@Seananocoistin Tá caighdeán an aistriúcháin inghlactha - ní chuireann sé isteach ar an imirt, ach níl dul na Gaeilge ar neart neart rudaí fós. Níl cur amach ar stíl tí ar bith ag formhór mór acu siúd a aistríonn abairtí ann.
I can't tell if people genuinely think that repeating trite truisms about planters and Bronze Age settlements is going to stop people's heads getting kicked in.
Are people that stupid that they think that pogroms against "immigrants" are somehow actually about the fact that the victims' ancestors haven't lived in the country an infinite amount of time? It's just distracting from the fact that it's about racism and xenophobia you tools.
The problem isn't Romanians, or foreigners, or people from Ballymena. It's men. Men attacking women and girls in a scandalously frequent rate. Their nationality is irrelevant.
Delighted to announce our new website https://t.co/TkqUOIpPLZ. The Decoding Hidden Heritages project brings together over 5,500 folktales from manuscript and printed sources. It really is a treasure trove of stories in Gàidhlig, Irish and English. @HumanitiesDCU@FiontarGaeilge
@MrBillyMorton@Pastey_n In today's nationalist discourse, people try to use having stuff "in Irish" as some sort of blunt tool of "decolonisation", which ignores that when history books are written in Irish (other than translations), they need a USP and not just rehashing stuff in English.
@MrBillyMorton@Pastey_n Even with the issues of spelling and modernisation, reading about 17th century Ireland in Irish speakers' own words does help to make the majority culture of the time feel much more "real", and not just some distant "other" largely to be discerned through English state records.
@neilojim1972 Twitter has a lot of overenthusiastic types like that. Though it would be great if there were more Vincent Morleys writing about history in Irish while not excluding English language material.
