many people hate the term "british isles" for a variety of reasons. but what else to call it? as a celtic studies student i see "the atlantic archipelago" used in academia, but that feels a bit awkward to use in every day speech, to me at least. it does sound a bit formal and academic. "britain and ireland" is ok but i feel that excludes all the islands that aren't the big two. "britain and ireland and the surrounding islands" is something i've found myself saying a few times, but it's a bit long i feel. "the lands around the irish sea" is something my irish granny says. i'm not really sure what we should call this archipelago, but anything feels better than "the british isles".

anyway i have lego star wars: the complete saga on my ds and lego star wars: the skywalker saga on my switch so basically my life is perfect and i've never had any problems ever

my lord people like this drive me insane. whose fault's that that most cornish people can't speak cornish? which country and language has displaced and eradicated cornish?? you can't erase our languages and cultures and then turn around and tell us that our want for independence is invalid bc we don't have a distinct language or culture - we did, but you destroyed it, and now we have to rebuild it. and i suspect that if that person had commented in cornish, then there'd be people telling them to instead "speak the king's english" or whatever nonsense because the comment is on an english language post. and honestly it makes sense to reply in english considering the original post is in english. lots of us who can speak our celtic languages often don't use them on the internet bc a lot of the internet is in english, and if we want people to understand the corrections we make (like in the screenshot), then unfortunately we're only going to be understood and heard if we use english.

and the uk very much does not "function" if you actually open your eyes and pay attention to those of us outside of england. subjugating the non-english nations/peoples/languages does not make the uk "function". i hope the uk collapses within my lifetime, godbless. and i feel like the uk "punching above its weight on the global stage" is not great either and not something to be proud of or to want, when i feel like it "punching above its weight" definitely includes things like colonialism.
