Liam's Library

I can tell my grammar is probably all over the place, but I'm a little disturbed over some of the shit I saw, so I apologize for the especially broken nature of my posts at the moment.

D'fhiafraigh na hamadáin seo a comhthírigh iad féin a mharú i ngeall ar dhifríochtaí polaitíochta. Do chonaic mise an cac seo, le mo shúile féin. Is trua liom go lé mé é sin.

Táim ag dul trí liosta antoisceach agus táim tar éis bacadh iad. Tá na daoine seo go hiomlán craiceáilte.

people who use goodreads: jeff bezos owns goodreads and if you want a better alternative there is a black woman owned company called storygraph that you can use to replace it. you can transfer all of your data from goodreads to storygraph and have your mind be free of trumpie jeff bezos! win win. 💙

Plus she had a poem on mashed potatoes, which I enjoyed lol

Her writing is beautifully evocative in both languages and bridges the gap between brutal reality and the surreal

Unsure if she has a bluesky, but I picked up Lies by Doireann Ní Ghríofa, a book of Irish language poetry with English translations from the library on a whim. She's my new favorite poet.

Took my time to reorient myself and work on getting my health back in order. Will still probably use Irish to obfuscate certain opinions in case they get cracked down on and to avoid weirdoes.

Tá ar intinn agam sos a ghlacadh ón meáin shóisialta. Táim... an-an-traochta, ach feicfidh mé ar ball sibh.

The classic move from 20th century organizing (specifically Food not Bombs, but definitely not invented by them) once you've identified who the likely LEO is in your group:

Talk face-to-face without them, give them all the worst jobs to do, and make sure that they're the one paying for gas.

Because I deal with stress by crunching numbers: a list of safe states for trans Americans, ranked.

You. Yes you. Stop scrolling. Listen to me for a second.

You're going to be okay. Tomorrow's another day and no matter what happens, the best thing you can do is keep on going.

The world is better because you're in it and don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise.

I can't believe it's me of all people saying this but for God's sake don't kill yourself and don't detransition

Do sháraíomar an tromluí seo uair amháin, is féidir linn é a sárú arís. Ní dóchas a chailleadh riamh, mo chairde

Every trans author is a better writer than JK Rowling.

Autistic meltdowns are not choices or behavior, but the nervous system vomiting, an overload of sensory/emotional hell that has passed a point of regulation.

Care for someone after a meltdown like you would a seizure. Give time, space, and comfort.

Do NOT blame or guilt.
We already feel terrible.

While I love bluesky for most of its features, I wish they'd implement an edit function. I having to delete and repost

And while not an exact match:

Is féidir le m'athair a cócaráil - my father is able to cook
Is féidir le máthair a cócaráil - a mother is able to cook

Since I've been using family members in my examples, I figured I'd take a moment to show how important punctuation can be using athair

Is féidir lenár n-athair a cócaráil - our father is able to cook
Is féidir lenár nathair a cócaráil - our snake is able to cook
