christian missionaries really will just show up at your door full of bad and stupid opinions you absolutely did not ask for then act hurt when you get short with them because they don’t know when to fuck off
like sirs and ma’ams i hate to break it you but y’all are not martyrs suffering for the greater good. you’re pushy strangers who show up at people’s houses uninvited to tell them about a religion they’re most likely not interested in and you get bonus asshole points for thinking it’s acceptable to preach for homophobic/transphobic organizations on the doorsteps of random lgbt ppl. ppl not being happy to see you isn’t an attack against you it’s you experiencing normal consequences for being rude.
Gaelic hasnt been lost. It’s never died or been brought back. There’s an unbroken line of native speakers going back to the beginning of the language. That doesn’t seem like a ‘lost’ language to me. Furthermore I’m not sure what ‘artificial life-support’ means in this context. Gaelic is given funding for schools because there’s still native speakers of the language. It’s no more artificial than money being given to schools for English language lessons.
If anything is ‘artificial’ its the imposition of a foreign language
(English) into a Gaelic majority zone and native speakers having to
fight for decades to be able to be taught in their own language. Native speakers being forced to learn English to exist within their own regions because a central government would not allow services to be given in a people’s own language.
But then the clock only goes back so far with people who wish that minority languages would just die. There’s nothing artificial about shooting someone but suddenly it becomes an ‘artificial’ act to maybe phone an ambulance?
i really do think the excess of memes about tops and bottoms that accidentally turned them into gendered categories is mostly the result of the fact that no one making those memes has ever had sex and they think top/bottom are innate identities
