now that i've got a bit more time on my hands, i'm going to try to make a more concerted effort to learn G脿idhlig and was wondering if anyone on here has recommendations for good textbooks or other resources to look into?
tapadh leat! 馃檹

I have to share this because my jaw literally DROPPED as soon as I heard the uilleann pipes kick in. oh my god. I don't think I can ever listen to the four seasons the same way again
(I feel like tagging @hartshorn-and-isinglass is appropriate here...)

Halloween costume idea: Tam Lin
You start the party dressed as vaguely medieval guy (with maybe elf ears if you wanna be fancy). Then you have costume changes, leaving and coming back dressed as different beasts. The big finish is coming back naked and having someone throw their green cloak over you.
Bonus points for having your partner or friend dressed as Janet and holding you through the "transformations" and being the one to cover you with the green cloak.
Extra bonus points for arriving on a white stick horse toy.

My nonsense theory about terriers is they鈥檙e so snuggly because if they didn鈥檛 love their owner very very much they鈥檇 fuck off down a burrow and never be seen again. But their little hearts being full of both murder and love ensures that they will return

northern territory lowered the age of criminal responsibility to 10 fucking years old 馃檭
this is after *having* raised it to 12 (still ridiculous), they've decided to lower it again. nothing NT cops love doing more than throwing aboriginal kids in prison
#auspol#it's time for things to change#all of these policies are purposefully targeting Indigenous children#the stolen generation never fucking ended

Hello Urban Fantasy Tumblr!
I have a mighty need to read something that has this idea in it. Hopefully it exists already; if not, hopefully one of you kind souls will oblige.
Hear me out: Anthropology in urban fantasy
You have a vampire/werewolf/fae who is from an ancient culture. Maybe from a culture that is still extant, maybe from one that is extinct. And now you have the most coveted of all things to study: A PRIMARY SOURCE WHO CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS.
I think those academics would absolutely cum in their pants if they suddenly were able to ask about the Greek dark ages, or find out where Push was. Or really, knowing academics, what did you eat!? Where did you live? How did you do your hair? How many dishes did you own? LITERALLY ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE ME WILL SPAWN A NEW FIELD OF STUDY, PLEASE TELL ME ANYTHING.
So yes. I have a mighty need. Please tell me if this exists.
Tagging @thebibliosphere because if Joy reblogs this I have a great chance of finding something or maybe even her getting a plot bunny and writing it herself
