During the #Welsh #covid briefings @Eluned_Morgan talked about #mentalhealth
I remember her saying to reach out to others if you were struggling
A few months later I emailed her, asking for help with #VaccineInjuries
She didn’t care

so #Welsh is now trending
Seem to be due to this disinformation from the Mail 1/2

This word, my friends, is so fascinating that one could write a whole PhD thesis about it (trust me, I know). The immediate reconstruction for all items in 1/ is a masculine n-stem with a nom. sg. *hₓuksō(n). For such a stem we would expect a nom. pl. *hₓuksō̆nes.

However, just as all languages point to or are consistent with an “amphikinetic” nom. sg. *hₓuksō(n), the evidence of three separate and independent branches unequivocally supports reconstructing a “hysterokinetic” nom. pl. *hₓuksénes.

We believe that infographics are a really innovate way to spread information. There's a gap between the independence movement and the communities that they serve: we want to help minimise that gap in distributing information on anti-racism specifically in in a #Welsh context 3/
1] Location of Welsh language schools in areas of Wales
2] Huge historic lack of Welsh language schools
3] Lack of other Welsh language schools in Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Areas: especially Tiger Bay [see point two] or areas where Black communities live

Wales🏴 has a future beyond an unequal relationship in the Union🇬🇧, one that is based on exploitation, poverty and a lack of a developed public political sphere in Wales. 2/
Equally, we acknowledge the monolithic discussions on #independence/#annibyniaeth🏴 that have, at nearly every turn, erased the voices+contributions of #PeopleofColour in #Wales and the lived realities of race, racism and the #HostileEnvironment.

2. When John was a boy he entered a strict Observant Franciscan friary at Greenwich.
When it was dissolved in 1559 [by the Protestant forces] he moved to Pontoise, where he professed his vows. He later travelled to Rome and stayed at the Aracoeli friary.

3. While in Rome John joined the Roman province of the Reformati, a yet stricter branch of the Friars Minor.
In 1591 he asked to join the English Mission. Despite the evident risk to his life, his superiors agreed. He received a blessing and commendation from Pope Clement VIII.
