the number of people who have messaged me interested in the táin and which translation i've used: is anyone also interested in approx 50+ articles/chapters on early medieval ireland / sub-roman britain? because i have a google drive folder just sitting there that i need an excuse to organise.

okay! i have organised these into folders, and will eventually find the strength to rename them all correctly, but for now:

here it is! a link to all my pdfs. my pride and joy. most of these are to do with iron age ireland/early christian ireland. lóegaire mac néill you will always be famous.

Secularist society that takes the cigarettes approach to religion and it's totally legal but all religious texts require a big sticker thst says "THERE IS NO EVIDENCE FOR GOD" or whatever. And at the start of every sermon you have to give a disclaimer thst you're making it all up. Etc. Kinda based

the stuff going on at columbia campus rn is genuinely incredible

despite mass arrests by NYPD and several students (including rep ilhan omar’s daughter, isra hirsi) being suspended for their participation and having their university identification deactivated, the gaza solidarity encampment is still going strong well into its second day. def recommend following independent reporter talia jane who is taking part and providing live updates. (talia was the first reporter to break aaron bushnell’s self immolation in february; she was one of the reporters he contacted personally prior to the protest.)

thank you so much alexa @shivsblunt for mentioning it…..anyone who wants to contribute to their jail support fund can do so @ bcabolitioncollective on v*nmo. also, if anyone is in the area and available to join (via cssw4palestine on ig):

you need to listen to Bruce Springsteen’s live albums not just his studio stuff because his crowd work has three modes it’s either “Clarence you should walk me on a leash” or “one time I fell down the stairs and I still think about it….do you still think about it?” or “this songs for my dad who only loved me sort of which was worse than not at all. he’s not in the crowd tonight. or maybe he is. if you see him please god tell me.” and before anyone can react to any of that he’s hootin and hollerin and Clarence Clemons is doing things with a saxophone that are now illegal in more than 15 US states

Just came across a super funny folktale about Conchobar.

An undoubted folk-tale has been made out of Aided Chonchobair, at least in Donegal. The source, no doubt, is Keating's re-telling, which is closely followed: but there is a sequel in three MSS. When Conchobhar dies, his soul takes up residence in a clump of rushes. St. Patrick, or a priest 1,000 years later, pulls up the rushes by chance and finds the soul lurking there. On hearing its story he offers to put it into a new body so that it can be christened, but Conchobhar refuses when he is told that he would have to suffer death a second time. The saint weeps over him, and the soul, baptized by tears, goes to Heaven.

Alan Bruford, Gaelic Folk-tales and Mediaeval Romances (1966), p. 99

It's the casual assertion that you can just put souls in a new body, for me. I mean, where is St Patrick/this random priest finding a body that doesn't already have a soul in it? Is that allowed?
