Thread: There’s this strange superstition in Ireland, where you don’t speak ill of the dead or even the politically moribund. Add to that that it’s also considered bad form in Gaelic tradition to denigrate those who have lost. The tradition is that you build them up to Demi-gods & then casually [1]

They tell me I’m uncultured, but I’ll always recognise a bit of Beethoven.

I can hear this this image.

This. This is a photo that should echo through the ages

The postmodern Narcissus.

LMAO! They were not ready!

The weather on Juneteeth was incredible. Make of that what you will.

I think we did really reach the upper limits of meringue

Thus the Tories in England long imagined that they were enthusiastic about monarchy, the church, and the beauties of the old English Constitution, until the day of danger wrung from them the confession that they are enthusiastic only about ground rent. -Karl Marx Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I was rooting for Paraguay but the Benny Hill pratfall shit is getting truly hilarious. Doing Three Stooges shit trying to get Mbappe a red card.

Thread: A stylised little owl where feather patterns create a colourful rhythm, and spiralling colours around the eyes hint at the bird’s legendary wisdom. With stars, mystery and a nod to the night owls among us, this one-off drawing of a little guardian brings a touch of wonder to any space. [1]

print media isn’t dead most of my audience is 18-25 year olds. I have around 30,000 steady readers and I get emails from 20 year olds all the time about the impact my work has on them People want print. They don’t want trash

Hendrix weaponized the electric guitar, evoking the violent reality of the Vietnam War without speaking a single word. He heavily utilized feedback, sustain, and whammy bar dives to imitate the sounds of falling bombs, machine-gun fire, and air-raid sirens during the "bombs bursting in air" segment.

Not sharing that photo of the young sis on the train. Would prefer that white folks who are sharing it would say what they are concretely doing to uproot white supremacy...

I hope her identity is protected, but I do want to hear that she's safe.

Thread: There’s magic in the simplest things if you take the time to see. A handful of tulips and a lone daffodil, all brought to life in pen and ink. I’m looking for a good home for this original drawing. Details in thread [1]

Grilled portobello mushrooms are a fantastic meatless burger alternative to toss on your #July4 grill. Make them union mushrooms by looking for Monterey Mushrooms. Thank you "Elia" for this photo. #WeFeedYou

What could you create/make by next summer to lessen suffering in some part of your world? Let that question be your guide and hold yourself to making something of whatever size and impact by that time. Hold yourself to the commitment. No one else needs to know but you will.

erroneously thought that my love of red onions and pure heart would keep my eyes safe while chopping one for my elote pasta salad

I’m watching “The Sheep Detectives” for the third time.

Biological advantage in Irish dancing

Disturbing to see the US far right directly attack Irish culture. If you care about >actual< culture as opposed to jackboots & Nazi salutes - this is the petition to sign. It’s the moves that matter!

This is the America I'll recognize today. "There's a piece of him that's inside of me,” Swain said. "To understand whose blood is running through my veins, understand the connection that I have and how we got to where we are today, I think that is amazing." abcnews.com/US/1st-confi...

The people who have tried through hook and crook to transform this country into a real multi-racial democracy are worth uplifting.

If people read Black abolitionists and Black feminists more carefully and with the rigor that afford to white male theorists, then lots more things be might be clearer to them.

I assumed everyone knew this was predicted to occur when they sacked 50% of the NOAA staff and started canceling weather balloons that collect data last year; but if not. 👇

The Left(s) should get onboard with a massive expansion of public libraries across the country over the next 25 years. This is an affirmative project.

Cabo Verde tied Spain and took Argentina to extra time. That entire team should hold their heads high.

“How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal… division is the oldest trick in politics.” Zohran rings in America’s birthday by reminding us our story is one of welcoming immigrants, not excluding everyone who doesn’t look like us. 🇺🇸 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DaVzyL0...

It seems to me, that the LGBTQ community are paying the highest cost in Northern Ireland, & their treatment a breach of the European Convention on Human Rights [enshrined in the Good Friday Agreement]. The executive persecutes them & they can find no justice.

#FindsFriday #Celtic: `The extraordinary Tintignac helmet is the perfect illustration of an observation made by Diodorus Siculus (and probably borrowed from Posidonius, who travelled to Gaul in the second century BC). 1/3

Asking how people can partake in joyful acts during a period of immense suffering leads me to believe this is your first time at the suffering rodeo.

I am fully aware of ICE’s escalating presence in our community. ICE agents are showing up masked, dressed in police tactical gear, and using excessive force, including shattering car windows to carry out arrests.

I’m so glad we’ve come back to our senses and realized that hotels are way better than AirBnB. A great classic hotel is EVERYTHING. I’m talking at least two bars, two restaurants, concierge, REAL room service, lounges where you can sit and pretend to read while eavesdropping. The WORKS.

I remember first encountering the Society of St. Pius X when writing about Mel Gibson’s absurdly antisemitic The Passion two decades ago. The hate generated by the bastions of white supremacy never dies out. dneiwert.blogspot.com/2004/02/mel-...

Stephen Miller's suit here shows one of the biggest problems with men's tailoring today. 🧵

Listen. I spent more than a decade as a theatrical technician, rigging stages, hanging lights, flying scenery, etc. The number of times I have dropped anything on a stage with performers on it is zero. The number of times I’ve dropped something that might’ve killed someone is zero. This is major.

sorry to just be Catholicposting all day when I know this is not what y'all expect but I am a cradle Catholic even if I'm a deeply lapsed cradle Catholic and I am HOWLING IN TRIUMPH over this whole thing, it's incredible

THANK YOU OMG I HAD NOT SEEN THIS

there is! the fringe sect YOU want is the Synodal Way, mostly centered in Germany and Austria. they’ve gotten slapped on the wrist for performing same sex marriage ceremonies, they support women’s ordination and are pushing aggressive reforms in how sex abuse cases are handled. they’re great

yes! even a lay person has to throw themselves on the mercy of a legitimate bishop if they count as “imputable” per these terms if you just went to Mass there sometimes you’re fine, but if you were part of the machine you have to formally disavow it

The Chicago Popefather really said.

I respect Pochettino’s commitment to dressing like a scientist who tries to warn everyone in the first act of a Jurassic Park movie
