[determinate-negation]

any time diasporic jews protest i see a social media storm mocking both the presence *and* absence of religious items depending on what's convenient to say, joking about checking how many are brisim, and stating that no diaspora are halachically jewish — in fact they're probably all sexist crazy messianics 🫥 i'm tired

they will slander us no matter what lol. they hate jews who have a religious opposition to zionism and they hate jews who have a secular or moral opposition too. they call us self hating for not defining ourselves through ethnonationalism and fake jews for refusing to engage in psychotic anti arab racism. they love to speculate that jewish activists arent actually jews and claim that its fringe extremist groups. never mind that american jews are not united on israel, a majority of american jews support restricting us aid to israel, a growing number of (mostly younger) americans jews explicitly consider themselves anti zionist, and most secular or unaffiliated jews arent zionists. additional issues with the methodology of this study are that interfaith and secular jews are underrepresented in the data despite this being a pretty significant proportion of the american jewish population

despite the reality, this is what the people who speak on behalf of jewish institutions and jewish publications think of us lol. the disdain they have for diaspora culture and history is palpable

As you’re my favorite Irish-speaking blogger, I’d like to ask what you think of Kneecap? Both the group and the film (if you’ve seen it)

Ah go raibh maith agat! — déanaim mo dhícheall <3

I like Kneecap, I’ve been listening to them since CEARTA came out! Some parts of their aesthetic are not for me, but that’s fine, I like the music.

I don’t listen to much of that genre in English. There were a few rap artists around in Limerick when I was a teenager and used to listen to their stuff, particularly Rusangano Family, little of Denise Chaila, I listened to some London grime stuff when I was in the UK, for a sense of place, and recently I really loved the Stormzy + AP Dhillon collab, Punjabi sounds unreal in this style of delivery.

As far as Kneecap go, my friends and I are much more interested in their tracks totally in Irish, so there was a little disappointment at the amount of Béarla in the new album HOWEVER I think Fine Art is a much better album creatively and musically than anything they’ve done prior to this. They were always funny (‘brisim achan riail seachas fuckin caol le caol’ still makes me laugh), but their sense of humour came out more on the new stuff.

Favourite tracks are probably I bhFiacha Linne (“SLÁN!”), and above all Better Way to Live, not just because I adore Grian Chatten but because the whole thing is so Church of Oasis … listened to Drug Dealin’ Pagans yesterday and got a great kick out of it even though I am allergic to Manchán Magan lol

They’ve lovely Irish 7 I like the west Belfast accent very much. And they did teach me the Nordie Gaelic slang for MDMA so I’ll be eternally grateful srl. I assume and hope they’re not doing as much ketamine as they pretend to, or they’ll lose their touch on that wordplay that they’re so good at.

For the film, I haven’t seen it and I don’t know that there’ll be a screening where I’m based, ‘cause I’m not in Ireland. I’d say it’s probably good!

If you’re looking for more Irish-language rap, I recommend Súil Amháin :) he’s more from my side of the country, so maybe that’s part of his draw for me, but he really is class. Murda Meaisín’s my favourite track.

GRMA as an gceist :) tá súil agam go mbeidh tráthnóna deas agat! x

Do you listen to or like KNEECAP?

Or in other words an brisean tú achan riail, seachas focan caol le caol?

in other words, brisim achan riail, seachas focan caol le caol (i love c.e.a.r.t.a its acc so catchy and also helps me remember caol le caol leathan le leathan☠️)

Irish Notes (Duolingo) - #4

Reminder: This is in the Connacht dialect.

ALL ABOUT VERBS!

“Caol le caol agus leathan le leathan.” / “Slender with the slender and broad with the broad.”

This is a saying that’s meant to help group vowels. The slender (caol) vowels are: e, i; and the broad (leathan) vowels are: a, o, u. The rule is this: the vowels on either side of any consonant should match (both must be broad or both must be slender).

i.e., The last vowel in dún is broad, so you’d use broad endings to conjugate it. The last vowel in bris is slender, so you’d use slender endings to conjugate it.

I. The First Conjugation. In the present tense the ending is, generally, added directly onto the stem of the word.

i.e., practice verbs: dún - close, ól - drink, bris - break

dúnaim - I close

dúnann sé - he closes

brisim - I break

briseann sé - he breaks

ólaimid - we drink

In present tense verbs, mé and muid aren’t often used & can be incorporated into their verb to make the ‘synthetic form’.

II. The Second Conjugation. The words come with a root and a stem. To conjugate them, you remove the stem and replace it with an appropriate ending.

i.e., practice verbs: bailigh, ceannaigh, oacail, and inis

bailíonn tú - you collect

ceannaímid - we buy

insím - I tell

osclaíonn sibh - you open

III. Irregular Verbs. Only 11 of these babies! Some of them can appear regular, but they all have at least one tense where they don’t obey the standard rules.

abair - say

beir - bear/carry/bring

bí - be

clois - hear

déan - do/make

feic - see

faigh - get

ith - eat

tabhair - give

tar - come

teígh - go

Ruduo jau prasidėjo

Tuoj ryte, kai gersim kavą, bus šalta kojų pirštams. Tuoj tems dar greičiau ir greitai grįšim iš darbo degant gatvių šviesoms. Tuoj be perstojo lis, o vakarus leisim su arbata ir filmais, o ne mieste su vynu. Tuoj kris lapai, tuoj brisim per balas, tuoj nešiosim šiltus megztinius. Ruduo yra labai gražus metas, kupinas nostalgijos ir ramybės. Paskutines šiltas dienas išnaudojam atsiminti vasarai, o kai vėsu, mėgaujamės tuo, kad galima drybsoti lovoje. Nors pirmi rudens ženklai jau yra, niekas nenori pripažinti, jog vasara iš tiesų eina į pabaigą ir, regis, trumpai, trukusi, vėl negrįš iki kitų metų. Šiais metais taip ir nenuvažiavau prie jūros, nepavažinėjau dviračiu mišku, nepadariau daug dalykų. Vasara buvo sunki emociškai ir kasdien priversdavo susimąstyti, kiek aš visko praleidžiu. Vis dėlto, ji praėjo greičiau, nei tikėjausi. Noriu, kad tai tęstųsi, noriu, kad nedingtų tie šilti vakarai ir saulė, žali medžiai, šiltas vanduo. Noriu, kad dar pasiliktų, bent trumpam.
