Worried about the global economy? These prints do not need to be sent through any Strait to get to you and are safe from any shipping shenanigans, AND you can burn them for fuel when all our oil runs out ✨

Anyone have experience and personal recommendations for carer support groups or similar groups for carers in Ireland, or good resources online? Particularly if you've done it while self-employed or without other support

For the uninitiated, these are Irish Throwing Stars, an ancient weapon wielded by St. Brigid during the 1916 Rising, striking fear into the hearts of the British, and responsible for the eventual smiting of both Cromwell and Thatcher.

The Biddy is an Irish folk tradition linked to Brigid’s Day and Imbolc, where groups wear white and handmade straw headpieces to travel around playing music while carrying a Brídeóg (a model Brigid in child form), warding off evil and bringing luck.

Brigid is associated with blacksmiths, spring, and cattle, among other things, and stories like blinding herself to repel men's unwanted attention. The three-armed cross here represents both the triple goddess and the trinity. Lá Fhéile Bríde shona daoibh 🌸

RE: https://mastodon.ie/@Ciaraioch/115785116698641593 Don't think I've spoken to a single artist who didn't struggle this Christmas, and I spoke to a lot, so even if it's not my work I'd really encourage people to try to support a local artist that you like instead of big corporations - every single sale makes a real, tangible difference to their life. #Art #MastoArt #MastoDaoine #Ireland #FediGiftShop

I think, with a little patience and a lot of hard work, we can make this place just as awful as Twitter 💙

Every Mastodon explanation is like "It's very simple, your account is part of a kerflunk, and each kerflunk can talk to each other as part of a bumblurt. At the moment everyone you flurgle can see your bloops but only people IN your kerflunk can quark your nerps. Kinda like email."
