Blessings Darlings!
Seriously weird post-apocalpytic dreams last night. Low-tech tribal societies, with societal pressure against technology. Then THAT old trope – a cool piece of technology roars into town … Continue reading…

At 2:30 this morning someone insistently leaned on our doorbell. Then did it again. I stagger to the door, “Dude? What the fuck?” “Are those your fields?” … Continue reading…

BOOK REVIEW Language and Tradition in Ireland
Full Title: Language and Tradition in Ireland: Continuities and Displacements
Synopsis: If language and culture are intimately connected, then cultures involving people who speak more than one language must have special characteristics, as well as particular social issues to negotiate. What are the challenges faced by a people with two or more languages as their heritage? How does that multiple heritage affect cultural forms, including literature and the arts? How does linguistic difference influence the conceptualization and writing of history? And if the meeting of languages within a people has involved contestation and power, how are those conflicts negotiated?

Unexpected Garden Time!
Blessings, Darlings!
News? WaPo has a GREAT article on ‘excess deaths’ since the Corona Virus started. A base line on the REAL death toll. Tho’ it is probably still somewhat light, since accidental deaths (car accidents, etc) are going to be down with less folks on the road and such. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2020/04/27/covid-19-death-toll-undercounted/?arc404=true
I’m feeling sluggish again today. I mean, I got up and … Continue reading…
April Ran Away.
Blessings Darlings!
Holy cow – April has run away with out me. Here it is, practically the end of the month, and I’m WAY behind in getting things planted. To be fair – I’m always behind in planting. Every single year. But I thought that this year would be different, being, ya know, jobless. I DID get … Continue reading…
