RE: https://social.vivaldi.net/@Vibracobra23/115582104277526340 This is a sight I know well. It's in the town square of my husband's hometown and it's still there today. (2025-11-20 ↗)

Academia.edu is getting more and more ludicrous all the time. Latest email from them: "Hi Anna, the wolf recently confirmed that your paper Birth Narratives in Indo-European Mythology mentions them." Very coherent and helpful. I guess I need to unsubscribe from even more of their useless emails and get around to gutting my profile. I like knowing about relevant publications that people in my field post, but I much prefer Knowledge Commons for my own work. #academia #academia.edu #KnowledgeCommons (2025-11-18 ↗)

I have compiled a list of Ulster Cycle materials, including prose narratives (mostly what is in the Ulidia 1994 list) but also dindshenchas articles, some poems, and items from Cóir Anmann. There were 75 titles on the original Ulidia list, and over 200 here, so I hope that it will help lead people to some of the lesser known stories, poems, and other bits and pieces. It's available on Knowledge Commons (a wonderful and non-profit alternative to academia.edu, you can follow them @hello). The titles all link directly to CODECS for information about editions, translations, etc. (Thank you to @codecs for being such a fantastic resource!) I hope people will find it useful. It's just a first version and there will certainly be many changes and additions needed in future, but I think it's in a state to be of some interest and use, at least. Corrections and suggestions are very welcome! https://works.hcommons.org/records/bdb7a-50d66 #UlsterCycle #IrishLiterature #MedievalLiterature #MedievalIrishLiterature #CelticStudies (2025-11-06 ↗)
