The Legend of Cú Chulainn

There are a number of versions of the story of Cú Chulainn’s birth. In the earliest version of Compert C(h)on Culainn (The Conception of Cú Chulainn), his mother Deichtine is the daughter and charioteer of Conchobar mac Nessa, king of Ulster, and accompanies him as he and the nobles of Ulster hunt a flock of magical birds. Snow falls, and the Ulstermen seek shelter, finding a house where they are…

L’hurling è senza dubbio uno degli sport più popolari in Irlanda. Le sue origini celtiche e il suo carattere esclusivamente ‘irish’ lo rendono motivo di orgoglio per gli abitanti dell’isola.

Kilkenny è la contea più titolata del paese e il successo di questa disciplina nella cittadina a sud-est dell’Irlanda è innegabile. Proprio nel centro della graziosa città medievale, a Canal Square, è stata eretta nel maggio 2016 come omaggio allo sport gaelico per eccellenza, una scultura in pietra calcarea dell’artista irlandese Barry Wrafter raffigurante tre giocatori in lotta per il possesso della palla. Il fiume Nore e il suggestivo Kilkenny Castle presenti sullo sfondo, sono il valore aggiunto per questa scultura che sta diventando un'attrazione a tutto gli effetti. 🇮🇪🚶‍♂️🏑

#OTD in 1884 – Founding of the Gaelic Athletic Association in the Hayes’s Hotel in Thurles, Co Tipperary.

Michael Cusack convenes the first meeting of the ‘Gaelic Athletic Association for the Preservation and Cultivation of national Pastimes’ in Hayes’ Hotel, Thurles, Co Tipperary. Cusack could never have envisioned that the GAA would develop into the largest amateur sports organisation in the world. His legacy can be viewed every August/September when more than 80,000 fans pack into Croke Park to…

Just learned that hurling and Camogie are in fact not interchangeable terms. Camogie is the women’s version. There are not many differences, but there are slight differences. Feeling unreasonably annoyed about this.

#hurling #camogie #Irish sports #that’s so fucking stupid and giving me dysphoria #gendered sports apparently!!

Consejos para procrastinar:

Buscar “procrastinar” en google y revisar todo lo que aparezca.

Buscar específicamente la etimología de “procrastinar”.

Asegurarse si se escribe “procastinar” o “procrastinar” o si ambas están bien.

Hablar sobre procrastinar con chatGPT.

Repetir todos los pasos anteriores que se pueda pero ahora con la palabra “akrasia”.

Enciende el cronómetro y miralo hasta que pare por sí solo.

Por la noche observa las estrellas para ver si podes descubrir el momento en el que se mueven.

Cuenta las estrellas, varias veces para asegurarte de que no te confundiste en los intentos anteriores.

Busca y anota todos los números primos que existen.

Controla el reloj para sacar captura de pantalla a horas en que los números se repiten (13:13; 14:14; y así, se entiende la idea?).

Al otro día prueba lo mismo para asegurarte de que no fue mera coincidencia.

Entabla conversación con cualquier persona mayor de 92 años. Habla claro y fuerte, sin ser groserx.

Crea una lista de todas las plataformas y redes sociales en las que no te hiciste un perfil, y te haces uno, o no.

Escribe usando solo un dedo.

Prueba dibujar líneas rectas perfectas a mano sin ayuda, o círculos, hasta que te salgan.

Visita diferentes hogares de familiares y amistades, llevate como recuerdo un poquito de papel higiénico de cada baño, y luego en tu casa cuando tengas ganas de cagar probá cada opción y encuentra las 7 diferencias con los ojos cerrados.

Busca “sismógrafo en vivo” en youtube y observa cada hallazgo un rato.

Hacete hincha a muerte de algún equipo de Hurling.

Esta es mi lista, vos crea otra. Yo la hice en el tiempo que tenía para buscar trabajo, no es un ejemplo universal pero confío en que sabrás encontrar tu momento.

Y recuerda: un día más procrastinando es un día robado al capitalismo. Que descanse en paz la productividad.
