This is a sight I know well. It's in the town square of my husband's hometown and it's still there today.

Academia.edu is getting more and more ludicrous all the time. Latest email from them:
"Hi Anna, the wolf recently confirmed that your paper Birth Narratives in Indo-European Mythology mentions them."
Very coherent and helpful.
I guess I need to unsubscribe from even more of their useless emails […]

I have compiled a list of Ulster Cycle materials, including prose narratives (mostly what is in the Ulidia 1994 list) but also dindshenchas articles, some poems, and items from Cóir Anmann. There were 75 titles on the original Ulidia list, and over 200 here, so I hope that it will help lead […]

We've all heard about #rfkjr 's most recent nonsense: That the use of #tylenol by pregnant women allegedly causes #autism in their children.

I've also talked how this ties in to older #folklore that encourages #ableism - the #changeling narrative, in particular. Since I've gotten a lot of […]

Yesterday I got knocked down by an idiot illegally riding an e-scooter on the sidewalk. I had to talk to the police and go to the hospital in an ambulance for x-rays and stitches in my forehead. I am always so impressed by the health services here. I was home again less than 5 hours after […]

3/3 I do hope that more people will consider bridging their accounts. It is really nice to be able to communicate with people on other platforms without being locked into to a particular service. It benefits everyone. To bridge a Mastodon account to Bluesky, just follow @bsky.brid.gy. To bridge […]

Less good: I can see that I have followers on Bluesky, but I can't see who all of them are. Also, if a Bluesky account comments on a post, I can see that a comment is there but I can't see it or respond unless that account is bridged to Mastodon. (I'm not being rude and ignoring you!) I'm also […]

It's been a few months now since I bridged my Mastodon account to Bluesky. It's not a perfect system, but I do think it's very worth doing. The good things are that it is really easy to set up, my Mastodon posts automatically appear on Bluesky without me having to do anything, and I can interact […]

I was planning to start the second series of posts on my blog about the Ulster Cycle right about now. Sadly, we lost our beloved dog last week and it's very hard to feel interested in or excited about anything at the moment. I think once I'm feeling a bit more functional I'll start with writing […]

The relationship between Ailill and Medb is a fascinating one. Medb's first partner was Conchobar, but she left him. Her second partner was Tindi mac Connra, who declared war on Conchobar because he raped Medb. Tindi was killed by his own brother at Conchobar's urging. Eochaid Dala then took […]

A common misconception is that the Irish Óengus is a god of love, but there's no real reason to think this. He is the son of the Dagda and the Bóand and the stories about him are more focused on questions of land ownership and exchange and on legal trickery than on love. He is linked with two […]
