Almost done with Constance Markievicz Irish Revolutionary by Anne Haverty.

Seamus O’Connor, a Sinn Féiner wrote that the AOH supporters kept up a barrage of shouting and throwing stones, potatoes and eggs (which they were buying at sixpence each) at the speakers’. He described how the Countess Markievicz, in a trench coat, having been hit several times with potatoes and eggs exclaimed, ‘in what to me was her peculiar accent, “I care no more for your stones than I cared for the bullets of Easter Week.”’

What an interesting life some people get to live.

Can’t wait the defeat of Ukraine to be labelled as a “defensive victory”.

I love that seed example.

It can easily be used with other topics too, like why we don’t describe an adult as a baby, that’s why we also don’t describe a trans person how they were born, but how they are now. At some point we all have been just tiny cells, right? But look at us now! We have fingers and all. How cool is that!

I mean, hardly news worthy. Prepping for Greater Finland is basic things for the Finns.

L Ireland too. SMH.

Accusations, confessions…

Bananas get deliciously sweet as they ripen. I don’t see the UK getting any sweeter as it decays. Maybe I’m thick, but what is this supposed to mean?

Se on vielä kovin hienoa, että artikkelin sisällöstä jätettiin kaikki oleellinen pois jotta “lähelle pyrkiminen” kuulostaa pahemmalta kuin mitä oli. Videosta mainitaan, mutta sitäpä ei näytetä tai edes linkata. Normi YLE.

(Edit: there was already a link in the body, but extra won’t hurt for the likes of me who’d miss it… 👵)

He just died? Wow. I didn’t know that. You’re telling me now for the first time. He led an amazing life. What else can you say?

I think he’s worth, ofc. But surely, if he consciously puts the fascist boots on and becomes a full blown bourgeoisie boot licker, then I’m not wasting my breath any longer.

Hopefully he can be helped. Thanks!

Good ideas! Thank you.

I’d love it if he actually would read Settlers. Lets see if I can nudge him to pick it up at some point.

Fine writing, but for Finns this is water on waterfowl’s back. Finns be like: “You don’t understand, we were forced to choose Hitler cause evil eastern orc horde of dirty commies was waging unprovoked war against our peaceful and pristine nation! We had no other option in this defense war! All glory to Mannerheim, the stopper of red terror in 1918!”

I’d love to have something like that!

Very true.

Class war. ☝️But yes.

Finland is pathetic and didn’t deserve independence from Russia. Constantly on the wrong side of history.
