[celticstudies]

careful with that amended welsh list, it seems to have a number of grammatical mistakes and coinings for terms that we already have. the wikipedia page trawsrywedd (transgender) is probably a better place to start for terminology (and it has an entire terminology section) although of course you will have to already have some knowledge of welsh to read it

Thank you for your input! I know the list is still ongoing based on what usage the researcher could find and that he wasn’t happy with some of what he did find therefore all mistakes may not be down to him. I am always open to new suggestions especially for languages I don’t speak.

I checked some of the links before reblogging again but not all so have now crossed out any broken links.

"Don't eat all of that sugary food..."

"...You'll gain weight" 🚫

Wrong

Body negative

You need way more calories than a slice of cake to gain even one pound

"...You'll get sick" ✔

Correct

Sugar is good but if you eat too much you get stummy ache :(

Better when eaten in moderation anyway

Prioritizes listening to your body

"...Without me" 👀

Secret third option?

Encourages community

Get sick with someone you love

World's best bonding activity

‘It left me traumatised’: The barriers to accessing transgender healthcare in Ireland

The HSE has admitted that transgender healthcare is ‘limited’ and is ‘not meeting people’s full range of needs’.

This is a very sympathetic article for once. I was not expecting that from The Journal! It mentioned a lot about how invasive the questions were from the NGS, though I’ve also heard from other people (adults around 30 or older) that they were refused care if their parents didn’t attend the appointment with them. Nonbinary people as well as those with autism or ADHD are also frequently denied care. I would’ve liked if they spoke to any trans masc people in their investigation but for such a supportive article in these times I will take it.

Transgender people turning to DIY-healthcare due to lack of trust in National Gender Service

The Journal Investigates heard from transgender people pushed into accessing healthcare outside the official channels

Some great additions in this follow up piece!

[duine-aiteach]

Transgender people moving to Ireland put on long waitlist for vital healthcare until assessed

The Journal Investigates spoke to transgender people who moved to Ireland and couldn’t continue the care they received abroad

Another great piece from The Journal about trans healthcare in Ireland!

I’ve gotten to the point where I’m beginning to understand what certain Welsh words mean but I haven’t the faintest idea how to pronounce them without sounding like a fool, which is how I feel about many words in my native language of English because I’m from the American south.

[byjove]

It’s also quite difficult to do the whole ‘watch a show with subtitles to understand the cadence of the language’ thing that you could do with Spanish or French. Yet another reason we need a show about King Arthur entirely in Welsh. Until then, do any of you have any recommendations for Welsh language media or media where characters speak Welsh?

[byjove]

Also, fun fact for people on this post: Welsh is more similar to Cornish and Breton than it is to Gaeilge. They’re all Celtic languages but Welsh is a Brittonic language, descended from the language spoken by the Celtic Britons while Gaeilge, Scots Gaelic and Manx are Goidelic languages, descended from the language spoken by the inhabitants of Ireland. Two languages that branched off from each other at least 2,500 years ago and developed on two different landmasses. So, the Gaelic resources are really lovely and some of the root words and grammar are similar but they’re not exactly mutually intelligible.

Curious what is actually normal for bed time. Go for your normal/average time, not your most extreme or what you wish it was.

what time do you go to bed? (local time)

7pm or before

8pm

9pm

10pm

11pm

12am

1am

2am or after

it's never consistent

some other time entirely

Remaining time: 5 days 11 hours

I just don't know what grownups do for bedtime and I want to know!!!

feel like a lot of adults are unaware of how psychologically fucked children will be when they get older after obsessing over their 'beauty' at a younger age. nobody needs to peak at 5

[innerchildabortionclinic]

things forgotten:

• puberty

• child is not the same as adult

• child is an individual and not an extension of you

Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing — Colonies surged 15-fold

Scientists have developed a breakthrough “superfood” for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in

TLDR- Modern agriculture pollen is low in nutrients, and there aren’t enough wildflowers. Science has to develop vitamins to supplement the diets of agricultural bees. So plant some wildflowers for the wild bees near you.

you’ve heard of vitamin B, now get ready for bee vitamins
