A great Irish poet and singer left us today.
She was beautiful, courageous and wore her heart on her sleeve. She was before her time.
Nothing will ever compare to Sinéad O’Connor.
Rest easy Sinéad.

#ThroughHerEyes
Hollywood strikers might take inspiration from Mary Manning, the Dunne's Stores worker who protested against apartheid by refusing to handle South African grapefruit #otd in 1984. She was suspended and 9 co-workers went on strike. They held out for *two* years
