The group of Travellers who live on the site near my house (In real life, not just a dream thing) decided to hold a large block party to get on better terms with the non-traveller residents. However, while most people enjoyed the celebrations and the homemade stew they were serving, many of the locals decided to sit in the middle of the block as a form of protest. Then some of the Travellers did the same thing, and the two sides formed an alliance.
The stew was OK, but I had to eat around the chunks of corned beef.

Ooo!! What's the dragonriders of pern???
NOT to contest the claim of trekkies everywhere, but Anne McCaffrey of Dragonriders Of Pern fame invented sex pollen and omegaverse in the 60s. Whether or not this is a good thing is up for interpretation
Dragonriders of Pern is a series of sci-fi novels that started in the 60s about human settlers on the planet of Pern who live in a pre-industrial era. Every few hundred years, their planet comes under fire from Thread, an invasive rainfall shed by a nearby dwarf planet that destroys all organic matter it touches. To fight Thread, humans have genetically engineered dragons which breathe fire to burn the Thread before it harms anyone. The series starts during an unusually long lull between Threadfalls, and in the centuries people have neglected their dragon riders and dragons to the point where when Thread does inevitably fall again, they are completely unequipped to fight it. Nearly all common dragon riding genre tropes originate from Pern!! Anne McCaffrey was the blueprint. I adore this series, but my favourite part is how as the series go on, the characters slowly uncover the truth that they are aliens in this world, dig up ancient technology, learn to use it, and progress as a society. The genre shift from fantasy to sci-fi is one of my favourite things to experience and, as the reader, slowly realising the forgotten truths that the characters themselves are unaware of is great. In this regard, a big inspiration for my Siren setting.
The series contains scenes of sexual assault and a weird adult/minor love story so I can't in good conscience recommend it without pointing this out. It should be considered a product of its time and approached with a critical lens. It was also one of the first books I ever read with normalised gay side characters and gay sex (not any of the main characters) so that was cool. For anyone wondering my fave is obviously F'nor.

Mighty colours from the aurora borealis / Northern Lights over Ireland last night.
Right on the lake, unusually calm waters and good reflections.
We have had some great displays this year and photographing the aurora in Ireland is always enjoyable.

Your altar doesn’t need to be fancy. The divine and the spirits are still there.

Been traveling lately so this is my pocket altar. A notebook with a prayer page, a pencil & sharpener, a rosary, some cash and a LED tea light. Oh and a crystal I’ve had for years.

Don’t forget the old trusty altoid tin too if you need something more secure!

gaeltacht summer camp for LGBTQ+ adults?! this august?! this is amazing. i don't think i can make the travel work this year at such short notice but i hope it's a great success and runs again in future – i've been saying for ages how much i'd love more queer-friendly irish language experiences since it's alienating being the only trans person in the room when it's bad enough having to explain myself in english...

R/n: When I was a wee one I stole three of me neighbors Lawn Gnomes.
Hobie: *snorts* Only three?
R/n: I got caught on the fourth and had to run.
Hobie, puts his arm around her shoulder: Come, bruv. Lemme teach ya better.~

Miguel, wakes up from his nap in panic: Something’s wrong...
