On the fridge door?
Or in the bin?
Only YOU can decide.

TENI launched a video on legal gender recognition yesterday to correspond with the introduction of the Gender Recognition Bill into the Seanad. Trans people need to be at the centre of this debate, and trans voices need to be heard.
Positive visibility is at the core of what TENI does. We know that by telling our own stories we can change the hearts and minds of Irish society. We need legislation that reflects our lived realities.
What you may need to know:
1. After a one night stand, Jay (Maika Monroe) discovers that her partner has transferred a sinister presence onto her that will follow her relentlessly unless she can pass it on to someone else…
2. …Like gonorrhoea. Or genital herpes. “It” seems like a not-so-subtle allegory for an STD. Remember kids: Always use protection.
3. It Follows premiered at Cannes last year and has been getting pretty great reviews.
4. Between this, The Babadook (2015) and Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Crimson Peak (2015), it’s a good time for horror. Good riddance to bad found footage.
5. Monroe last appeared in The Guest, last year’s sleeper hit that proved that you should never judge a movie by the poster.

Release Date: February 27.

“Is it just me or was the silly-looned gent at the back a bit greedy when the meat and two veg/twig and berries/family jewels/, etc. were being handed out? I call fake on his obscene package….
FIGHT!

And other gear!
Further to outrage at ‘Selfie smart poles’.

Mobile Fun, the online mobile accessory retailer would like to give ONE Broadsheet reader the following: A Olixar Qi-Tone Alarm Clock; Olixar X2 Pro Bluetooth Stereo Headphones; PowerCard Ultra; Slim Credit Card Sized Power Bank; Lightning and Micro USB Charge and Sync Key Chain And a Olixar Selfie Smart Pole for Android and Apple Devices
A total Value of €210.45. THREE runners Up will get a Olixar Boombrick Wireless Bluetooth Speaker. To enter, Just complete this sentence: ‘I deserve all this gear particularly this week because__________________________’
Lines MUST close at 1.45pm
UPDATE:
Runners up:
Russell Steed: “I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I have a massive head and really short arms, my selfie game is poor. Also, come on! It’s my birthday!”
Achille:‘I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I’ve just been made redundant and I’m very hungover’
3. Caitlin K:
“I deserve all this gear particularly this week, because it would leave me looking so sheek.
My mates would be jealous of my top of range gear, a techie windfall, the nation would hear!
An alarm clock and headphones, the perfect pair, to wake up the other half, then give a smug stare,
Rolling over for a snooze, powered up to the gills, time for a selfie while she is stood still,
From the background she looks, at my tech laden pile, I set up the stick and ask her to smile!
She’s late for work, and has to run, while I stay at home and have mobile fun!”
The Winner:
ZeligIsJaded: “I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I slept in today after staying over at my GF’s due to a poor alarm on my phone, and when I finally awoke one of my arms was dead from sleeping on it. Finding myself in such a situation, I wanted to take a selfie and tweet it to the world because they’re interested in that kind of thing, but with my arm so numb, I had to wait for it to recover. By the time it did, my phone’s battery was dead, and I had no way to charge it as my only charger is too bulky to carry around. I’d promised my girlfriend I’d move her car to avoid clampers, but was too late. When I told her what happened she didn’t believe me, and I had no selfie to prove it. The whole morning was a disaster, all because I didn’t have an Olixar Qi-Tone Alarm Clock, a PowerCard Ultra, a Slim Credit Card Sized Power Bank, a Lightning and Micro USB Charge and Sync Key Chain and a Olixar Selfie Smart Pole. The bluetooth headphones would just be a bonus tbh”
Thanks all
Update:
We intend having a ‘qiuet word’ with MobileFun (see if there’s any spare bluetooths knocking about) for the following entrants: because they made Karl us cry…
Jimmy the Head: “I deserve all this gear particularly this week because… its genuinely my 33rd birthday on Sunday, booked Monday off work and would love to spend the day taking duckface selfies with the dog on Dollymount beach (will post a photo if I win)”
Shiela: “I deserve all this gear particularly this week because going into hospital on Monday for an op… poor me :’( Nothing serious, run of the mill procedure etc… prepare for the shitty hospital food pics – its a disgrace Joe :D
Tk Ickle: “I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I am “recovering” after being hit by a van while cycling to work. I believe it’s called being T-boned :( Considering the amount of traffic, including buses, that past while I was sprawled out on the road, I was quite surprised a pic of me didn’t end up on here. I could really use a power bank too.”
Prizw winners will be contacted by email.
