What did the crepe say to the fluffy buttermilk pancake? Aithníonn pancóg pancóg eile.

Cúchullain didn't die defending Ireland from Margaret Thatcher at the Battle Of Clontarf for you to put something other than plain, Catholic sugar on your pancakes

Day 4 of Sick Toddler: *googling "Is LingoKids fascist"* *calling out to wife* "Doesn't seem like it is!"

When the Free State came into being, they wanted to create a commercial Irish language publishing sector. They needed novels, which weren't the Irish literary tradition then. Fortunately there was a loophole where novels published over 10 years earlier could be translated without royalties!

Tá a capella agus instrumental tracks ar an single nua le Rosalína, agus tá siad iontach álainn 😭

The Pogues have announced the death of their drummer Andrew Ranken at the age of 72

My friends and I were just sitting around causing problems on purpose. We were fadhbing.

The cursed late-Celtic-Tiger celebrity cookbook with Bertie's weird coddle recipe also includes this mad entry from "iNose" DJ Carey. 1. That recipe... is just a pile of food. 2. Uncharacteristically gracious of him to admit to being a complete fucking idiot in the personal note on the left!

Friend lives in very rural Ireland - her kids can only cycle on the roads when visiting Dublin grandparents due to the danger from drivers. They're also only able to go for an evening constitutional when in Dublin for the same reason.

Did you know that if you wanna just sit down and draw a backdrop for your photos of your fantasy minis in the style of an old school D&D cover illustration? Like the wildly saturated ones? That’s a thing you can do!

If you only know Truman Capote for 'In Cold Blood', might I suggest trying his short stories. They are peopled with society's marginalised, those who view the world a little bit differently. A somewhat similar vibe to 'The Heart is a Lonely Hunter' or Jim Jarmusch's early films.

Every time I use the linguistics knowledge I gained in LING 101 in 2004 I wish I could send a note to my instructor because she was fresh out of grad school and a force of educational nature. I hope she’s enjoyed a lot of success.

ME: I knew Pagliacci was a stage name, but the joke didn't work unless I pretended it was his real name. CHOTINER: So you misrepresented the doctor. M: Well, I didn't know it would be popular. It was just for our followers. C: Right. It's okay to lie when it's only close friends. M: Hold on

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

The Brigid's Cross on our door was given to us by a dear customer; though neither religious nor superstitious, I do like having it there as a symbol of welcome. Lá Fhéile Bríde faoi mhaise daoibh go léir, it surely must be Spring if I get to go home with the sky still light.

If you need to see that true wonder still exists in the world, Kyiv Zoo does therapy sessions with kids, the photos are great: zoo.kyiv.ua/en/kindness-...

Should you be in a position to financially help the people of Kyiv, one simple way is to make a donation to their zoo: zoo.kyiv.ua/en/how-to-su.... They do *amazing* work and are really feeling the strain from both weather & attacks right now zoo.kyiv.ua/en/friendly-...

The problem with art is the first one is free and that’s how they get you hooked and then you learn that all art is gateway art and next thing you know you’re using hard art and you’re an art addict and all you can think about is art and all you can do is make art

Are you ADHD, autistic, or both, and find that you struggle with your gender while also feeling very sure of it? This answered a lot of questions for me and it might for you too www.autismbc.ca/blog/advocac...

Wait Piranesi is totally a literary representation of discovering you’re autistic through autistic burnout and then having to construct an unmasked identity isn’t it

“Ní bhíonn in aon rud ach seal.”

In Leitrim they say that "only the storyteller carries it now". This is my favourite Leitrim expression.

My body: sleep now My brain: Bob Sagart

Anyone else feel like there’s been a lot of Boudicca energy in the air?

Gandalf's "a wizard is never late, nor is he early" and Kesha's "Now, the party don't start 'til I walk in" are essentially the same sentiment

Me: you known how you always say that I can’t solve everyone’s problems so I have to pick and choose? My therapist: … yes… Me: okay so I figured out a way to solve every problem at once My therapist: that’s not healthy—that’s not possible Me: okay but look at these notes My therapist: huh. well fuck

Isn’t it wild that we have all of these religions that are all basically saying the same thing and instead of people being like “oh cool that way we can each follow the one we like most and still follow basically the same rules” people decided to just fight over how much they agree in principle??

I prefer lawful chaotic good.

I literally squee'd when I saw what Heidi was working on for the embroidery retreat. 💛🤍💜🖤 #DHmakes

Me: everyone who plays D&D is autistic. My wife: what are you talking about? All sorts of different people play D&D—now more than ever! Me, searching on my phone: would you say it’s played by an estimated 3.2% of the population and increasing since the start of the pandemic?

Skeuomorph’s spring semester 2026 public hours are set! We’ll be open Sundays 1-5, & Tuesdays & Wednesdays 5-9. If you have a project in mind or just want to experiment with our equipment and collections, come by during community hours to chat with our student assistants & get your hands inky!

Did I mention my coworker crocheted Robin a couch? 😭😭😭😭😍😍😍😍

It’s unfortunate that so may metrics of success are based on really toxic metrics that see balance as an obstacle to success because I have to say that @puzzmo.com is an amazing puzzle app and the fact that it doesn’t nag me when I break streaks means I can enjoy it on my terms while recovering

The trick is to work in finance when doing those by-the-letter crimes. 👍

If you take the Irish word for cat and add the French word for cat after you get the title of an English cat podcast.

Waiter? Yes, thank you – I'll have your selection of fine powders. My beautiful wife will be having the liquid tasting menu. Thank you, yes. [aside to my beautiful wife] little do these stuffed shirts know we plan to mix them together into goops...

The autists yearn for the crimes.

Hi Americans: I live in Canada and am a Canadian and an Irish citizen and while I’m sympathetic to your current plight, your laws do not impact me and people from other countries are really tired of you telling us about how thing are in your country.

Isn’t it wildly ableist that autistic people can get in trouble for following the rule of laws as they’re written? Surely we should be allowed to do crimes so long as they’re by the letter of the law

A funny thing with autism is the stats are like “yeah 8% of people are autistic” and then you’re like “hmm weird because in my friend group it’s 70% and rising” and then you realise your friend group is like 12 autistic people and 3 neurotypicals holding all your lives together.
