PETA, the one charity it seems to be socially acceptable to dunk on. Besides their own shoddy history with shelters (genuinely worth a google) they are often seen as one of the foremost members of the political movement behind veganism; for better or worse. But is streaming gory footage from abattoirs and investing heavily in shame tactics really the best way to win over a population of co**se eaters? Or is the new wave of delicious food content creators online doing more for the vegan cause? These are among the questions we’ll be discussing at our round table tomorrow with . Come or else I’ll tell PETA you have a pet for them to euthanise!

LOL (lots of love)

Have you had enough of the perch man infringing on your right to stand in the arts block? Are you ready to strike back at the existence of the €10 pint?
Chances are, you could use this talk to learn how to stage a protest.

Listen to the experts and learn just how you should go about structuring your social movements in order to enact change (and realise it’s a lot harder than Les Mis makes it seem). Join us in the Thomas Davis for an evening of engaging discussion and deep insights.

Who knows? You may become inspired to lead the latest book of Kells blockade! (This is a joke Linda, I would NEVER encourage people to stand outside the book of kells and hinder trinity from making it to a billion euro revenue)

Tomorrow, 7pm, Thomas David Theatre in the Arts block.
Be there or miss out on your chance of becoming politically relevant ever

All the love in the world,
Pol Soc PRO

A chairde, tá scéal uafásach agam daoibh inniu. Cúpla seachtain ó shin, bhí an PRO is fearr libh i Workman’s (mar is eol do chách ba é sin an chéad bhotúin a rinne mé an droch oíche sinn). Bhuail mé le fear a bhí mé ag labhairt le ar Hinge (botúin a dó). Bhí ‘tiocfaidh ár lá’ (botúin 3) ina bhio ar Instagram agus ba é Kneecap an scannán is fearr leis. Ní thabharfainn deoir fhola le náire ansin, nuair a dúirt sé nach raibh fiú cúpla focail aige????

Ní féidir a shéanadh go bhfuil an t-uafás daoine cosúil leis an bhfear a chas mé le, agus tá an fhadhb ag dul in olcas. Cúpla mí ó shin, bhíomar in ann ár dteanga dúchasach a cleachtadh nuair a bhíomar ar meisce, ach beidh club Conradh dúnta ar feadh cúpla bliain anois. Céard atá sa todhchaí don páirt géibheannach seo d’ár féiniúlacht chultúrtha??? Beidh an cheist thábhachtach seo á plé ahainn le hAontas na Mac Léinn ar an Aoine 😌, bígí ann!

Folks, come and listen to the crucial debate on whether TG Lurgan is the future of the Irish language, or whether the academic environment of leaving cert Irish is killing the language. Join us and .amlct this afternoon at 2pm in the GMB

Don’t suffer through pol soc withdrawals, come along tomorrow to our screening of Argo - 6pm in Téatar Mhairtin Ui Chadain in the arts block!

It’s dark, it’s cold, it’s wet in all the wrong ways. January is kicking this poor PRO’s ass, and in this dark and dreary time there is but one light. Caffeinated Conversations is back baby (I couldn’t go last week so it obvs doesn’t count), fill the void where your soul should be (you go to trinity. I know you have a bottomless pit within you) with sugary treats and slightly above pond water coffee (I jest, we have more than enough sugar and Cadbury’s to hide what our instant coffee actually tastes like ;)). Come to the tippy top of house 31 every Monday for the rest of term for a chance to rest in the bonfires light (there may be a lot of dark souls commentary at this particular caffeinated conversations if I find a poor soul who’ll listen to me) and catch some very needed comfort in the middle of the seagull infested wasteland that we call, well not exactly home but something kinda adjacent. Bonus Points, we will not yell at you unlike another campus hot point to re-caffeinate, iykyk

Lots of love and anticipation,
Your humble pol soc PRO 🫶🏻

Come and out arts block your peers at our greenwashing edition of let’s talk politics! Have a forum to publicly shame the urban outfitters addicts who roam trinity grounds, while boasting about your favourite thrift finds. Discuss the spectacular fall of the Green Party from government party to a single TD. Stare at the scaffolding on the campanile while disassociating and thinking about how screwed the planet is. is joining us in house six tomorrow, so hurry on down in your (hopefully) most sustainable outfits!

