If anyone ever tries to tell you that LGBTQ+ is "unnatural" they're wrong.

Almost every species that has been studied has shown some homosexual behaviour or non-binary gender states.

Always be proud to be who you are.

Wondering about "Prince[ss]"? We have men fighting for women, women fighting for women, and one woman fighting for a man. There will be a princess. Time will tell if there will be a prince!

O, the month of May, the merry month of May,
So frolic, so gay, and so green, so green, so green!
Dun in Mara's May event is Coronet, where the next Prince[ss] and Princess will be chosen by armoured combat. 10th-12th May, across the road from Newgrange. https://t.co/cyFAVwXi9H

There are still beds available and day tripping can be booked too.
Newgrange is an ancient site, over 5,000 years old, in the Boyne Valley north of Dublin, and well worth a visit.

Happy new year from the shire of Dun in Mara! 🎇
Our years are based on the date of the first SCA event, a party on May Day in 1966, 53 years ago. That makes this AS 54—like CE, there's no year 0.
Tonight we celebrate with archery! 7-10 in St John Bosco Youth Centre, Drimnagh. 🎯

And our very own @AodhOSiadhail gave a class on making mulawaja, a "quick" 10th century Arabic meat dish.
It's very good. A poet once said "Mulahwajāt with wine undiluted—these are my healers and rejuvenating tonics."
