Lia Fáil
Also known as the Stone of Destiny or Speaking Stone
Some Scottish chroniclers, such as John of Fordun and Hector Boece from the thirteenth century, treat the Lia Fáil the same as the Stone of Scone in Scotland.
According to this account, the Lia Fáil left Tara in AD 500 when the High King of Ireland Murtagh MacEirc loaned it to his great-uncle, Fergus (later known as Fergus the Great) for the latter's coronation in Scotland. Fergus's sub-kingdom, Dalriada, had by this time expanded to include the north-east part of Ulster and parts of western Scotland. Not long after Fergus's coronation in Scotland, he and his inner circle were caught in a freak storm off the County Antrim coast in which all perished.
The stone remained in Scotland, which is why Murtagh MacEirc is recorded in history as the last Irish King to be crowned on it.
However, historian William Forbes Skene commented: "It is somewhat remarkable that while the Scottish legend brings the stone at Scone from Ireland, the Irish legend brings the stone at Tara from Scotland

Idk, I just think yall are way too quick to shoot down any movement that isn't perfect instead of giving constructive criticism to improve it. Maybe don't throw the baby out with the bath water every time yall hear of someone attempting to do something when you yourself are in not nary a leftist organization or going to anybody's protests...

I need people to stop acting like studs are so aggressive and mean or are basically men. You’re racist and misogynistic. Studs are literally some of the sweetest people on the planet and have always acted as protectors of our community, It’s time we protect them back. This includes trans women/trans fems who identify as studs!!!
TERFS FUCK OFF

Rolling Stone ranks ''Mean'' By Taylor Swift as the greatest country song of all time (#20)
''On the frolicking “Mean,” Taylor Swift sounds like she has queen bees, bullies, I’m-a-let-you-finishers, and corrosively cruel music critics in her banjo machine-gun’s sights. From 2010’s Speak Now, the song was an eventual Number Two country hit — and Number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 — partly because it captures the sting of “words like knives.” It’s real power lies in giving enough ammo to empower victims of bullying even worse than those Swift suffered.''

if you do not know anything about christianity but make spiteful negative assumptions about it because “errrrmm christianity bad” i will genuinely kill you dead. i just had someone tell me to my face that there has “never been a focus on the virgin mary” and how she’s “largely ignored or overlooked as being just jesus’ mother” and it took every ounce of my being to not descend upon them like a rabid dog starved
