All manner of nerdery and geekery. Gaming. TTRPGS. Dogs. Environment. History. Dubliner. Queer. Trying to use more Irish - please feel free to correct me if I make mistakes! Apparently I talk a lot about folk music.

Happy Michaelmas! In some parts of Ireland on this day, rent could be paid in geese. If you’re due to pay rent this month, please consider setting a very irritated goose on your landlord in lieu of payment, in the name of upholding important Irish traditions.
A drawing of mine of a goose looking concerned, with a tag around its neck that reads "This month's rent, with thanks".

What is the point he’s trying to make? The ‘country idiot’ voice he puts on to play his strawman seems to think a holiday on the 12th means a mandatory orange sash and big drum for every house in the country. Does he think we’re that stupid? (Yes)

Being lectured to by a British Lord is especially galling. So long as genocide scholars call it a genocide, that’s how I’ll describe it. So long as the UN call it a genocide, that’s how I will describe it.

I know we hold too tightly and too long to our grievances, but I saw someone (English) on this here app suggest the residents of the Garvaghy Rd turn the Drumcree march into a silly carnival. It’s been 28 years since the Quinn children were murdered. Maybe ye don’t hold on to your grievances enough?

Newspapers should be required to fact check their columnists. Anti-train columnist Colm McCarthy claims that the only publicly available cost benefit analysis of MetroLink is from a preliminary assessment in 2022. An updated cost benefit analysis was published last week.
Colm McCarthy:
There’s a gaping hole in the case for the €16bn MetroLink

Arriving late to the "new flag for Ireland" debate to say given a UI at the moment is technically a hypothetical surely the more practical discussion is what are Unionists and Britain doing to make sure the Irish feel welcome in the UK in other news 200 cops are coming from Scotland to Drumcree
