[Scríobh @birdofmay an phostáil seo a leanas:]
So, tá's againn uilig go bhfuil Timbléir dírithe ar na Stáit Aontaithe. Ach cé mhéid atá sé dírithe orthu? (Agus an bhféadfadh le daoine na torthaí a chlaonadh inár bhfábhar trí athbhlagáil a dhéanamh air seo an fhad is ba cheart do mhuintir na tíre sin a bheith ina gcodladh ansin?)
[agus chruthaigh @birdofmay bótáil:]
An as na Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá thú? (Níl fíneáilteacht ar bith anseo...)
IS AS ✅
NÍ AS ❌
Déan athbhlagáil air seo le méid an tsampla a mhéadú!
So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)
Reblog to increase sample size!

AG SEASAMH LENÁR gCOMRÁDAITHE CEILTEACHA 🟰🟰 🤝 🇮🇪
Faraor nach bhfuil an Seinnteoir BBC ar fáil taobh amuigh de theoranta na Breataine, ach is breá liom a fheiceáil go bhfuil ábhar (nó "susbaint" 🏴🥰 - is breá liom an focal Gàidhlig seo!) á chruthú sa teanga dochreidte aiséirithe seo!! 🥳🥳
A series of short films has been produced in Cornish (with English subtitles).
I know Tumblr loves a Celtic language, so please show these some love, and then maybe more media will get produced yn Kernowek.

"Caithfidh mé é a dhéanamh"
Is cainteoir le Gaeilge Chonamara mé (Cois Fharraige, le bheith fírinneach) agus bíonn 4 ceithre shiolla á rá agam-sa nuair a deirim an abairt seo:
"Caithfidh/ mé é a/ dhéan/ -amh"
Ar nós:
"Caidh/ mé~adh/ dhéan/ -adh"
🤗✨🤗
I'm working on a new video, and I'd love to hear what people think the answer is. Unfortunately I can't tell you the subject of the video, it's top secret :)

just came across this beautiful rendition of siúil a rúin by irish-palestinian artist roisin el cherif. this song has always been close to my heart, especially after it's use in the nightingale, a film that explores the (ongoing) colonial violence on the island that i call home.
i really love the way that she weaves the arabic language into this song, as well as the influences from both irish and palestinian styles of music.
all the proceeds of the release are being donated to the doctors without borders gaza emergency regional fund so if you love her rendition as much as i do i would really recommend purchasing it on band-camp (i've linked it above).

So, tháinig mé fhéin agus cara liom aníos leis na téarmaí "athrú perscripte" agus "atheisiúint drugaí" le haghaidh an próiseas a ghabhann muintir ADHD, agus daoine eile a bhíonns ag caitheamh drugaí go leanúnach ...
Agus bhí sé seo CHOMH BARÚIL dhúinne, mar gheall go n-oibríonn an bheirt againn san earnáil Teilifíse, agus is iad "athrú scripte" agus "atheisiúint línte" téarmaí reatha a mbaineann muid úsáid astu 🤣🤣

This is proof that capitalism is not about freedom. Not even close.
In a system that values freedom, it would be expected that people would value living over working.
This is the same mentality as those who claimed to value freedom but owned slaves. They want freedom for themselves while everyone else serves them. They still haven't grown out of that.

