  1. The land doesn't hold its shape that way. Two breaths, then: in through the nose, a second short sip stacked on top, out long and ragged. Three times.
    That second sip is the part that actually reaches the nerve.

    Cùm do chasan air an talamh — keep your feet on the ground.

  3. Your body has been braced since somebody said the small mean word at a fairground. Bracing isn't weakness — it's a nervous system doing the job it evolved for. The trouble is nobody ever tells the body when the thing is over, so it holds that shape into September, into a jaw that clicks and a shoulder that will not come down.

  5. And take the warning as seriously as the remedy: same family as aspirin, so if aspirin's off the table for you, so is this. Blood thinners, pregnancy, a child with a fever — no. Ask your pharmacist. She'd rather you asked than didn't.

  7. Seileach. Willow bark, and it is not folklore standing next to medicine — it is where the medicine came from. Salicin in the inner bark, converted by your gut into salicylic acid, which is aspirin's own chemistry with the factory left off

  15. An Lanntair: In a special edition of our monthly social gathering for all creative islanders, we’re setting up a big screen to share two films by island artists, Jill Smith and the late Ron Coleman.
    This is a limited capacity event so book early!
    An Avebury Journey by Jill Smith
    A pioneering performance artist, Jill Smith’s work was recently recognised by the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh, who commissioned her for a year-long project, Zodiac Journey (in collaboration with photographer Mhairi Law) for the gallery’s 50th anniversary. An Avebury Journey, filmed on Super 8 in the early 1980s, marked the beginning of her transition from Jill Bruce, creative partner and wife of artist Bruce Lacey, to creating work on her own as Jill Smith. Unfinished at the time, the silent footage has now been edited by Izzy McEvoy and Jill Smith, and will be screened in public for the first time tonight, accompanied by an improvised live score by Andrew Eaton Lewis and Ralph Tonge.
    Caught in this Moment of Time
    Adapted from Ron Coleman’s play which toured Scotland, this short film directed by Ian Bustard is Ron’s final piece of work, and part of his remarkable legacy. Ron was a pioneering mental health and dementia activist who later became a playwright and poet. Caught in this Moment of Time dramatises his experiences as a writer with dementia, and his relationship with his AI home help, Alexa. In his final performance, Ron plays…

  16. The question I asked in today's issue, and I mean it as a real one: what have you actually turned your face toward this week, and what did it cost you to keep looking? I'm answering every one of these in the comments under the piece.

  17. The goldenrod does not check the roll call, and tonight neither do you. Carry what's yours.

    Set the rest down at the door like muddy boots — because it is muddy, and it isn't yours, and you've been hauling it up the stairs all week like a martyr with a subscription.

  18. Tha sinn fhathast an seo, agus tha an talamh a' cuimhneachadh — we are still here, and the earth remembers.

    Put one hand flat on the nearest solid thing. Table, wall, tree, floor. Leave it there for one whole breath before you read another headline.

    The empire can schedule its shabby little votes for four in the morning if it wants. #Gàidhlig #Gaelic #Alba #MastoDaoine #Druid #Folklore #Lùnastal #Blessing #Solidarity #QueerNews #Seasons

  19. An Lanntair: Songwriters Circle is our monthly gathering for island songwriters, to try out ideas on each other with no pressure, no expectations, an no audience except a group of kindred spirits who can offer encouragement and ideas.
    It’s a chance to share unfinished songs, get feedback, and find people to collaborate with. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced musician, new members are always welcome!

  20. I enjoyed this program presented by Michael Rosen. Someone whose writing and broadcasting I have long enjoyed. He is not a #Gaelic speaker (although Roddy Maclean who takes a prominent role in the discussion is) but for I presume mainly speakers of English it is great.

    Bruidhinn Gàidhlig. Bruidhinn mu dheidhinn na Gàidhlig.

  21. nuair a tha mi fhìn nam sheasamh
    aig ceann Loch an Dala
    ’s mi a’ coimhead thar cuain geur
    a’ deàrrsadh ’s a’ deàlradh
    fo ghrian na sìorraidheachd
    chan fhaic mi sgath dhen ghlasadh cheilteach…

  22. An Lanntair: “Suddenly I understood how the sound of the dance can be a part of the music.”
    Join fiddle player Amy Geddes for a workshop where we’ll learn tunes to play for stepdance and explore the technique of playing for this percussive dance. As well as separate sessions for musicians and dancers, we will spend time learning together, creating a deeper understanding of how the dance is part of the music. A joyful exploration of how to “talk” to each other with our instruments and feet. Suitable for intermediate upwards musicians who can play dance tunes at a steady tempo; all instruments that can play in standard keys.

    mar gum biodh am brat-sgàile air a reubadh

  25. Dheigheadh sinn a dh’iasgach,
    mi fhèin is m’ athair,
    is lìonadh sinn an eathar le
    peilichean de rionnach, liutha,
    is dheigheadh sinn timcheall a’ bhaile
    gu gach nàbaidh gus am biodh na peilichean falamh…

  26. Gabh anail — take a breath — and let the next one be longer going out than coming in. Tha an talamh gad chumail — the earth is holding you. Not a metaphor: gravity, the floor, the oldest promise the ground ever made and never once broke. twp.ai/4hsZED

  27. “Nor is heaven as is alleged.
    Nor is hell as is asserted.
    Nor is the good eternally happy.
    Nor is the bad eternally unhappy.”

    Scaring off the Loch Ness Monster is quite an achievement, but my favourite St Columba story is the one where he buries St Oran alive, twice
