Speakers of non-English languages of the UK and Ireland wanted!!
Since it’s World Mother Language Day today (February the 21st), I’m thinking of doing a series of posts on the native non-English languages of the United Kingdom and Ireland, with some information and short interviews.
For this, I am looking for both native speakers/signers and learners (with or without parentage/heritage of the language in question) of the following languages:
- Scottish Gaelic
- Irish
- Welsh
- Any sign language of the United Kingdom or Ireland (e.g. BSL)
- Any other minority language indigenous to the United Kingdom or Ireland. By this I mean primarily spoken only within the UK or Ireland as a minority, or spoken very little elsewhere. For example: Cornish, Manx, Shelta, or Anglo-Romani, not languages like Polish or Bengali that are minority within the UK but have a significant speaker base elsewhere. (I am aware that I am fishing for some of these *cough* Cornish *cough*...but you never know!)
- Any language or variety that you speak that you feel is linguistically / culturally distinct from Standard English that you would like to inform more people about. For example: Shetlandic, Scots, Ulster Scots.
I don’t have anything finalised yet, but if you would be wiling to speak to me about some text-based interviews for the sake of qualitative and informative tumblr posts, please send me a message!
(NB: if I have used any names of languages that are not preferred, tell me and I will change them. I don’t know a lot about the non-Celtic and non-Germanic languages here, which is part of my reason for wanting to make this series of posts in the first place.)
Please reblog so more people see this!

AP Lit / AP Lang FRQ graders when one of the responses is a detailed guide on the most effective way to commit arson on a house at a specified address to ensure no survivors (It's their address) (but The student didn't provide a reasonable answer to the prompt, so they fail anyway)

For further proof check the following scenes:
Koskela and Kariluoto almost kissing not once but twice for at least a minute of screen time, while Koskela is basically offering to sarcrifice himself instead of Kariluoto and then does so because he is angsty and depressed.
Koskela listening to Kariluoto's monologue and then them just laying by each other when there is plenty of spare room in the tent. Kariluoto also almost lays down to sleep on Koskela's chest.
Later on Lammio comes to get these two out of the tent. They come out looking very flustered and awkward, Lammio looks traumatized, and Koskela then adjusts his pants.
Drunk Koskela. Spends a whole minute or two almost kissing men. Then gets escorted by his husband (Kariluoto) back to his men.
There are probably more and I should write an essay about this, but. The point is, Risto Tuorila really said gay rights and brought us an amazing gay dad Koskela, Koskiluoto is an underrated ship, and I am very tired.
