Here's one from Orkney for Women's Day, in Sc. Gaelic & ogham script (Buckquoy, S-ORK-005). It probably reads BENDDACTANIML "a blessing, soul of L".

took me a long while to realize that "masking" is not necessarily a hyperrealistic mask that convinces everyone you're not wearing one

could also be a grotesque or outlandish thing, worn – successfully or not – to conceal the unbearable ugly mess of the wearer's internal self-perception

makes it more tangible :)

Dogshit = terrible, v bad

👍👍 increasing use of "dogshit" in place of just "shit"
