Cloistear go minic anois nach bhfuil an Ghaeilge comhoiriúnach le Éire ilchultúrtha. Ach, tá fear ón bPalaistín ag teagasc na hAraibise trí Ghaeilge. We often hear now that Irish is not compatabile with a multicultural Ireland. But there is a Palestinian man teaching Arabic through Irish.

🧵 I want to follow up this earlier thread by examining why the USA finds itself in the state it does at the moment; the process of disordered discourse capturing state institutions and how it inevitably results in a slide towards authoritarianism, a process we're seeing unfold before our very eyes.

On 16 Sept 1642 Rosa O'Doherty signed this letter. Here it is for #InternationalWomensDay2025 , 383 years later. This is possibly a unique surviving example of a 17thC signature of a #Gaelic Irishwoman. (The letter is now in @ucdarchives part of the Franciscan collection)

Umberto Eco put together a now-famous list of 14 attributes of fascistic states. I'm going to discuss each of them in hopes this helps ppl understand that fascism is not just a buzzword. We're going to go through these by theme, so strap in. 🧵

What a line! "I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me."

Thought that since some people like to talk endlessly about saving women's sports that I'd make a list of the most pressing issues that need addressing to improve the lives of female athletes. Would be awesome if these folks took a break from the one-note culture war to help address these.

I'm looking to speak to people who have changed their names in some way to fit in or for others' convenience since moving to Ireland. Get in touch if this is you and you don't mind sharing your story. 🙏🏽

With so many US social media HQs for Europe based in Dublin - and their compliance with EU law regulated by Irish agencies - this places Ireland at the eye of yet another coming transatlantic storm. Huge pressures building up on 🇮🇪. Major challenges ahead. Also major job for Commissioner McGrath.

Something I should have added is that WW1/WW2 naval warfare is often HMS Fluffy Kitten vs the Ripper Von Mürderboat. With the Von Mürderboat either losing or coming away needing serious emotional and physical support. Never judge a Royal Navy vessel by her name. (Unless it's a Tribal Class)

Decided this was the season for the 3-day foccacia from Nicola Lamb's "Sift" book. Thanks to my nephew, over its three days, the foccacia has acquired a name ("Bob") and rich inner life, including last night's attempted escape from confinement (gas bubbles blowing lid off). Anyway, it's bake time!
