Insulie de Tuskerrs, now Tuskar Rock (Wexford), appears in a 14th-century memoranda roll entry. The name is evidence of Viking presence in the area, tu means large and skar means rock in Old Norse. So the modern name literally means Large Rock Rock. #medievaltwitter #medieval

A woman gets murdered and some incel interprets it as a *bizarre kidnapped for kinky married sex* story. No respect for Sarah and no respect for her family and friends. WTF is wrong with men? #SarahEverad
