Lord of the Plants:
Death Metal Eco-Baron Rewilds Irish Estate

Randal Plunkett, the 21st Baron of Dunsany, strides out of his Irish castle in a T-shirt bearing the name of death metal band "Cannibal Corpse" in bloody lettering.

In the distance, a russet-coloured stag appears for a moment, before dissolving into the 750 acres (300 hectares) of ancestral estate Plunkett has surrendered to the wilderness -- almost half of his lands.

"I felt a sort of sense of duty towards the environment here," said Plunkett, perched on a decaying tree trunk sprouting a clutch of mushrooms.

"I'm a caretaker of this estate for this generation and the estate is not just the castle, it's also the land but it's also the environment," the aristocrat told AFP, his mane of shoulder-length hair rippling in the breeze.

Eight years ago, death metal fan Plunkett, whose family have presided over Dunsany Castle northwest of Dublin for nine centuries, began his "radical" rewilding project.

The 38-year-old vegan, an unlikely successor to ancestors depicted in sober portraits lining the walls of the grey stone castle, evicted livestock and dismissed lawnmowers to allow nature to take its course.

Now, the results are plain. The ultra-rare pine marten has been spotted. Otters and red deer thrive.

Skies are jammed with birds: buzzards, red kites, peregrine falcons, sparrowhawks, kestrels and snipes.

Plunkett says a woodpecker has been sighted in the area for the first time in a century.

Beyond the castle crenellations, the lawn is transformed into a swirling morass of 23 species of grass, fizzing with insect life.

Plunkett lends a hand here and there -- planting 2,500 trees last year was no small feat -- but mostly he is hands-off.

"As I watched it, I began to understand what the land was doing," he said after trudging across a field of knotted undergrowth in a faux leather jacket.

"It became a rewilding project," he said, as two Jack Russell terriers named Beavis and Butt-head gambol around his vegan-friendly Doc Martens boots.

A new William Hope Hodgson blog

Welcome to Hodgsoniana, a new blog about the life and works of author William Hope Hodgson (1877–1918). The aim of this blog is to provide a home for articles and new research on Hodgson, details of Hodgson-related happenings, and just generally act as an up-to-date (hopefully) resource that’s open to anyone interested in this remarkable literary figure. At time of writing, there is a lack of other active websites covering this subject, which is why starting a blog seemed a worthwhile endeavour. At the very least, it gives me a place to post some Hodgson-related thoughts and findings I’ve been meaning to write up! My hope is that others may be moved to contribute also.

Before going any further, I want to recognise the work of the late Hodgson scholar Sam Gafford, and in particular his excellent Hodgson blog williamhopehodgson.wordpress.com. I first stumbled upon Sam’s blog back in 2016, and his work opened my eyes to the depths and complexities of Hodgson’s history and writings. I entered into brief correspondence with Sam at that time, and his enthusiasm and encouragement were key factors in starting me on the path of pursuing my own Hodgson studies.

Sam Gafford sadly passed away in 2019, leaving his site dormant. It remains a valuable treasure trove of information, and I will certainly aspire to follow Sam’s example in exploring and documenting all matters Hodgson.

2027 will see the 150th anniversary of William Hope Hodgson’s birth. There is still much to discuss regarding his work, and many areas of his life remain obscure and in need of further investigation. I hope this site can help in encouraging and chronicling such efforts.

The Hodgsoniana blog owner states that Sam Gafford encouraged him to pursue his own studies on Hodgson. How would he say that if he had to quote Gafford’s words?

The Ringmaster's Advice

        People say, "any publicity is good publicity" allthe time. It's become a modern truism. But people don't seem to give much thought to where it came from.

        While there is no proof that he used exactly those words, the quote is widely attributed to showman P.T. Barnum. I think it's safe to say that even if he never said "any publicity is good publicity," it describes his lived ethos.
    
        P.T. Barnum was the founder of the Barnum & Bailey Circus, billed as "The Greatest Show on Earth." He advertised fake mermaids and a woman who claimed to be George Washington's 161-year-old nurse. Barnum's traveling shows featured midgets, Siamese twins, bearded ladies, and even "Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy."

        There's no record of him saying these exact words either, but he is also widely credited with the quote, "there's a sucker born every minute."

        P.T. Barnum did describe himself as the "Prince of Humbug," proudly owning his reputation for hoaxes and "harmless" deceptions.

        Barnum was an interesting character, but he's not a man we should be encouraging other men, especially young men, to emulate. Unfortunately, his ethos is more or less what social media has been teaching kids for the past ten years.

        And at the same time, everyone complains that everything is "fake and ghey."

        Well... if you follow the ringmaster's advice, don't be surprised when you end up living in a circus.

PROFESSOR DE LÍNGUA INGLESA:

THE DIGITAL FRONTIER OF FIDELITY

The Nuances of Micro-cheating: Social Practice or Digital Paranoia ?  


In the contemporary landscape of interpersonal relationships, the ubiquity of social media has recalibrated the traditional parameters of faithfulness. The emergence of the term "micro-cheating" serves as a testament to this shift, encompassing a spectrum of subtle, digitally-mediated behaviors that, while devoid of physical consummation, suggest an emotional or erotic redirection. Such actions— ranging from the seemingly innocuous "double-tap" on an expartner’s archived photograph to the deliberate concealment of encrypted message threads—occupy a contentious "grey area" that challenges the binary definition of infidelity.  

From a socio-psychological perspective, micro-cheating is often interpreted not as an isolated act of betrayal, but as a symptom of the "validation economy." The digital architecture of modern platforms encourages a constant pursuit of external approval, where a notification can function as a dopamine-inducing ego boost. Consequently, the ambiguity of intent becomes the focal point of the debate: is the digital interaction a legitimate exercise of social autonomy or a covert erosion of the primary partnership’s exclusivity? Proponents of the concept argue that the "secrecy criterion" is the ultimate litmus test—if an interaction is intentionally shielded from a partner’s view, the threshold of trust has likely been breached.  

Conversely, skeptics caution against the pathologization of digital sociability. They argue that the expansion of the "cheating" umbrella to include minor online interactions fosters a climate of hyper-vigilance and domestic surveillance, potentially undermining the very foundation of trust it seeks to protect. By labeling these behaviors as "micro-infidelities," we risk imposing a panoptic gaze on our partners, where every "friend request" is scrutinized for subversive intent.

For the language educator, this phenomenon provides a rich semiotic field for classroom reflection. Aligning with the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), the study of such themes transcends mere grammatical decoding. It invites students to engage in "multiliteracies," analyzing how meaning is negotiated across digital platforms and how language (visual, verbal, and symbolic) shapes social ethics. In this sense, the English language is not merely a system of signs to be mastered, but a tool for critical agency in a globalized, hyper-connected world.
