reminder that those who complain about people calling #Irish 'Gaelic', rarely do anything else for actual language rights (apart from bringing this up). it also shows their ignorance. they don't really care about the language... good in-depth piece: irishlanguage.ie/gaelic-gaeil... #gaeilge

Lovely to take part in this event at @lighthousebooks.bsky.social for the first time, and to meet Menna. Best of luck to Menna and publisher with the new collection.

Interesting for @theskinnymag.bsky.social to countenance, if not promote, even, a future for #ScottishLiterature that doesn't include a single #Gaelic writer of note. And only one with links to the #Highlands and #Islands. www.theskinny.co.uk/books/featur... A thread 🧵 👇🏻

Tonight, POETRY! Welsh, Gaelic, English for an Edinburgh launch of Parch! At the heart of Parch is the triumph of compassion over conflict, respect as refuge, and a deep love of the nuances in language. Readings & discussion ft Menna & Marcas Mac an Tuairneir! lighthousebookshop.com/events/poetr...

It's that time of the year again - time to nominate your favourite folky artists and facilitators. If you do remember a certain Gaelic columnist for The List in the media category, that would be much appreciated. projects.handsupfortrad.scot/scotstradmus... #Gaelic #Gàidhlig #NaTrads #TheTrads

Andrew Scott is a contemporary artist renowned for his bold "frame-breaking" creations, where characters in his paintings seem to penetrate through glass. Through this unique creative approach, Scott explores themes of freedom, solitude, and resilience. Artist: @andrewscott_art #art #visualart

A lovely thing that a panel of writers and critics found these new poems to have creative originality and literary merit, after all Mòran taing dhaibhsan www.instagram.com/p/DN0fCZL0Ac...

🧵 And yet, there remain parts of our 'country' (countries!) where #English is not the only native language. Is that language the only means to engage with communities? It's certainly one means of doing so... #Cymraeg #Gàidhlig #Gaeilge #Scots @reformukscotland.bsky.social @reformuk.bsky.social

Please Help Me On My Neurodiversity Journey It's humiliating having to do this, but with #NHSLothian's inability to let me see a #neurodiversity specialist timeously, or recognise my private #diagnosis and medicate, I feel I am left with no choice but to take this route. gofund.me/18d703ba

Poor neighbours. I've basically just sung the entire Sugababes singles catalogue tonight, including some that should have been from The Lost Tapes. Earplugs in of course, and not Overload cos - heretically - it ain't my favourite. Now it's 3am. Woops.

Me and Taylor Swift in the same article - quite the moment! 😜

So exciting! I got the Scots & Gaelic editions published by Tippermuir Books of my rainbow families books illustrated by Elīna Brasliņa! Translated into Gaelic by Marcas Mac an Tuairneir & into Scots by Mathew Mackie (who won the 2023 Scots Bairns Book o the Year Award for his translation !) 😍😍

The Scottish Languages Act 2025 has received Royal Assent and came into effect on August 1st. It's a complex, incrementalist measure whose significance will only become clear over time. My overview and analysis here bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/06/20/t...

I saw folk talking about this on TikTok today. Well, have no preference either way, but if they want to be their own Home Nation, then fire on and let them. petition.parliament.uk/signatures/1... #Cornwall #Kernow #Kernewek #Kernowek

It was communicated to me today that the Friday night of the Lúnasa festival, and with if my performance, has been cancelled. I'd like to issue an apology to anyone who bought tickets and planned to come and support me. This was very much appreciated - events.humanitix.com/lunasa-festi...

Thanks to Emma McAndrew of That's TV Lothian for taking the time to speak to me recently about the lack of care currently being provided to neurodivergent people by NHS Lothian. You can support my GoFundMe, here: gofund.me/7a0fc107 #ADHD #AuDHD #ASD #Austism #NHSLothian x.com/ThatsTVLothi...

This - and it is a Narrow Sheuch between #Scotland and Ireland, too. I was sent this by a good friend who is a #Scots #language #writer and #translator, and #arts facilitator - he gets it too, www.facebook.com/share/r/1Bdb...

CAN YOU HELP? Still going with the GoFundMe, but it has stalled a little over the last week. My update this week wasn't fun to write. It's about the experience of getting my prescription and facing homophobic abuse and threats of violence in the pharmacy. #ADHD #ASD #AuHD #GoFundMe #NHSLothian

A big day today as I went to pick up my first prescription for #Methylfenadate. I am being titrated on a lower dose which will increase twice over these three weeks, and then I'll hopefully be up to speed. Read my update below and please consider donating! gofund.me/93629bfe Mòran taing dhuibh!
