Is the Book of Kells Pictish? www.theguardian.com/books/2025/s...

Whatever be the worth of this hypothesis regarding the Book of Kells, Portmahomack in Scotland is the place that is associated with the brilliant contemporary manuscript artist and parchment illustrator Thomas Keyes. For some of his art, see: bsky.app/profile/davi... @dhaydenceltic.bsky.social

Here are some excellent musician friends on fedi who you should definitely follow / listen to: @Filomel - singer and guitarist, streams live twice a week on Twitch @dusepo - luthier who builds a wide range of traditional and folk instruments, and mostly plays oud @JonnyMmusic - Esperanto pop […]

#musiciansday I arrange and play classical and folk music for ukuleles and ocarinas. I like to take traditional music and play it in a non-traditional way, as instrumental arrangements on all the "wrong" instruments. Here's one of my favourites - The Sprig of Thyme […]

Hello, #musiciansday! I’m a singer in themed shows where we perform all the greatest hits as well as the latest novelties from the last five centuries. My job is to play act while simultaneously screaming over one to 100 instrumentalists, and we do this stubbornly without amplification […]

This article looks at the history and development of Old Irish grammars: the pre-Thurneysian past, Thurneysen's Grammar of Old Irish and its central position in current Celtic Studies, and what future grammars will look like. A preprint of the article: www.academia.edu/143690919/Wh...

OH: "Sie sprechen mit dem Lokfuhrer, was kann ich für Sie tun?" Interesting announcement in the RE 2!

Spring wolf

It's a satirical, bizarre thriller, and unsurprisingly some of it is informed by my linguistic interests.

From the archives, for all who understand Austrian German: an Austrian radio station has re-broadcast after 30 years the radio play "Almenrausch" by me and Michaela Schöller (now: Frühstück) that was produced and originally aired in 1995 (director Hans Rochelt). sound.orf.at/radio/bgl/se...

[Polemic on self-defense weapons] In recent days posts in my timeline have appeared stating that women in the Netherlands should have the right to have pepperspray with them for self defense. First of all, I'm sorry that you feel unsafe on our streets, which statically are very safe. But […]

If you have ever visited the stories part of my website and read the stories and poems on there, as I know most of you haven't, you might have noticed something interesting about the story and poem titles and descriptions. Did you notice? https://storydragon.nl/mystery.html

De Digitale Bibliotheek voor de Nederlandse Letteren van de @kbnationalebibliotheek is echt een geweldige bron voor mijn onderzoeken als ik gedichten aan het schrijven ben. Wist je dat je elke tekst die ze hebben staan kan doorzoeken? Je kan gewoon zoeken binnen alle teksten! Heel handig om te […]

Ich probiere jetzt ein acrostisches Gedicht zu schreiben auf Niederländisch, aber die Name enthalt ein 'ü'. Also, was sind schöne Deutsche Wörter die mit 'ü' beginnen?

@frankie49.bsky.social in today's Irish Times about the pilgrimage on St MacDara's Island, the name(s) of saint MacDara, and the avoidance of mentioning foxes 🦊: www.irishtimes.com/opinion/an-i... A few things need to be said here: 1. MacDara (which I prefer to spell Mac-Dara in Old Irish)... /1

Is there something like Bridgy Fed but that 1) lets me use an actual Bluesky account, so I can view 75% of the Bluesky links that require a login for some reason, and 2) bridges _all_ Bluesky accounts to Fedi (since it'd be for single-user use so it wouldn't be any different than just following […]

This is shockingly sad news. Among the countless incredible achievements and qualities of Andrew West 魏安 was also his foundational and inspirational contribution to the digitisation of ogam. Scríbthar a ainm n-ogaim!

Oh, I almost didn't notice, but Rotterdam now has an international bus line to Belgium with OV-chipkaart valid :blobcatinnocent:

Okay, so on Saturday I finished reading _The Girl with the Dragon Heart_ , by @stephanieburgis. That means that it is by now high time to write a review, so here we go! _The Girl with the Dragon Heart_ is, just like _The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart_ , a lovely story. I thoroughly enjoyed […]

Hug dragons

[Some stanzas from Phantasmagoria, wherein a ghost dines] "Thanks! You shall hear them by and by. This *is* a piece of luck!" "What may I offer you?" said I. "Well, since you *are* so kind, I'll try A little bit of duck." "*One* slice! And may I ask you for Another drop of #gravy?" I sat and […]

My go-to comfort read is Non-Player Character, by @vicorva. Whenever I am badly in need of comforting or soothing vibes or whatever to call it, I read Non-Player Character. It is really a comfortable book to read, it is perfect for these moments of negative feelings combined with anxiety. These […]
