A great big happy Saint Patricks Day to all who celebrate. ☘️🇮🇪

A national day that somehow gets away with being positive and inclusive rather than jingoistic. How? Because Irish people are universally fucking awesome.

So I hope you celebrate in a way that is suitable to you that involves actual Irish food and culture - perhaps a pint of the good stuff if you're so inclined. I would personally prefer if you didn't drink 15 pints with green food dye, wearing one of those silly mass-produced and offensive hats then throw up everywhere, but look each to their own and if your culture is being a total nobhead, well life is a rich tapestry - fill your boots. But know that it's more about you and your animalistic side than my forebears.

Have a super day everyone. EXCEPT SNAKES.

Mini Irish pubs roll into New England for St. Patrick's Day

Two Massachusetts brothers have built a fleet of miniature Irish pubs on wheels. They tow the miniature bars to backyards, weddings and neighborhood parties across New England. The business began during the pandemic when brothers from Reading started building an authentic-looking pub in a driveway. Now the Wee Irish Pubs travel from March through December, serving as the centerpiece of St. Patrick’s celebrations, bachelor parties and family gatherings. Inside, church pews, antique decorations and a bar made from an 1864 piano recreate the feel of a traditional Irish pub. For many hosts, the miniature bars offer a place for neighbors, friends and family to gather and celebrate together.
