Citizens of the country could be called Turtles. With all due respect to my many USA friends who are excepted, this seems appropriate for that country's recent history in that it brings to mind immense, cold-blooded creatures, and their frequent description as living fossils! π
Given the proclivity of the USA President for changing geographic names, I suggest that the rest of the world now refer to his country as "Turtle Island". This is the name originally used by the largest indigenous nation, the Navajo, for their homeland.
I see media commentary announcing the first American pope. Was not the previous incumbent American? And it occurs to me that it is surely now time to stop referring to the USA as "America" and recognise that there are many more countries on those continents.
Love this. Celebrating Nell McCafferty for International Women's Day. Another great mural for Derry!
Enjoyed so much of her writing in the 70s. Sad to learn of her passing but a long life well lived. RIP

'Etcetera' is pronounced "et-SET-uh-ruh."
There is no other word in the English language that begins with \et-set\.
This is probably why many people (not you, of course) pronounce it βecseteraβ or βexcetera.β

The (art) world has gone mad.
Watching the Irish election results come in, and wondering why everyone seems to feel it necessary to lift successfiul candidates should-high? Many are so obese it is a definite hazard for lifters and lifted alike.

Have been going for years. Even if you don't speak Estonian the sheer emotion of the experience will hit you. Amazing cultural event. Tickets go on sale in January I suspect.
