Blue art. Digital illustration of the devil in a suit, who towers above a seaside town, puppeting its houses. An AirBnB sign says "Helluva bargain". The background is a blue sea with text "I met the devil, he's so thrifty, he put this whole town on AirBnB".

Blue art. Traditional illustration of a blue whale in front of a circle showing the waves, night sky and moon. Text reads "Morvil: mor (sea) + mil (animal)".

Realistically I cannot, and do not want to, beat The Mummy, but I would like to honourably mention Tilda Swinton as Gabriel in Constantine, a similarly bisexual film.

If polyamory is so radical and new then what tf was this?

Only one solution.

Art by Simkaye. A pink skeleton unicorn with a sword through its skull for a horn. Text says "unkillable".

@sophiasgaler.bsky.social I loved loved loved How to Kill a Language, Sophia, fantastic book. But Cornish was not felled. We are here. Omma yth eson ni. Bew on ni hwath, we live still. And we are growing. It hurts to see our name listed among the dead.

"Welsh is the oldest living language of Britain, a Celtic survivor of the Anglo-Saxon onslaught that felled its neighbours, Cornish and Cumbric."

Without downloading any new pics, what's it like dating you?

My neighbour told me Larry the cat keeps eating his Prime Ministers so I asked how many PMs he has and he said he just goes to the MPs and gets a new PM afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding Prime Ministers to the cat and then his daughter started crying.

Simpsons meme. Bart says "The worst Labour PM has resigned". Homer says "The worst Labour PM *so far*."

Niwlen Ster@niwlenster· Jun 12

This joke only really works in Cornish (but the alt text explains it).

Meme about Pokemon. A happy English speaking Mr Incredible who only sees the name of the Galar region. A sad Cornish speaking Mr Incredible who sees the Cornish word for "grief".

Shitpost sloppy edit of The Princess Bride. Inigo says "Offer me every animal on the shortlist." Rugen replies "Any you want". Inigo says "I want a badger, you son of a bitch."

Two months to go from "20mph very good" to "20mph obviously bad". @jostevenslabour.bsky.social just says whatever.

Hey artists, if you see this, post a dog.

Sweep the dog is holding a lit Molotov and a lighter. He is in front of the ancom flag. Text says "Beep the rich".

I love doing a bigotry because you believe the people you're bigoting are all bigoted. 🙄

Niwlen Ster@niwlenster· Apr 3

1) Kernow. You didn't do shit. 2) Oh, OK, so when 'Britain' tracks an American spaceship using our tech, that is something we are doing, but when Britain allows American planes to fly from our bases to bomb Iran, that is nothing to do with us. Gotcha.

Tweet by Starmer saying he's proud of Britain because Goonhilly is tracking Artemis II.

Speaking a language at its very least political implies, above a certain age, the political belief that that language should be spoken by you. This was nowhere near what I was saying about the FACT that speaking a minority language is a political act, and it's still wrong.

Wouter Steenbeek writes "A healthy language is spoken by EVERYONE in the community, regardless of political leanings. As soon as speaking a language becomes a sign of belonging to a certain political current, it is doomed."

Niwlen Ster@niwlenster· Mar 29

Language is political, minority languages especially so. Learning Cornish is an explicitly political, explicitly radical act, whether or not you acknowledge it as such.

Onnen Jolly writes "You remind me of why I quit Twitter. I'm not here for politics, and certainly not for abuse; I'm here for Cornish, which I'd rather not see reduced to a political tool."

Brilliant Maps, published in 2019! Let's see if there's anything interesting... Oh. Oh, it says Cornish is extinct. The language that was officially reclassified as critically endangered in 2010. The language that I speak. That is officially recognised in Europe. Fuck you @brilliantmaps.bsky.social
