Kathleen Ní Houlihan | Ireland Personified and Irish Nationalism

Kathleen Ni Houlihan (Caitlín Ní Uallacháin, literally, “Kathleen, daughter of Houlihan”) is a mythical symbol and emblem of Irish nationalism found in literature and art, sometimes representing Ireland as a personified woman. The figure of Kathleen Ni Houlihan has also been invoked in nationalist Irish politics. Kathleen Ni Houlihan is sometimes spelled as Cathleen Ni Houlihan, and the figure is…

It went over people’s heads yesterday b/c there’s so much happening but the UK’s anti-boycott bill was not stopped at its Third Reading on the 10th. So now, it need only pass through the House of Lords for the government to hold public bodies ‘accountable’ to it.

Here is a petition to put your name down showing you disagree - evidence of how large protest will be when the Lords accept it. With large enough numbers, it might deter them, but I’m not hopeful. I have more specific action in mind going forward.

(This is a bit more north Irish centric but worth mentioning)

Unless they ever get their shit together, I have abandoned support of Sinn Féin. I strongly encourage other nationalists to do the same. I don’t know how good their work is in the south, but in the north, they’re equal to the DUP to me now. Might as well be the same party, different colours at this point.

Of the recent bills passed through UK parliament regarding occupied Palestine (and now, possibly, the right to abstain from business with human rights abusers of any flag as peaceful protest), Sinn Féin has continued to stick to its symbolic protest, its abstentionism, in spite of increasingly dire circumstances.

Why continue to give them seats at Westminster if they won’t be used even in times of crisis, in times where the politics of UK will determine that of the world?

Idealised inaction does not work in a non-ideal world. Remaining quite literally neutral on genocide over an Irish-centric hypothetical, while tangible harm comes to our fellow victims of occupation, makes you complicit in their murder. Sinn Féin are complicit in their murder.

Our Palestinian cousins deserve better. Our friends all across SWANA, as they now face a repeat of 2000s racism campaigns by western media outlets and politicians, need better.

Besides protesting directly (though kinda pointless because Stormont is still unoccupied and not all of us have ways to Westminister), I think it’s clear SDLP should be voted in where possible as MPs at the next election.

They have been present, and voted against, every recent bill regarding the lack of restraints on Israel. And while they are too neutral on nationalism for me personally, Alliance has consistently seen its deputy leader vote in Westminster against most of its worst bills. I’m grateful for his work.

We have to do more. Boycotting Starbucks and McDonalds and HP and all that isn’t enough. All those occupied and unfree shall never be at peace. There is no point in a united Ireland built by those complicit in violent imperialism. Should that happen, we will have become that of which some lost their lives protesting. It’s only right we take power off of people who won’t prioritise the victims of imperialism when the situation demands it.

#wow this got long #I’m a cartoonist and an animator and all that other stuff I am on here . but I’m a person first #politics r not the only way forward ofc . but I imagine listing ways to do that might put a target on my back #and given where I live specifically . let’s not #irish politics #northern ireland #uk politics #Irish nationalism #free Palestine #Yemen #Irish #Ireland #no one is free until we are all free

This sickens me. Our ancestors were warmly welcomed around the world when they were suffering so horribly under the English cosh. The so-called nationalists - ignorant scum - seem to have completely forgotten that. It’s hardly surprising though; they’re so incredibly thick and idiotic that I’ve seen them yelling abuse at someone in a Dublin street for not speaking English. Their bewildered victim was speaking Irish.

Imagine being so wantonly cruel to beleaguered people who’ve already been through hell and high water, have fled their beloved country - just as millions of Irish people were forced to do - and are desperately seeking sanctuary. Just imagine it!😔

#OTD in 1814 – Birth of Irish writer, who was the chief organiser and poet of the Young Ireland movement, Thomas Osborne Davis in Mallow, Co Cork.

See, I personally find this quest to find pagan/pre-Christian elements in Welsh/Irish literature quite unnerving - I don't know about anyone else.

There's something to be said about genuinely discovering pre-Christian elements in a narrative or story and that being where evidence and study has led you. But I see some people on this fruitless quest to find pagan elements in very Christian texts and sometimes it feels like if no pagan elements can be found, people start making stuff up out of whole cloth - and that can be very dangerous for already not-well known texts in minoritised languages!

There's already so much misinformation out there about Irish/Welsh texts and literature in general - so it hurts to see people carelessly adding to the misinformation either out of ignorance or lack of respect for the source material.

I promise you the source material being Christian doesn't ruin it - you can in fact, enjoy these myths without making them into something they're not!

#I feel like general ire towards (particularly) colonial Christianity has informed how people think of and view anything that is associated #with Christianity - and ire towards some of the ills committed in the name of Christianity is very valid actually #but what it isn't is approaching any text written in a Christian context and immediately disregarding it for having anything unique or #insightful to say. And in a Celtic languages context #this can be especially othering and almost fetishistic of an imagined pagan Ireland and Wales which was 'covered up' by Christianity #and that desire for people outside of Ireland and Wales to impose a kind of 'pagan faerie culture' onto the modern countries directly feeds #into false depictions of Ireland and Wales as 'lost in time' or as magical places full of latent pagan culture &c. which can be really #damaging in its own way against people who live in Wales or Ireland or who speak Welsh or Irish #this goes for other Celtic speaking nations too like Scotland Brittany Isle of Man and Cornwall #But Wales and Ireland tend to be the most focused on for this kind of treatment #luke's originals #Welsh #Wales #Cymblr #Irish #Ireland #welsh mythology #irish mythology #irish literature #welsh literature #Arthurian legends #arthurian literature
