Anyway, while I'm hunkered down waiting for this hurricane to pass, have this wild play about a meet-up between Niamh 2.0 and Gráinne ní Mháille.

@Amylouioc It's a bleak, bleak world for those of us who just want to have a little sticker on our laptops without seeing AI Bodybuilder Cú Chulainn.

scrolling through the Irish myth stuff on Etsy and widely oscillating between rapid descents into depression seeing all the A/I shite and quiet reverence for the crafty entrepreneur with the shamlessness to sell bottled St Brigid's well water.

I can't make any promises, but, by (incredibly popular) demand, Shaun Davey's suite *might* be making a brief cameo in my next paper on Gráinne ní Mháille.

@IMC_Leeds asked and so I'll deliver: Me and the slightly awkward statue of Richard III at Middleham. (I fell in love with it at first sight.)

My nightmares now apparently include "Can't remember which Dindshenchas text I'm referring to but knowing it's in there *somewhere*"

@MarieTheuerkauf @HarvardCeltic @FSAnglistikBonn @MSCActions We'll be very glad to have you! (Also, we might have to hit up The Hourly again, I don't have the excuse to go when it's just me.)

Listening to Paris Paloma's "Labour" in the hopes that the concentrated fury will help give me the momentum to finish this conference paper.

@Amylouioc Bonus if you say that the TDD are the Seelie and the Fomoiri are the Unseelie -- Put those medieval figures BACK in their historical context or so help me God.

No matter how starved I am of Irish mythology content, I clock out the second I read a synopsis mentioning the above ideas. Begging fantasy writers to actually do some research for once.
English
Posting this on all platforms because I can’t bare it any longer. If you, yes YOU are currently working on a book/game/short/etc inspired by Irish myths and folklore (specifically!!) then stop referring to Seelie/Unseelie Courts and the fae! Please! I can’t do this any longer

It isn't even done yet and we have references to the dissertation being divided into "acts" with "dramatis personae."

I think that my prospectus might be the single most aggressively recovering theatre kid thing I've ever written in my life.

Several tales make it clear that Oisín and Patrick are having a conversation. Sometimes they speak with quite a degree of civility. Versions of Laoi na Mná Móire (such as fionnfolklore.org/#/item/2610) see them speak in a friendly manner at the start and end of the tale.

Tá Mí na Féile Pádraig linn! With St. Patrick's day coming along soon we should remind ourselves that it was Patrick and his scribe who supposedly collected the stories we know and love from Oisín or Caoilte. Oisín and Patrick had many debates, not always good-natured

@ShanRoseParker My best friend from my program in Cork had a XBox, and so I played through the entire series while I was there, as soon as it was possible to visit other people when the pandemic was called. I can't overestimate how much those games meant and still mean to me.

@RachelA_Martin Fable is my all-time favourite game franchise. Must have played each one 5 times or more ...
English
I'm not including BG3 just because it's ongoing, but Fable II, which got me through a pandemic, Endless Ocean, which nearly convinced me I wanted to become a marine biologist, Valhalla, which I've made so many friends and connections because of, and the one that started it all.

Retweet with photos of games that hold a special place in your life. Here are the four games that would most define why I make games today: The feeling of adventure of Grandia. The poetic tale of FFX. The unique beauty of Homeworld. The epic journey of Tales of Symphonia.

@aliciaandrz @AcademicChatter Sometimes, something stuck out to the students that isn't on the formal agenda for the section -- if so, strike it, because explaining why the texts work a certain way, imo, is more important.
English
@aliciaandrz @AcademicChatter The first thing I do, each section, though, is to ask them what they THOUGHT of a specific text, inviting them to be subjective. This might seem to be unacademic and counter-productive, but it helps me gauge the feeling in the room and what might need to be explained.

for years, I’ve used this exercise to introduce my expectations for class discussion: divide students into two groups (usually more & less talkative). have one group manage their own discussion of the reading while the other takes notes. then switch. after: discuss the discussion
