Faroese artist Díðrikur á Skarvanesi died in obscurity, but his illustration of Faroese breeding birds (approx 1830s) is truly unique.

Can I share this curious bit of Faroese art factoid. The first Faroese artist Díðrikur á Skarvanesi died in obscurity, but his illustration of Faroese breeding birds (approx 1830s) is truly unique and (mayb biased) but I think this great skua is particularly beautiful 🌍🧪

Hate (lol) to be that guy (am I doing the bsky-can’t-understand-a-joke thing?) but it doesn’t seem like they’re related, at least as far as Wiktionary etymology gets me
![Etymology (ᾍδης, Ancient Greek)
For *ἄϝις (*áwis, “unseen”), from Proto-Indo-European *n̥wids (“unseen”)[1] equivalent to ἀ- (a-, “un-”) + the root of ἰδεῖν (ideîn) + -ς (-s). The root nominal was remodeled into an ᾱ-stem. Compare ἀϊδής (aïdḗs, “invisible”), which looks very similar, but is most likely based on the etymon of the related σ-stem εἶδος (eîdos).
Aspiration arose in Attic under the influence of the definite article ὁ (ho).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:udocvyz276ndygmdvbsdlehq/bafkreiaoykxobkvyi5vwdh7shc2s65z53vjo6gbapnhlnokmowbt7aefuy@jpeg)

The Faroese football season draws to a close with KÍ Klaksvík as the champions, completing the season unbeaten. On the final day they won 4-2 away to NSÍ Runavík, who end the season in 3rd.
With KÍ as champions, it puts them in a strong position to qualify for Europe next season. 🇫🇴⚽️ #BetriDeildin

Undefeated. Champions for the 22nd time. 🏆💙
What a season it’s been — and tonight, we celebrate it together in Klaksvík!
But we’re not done yet… The Cup final is coming up on Friday, and we hope to see all of you there backing the boys one last time this year!

At the Frankfurter Buchmesse last week I got our copies of the Faroese translation by Julia Rutt Petersen of my 2 #RainbowFamilies children's books illustrated by Elīna Brasliņa.
Faroese is the 43rd language these books have been translated into!
😍😍

Yeah, the Faroes are still part of the kingdom of Denmark, so there’s a lot more Danish influence there than in Iceland.
If you go back a thousand years, Swedish and Icelandic were the same language, so there are many similarities. But Faroese and Icelandic are a lot closer.

The selkie is a creature from Irish, Faroese and Scottish folklore who has the appearance of a seal in water, but sheds its skin to come ashore and reveal a human form. If a human finds the skin and hides it, the selkie cannot return to sea. 🦭

@FourT4 Humanities doesn't preclude Linux, surely? I was a humanities student! It's a damn sight easier to achieve everyday functionality in Linux than Akkadian and Oscan and Faroëse.

Icelandic is cool. Faroese is also close, but it has a much bigger phonetic change - and holy shit was it big, the Faroe Islands has free courses. But some of the innovations of Icelandic are hidden by a very conservative orthography and enthusiasm.
West Norwegian is also West Norse.

Had an interesting conversation with a Faroese person last night who said his position is that he’d like the Faroes to be independent eventually, but only when the country is ready to handle the costs of it. I found it fascinating because that position basically does not exist in Scottish politics 🤔
> I'm also a least worst case unionist (in the Scottish independence sense) in that I think independence would make many people much worse off for a long time, like Brexit has done, but that too means uncomfortable adjacency to flag shaggers, empire apologists and, well, that whole Brexit lot. >
