Ní dóigh liom go mbíonn an tóir ar an nGaeilge na ndaoine aontheangacha sin, go díreach, seachas go raibh an lán-thumadh sin ar fáil dóibh fós gan é a bheith d’aon ghnó fiú. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann mar a deirtear!
Tá seanchainteoir aontheangach Gaeilge le fáil i nach mór gach teaghlach sa Cheathrú Rua, abair, sa daonáireamh 1926 nua-fhoilsithe. Má tá sochaí daonna fós ann in 3000 beimid in ann a fheiceáil arb é Seán Ó hEinirí i ndáiríre an duine deireanach
Fuel is going up as a direct result of US- and European-backed imperial aggression. See you at the next port blockade for Palestine comrades
I was wondering why the Telegraph was the only mainstream media outlet to state clearly in the headline just what is happening here, and then I realised it’s because their readers will approve
I wrote about why AI ‘authors’ are the natural extension of a culture that values being a writer above writing naoise.substack.com/p/ai-and-bei...
Agus gan a bheith anonn is anall leis, tá an-airgead sna tíortha sin. Thuilleadh an rialtas ar ais aon mhaoiniú tugtha don litríocht Ghaeilge, dhéanfadh siad brabús de fiú, díreach mar a tharlaíonn i gcás an Bhéarla. World-historical fumble ⁊ a FHIOS acu gurb é
Ní bhaineann aon chiall leis an argóint go dtugann sé cosaint do fhoilsitheoirí Gaeilge. An té atá léamh na Gaeilge aige, ceannaíonn sé an leagan Gaeilge. Agus tá neart foghlaimeoirí nach bhfuil sé sin ar chumas acu a cheannódh an Ghaeilge dá mbeadh siad in ann aistriúchán a léamh in aice leis
Táim tar éis bheith ar ócáidí liteartha sa tSualainn, i Meiriceá ⁊ san Eilvéis agus bhí iontas an domhain ag daoine nach dtugann rialtas na hÉireann maoiniú don aistriúchán Gaeilge go Béarla. Bheadh an-deis sna tíortha sin, tá suim ann go deimhin, dá mbeadh siad díreach in ann na leabhair a léamh
Bheinn soinciúil go leor faoin a deirtear go bhfuil ‘faisean’ ar an nGaeilge anois, ach is dócha go mbeadh neart daoine ón dtráth sin thar a bheith sásta dá gcloisidís go mbeadh an méid sin fiú bainte amach againn lá éigin
Native Irish speakers interviewed in the US in the early 90s expressing a hope that the language would one day be hip
"The abandoned native speakers of the Gaeltacht have not found reliable strategic allies among the [second-language educated] elites."

Israel’s well-established targeting of journalists is going to intensify across the region. If you are a journalist employed by mainstream media, you need to not only condemn this individually but challenge your actual organisation on how they manufacture consent for it
‘I did imagine an older Prince Charming coming into my life’: Gavin McCrea tells Naoise Dolan about walking in Paris with Rousseau. What began as an academic text on the philosopher morphed into an epistolary novel that playfully mirrors 21st-century communication

Huge day for anyone who doesn’t hate my voice: I’ve started doing paywalled voice notes for when I’m truly just thinking aloud and don’t want it to be seen as a publicly accessible quote-unquote contribution to discourse. Here’s one on writing as job vs hobby naoise.substack.com/p/voice-note...

Occam’s Razor, I know, but the impact of the BBC’s editorial choices has certainly been that the censorship of Free Palestine has gone relatively undiscussed. When an organisation’s blunders somehow miraculously only BENEFIT them, it starts to look like deliberate deflection
One funny thing learning Arabic has made me realise is that when Israeli pundits go out of their way to say KHAMASSSSS to up the threat level to the Western ear, it just sounds like they’re mixing it up with the word for ‘five’

There is still room for the UK government to win the appeal but the odds are against them now. Huge considering all the advantages they had going in
Ban on Palestine Action ruled unlawful. There are few clearer examples of how no one is free until Palestine is free: if unchallenged this ban would have destroyed civil liberties across the board. Solidarity with everyone who risked years of incarceration to fight it
