Meandered about Belfast today. The larger venues are chaos as to be expected but the buzz is great & all the wee ones playing on the streets are class. We went for a drink in the Mermaid because it's an invisible pub & staunchly Fleadh free. A wee oasis.
I need to find me an unsuspected coven.
hookland.bsky.social@hookland.bsky.social · 3h agoGoodnight from the Brackley Crafting Circle and largely unsuspected coven, meeting in the snug of The Old King pub to make a list of local perverts in need of a cursing. Goodnight from Matthew Wrench, his mermaid tattoo singing him salt-kissed lullabies. Goodnight from Hookland.
And for all those who doubt this'll work, please know they regulated the length of hat pins after women used them in self-defence: "The following year, legislators in New York argued that hatpins should not exceed 3 inches because of the physical damage they were doing to men across the nation."

Hands up if you think this is a trend we should bring back!

Oh God. Not John? Surely not John? To the best of my knowledge John had never done anything as shocking, anything as dramatic as this. Low-k

Channel 4 showing 'inside Hotel Chocolate', the luxury brand which if the cameras went 'outside Hotel Chocolate' you'd see is next door to a Kwik fit on an awful industrial estate.
WTF. And also, how dare they bring Enya into this.

Don't ever let an Irish person laugh and roll their eyes at the English again for the People's Princess debacle. Not after today. I'm lost for words.
I've accidentally discovered that fans of Glen Hansard are mass-reporting social media comments pointing out his predilection for teenage girls. I don't even know what to say about this. They're like Michael Jackson fans who smell worse
The US host cities for the 2026 men's World Cup claim that they were *verbally* promised $1 million each by Gianni Infantino and that FIFA hasn't paid up. Truly incredible stuff. www.nytimes.com/athletic/749...
We’ve just rented a projector so the kids can watch some films over August and we’re trying to source and buy treats and snacks. Ionad Hind Rajab is about more than education. It’s about getting back a little bit of childhood. 👇

I think a lot of ppl within the media really, really enjoy the idea of ppl on the left, or even progressive people of any kind, being baited by columnists. The whole ‘I may not agree with him but he wasn’t afraid to slay the odd sacred cow’ thing is entirely conditional on who the cow was sacred to.
There is no-one on this good earth more vacuous and less worthy of engaged comment than a declared 'provocateur'. A cultural housefly.
Ah no. Only just heard that Jimmy Cricket died. Lovely sweet presence. “C’mere I want you.”
Today reminds me there was a UK journalist who died and received fulsome tributes from many others. It was considered the height of rudeness when some pointed out none of the tributes had mentioned he'd killed his wife. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ka...

Théo@tlpavlich.gay · 4d agoOkay I went back and recorded the WPBL anthem. I haven't seen a clip of it yet and....it needs to never be forgotten.
The men in my FB posts demanding evidence and telling me he was never convicted and isn't it funny how this is all only coming out now. Way on and give a man a character reference, why don't you.
Fuck it. I am sick to the back teeth of people today saying they never heard Glen Hansard was a groomer so therefore those of us who did hear it shouldn't talk about it. He groomed teenage girls. He was well known for it in certain circles. He would give out burner phones for them to text him from.
Youll see archive film pop up all over the place at the Fleadh. Go to QFT and our lovely friends there have both a montage of all kinds of Trad history and amazing banners that come to life via AR and the Artivive app.