"With “green corridors” that mimic the natural forest, the Colombian city is driving down temperatures — and could become five degrees cooler over the next few decades.
In the face of a rapidly heating planet, the City of Eternal Spring — nicknamed so thanks to its year-round temperate climate — has found a way to keep its cool.
Previously, Medellín had undergone years of rapid urban expansion, which led to a severe urban heat island effect — raising temperatures in the city to significantly higher than in the surrounding suburban and rural areas. Roads and other concrete infrastructure absorb and maintain the sun’s heat for much longer than green infrastructure.
“Medellín grew at the expense of green spaces and vegetation,” says Pilar Vargas, a forest engineer working for City Hall. “We built and built and built. There wasn’t a lot of thought about the impact on the climate. It became obvious that had to change.”
Efforts began in 2016 under Medellín’s then mayor, Federico Gutiérrez (who, after completing one term in 2019, was re-elected at the end of 2023). The city launched a new approach to its urban development — one that focused on people and plants.
The $16.3 million initiative led to the creation of 30 Green Corridors along the city’s roads and waterways, improving or producing more than 70 hectares of green space, which includes 20 kilometers of shaded routes with cycle lanes and pedestrian paths.
These plant and tree-filled spaces — which connect all sorts of green areas such as the curb strips, squares, parks, vertical gardens, sidewalks, and even some of the seven hills that surround the city — produce fresh, cooling air in the face of urban heat. The corridors are also designed to mimic a natural forest with levels of low, medium and high plants, including native and tropical plants, bamboo grasses and palm trees.
Heat-trapping infrastructure like metro stations and bridges has also been greened as part of the project and government buildings have been adorned with green roofs and vertical gardens to beat the heat. The first of those was installed at Medellín’s City Hall, where nearly 100,000 plants and 12 species span the 1,810 square meter surface.
“It’s like urban acupuncture,” says Paula Zapata, advisor for Medellín at C40 Cities, a global network of about 100 of the world’s leading mayors. “The city is making these small interventions that together act to make a big impact.”
At the launch of the project, 120,000 individual plants and 12,500 trees were added to roads and parks across the city. By 2021, the figure had reached 2.5 million plants and 880,000 trees. Each has been carefully chosen to maximize their impact.
“The technical team thought a lot about the species used. They selected endemic ones that have a functional use,” explains Zapata.
The 72 species of plants and trees selected provide food for wildlife, help biodiversity to spread and fight air pollution. A study, for example, identified Mangifera indica as the best among six plant species found in Medellín at absorbing PM2.5 pollution — particulate matter that can cause asthma, bronchitis and heart disease — and surviving in polluted areas due to its “biochemical and biological mechanisms.”
And the urban planting continues to this day.
The groundwork is carried out by 150 citizen-gardeners like Pineda, who come from disadvantaged and minority backgrounds, with the support of 15 specialized forest engineers. Pineda is now the leader of a team of seven other gardeners who attend to corridors all across the city, shifting depending on the current priorities...
“I’m completely in favor of the corridors,” says [Victoria Perez, another citizen-gardener], who grew up in a poor suburb in the city of 2.5 million people. “It really improves the quality of life here.”
Wilmar Jesus, a 48-year-old Afro-Colombian farmer on his first day of the job, is pleased about the project’s possibilities for his own future. “I want to learn more and become better,” he says. “This gives me the opportunity to advance myself.”
The project’s wider impacts are like a breath of fresh air. Medellín’s temperatures fell by 2°C in the first three years of the program, and officials expect a further decrease of 4 to 5C over the next few decades, even taking into account climate change. In turn, City Hall says this will minimize the need for energy-intensive air conditioning...
In addition, the project has had a significant impact on air pollution. Between 2016 and 2019, the level of PM2.5 fell significantly, and in turn the city’s morbidity rate from acute respiratory infections decreased from 159.8 to 95.3 per 1,000 people [Note: That means the city's rate of people getting sick with lung/throat/respiratory infections.]
There’s also been a 34.6 percent rise in cycling in the city, likely due to the new bike paths built for the project, and biodiversity studies show that wildlife is coming back — one sample of five Green Corridors identified 30 different species of butterfly.
Other cities are already taking note. Bogotá and Barranquilla have adopted similar plans, among other Colombian cities, and last year São Paulo, Brazil, the largest city in South America, began expanding its corridors after launching them in 2022.
“For sure, Green Corridors could work in many other places,” says Zapata."

I don't see people talking about this so today is the 110th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, in where the factory owners locked working women and girls inside to "eliminate the risk of theft" (in reality it was too keep them from taking breaks), which resulted in the gruesome deaths of 123 mostly immigrant women and girls and 23 men, many of whom jumped to their deaths from the ninth floor either in a panicked attempt to escape or in order to die quickly. There were reports that some of the workers were on fire already as they jumped.
The eighth floor of the building was able to telephone the tenth floor to warn them about the fire, but the factory on the ninth floor where these women and girls labored had no such communication and such warning.
The factory owners were criminally charged with manslaughter for actions that contributed to the mass deaths but acquitted. However, this tragedy led to mass sympathy to the labor movement, and unions spurred on safety regulations that passed in New York state and eventually the entire country, and activists were able to reduce child labor in the process.
This tragedy is a reminder that has been forgotten in the 110 years since: every safety regulation-- every scrap of paperwork contributing to the hundreds of pages of red tape people like to complain about--every word of it was written in the blood of a laborer.

