A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

#FolkloreThursday: `There are many stories of the #Irish Wolfhound in #mythology. The most famous hounds are, without doubt, #Fionn’s two favourites, Bran and Sceolán. They were said to have been so tall, that their heads reached chest height to a man. Bran was described as ‘ferocious, white-breasted, sleek-haunched, with fiery deep black eyes that swim in sockets of blood’. Sceolán was slightly smaller, ‘small-headed, with the eyes of a dragon, claws of a wolf, vigour of a lion, and the venom of a serpent’. They feature as prominently in the exploits of the Fianna as do the warriors themselves.` #Celtic #NationalPetsMonth

#etymology musing. Was thinking about radius, radiation, and wondering whether Rad (wheel) in German is related, and it seems probably not, but roth in #Irish seems to be related to Rad! And Lasta (cargo) in Irish may be from Old English word of Germanic origin (related to "laden"), which means (I think) the Irish for cargo bike "rothar lasta" is fairly closely cognate with the German Lastenrad

(Not sure "rothar lasta" is standard, but it is in the gaeilge option here:
