Hey Canadian Mastodonauts - here's where we're at.

We had some instability the last few days, and it's because the PostgreSQL server (the long term memory for our community) needed more resources.

Giving it more resources means we spend more money, so we went from USD$240 to USD$431/mo. This […]

Information about this year's livestream of the Winter Solstice at Newgrange/Brú na Boinne, including links for where to watch. Looking forward to seeing this on Sunday morning! […]

This is a sight I know well. It's in the town square of my husband's hometown and it's still there today.

Academia.edu is getting more and more ludicrous all the time. Latest email from them:
"Hi Anna, the wolf recently confirmed that your paper Birth Narratives in Indo-European Mythology mentions them."
Very coherent and helpful.
I guess I need to unsubscribe from even more of their useless emails […]

I have compiled a list of Ulster Cycle materials, including prose narratives (mostly what is in the Ulidia 1994 list) but also dindshenchas articles, some poems, and items from Cóir Anmann. There were 75 titles on the original Ulidia list, and over 200 here, so I hope that it will help lead […]

We've all heard about #RFKJr 's most recent nonsense: That the use of #Tylenol by pregnant women allegedly causes #autism in their children.

I've also talked how this ties in to older #folklore that encourages #ableism - the #changeling narrative, in particular. Since I've gotten a lot of […]

"Continuity and Change in Medieval Irish Law" - a one-day workshop taking place Friday October 24 at University College Dublin. In-person and online attendance possible. Details in link […]

Yesterday I got knocked down by an idiot illegally riding an e-scooter on the sidewalk. I had to talk to the police and go to the hospital in an ambulance for x-rays and stitches in my forehead. I am always so impressed by the health services here. I was home again less than 5 hours after […]

The provincial government wants to sell the building hosting F.A.C.E. school instead of renovating it. Parents have started an official ePetition.

3/3 I do hope that more people will consider bridging their accounts. It is really nice to be able to communicate with people on other platforms without being locked into to a particular service. It benefits everyone. To bridge a Mastodon account to Bluesky, just follow @bsky.brid.gy. To bridge […]

Less good: I can see that I have followers on Bluesky, but I can't see who all of them are. Also, if a Bluesky account comments on a post, I can see that a comment is there but I can't see it or respond unless that account is bridged to Mastodon. (I'm not being rude and ignoring you!) I'm also […]

It's been a few months now since I bridged my Mastodon account to Bluesky. It's not a perfect system, but I do think it's very worth doing. The good things are that it is really easy to set up, my Mastodon posts automatically appear on Bluesky without me having to do anything, and I can interact […]

There's still time to submit an abstract for the 18th conference of the International Association for Comparative Mythology. The deadline is April 5th. The conference will be held June 2-5, 2025 in Seoul and online (hurray for hybrid conferences!!!). The main theme for the year is Communicating […]

I was planning to start the second series of posts on my blog about the Ulster Cycle right about now. Sadly, we lost our beloved dog last week and it's very hard to feel interested in or excited about anything at the moment. I think once I'm feeling a bit more functional I'll start with writing […]

View of two of U.C.L.A.'s buildings on the Westwood campus, as seen from the bridge. First building in the foreground is Haines Hall. Building was built in 1928 and designed by George W. Kelham. The twin towers of Royce Hall are seen in the background. This building was built in 1928-29 and designed by Allison and Allison, Architects. Both buildings were constructed in a northern Italian Romanesque Revival style, inspired by Sant' Ambrogio in Milan (12th century). The Physics Building and Library are on the right. This approach is from Hilgard Avenue.

I had such fun chatting with @onthetudortrail.bsky.social about monsters and monster-making in the sixteenth century, on the Talking Tudors #podcast!

The call for papers for the 18th conference of the International Association for Comparative Mythology is out. The conference will be held June 2-5, 2025 in Seoul and online. The main theme for the year is Communicating with Spirits: Beyond the Human World, but papers on other topics are also […]

They are both at times portrayed as scheming and deceitful, but they fit well together and accept each other. Until they don't. The one relationship that Ailill can't seem to get past is Medb's affair with Fergus, and it leads to Fergus' death. When Ailill is later carrying on an affair of his […]

Ailill grew to be a powerful warrior, and Eochaid Dala became jealous. He challenged Ailill, and Medb intervened to ensure Ailill's victory. After Eochaid's death, Ailill ruled Connacht with Medb. Many stories say that Medb kept Ailill as her husband because he was a man without meanness […]

The relationship between Ailill and Medb is a fascinating one. Medb's first partner was Conchobar, but she left him. Her second partner was Tindi mac Connra, who declared war on Conchobar because he raped Medb. Tindi was killed by his own brother at Conchobar's urging. Eochaid Dala then took […]

The fact that Óengus buys Étaín for Midir isn't exactly romantic, and he's only doing it to compensate Midir for an injury that he sustained in Óengus' territory. The relationship between Óengus' parents might qualify much better as a romance. The Dagda sends Bóand's husband away and literally […]

The second woman Óengus is linked with is Cáer Ibormeith, who visits him in his dreams and makes him sick. When his lovesickness is diagnosed, cooperation and exchanges of favours between various members of the Túatha Dé Danann and humans are required in order to locate Cáer Ibormeith and […]
