The purported Piskey Queen, Joan the Wad.

While its likely she didn't originally start out as fairy royalty, her current position is well-established in the tourism and trinket business.

A Jack O' Lantern for MEEE?? A funfact for you, friend!

Did you know that Jack O' The Lantern, Will O' The Wisp, and Joan O' The Wad are all Cornish Pixies (or Piskies, in Cornish). Joan the Wad being the Queen of Piskies. For a brief time in I think the 20s you could buy trinkets of her image to wear for good luck!

You can still buy them Here

(hehehe trollsona boi that @frozenhi-chews spurred me to make :3)

Name: Floydy Piskey (the y should be silent, it is not)

Matesprit: Cronus Amp.ora

Moirail: Kan.kri Van.tas

Classpect: Witch Of Doom

Sign: Lemino

Type-quirk: Uses abbreviation instead of proper words, uses kaomojis to show emotion, typical Tumblr speech-

Floydy acts much like a big brother type to the other trolls with a good head on his shoulders and a laid-back attitude he's always there when you need him. Yet with this he often finds it hard to let people know if he's actually upset or annoyed and always puts up a happy facade. The only people privy to knowing his true feelings are his moirail and matesprit.

Speaking of which he has a rather odd relationship with both, and he has no idea how he got to of the worst trollbeings he knows (affectionate) to be the two he's closest with. His moiraillance with Kan.kri is complicated as while they do definitely care about each other and find the other to be the easiest to talk too (besides their respective matesprits.) Floydy often teases him, and Kan often gives him a mouthful. The only thing more complicated is his relationship with Cronus, he knows that he shouldn't be fond of such a greasy sleazy troll yet with the flirts and even genuinely kind remarks he can't help but be enamored, well at least he won't have to worry about competition- (also he has to admit, the troll is kinda hot-)

He has a keen interest of humans scenecore aesthetics and their use of dark things in bright and poppy ways, he also enjoys shipping his friends together (his favourite being his moirail and a certain breakfast named troll), and stand-up comedy.

[mogai-neuro-keysmash]

@piskey ‘neurotic’ just refers to someone with a neurosis, which is basically mental conditions of stress- it can include anxiety, obsessive thoughts, panic disorder, depression, hypochondria (illness anxiety), psychosis, etc. these symptoms can be called ‘neuroses’.

‘neuroticism’ is also used to describe a personality trait and you’ll see it in personality tests. people who score high in neuroticism are usually more anxious than other people

but neurotic is also used in a non-clinical way, sometimes in a derogatory way, to describe mentally ill people or people perceived as overly anxious/paranoid.

so if you have a mental illness like anxiety, OCD, depression, etc or if you’ve actually been described negatively with an adjective like neurotic (similar adjectives: deranged, mentally disturbed, hysteric) then you can reclaim it

TLDR: mentally ill people (especially those with anxiety, ocd-spec, or mood disorders) can reclaim the term neurotic. so yes you can identify with neurolexic!

Howie Broyles commented on Facebook: "Love the podcast. I have always liked Celtic music and anything to do with Scotland or Ireland. It wasn't until I took a DNA test that I figured out why. I always thought I was mostly German because of my name and where it originates. Turns out I got mostly my moms side and they are all UK based. Ireland, Scotland and Yorkshire. So now I even enjoy it more knowing that it is my history."

Aimee Greenfield sent a picture: "Hi Mark, I love to weave and listen to Celtic music. This music has inspired me for the last 30 years while creating! The music is definitely woven into my current project of Turkish Beach Towels. Thanks for the entertainment!"

Guest Blog - Skillywidden by Jack Daw (©2022)

https://www.tumblr.com/chattering-magpie-uk/717838906699235328/cornish-view-2008-3a In many parts of the world it is said that magical folk gain their magical powers from the spirits either by birth i.e. having the fairy blood or from some sort of interaction. In Cornwall some types of magical folk were said to be Skillywidden, i.e. child of the fair, fairy or piskeys. The following myth was…

[lucidityisabsent]

The Body of an American · The Pogues on the Poguetry In Motion EP ℗ 1986 Warner Music UK Ltd. - The Cadillac stood by the house And the yanks, they were within And the tinker boys, they hissed advice "Hot-wire her with a pin"

When we turned and shook as we had a look In the room where the dead men lay So big Jim Dwyer made his last trip To the shores where his father's laid

But 15 minutes later we had our first taste of whiskey There was uncles giving lectures on ancient Irish history The men all started telling jokes and the women, they got frisky By five o'clock in the evening every bastard there was piskey

Fare thee well, going away, there's nothing left to say Farewell to New York City, boys, to Boston and PA He took them out with a well-aimed clout, we often heard him say "I'm a free born man of the USA"

He fought the champ in Pittsburgh and he slashed him to the ground He took on Tiny Tartanella and it only went one round He never had no time for reds, for drink or dice or whores But he never threw a fight when the fight was right So they sent him to the war

Fare the well, gone away, there's nothing left to say With a slainte Joe and Erin go my love's in Amerikay The calling of the rosary, Spanish wine from far away I'm a free born man of the USA, yeah

This morning on the harbour, when I said goodbye to you I remember how I swore that I'd come back to you one day And as the sunset came to meet, the evening on the hill I told you I'd always love you, I always did, I always will Fare thee well, gone away, there's nothing left to say But to say adieu to your eyes as blue as the water in the bay To big Jim Dwyer, the man of wire who was often heard to say "I'm a free born man of the USA" I'm a free born man of the USA I'm a free born man of the USA.

That quote not to point. More to point would be the rulings in Sefer Chassidim and Piskei Teshuvot on saying Kaddish for goyim, which is not done with the exceptions of a ger who is saying it for their parents and a goy who rescued Jews in dire times.

There are plenty of times when it is appropriate to bring up Gazan complaints. Tisha B'Av is not one of them, in the same way that it is inappropriate to bring up other groups who suffered during the Shoah on Yom Ha'Shoah. It is a uniquely Jewish day of mourning to reflect our uniquely Jewish losses, and injecting Gazans into it is incredibly disrespectful.

If you're looking for a kinah that also talks about Gaza, I found this one to be rather moving:

[spale-vosver]

Not to chime in on a conversation that isn't mine but this opinion is not binding even among Orthodox Jews; Menachem Elon writes that

[such a view] "inherently violates the precept of Hilkheta Ke-Vatra'ei, that is, the law is according to the later scholars. This rule dates from the Geonic period. It laid down that until the time of Rabbis Abbaye and Rava (4th century) the Halakha was to be decided according to the views of the earlier scholars, but from that time onward, the halakhic opinions of post-talmudic scholars would prevail over the contrary opinions of a previous generation. See Piskei Ha'Rosh, Bava Metzia 3:10, 4:21, Shabbat 23:1

I’m sure I’m going to get a lot of flak for this unpopular opinion on this website, but I don’t believe that someone who believes that Jewish Law isn’t binding gets a seat at the table of deciding or interpreting what Jewish Law does or doesn’t say. I don’t mean to say, G-d forbid, that you shouldn’t try to relate and connect to Torah in your daily life, but please leave interpreting practicalities to people who actually will follow them, and don’t try to bend Halacha to relate to or justify your refusal to follow it.