20/01/2025

In another attempt to prove that politics students are aware of fun, we round out our refreshers week lineup with an entertainment media examination! (Read pop culture pub quiz) Cone join us, .ams and at Mary’s this Wednesday, for a banger of an event! There may even be prizes 👀 (low expectations tho folks 😌)

19/01/2025

Pol Soc is back for 2025 and what better way to start off the new College semester than coming along to Caffeinated Conversations in Room 31 at 12 tomorrow! As usual there will be plenty of snacks , tea and coffee to go around ☕️☕️☕️

14/01/2025

O.M.G! We’re taking it back to ‘09 this refreshers week with for our recession pop club night! Ignore the pressing weight of never getting a home or retirement with some of the best music from the late naughties to early 2010s. Be there or else I’ll write a scathing takedown of your outfits on MySpace and Facebook, photos included.

Fun Fact! Barack Obama used my space to campaign for his 2008 presidential race, that MySpace account walked so the cesspool of politicians on twitter could run!

Is this… a post. For an event. Over a week away?????? Do not be afraid dear mortals; it is simply the announcement of the first event of refreshers week! (Don’t get used to this amount of warning before)

Have you ever wished to be surrounded by a group of insanely competitive people, all competing in seemingly meaningless trials while progressively becoming losing what loose grip on reality they had? Me too, but we spent all of the budget for running the trinity edition of squid games on committee brunch; this is the closest we could get 😔.We’re kicking refreshers off strong this year with B.Y.O.B. Boardgames on Monday (think 🥂🍾🍻🍹 not 🃏🧩🎲♟️ for the second B). Ruin your liver while dominating your peers in games of chance! (committee acknowledge that if we took a dry janurary pledge we’d be too insufferable, so us choosing not to do it is rlly a public service). You should all come, if only to watch an absolute god at scrabble in action.

Ah, the new year. A time for new beginnings and reflections, in our case on the greatest semester of society events ever thrown. Who could forget our countless postponed panel discussions (we promise they’re coming soon guys, and let’s just say they’re worth the wait 😳) or our iconic collaborations with societies almost as sexy as us? In a smashing return from a hiatus, allow me to illustrate some of the events that didn’t quite make the cut for this beautiful collage (read - I did a pretty shoddy job as PRO and had too much fun at these events and forgot to actually take many photos )(☹️ but also 😊 because the events were fab)

Here at Pol Soc HQ, we understand the importance of discretion. As I always like to say, what happens on a pol Soc night out, stays on a pol Soc night out. Pol Ball, Pirate Night, Chappell Night and the famous lock-in will live forever on in our memories 😌, as some of the very few enjoyable student night outs ever thrown by a political/trinity society!

We debated! Twice! (The only photographic evidence I could find was taken by my mother, and god bless her but I will not be exposing the new horrifying angles of myself and the late secretary she discovered). Pol Soc enthusiasts will remember your ever humble PRO was on the winning side of their debate. ( I will link the debates in the bio as soon as the Hist and Phil upload them, if they have already I will link it in the morning and this whole segue was for naught)

We also had many mornings of delicious coffee and sweet treats at caffeinated conversations, but I was too busy munching to document them. If you want to devour some biblically gorgeous biscuits, don’t worry - our librarian has promised me they are making a return next semester (time tbc)

Ofc, I cannot forget stance launch party! Go reread stance right now guys

There are defo events I missed in this brief summary, but Instagram hates women and limits these captions to 2,200 characters. If you were at those missing events, I’m sure you have lovely memories of your own. And if you weren’t? 🤨 Why weren’t you? Do better next semester, I’ll be keeping an eye out

PRO 🫶🏻

Ps, does anyone acc read these?

Watched the debate last night and want to chat about it? Or maybe you missed it and want to hear what others thought about it? Take a break from studies and come to Teach 6 this afternoon for a casual debrief over a hot drink and biscuits! We’ll also chat about how the campaign’s gone generally and how everyone is feeling ahead of the big day on Friday. Let’s freaking go 🔥🔥🔥

25/11/2024

Devastated that the first term is over ? Deadlines pulling on top of each other ? Exams looking ? Filled with existential dread ? What better way to tackle your stress than to pop along to the last caffeinated conversations of the term tomorrow at 11:30 in Room 31 Teach 6!
