Me (to The Internet, everybody listening, or just looking my way for more than 5 sec): „Look what we did!“
I received the prints of our #RepresentationMatters publication yesterday evening. It’s not only a collection of papers on the way we reproduce and communicate our knowledge towards audience.

All of our articles and posts on irishlanguage.ie are written by humans.

Our references come from books and reputable sources, such as specific websites, RnaG, researchers, academics, knowledgeable people about the language and indeed years of our own studies.

I, however,
Have such meagre power,

Clutching at a
Moment,

While you control
An hour.

But your hour is
A stone.

My moment is
A flower.

-Langston Hughes, "Poet to Bigot"

Such a contrast between reading it (funny) and watching it (excruciating).

Funny how you might listen to music and like it, go watch the music being performed and love it and wonder what's unlocked if you could perform it (or create it!).

Have never wondered what it'd be like to perform Beckett.

Hold on, you don't like to see Beckett performed?!

The world feeds many fools: never more true than today! Here wittily done as a rebus & illustration by Jan Massys, whose day is today.

Excellent. In the parents’ spare room tonight, and just discovered both bedside tables are stuffed with copies of every memorial service/funeral they have ever been to.
They’re in their mid-eighties.

Sleep well between the Drawers of Death.

A short scout in Montana to make some plans for a longer adventure. Still, 2,500 feet of climbing in the first 10 miles, and early fall temps.

Ahem

Ah, the good old daze. A classic from the mid 1950s!

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

Me: “it’s paneer. How hot could it possibly be.”

5 mins later, also me: “ Holy sweet Jesus 🌶️🌶️🌶️”

Jeff Bezos might have built a spaceship, but indie bookstores build and nurture whole communities and that is *way* more impressive and valuable.

Another brilliant choice of cover song on @8radioireland.bsky.social just now.
