Free Palestine

If you think it's a coincidence that Irish MEPs have spoken up about the EU's decision to support and sympathise with Israel when Netanyahu has called Palestinians "human animals", it's not.

Colonisers out. Dehumanisers out.

Have you ever felt such a strong connection to a place even though you've never set foot there? As if belonging to that place was all you've ever known in life. The home of your heart.

I am sure that when I step foot in MOHER for the first time I will cry like a child… a child receiving a hug from her grandmother after not seeing her for a long time.

There are things in life we can’t explain, only feel…

Ireland just holds my whole damn heart.

YEAH!! you go girls! You did amazing, the true winners of the match!

it’s funny how nobody would’ve batted an eye to a peaceful protest like this if it were to say the Russian team last year.

Gotta start treating english like monolinguistic english speakers treat other languages

Did you know English doesn't have a word for the Irish word 'mar'? Instead they have to say 'is the cause' of or 'because' for short

Credit to Irish press for keeping it real, unlike everyone else.

The kitchen is decorated with nineteenth-century blue and white Dutch tiles and a set of copper pans. The ceramic cheese-making jug in the foreground was made by Stephen Pearce, a potter from County Cork.

Saying this as an Irish person since the new Hozier album just came out and there are lyrics in Irish; it’s Irish or Gaeilge (pronounced “gwhale-ga” or “gale-ga” depending on region), not Gaelic or Celtic or any other name people come up with.

It’s just a normal language that people speak in their everyday life. We learn it in school in the republic. People like myself are bilingual in Irish and English. It’s not a “fairy aesthetic cottage core leprechaun” language.

Please respect it. Our language is a touchy subject seen as how England tried to erase it by forcing English on us and severely punishing those who spoke Irish.

At the same time that does NOT mean it is a dead language. Our (in the republic) road and safety signs are in both Irish and English, same with legal documents. Our politicians speak it, and we are trying to preserve the language!

Anyways enjoy the album!

It is never too late to learn to speak Irish.

You do not have to be Irish to speak Irish.

Once you're out of school, there is no grammar police and most people are just excited to have someone to speak Irish with.

Incorporating Irish words into your day when you're not fluent (I have to go to the leithreas, throw it in the bruscar, that's a gorgeous gúna) is an act of decolonisation.

Helping people to understand the language is an act of love.

Gaeilge go deo ❤️
