Words matter. The Israeli military did not “intercept a ship and escort it to safety.” The Israeli military did commit a violent act of piracy against a UK flagged vessel in international waters as it fulfilled a legal right to reach Gaza and alleviate suffering, then abducted its crew and transported them by force to Israel under threat of execution.

Not a single corporate media outlet has had the courage or integrity to correctly label this horrific injustice. Legacy media has failed us all.

It's been a while Mastodon. I'll keep checking. Dunno if I will be interactive.
@WebsterMedieval thanks. I have that book on my list to acquire. I just thought she'd be such an interesting figure to do a deep dive into
Medievalists. I like to think I am pretty good at finding resources but struggling to find in-depth research into Nicola de la Haye (included searching spelling differences). Has anyone done a thesis or dissertation or book on her specifically? #History #medieval #histodons
Today we went to Scale & Feather Meadery for their Medieval Market event, picked up a few bottles of Butterbrew Mead, had a drink and played a game while there. #SmallBusinessSaturday
We do holiday dinners because everyone has time to do dinners together on the holidays. We don't do them to celebrate the holiday. I would rather be able to get everyone together at random intervals throughout the year, but one must operate on society's schedule in some ways.
@ClaraJeanMC welcome!

Just when Mastodon couldn’t get any more endearing, I find the #defaidodon hashtag — which translates to sheep in #Welsh.

Literally, pictures of sheep mostly from the Welsh instance of Mastodon 🥰 (toot.wales)

You’ll even find the photos captioned in Welsh & English!!

Still getting the layout here. I can't seem to login from my PC browser so I need to fix that before I will actually use it much. I dislike typing on the phone.
