The Medieval Masterpiece, the Book of Kells, Is Now Digitized and Available Online

omg.

Thinkpad T480 mentioned!!

That's great! I have been wanting to begin learning bodhrán. I recently picked up mandolin (and octave) and its great.

Too bad I will not be near! My partner and I are in London for a couple days, then straight to see my family in Armagh.

Maybe next time.

Great news! What do you play in the session? I'm back in (and around) Ireland this December and trying to find sessions.

Just got word that I’ll be chairing a panel for the first time! V excited.

Amazing — sorry "Awesome" — list of Bluesky tools, services, and related websites:

For me, it’s mostly just that I see more stuff that’s plainly relevant to my day-to-day. Like, I’m just feeling closer (?) to people on here—like I feel inclined to comment. The lack of ads is really great, too!

You’ve convinced me to get one. These look great!

I only saw MuppetVision 3D closing.

Smdh should have read the whole thing.

The problem with pieces like this, which are countless, is the prevailing media assumption that left-of-center Americans need constant corrective instruction about how to be in and engage with the world, whereas right-of-center Americans are simply to be observed in awe, like rainbows or mountains.

YouTube video by Glenn Ritchey III Interview with John Trefry (Inside the Castle)

I interviewed @incastellated.bsky.social for my ENC 1101 class! You can check it out here: youtu.be/CN1HxbgxPoY

Announcing a forthcoming book of writings on/about/astride/within John Trefry's book MASSIVE.

DECAPITATING MASSIVE will feature texts from Logan Berry, Mike Corrao, Charlene Elsby, Mike Kleine, Grant Maierhofer, AV Marraccini, and Glenn S. Ritchey III.

MASSIVE is out on December 2.
