just deleted tiktok. the 2 weeks i spent on there was a very bad experience
tumblr should be next on my "to delete" list but i think i have some kind of unhealthy relationship with that website 😔 also got a few mutuals who i've had for like 5 years over there who haven't made account here so i don't want to let them go entirely, even if we don't talk very much/at all anymore

saying that there are only 6 celtic nations isn't "gatekeeping" or whatever. modern celtic identity is defined by the presence of a modern celtic language in the region. not "celtic culture"1 or the historical presence of a celtic language.2 we're not trying to "exclude" galicia or asturias (or england ??) or wherever else. there is definitely solidarity and similarities and joy to be found between marginalised language communities, but it doesn't make you a celtic nation unless your marginalised language is a celtic one.
not a particularly useful term imo since there is nothing unique that all the modern celtic nations share, that isn't also shared by other non-celtic nations, except for a celtic language.
a large area from ireland to parts of western asia have been celtic-speaking historically. it doesn't make any of those places celtic today, unless they have a modern descendant of proto-celtic there.
