male protestors. everybody says it.
And I read it on the internets so it most be true. When are we protesting oh great Star of the left!
Tell me when and with whom to show my outrage, I am with you in the collective…. *fist salute*
Making? Did you not get your Protest Pack from George yet?
I find Cornflake boxes make the best snowflake placards… all limp and bendy with the wind of conversation from the masses.
So it’s not a strike then? With employers welcoming their staff”s decision not to work.
+1
….more LOLs !
The Elbowroom virtue singal is strong.
…unlike my spelling today.
“women-centered health care”…jeepers, most of my so-called “male” friends would have to be in dire straits before they admit they need to use the health system!
