Got called 'madam' for the first time today which was unexpected but what really got me was that when I looked down at the guy's nametag it was my fucking deadname on there
"Aphrodite loves terfs" do you really think a goddess of love formed from a literal penis and the mother of Hermaphroditus, an intersex god who was associated with androgyny and feminine men, fucks around with transphobia?
she is a literal trans icon and to deny that will get you smited by all the gods

I SOLVED THE PUZZLE
eagle: so what do you think about stigmata
prometheus: you know we're in a pre-christian myth, right? like that word doesn't exist yet. your dumb joke is anachronistic.
eagle: stigma talons in your flesh
"mom's not home, you know what that means" walks around the house talking to the imaginary audience for three hours straight
Also btw every single complaint about irish pronounciation and spelling in schools would be solved if we hammered in the slender/broad distinctions early because it would become abundantly clear why this 't' has to be surrounded by 'i's and it isn't just a thing they decided to do one day and more people would be able to spell words from just hewring them and pronounciation from just reading them send tweet
Here's a brief post about pronounciation i made. You can also go to the wikipedia page for irish phonology or listen to the audio files on Focloir.ie to try pick up in the nuances, especially effective with words that sound similar except for the slenderness. (Beo vs. Bó, Can vs. Ceann, etc.)
OP's post is a great basic introduction, and if you want some more detailed information, here's some more resources! I've put a good beginner one here, with some more complex ones + notes under the cut.
