"Then one day you stumble across an article by someone your age, from your area, who just hits it spot on..." @MWilkinson168 reflects on the writing of journalist Lyra McKee, who was killed last night in Derry. flybythosenets.com/blog/2019/4/19…
"The female adolescent is a source of constant ridicule for the media and society but #Milkman and #DerryGirls empower these voices and make their experiences valid amongst a canon filled with male experiences." - @V_toriaJohnston flybythosenets.com/blog/2019/4/9/…
21 years after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, the burden of changing things in Northern Ireland has fallen on the Post-Troubles Generation. @ainemagu says that is reason for hope. "Northern Ireland deserves hope." From 2017: flybythosenets.com/blog/2017/10/2…
On the 21st anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, here's @ConnollyWasGood on what it was like growing up in its aftermath. From 2018: flybythosenets.com/blog/2018/1/27…
The Good Friday Agreement was signed 21 years ago today and each big anniversary comes and goes. There's the expectation that the so-called Good Friday generation will save us all. Here's @AndrewRPope explaining why that is unhelpful. From 2018: flybythosenets.com/blog/of-course…
"I found myself increasingly drawn to #Milkman and #DerryGirls having just entered my 20s, the memories and mistakes of being a teenager still clearly etched in my mind." - @V_toriaJohnston flybythosenets.com/blog/2019/4/9/…
Andrea Leadsom's comments about pupils being "exposed" to LGBT education only entrench the idea that same sex relationships and attraction are inherently adult, explicitly sexual, and something to be hidden from children. Our latest, by @rebtool: flybythosenets.com/blog/2019/3/20…
"This is climate breakdown Leo, and we can’t delay any further. The market gods will not save you." @wjor87 writes on the Climate Strike protests and government inaction on climate change. flybythosenets.com/blog/2019/3/14…
"I read books about Australian girls and watched shows about teenagers in Bristol and California. I didn’t come across a single piece of media that I really saw my teenage self in until #DerryGirls." - @Rachelagain It's baaack! flybythosenets.com/blog/uppa-derr…
A year has passed since this article from @GamestopDoritos. With the stats on suicide from Q1 & Q2 of 2018 showing 158 deaths, it's likely that over 300 people have died in the time between now and when this was first published. nisra.gov.uk/publications/r…
A Northern Irish friend once said to me "the most important thing to understand about Northern Ireland is that almost everyone is either suffering from PTSD, or caring for someone who is." This important piece on suicide rates there underlines that. x.com/flybymagazine/…
Waaay more fart jokes when there are kids involved. We're all for it. vice.com/en_uk/article/…
Scenes from Belfast City Hall as a small but vocal crowd of school children gathered to demand action on climate change. #schoolstrike4climate
Celebrate Ireland's newest love story this #ValentinesDay! Here's @GPDoran's latest piece on the younger voices being ignored in the SDLP. flybythosenets.com/blog/2019/2/13…
Now that the dust has settled on that whole @SDLPlive / @fiannafailparty thing, maybe it's time we listened to the young people caught up in it all? flybythosenets.com/blog/2019/2/13…
New opportunity from @YPLCNI! They are running an international youth exchange in Spain and Germany this summer for young people aged 16–19 from Northern Ireland. Apply below! Oh and be sure to share this with anyone who might be interested... flybythosenets.com/opportunities
So @GPDoran has weighed in on the SDLP's merger with Fianna Fáil. He says we should be listening to the younger voices within the party, but what do you reckon? flybythosenets.com/blog/2019/2/13…
"The beauty of the #FridaysForFuture idea is that each #ClimateStrike doesn’t have to be huge on its own, it can be a series of small strikes every week that lead up to something bigger." So tell us what you've got planned! flybythosenets.com/blog/2019/2/12…
Pupils inspired by @GretaThunberg are going on #ClimateStrike this Friday! ✊ What do you think? #FridaysForFuture #SchoolStrike4Climate @Strike4Youth flybythosenets.com/blog/2019/2/12…
