‘Each orgasm I experienced for money shattered three decades of conditioning regarding the meaning of work and play’In her new book Subjectified, sexologist Suzannah Weiss recalls a youth spent feeling disempowered and disconnected from her body, and how she learned to reclaim her own sexuality, independent of the male gazeSuzannah Weiss: ‘Sex workers are often scapegoated despite so many of us doing stuff for money that we don’t like’Suzanne Harrington Today at 03:30When Suzannah Weiss was 13, she began to realise that her body, changing through puberty, no longer belonged to just her. It had become something more public. Objectified. Boys at school would admire specific aspects of it (“nice ass”), while an older man noted she looked “developed” and her dad began telling her to ease off desserts to “maintain her figure”.

Friedman: U.S. should stop aiding Israel’s failures in Gaza
The alternatives — Israel running Gaza or Gaza becoming another Somalia — are far worse. But until then, Israel would be crazy to want to stay in Gaza and be responsible for its reconstruction. Sadly, if all this war does is buy Israel another long timeout with Hamas, well, maybe that’s all that’s possible. After all, up to now, the real history of Jews and Palestinians, going back to the early 20th century, has been: war, timeout, war, timeout, war, timeout, war, timeout, war, timeout. Maybe one day that will change, but for now Israel needs to get the hell out of Gaza and back into a timeout.

Independent Ireland councillors unhappy after being “locked out” of power in new County Council
Local Independent Ireland councillors aren’t happy that they’ve been “locked out” of power in the new County Council, which meets for the first time tomorrow. They had been in talks with Fianna Fail for a pact that would’ve required the support of some independents and Sinn Fein. But now, it’s been revealed that Fianna Fail has entered a pact with Fine Gael instead – and despite already having a majority, it’s also taken on-board a number of independents. Speaking to Galway Talks, Independent Ireland Councillor Noel Thomas had this opinion on the abrupt about-face. The post Independent Ireland councillors unhappy after being “locked out” of power in new County Council appeared first on Galway Bay FM.

The best Irish songs of all time, numbers 40-31: featuring Fontaines DC, Denise Chaila, Aslan and the Cranberries
Many readers had the same response: do the same for Irish songs. Sorry Morrissey, Paul McCartney, Kate Bush… Songs from international bands featuring an Irish musician were permitted. The Irish band we had all been waiting for delivered this shot across the bows on their celebrated debut album Dogrel all of five years ago. It’s a sound collage typical of Loveless, voted best Irish album ever in the Irish Independent’s poll last year. — RD33 Denise Chaila, Chaila (2020)Zambian-Irish hip-hop artist Denise Chaila grew up with people mispronouncing her name.
