My chair, Matthieu Boyd, keeping himself out of trouble… He’s published a new translation of the early Irish epic Táin Bó Cúailnge, “The Cattle-Raid of Cooley.” #irishlit #translation https://www.fdu.edu/news/professor-publishes-new-translation-of-irelands-national-epic/

I mean, sometimes, that really is all you can do, eh? ;) #books #reading @bookstodon

The image depicts a cozy reading nook with a large bookshelf filled with books, set against a backdrop of a window with blue frames. The bookshelf is dark-coloured, and the books are arranged neatly, with some decorative items interspersed. In front of the bookshelf, there is a comfortable seating area with a dark green couch adorned with several cushions, including a floral-patterned one. A small wooden table with a lamp is positioned next to the couch, providing a warm light. The floor is wooden, and the space is decorated with various potted plants, including one with orange fruits, adding a touch of nature. The overall atmosphere is inviting and tranquil. Overlaid on the image is a text that reads, "Drink your coffee. Read your books. It's chaos out there." The text is in white with a green background, and the source is credited to "Cottage Whimsy" at the bottom. Provided by @altbot@fuzzies.wtf, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B
