"The relationship of the Æsir to the giants is fundamentally colonial." Have I, or have I not, been screaming this all along? It's refreshing to hear it outside of myself.

I've deleted my Vivaldi Mastodon account, wasn't getting any engagement there from my editing community or anyone. I posted about my cat's death and no one responded. For a month.

I started a Mastodon Social account for greater search results (I don't know why my reach on my instance is so limited!), and there are no active #OldNorse or #ScandiMyth accounts I'm missing! It's just me, I dominate these hashtags. So that's a solo path and I can't expect it to be anything else.

My fascination with giantesses started at a young age, with 'Attack of the 50 Foot Woman' and 'Village of the Giants.' I found them in movies, TV shows, commercials, video games—finally studying #ScandiMyth for traces of heathen giantess-cults. I wonder what it all means. #ÞórsdagsÞrautin

Next week I'll host my presentation on "Giantesses: the Women the Gods Could Not Control," discussion the origin and evolution of the giantess before and after Old Norse mythology.

Before this, I will hold a practice run in Google Meet this Saturday at 8 pm CST. I'll hold another presentation later to accommodate UK/Scandi time zones. If you'd like to attend, please fill out this form. #OldNorse #giantess #ScandiMyth

Giantesses: The Women the Gods Could Not Control

This will be an hour-long presentation on the evolution of the giantess concept in heathen Scandinavia and into Old Norse mythology, taking place Saturday, Jan. 24, 8 pm (CST). Before the presentation, I'll email a Google Meet link to participants. You don't need to use your camera; feel free to use a pseudonym.

For #FylgjendaFryádagr, I'm not really following any #OldNorse accounts here and therefore have none to recommend.

On FolkRealms I only really talked to two people, so week after week I only had them to recommend. And one of them I was badly mistaken about.

Guessing that meeting new people within Old Norse and #ScandiMyth is as difficult as trying to make friends in Minnesota.

I'm spilling the beans on giantess updates in wrestling, gaming, and Old Norse mythology! #SizeFantasy #giantess

That's About the Size of It

A departure from my usual fare, in which I represent various theories on how the #OldNorse #runes were created, and how I made my own. #ScandiMyth

The Origin of the Runes

The study of Old Norse and the pursuit of giantess cults led me to carve my own sets of runes.

Exceptionally pleased to have obtained a copy of Dr. Jackson Crawford's translation of the Poetic Edda, 2nd ed.

I'm looking forward to studying this all over again, including the linguistic choices Dr. Crawford opted for this time around. #OldNorse #ScandiMyth

New year, new #introduction.

This account contains multiple registers. I'm interested in #giantess and #TinyMan #SizeFantasy content, but I'll also shift to #OldNorse and #ScandiMyth scholarship. Occasionally I'll rant about fantasy, grief, and desire.

This is just my personal abyss whose domain and hosting I'm paying for, just to shout into. Maybe I'll never figure out what I'm doing here.
