oh interesting, i thought that the scots "braw" must have been a loanword from gaelic and be cognate with the irish "breá" and welsh "braf", but "bra" is a word in swedish that means the same/similar so i guess it's not from gaelic/a celtic root?? i will have to investigate further.

i found this irish dictionary from the 50s/60s written in cló gaelach and i'm reslly happy ^_^ we should make cló gaelach more widely used again

every day i fall in love with my studies a little bit more and in new ways

does anyone else remember the weird discourse over whether fae/faer pronouns are "appropriating celtic culture" ?? that was strange.

genuinely at a loss as to what those people thought was being appropriated. the word "fae" does not come from a celtic language, and fae/fairies are not unique to celtic nations. so if neither the word or the concept come from the celtic nations, then what exactly is being appropriated here?? tumblr is so fascinating.

i vaguely remember someone did a survey on if it was appropriation or not, and posted the results which had things like "i know many celts who have told me it's appropriation". the use of the word "celt" here just feels so weird, it gives me such bad vibes when like modern people today describe themselves/others as celts.
