This, and please excuse my language, is absolute, bugfuck, pants-on-head, insane. One of UK's most critically acclaimed living authors (who isn't a walking hate speech or abuser), has had her books pulled by her publisher because of the laws against #PalestineAction. #Irish novelist Sally #Rooney said her books can no longer be sold in the #UK because she financially supports the banned group #Palestine Action. Rooney, 35, is the critically praised author of four novels: “Conversations with Friends,” “Normal People,” “Beautiful World, Where are You” and “Intermezzo.” I remind you that all of this nonsense is happening under the nominally moderate #Labour party. As an American, I say to fellow USians as we close in on midterms, remember that Labour proves centrists are better than rightwing, but they are not our friends. They're still bootlickers.

Question for the Irish of Mastodon: Have you whacked for your daddio lately? #Irish #Ireland #thinlizzy #whiskeyinthejar #irishofmastodon

Fully a week late: the latest issue of The Gods and Their Croziers is out! This is Ailbhe, a Sun God and a patron of Harmony. They're a gender-ambiguous mess of archetypes that seem to come out differently in every mythology. Their closest _singular_ parallel seems to be Vishnu, but may have once included Mars. There's every reason to think that they're esoterically the Daytime face of an evening counterpart whose nature similarly encompasses the Moon and the Evening/Morning Star: Midir/Bréanainn and Aengus/Moling. And possibly a third or even fourth pairing for the Night and the Dawn. I'm still working this out. This issue is dense, and full of comparisons across multiple mythologies. It's got Loki! It's got Paris and Hector! It's got Cúchulainn and it's got Karna and Duryodhana! It's a mess! But if you stick with it, I promise you'll be as confused and enlightened as I was. https://buttondown.com/godsandcroziers/archive/sep-12-saint-ailbhe-irish-god-of-celestial-harmonious-fire/ #Pagan #Paganism #Mythology #ComparativeMythology #Gaelic #Irish #Celtic

All supporting acts quit Ed Sheeran tour in protest of Macklemore removal Four supporting acts, including musician Finneas, stood in solidarity with the US rapper, as Sheeran said the rapper's removal was not his decision https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/all-supporting-acts-quit-ed-sheeran-tour-protest-macklemores-removal [Yessss!!!] Sept. 15, 2026 The artist #Finneas and three other supporting acts quit #EdSheeran's tour on Tuesday, after the #US rapper #Macklemore was removed for his pro-#Palestine comments on stage. Finneas, #Irish acts #AaronRowe and #Beoga, and #LukasGraham of Denmark all posted statements announcing they were quitting Sheeran's "Loop Tour" in #solidarity with the rapper and #Palestinian people. "Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed,” Finneas said in a statement on social media. His statement came after Irish singer Aaron Rowe published a statement, announcing that he had decided to withdraw as a support act for the British singer. #FreePalestine #DefendFreeSpeech #SanctionIsrael #news #politics

If you know an Irishman who visited France for two weeks in July and who saved my life at the Piscine du Grand Parc, get us in touch. He'll remember as much as I do. They visited all the swimming pools in Bordeaux. Please boost and see if anyone is on Mastodon who can help. #Irish #Ireland

Irish Potato Bread My one of my all time favourite breakfast companion foods. This time, making it myself and tasting way better than the store bought ones. 1/ After boiling potatoes, mash with butter, add salt, pepper and Rosemary seasoning (this part is very important or else, no flavour). Mix, add flour and mix again then knead. 2/ Roll and flatten dough, cut into sections, then dry fry each piece, 2 at a time in my case. 3/ Turn, fry the other side , making sure they're cooked properly then set on plate and dry fry the rest of the slices. 4/ Serve with breakfast or on it's own. Enjoy #breakfast #breakfastfood #vegan #recipe #diy #homecooking #homemade #irish

Today was meant to be when I published the first issue of The Dagda, the much-loved #Irish "Ollathair" or Great Father god who appears in the Book of Invasions. Specifically, this issue would be dealing with "Saint" Deaglán/Declan of Ardmhór ("Ardmore") in #Waterford, but also "Saints" Earc and Dubhthach. Sadly, the issue is not ready, and won't be tomorrow or the day after. I won't be skipping it, because 🥁Dagda📢, but it's gonna be a few days late. I may put out a forerunner email (subscribers only maybe) with some preamble - some discussion of key papers I can refer to in the issue, to save word-count on the issue itself. If you're missing your fix of #Dagda-related writing, he's mentioned or discussed in various guises in several previous issues, such as Brigit/Brighid, Moling/Aengus, Bréanainn/Midir, and of course the Mórrígan and Eithne/Boann:

