Mhothaigh mé go mbíonn páistí & deacrachtaí acu ag léamh i mBearla. I ndiaidh dom fónaic/cód na Gaeilge a mhiniú is fusa dóibh Gaeilge a léamh mar tá leanúnas ann. Bhí taighde déanta Irish Psychologist thart fá 2002 fá seo á rá nach teanga díleicse í an Ghaeilge, bhfuil eolas ag éinne fá seo?

I hate to have to keep harping on this but put something in your bio& a couple posts so people don't think you're a bot or something else. I won't follow without something. Also to newer people, don't just lurk, ENGAGE with people. Likes are nice but they don't effect the algorithm here. Converse!

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

Rinne muid ceacht gramadaí sa rang inniu, conas a úsáidtear 'dá' agus 'má'. Achoimre: Má + séimhiú*+ AL (rud atá indéanta). *Seachas tá & deir M.sh. Má théim ann, beidh mé déanach. Dá + urú + MC (dodhéanta nó is beag seans) M.sh. Dá mbeadh airgead agam, bheinn saibhir. #100daysofGaeilge

The Irish/Gaeilge word for 'solstice' is 'grianstad' which can be translated literally as 'sun stop'. Which is very nice. Directly reflecting the Latin 'Solstitium' - 'sun stopped'. (17thC sun image - BM)

I find it incredibly weird how AI is being rammed into our civilisation, despite a general lack of public support, and without it already proving itself that it makes life better. Terrible environmental implications, too. But it's being facilitated no matter what.

My best friend. Called into primary school to be told his daughter is having suicidal thoughts. She's 12. They are both amazing parents, she has a phone but it's locked down to fuck. Talk to your kids. 😔
