1. Ever wondered what "Munster" really means?

And what about "Thomond" Park?

It holds a key to understanding ancient Ireland — as Gaeilge, in our language. Follow the story 🧵👇 2. You know Munster.
But have you ever looked at its crest? ⚜️
Three crowns. Three kingdoms. One ancient story. Each corner of Munster was ruled by a dynasty — and they named the land in Irish, with precision that Colonisation tried to wipe away.

Halloween — or Samhain (real name) — was never just about ghosts.

It’s about connection.

Because in Irish, loneliness isn’t "uaigneas".
And that difference changes everything.

A Thread 👇🧵 Uaigneas doesn’t simply mean loneliness.
It comes from uaig — the grave — and uaim — “from me.”

It’s not about being alone.

It’s about being away from someone you still feel close to.

A street name isn’t just an address.
Its a story — a marker of power, identity, + memory.
Who gets remembered on our street signs; who gets erased?
Let’s talk about Cathair Chorcaí/Cork, and how its streets became an anti colonial battleground, for independence + identity. 🇮🇪 2️⃣
In 1920, as a war of liberation raged, Cork's ÁrdMhéara/Lord Mayor, Tomás Mac Curtain, was murdered in his home by RIC officers — under British command — in front of his family.
It was state-sanctioned murder.

1/ Stoicism and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy centuries before they existed? In Gaeilge, the Irish language they’ve been built right into the language… 🧵👇 #Gaeilge #CBT #Stoicism 2/ In English we say “I am angry”
In Irish we say “Tá fearg orm” → literally “There is anger on me.” #MindsetShift

In Ireland, we used to see the land as a body.
A living, breathing form.
Every hill, every curve, every place—part of us.
But colonisation didn’t just take the land.
It took the meaning.
It took the names.
Let me show you what we’ve lost👇 2. In Ireland, the land is a body.
It always has been.
Mountains, valleys, rivers—every feature once named like limbs, faces, bones.

Take this: An Fear Marbh — “The Dead Man.”
A mountain range shaped like a giant corpse, lying in eternal rest.

The body is the landscape.

How does a British aristocrat the Earl of Shaftesbury end up owning the largest lake in Ireland?

The answer lies in colonialism, cultural erasure, and a global pattern of land theft disguised as empire. Let’s talk about Lough Neagh, myth, memory, and resistance. 🌊🇮🇪 2/
Long before deeds and titles, this lake was known as Loch nEachach—“the lake of Eachaidh”—a name tied to Irish myth, particularly the Dagda, a god of abundance and sovereignty.

This wasn’t just a lake. It was sacred land. Mythic land. Ancestral land.

Tomorrow, a Belfast / Béal Feiriste rapper stands before a London magistrates court.

But this isn’t just about one man.

It’s a story of language, empire, resistance—and rap. And most important of all it's about the Gaza genocide.👇 Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh / Mo Chara is one-third of Kneecap—the rap group that embodies what rebellion sounds like in 2025.
Liam grew up in West Belfast/ Iarthar Bhéal Feirste.
He was raised in a place where speaking Irish wasn’t just cultural—it was political.
