Get on with it!
Glorious! 🥰
Bealtaine (1 May) — the beginning of the long, light-filled days of summer Incidentally, I was yesterday years old when I learned this! 😉 If you found it interesting you might want to follow my feed to learn a little bit of the Irish language now and then! bsky.app/profile/did:plc:bgvs...
Samhain (1 November) — the beginning of winter and the Celtic New Year; the boundary between the spirit world and the living world was considered to be thinnest at Samhain — one possible origin for the holiday we now call Halloween! Imbolc (1 February) — the beginning of spring …
... explanation: in Ireland, there is actually an older calendar than the astronomical one we're used to! It's commonly called the Gaelic or Celtic calendar, and it divides the year into four seasons, the start of which is marked by a festival: Lughnasadh (1 August) — the first harvest …
This is a follow up to yesterday's #IrishWOTD for those who like me are curious as to why in Irish, this month is called "the middle of autumn." It turns out that in addition to "autumn," fómhar also means "harvest" — so September is the "middle of harvest." But there's an even more interesting…
I’d rather date her, tbqh, but cosplaying as her would be my second choice 😉
The first part of that statement is surely a lie. As for the rest of it, I had pasta for dinner this evening.
I’m not a gamer, so I don’t know much about the game, but she looks just like the screenshots I’ve seen! I’m in awe of these cosplayers!
M-orons A-re G-overning A-merica shorturl.at/Y5yPL
They are the biggest bunch of whiny babies on the planet.
I've always wanted to go to one of these to see the cosplays! If you were to cosplay anyone, who would it be? I would 💯 be 2B from the game "NieR: Automata"! I think she's hot asf! (Cosplayer is www.reddit.com/user/AngieVC... )
🤗🥰
🥺
Sometimes it's just that they're stupid 😆

I don't understand the compulsion some people feel to post negative comments on other people's posts — especially ones on a subject the person cares about. Why not just scroll past? It makes no sense to me except if you realize they're there to create anger and chaos. So, they're immediate blocks.
I just added that to my dossier on you 🕵️
The weird part is that a lot of them proclaim themselves to be liberals. I suspect they're actually MAGAts, tbqh. Anyway, blocked that loser.
Warren is a troll. And a not very bright one, either.
💯 agree
Look at the cute autumn art I'm using* for my Mastodon server! (It took me forever to find it!) * properly licensed and everything
Orwell saw it quite clearly in 1949. Sinclair Lewis saw it in 1935. We let down our guard.
YEP! MAGGATs need to get the F’ out of America. This isn’t their country. Go to Russia or North Korea where you can live under dictatorship cuz that’s what u Voted for! #arresttrump
Anyone NOT opposing Trump and his syncophants are, instead, aiding in giving them power. Fear is normal, bravery is acting in defiance of it. Trump looks physically and politically weaker than ever. Turn that fear into anger, turn that anger into action, and that's how we take our government back.
Stealing this!
The Constitution doesn’t give the president ANY authority over elections
Which is why it’s so important to call out their lawlessness instead of writing garbage like that article
She is incredibly brave‼️
If you want some peaceful, beautiful posts to scroll through merida.social/tags/silentsunday (you don't have to browse my server, any Mastodon server will do and will probably have more posts to view) #fediverse #mastodon

Hey @huffpost.com — it's not "unclear" at all: he does NOT have the power to do this. See Article I Section 4 of the Constitution. constitutioncenter.org/the-constitu...
Someone smoking too close to a rubbish bin, no doubt 😉
That started months and months ago. Find them. Join up. They need you.
It’s always been remarkable to me that capitalists were able to convince people that capitalism was the best form of economic existence. I mean it IS, but only for the capitalists.
It will be September in just a few hours, so we'd better learn its Irish name! Meán Fómhair* (man FOE-ver) = 🍂 September Amárach an chéad lá de Mheán Fómhair = Tomorrow is the first day of September * méan is "middle" and fómhair is "of autumn" (winter comes pretty early here!) 🇮🇪 #IrishWOTD
Religion discourages rational thinking.
How cool is this!? #DragonCon
This is so reminiscent of Trump's first term when the media debated endlessly whether he was a racist or not 🙄
It's all a bunch of nonsense ginned up by cynical RW politicians to give their hate-filled supporters something to be angry about. Angry, emotional people are easier to control.
🥹 adorable! Congrats on the new addition to the family! 🥰

So much for America’s vaunted “academic freedom” — that sweet federal money comes first
A rich person who’s a piece of shit … imagine that
Amazingly I dropped all of my scrabble pieces on the floor and it was word for word trumps last press conference.
So beautiful! Happy Sunday, Siri! ☺️

Haigh, Damian! ☺️ I’m still snug in my bed on this very blustery morning!