Repubblica.it: Incidente Ryanair, investigatori Usa contro O’ Leary: non divulghi dati. Sotto esame età dell’aereo L’agenzia federale Ntsb, titolare dell’inchiesta sul volo da Salonicco e il passeggero risucchiato fuori, diffida l’ad del gruppo irlandese: riserbo sugli accertamenti, non esclusi problemi di manutenzione al Boeing Ryanair incident, US investigators accuse O'Leary: do not disclose data. Examining aircraft age. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which is leading the investigation into the flight from Saloniki and the passenger sucked out of the aircraft, has cautioned the CEO of the Irish group: confidentiality regarding the findings, without excluding maintenance issues with the Boeing. #Ryanair #OLeary #Saloniki #Irish #Boeing

RaiNews: Morto Sam Neill, l'attore di Jurassic Park, Peaky Blinders e Lezioni di piano In una dichiarazione, la famiglia: "Era circondato dai suoi cari ed è spirato con la dignità che ha caratterizzato tutta la sua vita". Neozelandese con cittadinanza irlandese, star sia di film blockbuster che indipendenti Sam Neill, the actor of Jurassic Park, Peaky Blinders and Piano Lessons, has died. In a statement, the family said: “He was surrounded by his loved ones and passed away with the dignity that characterized all of his life.” New Zealander with Irish citizenship, a star of both blockbuster and independent films. #SamNeill #JurassicPark #NewZealander #Irish

Irish and gaillige speaking friends, I'm changing my last name to my great grandmother's maiden name, which I know would have been prefaced with ní, but I'm agender so that feels a little weird, and I could go with the O' but I'm wondering if there's ever been a non gendered preface for names in Irish language, or if maybe there is one created now? I know it's maybe a long shot, but I would love to find out if I have an option, otherwise I may just run with O'. #Irish #gaillige #names

Today in Labor History July 10, 1921: Bloody Sunday: Seventeen people died and 200 houses were destroyed during rioting and gun battles in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The violence erupted the day before the beginning of a truce that was supposed to end the Irish War of Independence. As the truce approached, police launched a raid against republicans. However, the Irish Republican Army (IRA) ambushed them, killing an officer. In retaliation, Protestant loyalists attacked Catholic enclaves in west Belfast. As a result, Protestants and Catholics paramilitaries battled each other in the streets. There were also gun battles between Republicans and the police. And police also fired indiscriminately at Catholic civilians. Belfast, alone, saw almost 500 people killed from 1920–22 in political and sectarian violence related to the Irish War of Independence. The Irish War of Independence has been portrayed in the play “The Shadow of a Gunman,” by Seán O'Casey, the 1929 novel, “The Last September,” by Elizabeth Bowen, the 1931 short story, “Guests of the Nation,” by Frank O'Connor and the more recent novels: “Troubles,” by J. G. Farrell (1970), “The Old Jest,” (1979) by Jennifer Johnston, and “The Soldier's Song,” (2010) by Alan Monaghan. #workingclass #LaborHistory #irish #independence #Revolutionary #belfast #BloodySunday #ireland #republican #catholic #protestant #civilians

Today's issue of The Gods and Their Croziers is out! This time it's Eithne, AKA Boann, Fidelm, Feada (and maybe Cíarnait?). She's probably also Findchoem and Ness. Most outwardly a "mother" goddess, Eithne goes waay deeper than that: she's a goddess of wisdom and prophesy, and aligns well internationally with Cosmogonic Water/Cow goddesses such as Viraja and Adumbla. This issue had to leave a huge amount unsaid, because Eithne and her Parallels are deep, deep goddesses. https://buttondown.com/godsandcroziers/archive/jul-6-eithne-goddess-of-wisdom-freshwater/ #irish #mythology #irishmyth #paganism

A must-watch on the subject: Are Irish Americans actually "Irish"? Are immigrants to Ireland "Irish"? What does it actually mean to be Irish anyway? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n6VvpcdiC4 #mastodaoine #irishness #IrishAmerican #TheLeftistCooks #AmericanIrish #irish

Today's issue of The Gods and Their Croziers is out: Cellach & Muiredach (AKA Cúchongeilt) - The Divided Divine Twins of Killala. These two are as close as #IrishLegends come to the Asvins or Dioscuri. These brothers¹ represent possibly the most popular God in international mythology, the God whose incarnations and hypostases form the protagonists for probably half of all Epic literature. They come in two *main* flavours, and the story of Cellach & Muiredach gives us both. While they are not, I thimk, *direct* parallels of Aengus Mac Óg & Cúchulainn, they come of the same essence and demonstrate my modelling of these two iconic characters as parts of a unified essence. https://buttondown.com/godsandcroziers/archive/may-1st-cellach-muiredach-the-divided-divine-twins/ ¹ These gods are in fact *usually* not Twins - that's an artefact of the comparative mythology of their most obvious exemplars #Irish #Mythology #Pagan
