@SaulStaniforth @KNEECAPCEOL Just wait till they find out what Che Guevara thought of Black people….

"Why are you in Havana?"
@KNEECAPCEOL: ".. to raise awareness about the collective punishment that's being dealt to the Cuban people by the Trump administration.. Irish and Cuban solidarity is something that goes back along time.."

@MickOKeeffe Has anyone got a copy or link of her PhD. Would love to read it

@The_JBS Ireland is the Irish people and the Irish people are Ireland

Your regular reminder of what a thug and lowlife Henry the VIII was, and again yesterday in those of his ‘Lords Spiritual’ Bishops that didn’t show up in the House of Lords to vote against decriminalisation of abortion up to birth. Nothing worse or more fake than a bishop that enjoys the trappings and takes the money but runs away from their sacred duty. They should get out of their sees and get into the sea.

"in 1538, Lord Grey, Lord Deputy of Ireland, on the orders of Henry VIII, burned down Downpatrick cathedral, tore open the tomb of the three Saints & desecrated the bodies, scattering the bones in the cathedral".

@OldNormality They’re not embarrassed. They’re shameless. And they never suffer consequences either

@x4secular @sophiemeaden The guy who pointed a loaded weapon at his heart and pulled the trigger

@sullivan_mma I so tired of these people who turn their backs on the diaspora
English

Scott Sullivan:
-Traces ancestory back to a village in southern Limerick
-Speaks Irish (poorly but getting better)
-Explores the culture past/present & wants to preserve and strengthen it
-Born in America
NOT IRISH🚫👎😠
Mohammed al Mohammed:
-Hates everything Irish, especially the Irish people
-Born in Ireland to Somali parents who want to see it burn
IRISH☘️🇮🇪👨🦰
Scott Sullivan MMA@sullivan_mma
Most of the "Irish-Americans bad" talk is cosmopolitan Irish in NYC/LA equivalents like Dublin. Bunch of Stavros O'Halkias, who hate America & love their girlfriend's onlyfans. Never spoken to an Irishman from outside there who wasn't happy I take pride in my heritage

@IrishUnity Cool. You ask him about all the homeless people who froze to death because he stopped th cops taking them off the street?

@hegelpill @PresbyInn Reading Lewis’ tongue-in-cheek chauvinism about his irishness is makes for hilarious stuff
English

@PresbyInn maybe this is why he made a good Aslan—C.S. Lewis was also Irish

The goal is to recite poetry that matches your aura. Here's Liam Neeson reciting Yeats. Irishman reciting an Irishman. It's perfect.
Elizabethan love sonnets would sound out of place for him. If you're a Southerner, memorize Robert Penn Warren. New England man? Frost.
Roman Helmet Guy@romanhelmetguy
You have to memorize at least 3 of Shakespeare’s sonnets. It can be any 3, but you have to be able to whip them out at a moment’s notice. You need to be bardmaxxing.

@Sujatachaudhry_ @DrNimoYadav That is a place for somber reflection on the sacrifice of so many people. Not whatever the hell that is
English

@DrNimoYadav It's a beautiful reminder of how our diaspora carries joy and resilience, even in challenging times. Celebrating our culture abroad is a testament to our strength as a community.

@Rothmus Thy probably had English or Scottish roles pointed at their backs

Thank god she’s out. I remember she was running for TD in my neighborhood in the 90s, I actually think she lived nearby as she’d been a union shop steward in the airport back in the day. She canvassed my parents front door, and being a teenager I told her she was a traitorous commie and there were no votes for her in our house. Wish I known more so I could have said more

Here is a fact so perfectly constructed it seems like something a polemicist invented, except it is simply true and sitting in every etymology dictionary on the shelf.
The Anglo-Saxon peasant kept a cow. He raised it, fed it, moved it to pasture, treated its ailments, watched it give birth, and if things went badly in winter made the decision about whether the family could afford to keep it. He called it a cu. It was his animal, his responsibility, his labour.
He did not eat it.
The Norman lord ate it. And he called it beef. From the Old French boeuf.
The Anglo-Saxon kept a pig. He called it a picga. The Norman ate it and called it pork, from porc.
The Anglo-Saxon kept sheep, which he called scep. The Norman ate them and called the meat mutton, from mouton.
The Anglo-Saxon watched deer move through the forest that had just been legally declared the king's personal property under the Forest Laws. He called them deor. The Norman hunted them and called the meat venison, from venaison.
The animal in the field has an Anglo-Saxon name because an Anglo-Saxon was looking after it.
The meat on the table has a French name because a Norman was eating it.
This division is sitting in plain sight in the English language and has been sitting there for nine hundred and fifty years, which is roughly the amount of time it has taken for anyone to notice that it tells you something important.
Walter Scott noticed it in 1819. He put it in Ivanhoe. The swineherd Gurth says to the jester Wamba: the swine is Saxon when he is kept and Norman when he becomes pork. The observation got filed as a colourful literary detail rather than as the class analysis of the food system that it actually is.
The language is the record. The record has been in every dictionary the whole time.
The Anglo-Saxon raised the food.
The Norman ate the food.
The English language has been commemorating this arrangement ever since.
I genuinely cannot believe this isn't in the national curriculum.