They constantly brag about their “alpha-ness” but everything they do and say reveals that they are in fact the weakest, smallest, and most ignorant people imaginable.

I really love that MAGAts are so frightened of … rainbows 😂🤣😂 🌈🦄🏳️🌈🌈🦄🏳️🌈🌈🦄🏳️🌈🌈🦄🏳️🌈🌈🦄🏳️🌈
I love everything about this post ☺️ I hope you all have a wonderful time!
Night, Phee! 🥰
Oops 🤭 Sorry for your heart! ❤️u!
Thank you, Jason ☺️ @judyjaguarjetta.bsky.social @katarinakriz.bsky.social @fivetimessix.bsky.social @oldfashionednuts.bsky.social @dpsl.bsky.social @schultziepie.bsky.social @misslizzy.bsky.social @rikerjoe.bsky.social @bluthrunthru.bsky.social
Today, a little review of the days of the week, the months we've learned so far, and the seasons: Laethanta na seachtaine: Dé Luain Dé Máirt Dé Céadaoin Déardaoin Dé hAoine Dé Sathairn Dé Domhnaigh Na míonna: Iúil Lúnasa Na séasúir: earrach samhradh fómhar geimhreadh 🇮🇪 #IrishWOTD
Gorgeous!!! 😍
It's of course NOT "yearning for order in a chaotic age" — it's yearning by MEN to reassert the control over their world that they once had but which is steadily slipping away from them.
I want my home to look like this someday!
Over 300 MILLION American citizen's files stolen by DOGE. Why can't 1 person with access steal the EPSTEIN Files? #LEAKtheEPSTEIN_Files
Oh wow! 😍 If I am able to make anything decent, I’ll share it for sure!

Perfect. No notes.
I just started the masterclass! It’s great so far! Thank you for the recommendation! 🤗
Yikes
got my spice grill ready for labor day:
14 to go! Please help!
Haigh, Joe! ☺️
I’m definitely that way with my writing. Not so much with my poetry, maybe because I didn’t really study it much in school and so I know I’m a novice. Wrt art, other than what I learned in my art history courses, I know nothing. So I have low expectations 😂
I’ll post anything that turns out reasonably well 😉 The best place to find my stuff will be merida.art/aislinn
☺️❤️❤️❤️
Dé Sathairn sona! Happy Saturday! ☺️
Haigh, Josette! ☺️ I hope you enjoy yours as well!
Haigh, Doug! ☺️ You do the same!!
Good morning, Maureen! ☺️
So far, rainy and windy and cool! But it's authentic Ireland weather, so it's beautiful in its own way! 😆 I hope you have a good one yourself!
Like most of the world, we celebrate it on the first Monday in May 😉 (it coincides with May Day, which is a bank holiday) I hope you have a great weekend also! ☺️
Haigh, Jaye! ☺️ Stealing that graphic! 😉
Haigh, Nick! ☺️ Dé Sathairn sona! Happy Saturday!
Good morning, Clare! ☺️ Are you familiar with the geography of Ireland? County Clare is on the southwest coast and is simply spectacularly beautiful! The Cliffs of Moher are located there. Just thought that I'd tell you that every time I see your name, I think of that lovely part of the country!
Good afternoon, Jimmy! ☺️
My map says it’s nighttime in Melbourne 😉
Tráthnóna maith daoibh / Good afternoon to you all! (It’s just after noon here!) I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday! 💚🤍🧡
Madness. Stay safe, Yara. I think of you and of Ukraine every day.

Good morning! 😍
Just asking questions
No doubt! And more fun than a space heater! 😉
This is a shady-looking group, I must say 🤭
Well now that is a good point … 🤔
Lovely lady, though I’d be a LITTLE afraid to ask her out … 😬