I desperately wish that Anglo leftists weren't so keen to fall for neo-pagan horseshit history. Naomh Pádraig did not colonise Ireland. Driving the snakes out is not a metaphor for Druid genocide. Claiming that the actual religious community derived from St. Patrick, the Irish catholic church, was therefore the genocidal coloniser, is in fact kind of fucked up when you consider that that actually existing religious community (not some made up pagan feminist hippies who never existed - by all evidence, pre-Christian Ireland was a horrible caste system) was, you know, actually colonised.
Pagan bullshit makes anything to do with historical justice for Gaelic communities so much more difficult.

English words made Irish - Gaelicisation Vs Béarlachas
An raibh a fhios agat?
When speaking in Irish, native speakers are often "corrected" for using supposedly 'English-language' words while speaking...
Rather than realising that these native speakers have "Gaelicised" the words.
Yes, Béarlachas, or Anglicisation is an issue that needs to be addressed, but people often mistake this Gaelicisation process with Béarlachas, which is what I am drawing attention to in this video 🎥

if anyone says “Celtic” you have to make them explain to you what, exactly, they mean by that word. and then if they say something other than “a family of languages, of which six are still spoken or are spoken again today” (or words to that effect), you can pretty much just safely disregard whatever they’re saying as either
transmitting lies from 19th-c race scientists
transmitting lies from neopagans
transmitting lies from fantasy writers
actively lying to you themselves (less likely, but you never know)
or some combination of the above.

Rúinín beag bídeach do Stair Aireach na hÉireann
Hello from across the pond 👋 An Irish queer man here.
The very first Pride March held in a Gaeltacht community (an area where the Irish-language is spoken) took place in An Fál Carrach in 2022. Yes, you read that correctly, 2022. And despite coming, some might say, late in the history of the Irish Queer Movement, no one could deny its significance. It was a pure expression of pride, joy, and liberation.
As someone from deep rural Ireland, I cannot tell you the deep resonance I felt when I was called by the drums to not only to dance along from the sidelines, but to step out onto the street ... To FEEL the thrum of the beat, the knowledge that I, an Irish, gay, Irish-speaking person can step out into the street of a TINY rural town, no bigger than my home place, and be myself, all of myself and fully myself, surrounded by other queer people from all walks of life gathered together in this tiny corner at the northwestern-most point of Ireland 🤩.
Bród na Gaeltachta went on (and is continuing to this day to go on!) to organise a parade the next year. 2023.
Bród na Gaeltachta began to receive attention, INTERNATIONAL attention, from far-right groups who were outraged that such an event could exist, that not only were there Irish queer people, not only that there were rural Irish queer people, but that there were Irish-speaking rural Irish queer people, and enough of us with a strong enough community to organise a Pride Parade in the Gaeltacht.
An Garda Síochána (the Irish police force) got in contact with the organisers of the parade even, to warn them that the threat was serious enough that for the 2023 week of events, they would provide higher Garda presence to deter these groups from engaging in hate or extremist activities.
Boy, can I tell you that I was VERY glad for the presence of the leather community that next year, standing loud and proud, front and centre of the main march. The biggest, burliest man of them, dressed in full leather gear from head to toe INSISTING that he be the one to carry the largest trans flag in the Parade. If someone was gonna be nasty, they were gonna have to go through him!!
Now your history - but more importantly, know your community, and the support networks that exist around you. No corporation nor company was present at Bród na Gaeltachta any of the years it has been taking place. It has been a community event, letting ALL queer people, in every sense of the word come together to fly the banner 🏳️⚧️. Standing together, in support of each other, building strong the bonds that exist between us on the edge of society's "norms".
As the chant that we cried, marching up and down the main road of Fál Carrach, goes:
Bhí, Tá, is Beidh go Deo:
AERACH, AITEACH, GAELACH, BEO!!! 💪🥳🌈
(we were, we are, and always shall be: Gay, Queer, Gaelic, ALIVE!)
can we like…get rid of the so-called leather and rubber “pride flags” ? it’s honestly ridiculous and offensive to the lgbtq community. those aren’t pride flags.
