Á Ógánaigh an Chúil Chraobhaigh
With Halloween, or Oíche Shamhna, fast approaching I wanted to share an old lament with you all. This song, Á Ógánaigh an Chúil Chraobhaigh, is in Gaeilge but likely comes from an English ballad.
🕯
I've not been able to find the recording I first got this air from, though it is very similar to Eilís Ní Shúilleabháin. I've pasted an English translation of the lyrics below, from SongsInIrish.com. I hope this (very sad) song will help everyone remember where Halloween comes from, and maybe inspire you to light a candle or set a warm fire and food out for your ancestors that night.
Thank you infinitely, Jedd Greenhalgh, for recording and editing this for me!!!
And shout out to my ancestor Tunis for consenting to this photo op!
"Oh young man of the flowing hair, on which side are you?
Are you without a companion, and are you lying alone?’
‘Oh, I am without a companion and I am lying alone,
Who is that girl who’s asking, is it anyone alive from the country?’
‘It seems you do not recognize myself, the dearest of your heart?
While I am your quite flowing girl, who used to be by your side during the night.’
‘I do not recognize you while there is no piece of your beauty left,
That’s how the clay spoiled me, ray of sunlight and of wind.’
When my people suppose I am on my bed,
On your tomb I am from evening till morning,
Imagining I am down there with you and eternally weeping, my sorrow,
After my quite prudent girl who used to pledge herself to me as a child.
My family has been dealing with me, brothers and priests,
About me being in love with you, Mary, now when you are dead,
You were a shadow from the bad weather and a shelter from rain,
My sun of the winter day, and now you are down below the ground."

“Stop scrolling and please help me spread the word, because if I’ve landed on your page you’re most likely either a black woman or someone who cares about black women and the simple phrase I’m about to share could help save a black woman’s life.
Doctors are to black women what police officers are to black men. That may seem controversial but I believe it to be true and I speak from personal experience.
If you’ve seen this TikTok you know that a 2016 study showed that 50% of medical students and residents thought that black people couldn’t feel pain the same as white people.
And we learned from this video that because of a 1999 study, to this day, there’s a black correction factor for the creatinin levels in black people’s kidneys, meaning we’re less likely to recieve a kidney transplant if needed.
So if you go to a doctor, feel you aren’t getting proper treatment or they refuse the treatment you’ve requested, say to them the following:
I will need you to document on record that you are refusing the treatment (or medicine) I’ve requested, and the reason you are doing so.”
This works. I have used it in other situations. If medical staff have to document and take responsibility and be on the hook legally for doing shady shit they behave much differently.
If you weren’t already going to spread this advice because black women are at risk, then spread it because it’s applicable to everyone else as well, including you reading this.
But particularly women, and especially black women.

Why the UK can, and should, make space for our indigenous minority languages.
The ten languages indigenous to the British Isles and still spoken today are English, Scots, British Sign Language, Welsh, Gaelic, Irish, Cornish, Manx, Angloromani and Shelta.
Signal boost for this! It’s the same in France. Most of french people don’t even know that their country is originally - and still is - a multilingual country.
Yes, Occitan, Catalan, Breton, Gallo, Flamand, Picard, Basque etc are still spoken. But France refuses to sign the European charter for minority languages. Good job destroying the cultural patrimony that we are so proud of.
“To say there is no worth in learning a language that isn’t economically useful is like saying there’s no point in being friends with somebody unless they’re going to help you get a better job. It’s a spectacular, cynical miss of the point. It’s also inaccurate.”
When it comes to representation in the media, the successful establishment of separate minority language provision has absolved mainstream channels of the responsibility to feature them. But must our indigenous minority languages be ignored outside their own niche media outlets? Would it really be so bad if the occasional news item allowed a minority language-speaking interviewee to respond in their own language, with English subtitles? Or if a contestant on the Great British Bake Off did the odd subtitled piece to camera in an indigenous British language that wasn’t English? Or if newspapers like this one published an online article each week in one of our indigenous minority languages? Or, might such measures actually better reflect, and raise awareness of, our multilingual makeup? Might more people consider learning these languages? Might more speakers be inclined to use them more often, in more situations?
