  1. Tha an talamh a' cunntadh cuideachd — the earth is counting too.

    She has never once needed our permission, or a federal form, to know exactly how many of us there are.

    Chan urrainn dhaibh am freagairt a dhubhadh às — they cannot erase the answer.

  2. The dog-day cicadas have gone ragged and uneven. The muscadines are coming ripe along the fencerows. Out in the dry ditches the rabbit tobacco is finally putting up its little everlasting flowers, the ones that hold their shape all winter after everything green has surrendered.

  3. The land doesn't hold its shape that way. Two breaths, then: in through the nose, a second short sip stacked on top, out long and ragged. Three times.
    That second sip is the part that actually reaches the nerve.

    Cùm do chasan air an talamh — keep your feet on the ground.

    What am I still asking permission to call mine? Ask me...

  4. Your body has been braced since somebody said the small mean word at a fairground. Bracing isn't weakness — it's a nervous system doing the job it evolved for. The trouble is nobody ever tells the body when the thing is over, so it holds that shape into September, into a jaw that clicks and a shoulder that will not come down.

  5. An Lanntair: Johnny Knoxville and the gang return for one final fling at the big screen. Featuring all-new stunts and stupidity along with the greatest hits and biggest laughs from the past, jackass: best and last is a joyously raucous celebration of all the mischievous camaraderie that you’ve come to love and expect from these idiots over the past 25 years. So, grab your dumb little buddies, raise your glasses, and come experience the cinematic event that promises to be the last time you’ll ever laugh this hard in a theatre.

  6. Ever heard traditional Gaelic Irish music sung by an a cappella group like this?

    This is Ceann Dubh Dilis (My Sweet, Dark-Haired Love), arranged by Michael McGlynn and performed by the Russian group Spokanki.

  7. CW: CW: Trans Issues, Trans Rights, Trans & Gay Hatred

    Lilly Wachowski. She helped make one of the most profitable film properties of the last 30 years. She cannot get her next one funded, because the cast is heavily trans and the anti-trans fucklords decided that's a risk. She said so publicly instead of letting the industry file it as a scheduling problem. #TransRights #LGBTQ #QueerNews #Heroes #Solidarity #MutualAid #Community #Film #PublicHealth #Gaelic #ScottishGaelic #Pride

  8. Chan urrainn dhut mo thionndadh gu fuath.
    Faodaidh tu fearg a dhùsgadh nam chrìdhe,
    faodaidh tu mo chur air bhoile —
    ach bidh gaol agam ort gu bràth,
    ge b’ e dè cho cruaidh ‘s a dh’fheuchas tu.

  10. Read this part: skip it if pregnant or nursing, and talk to a doctor first if you take thyroid medication or sedatives, have an autoimmune condition, or any liver trouble. It's a nightshade. Short courses.

    What do you reach for when the jaw won't unclench?

  11. Half a teaspoon of ashwagandha root, cold into whole-milk yogurt, cinnamon, a thread of honey. Evening. No heat — everything else this month has already been simmered. It tastes like a barn in the rain and the yogurt carries it

    There's no Gaelic name for this plant. It never grew anywhere near that coast, and I like saying so — the pharmacopoeia belongs to everybody or it belongs to none #Herbalism #Ashwagandha #FoodAsMedicine #Gaelic #Druid #Pagan #Witch #Plants #Apothecary

  12. The heel of the loaf and the two hard slices nobody wanted. Tear them with your hands — never a knife, the ragged edges are the entire point. Dry skillet, medium, a glug of oil, a smashed clove, salt. Six minutes, shaking.

    They go the color of a paper bag and the kitchen smells like a bakery.

  13. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: ✍️🏛️ At Cicero’s request, his freed slave and secretary Marcus Tullius Tiro devised Tironian notes, a #shorthand system of roughly 4,000 symbols for #Latin.

    Used to transcribe the orator’s speeches, it expanded to 14,000 signs before emperors suppressed it as diabolical. The symbol ⁊ survives today as the Tironian et in #Unicode, preserved by #Irish and #Gaelic #typography.

  14. We’re enjoying this BBC Alba Gaelic programme about the history of marmalade. Is on the iPlayer. And thank goodness it gets to Dundee! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002p38k #Food #Scotland #Gaelic

  15. Is treasa tuath na tighearna — the people are mightier than a lord. An old sentence from a wet country full of people who lost, and lost, and are somehow still speaking the language the losing was supposed to end.
