Mairidh gaol is ceòl. Love and music will endure.
I had a lovely encounter with someone this evening over this song tonight - and would encourage you to take its message to heart. When the going is tough, keep going. Reach out when you need to, but don't give up.

Today, the song stuck in a loop in my head has been Wide Mouth Mason's "Shut Up and Kiss Me" which gets bonus points for being catchy and having a compellingly funky bass line. Have a go: open.spotify.com/track/3IlSor...

Covered the #PWHL Takeover Tour invasion of Seattle this weekend and got to see and photograph my two favourite teams in the league play. If there are other fans out there - particularly #BostonFleet or #VictoireDeMontréal - you might appreciate the gallery: www.crashingthenet.org/pwhl-takeove...

I think it's really unfair of the English to mock the Welsh for having placenames like Llanfairpwlgwnngogogoch - which adheres perfectly to the rules of Welsh pronunciation while having names like Featherstonhaugh, 'FAN-shaw.'Just de-colonize, already.

The problem is that one side won't contextually recognize anything around "shall not be infringed" and the other side won't inform itself well enough to propose legislation which is much past political theatre.
He said he didn't know why the teen opened fire but that police were searching their home.
"If we did know why, we could stop these things from happening," Barnes said.
Why isn’t the key to stopping these events. Gun control is.

Watching the PWHL opener (thanks, CBC!) and really liking the three key rule differences from the NHL:
1) Player advantage situations end on *any* goal scored with a numerical advantage. Yup, score shorthanded, your team gets to 'jailbreak' its penalized player, incentive to try to score even then.

My kilt makers have just released a Pacific Northwest tartan. I was fortunate to get the early run, and took it for a twirl. [Before stopping before my goofy ass fell down.]

Because today is metalcrafting not doomscrolling day, worked on this.
Diamond profiled (as in <>, not 💎) Damascus steel, brass, and bone. I'll probably drill through the tang and fit a titanium ring, since there are examples of ring-pommel swords, most notably Portglenone, Ireland.
