Hey! So, I'm looking for someone I can talk to a little bit about demisexuality, especially within a religious culture. I'm not really comfortable going into detail here, but I'm trying to figure some stuff out and don't really know who I can talk to in my normal life. Can I just ask about...
I've been watching Call the Midwife on Netflix recently; I'm about halfway through it. It's probably not for everyone, but I've been enjoying it. Very interesting!
Good morning. I guess it's a little complicated, but I'm kinda tentatively moving in this direction, I think. I wouldn't mind being part of a Discord or something to discuss and such. If that's okay.
Yeah, I understand. These were actually written in a pretty conversational tone and were really easy to follow. The author used a pen-name, so I've no idea what sort of background he had, but even essays from someone I know was in politics wasn't terribly complicated.
Maybe not something bizarre, but something funny I read.
I've been doing a research project on the ideas of Irish nationalism in the late 19th-early 20th centuries, and some of the sources I've been reading are essays in The Irish Review in the 1910's. Well, one of these essays is discussing...
So, I've been talking to one of my professors about that study, and I'm trying to think of literature in these languages. I definitely would want to read more of Burns if we studied Scots, but I don't know much Gaelic literature. I think looking at mythology or folklore would be really neat in...
Well, maybe if I keep this up long enough, someone will see and come join me. Or just come chat about language or whatever, yeah?
I an going to be taking an Indpendent Study next semester and I'm considering looking into arranging a course to learn Scots or Gaelic, perhaps as a precursor to...
Well, I have a bit of good news and bad news regarding that last post.
The good news is that I found that radio station again and it's still on air (or, at least, maybe just plays reruns), so I have a place to listen to some speech and music from time to time.
The bad news is that the...
I used to listen to a radio station out of Barra that sometimes had Gaelic, which was pretty good except for this one woman with a CRAZY laugh (and apparently everything she heard or said was hilarious). I haven't heard from it in a long time, though, so I think it may be off the air.
Oh dear, that's unfortunate... But I'll definitely take a look at anything I can find. I'm fully expecting to not be able to learn much unless I'm able to actually go to the country for an extended bit of time, but I'd like to learn as much as possible beforehand. And I still want to learn...
Really? I was of the understanding that it wasn't much used in Northern Ireland, according to an exchange student at my school. Maybe they were from another part of the country? They seemed a bit offended when I asked them, so I didn't press further.
Do you maybe remember any of the materials...
If this is for the purpose of post count, I don't think it's going to work. I believe threads in this section don't count. Y'all could go to General Discussion if you wanted, but I think there has to be a set topic rather than just random chitchat. But you can discuss characters or shows or...
Yeah, I know this is a long shot, but I'm gonna try anyway.
I've been working on learning Scottish Gaelic for the past six years or so, but in the area where I live, I count myself lucky to find someone who even knows what it is, much less anyone that can help me. I've "trained" a few of my...
So I'm trying to write a historiography paper for my final, and I'm trying to find out more about the background of the authors of the works I'm looking out to assess their historical school, experience, potential biases, etc. I'm finding a bit of information about their other works and a couple...
Might be! I am... (x
Oh, something kinda along those lines. I'm finishing my second semester of Latin right now. Can't say I'm great at it, but I have some notes and charts that might could be of use to someone.
