I HAVE TOO MANY INTERESTS, and the memory of a pinecone (he/ảnh/ta), theoretical maker of specific apps just for myself
highlights: Saol Ella and Li Ban have dual language subtitles!

haven't found a single show using Ulster/Donegal irish that have irish subtitles yet tho! (and Crá is too heavy 4me anyways)

Which means that any English spoken in the show isn't accessible to HoH or deaf folk, or any other hearing problem.

Obvious examples are Aerfort Dhún na nGall and Hector OZ/NZ, both lack Irish language subtitles (which are useful for monolingual hard of hearing people AND learners) but also, the english subtitles that are available, don't subtitle when English is spoken (which is quite frequent)
December 22, 2025 at 3:57 PM
If it's an irish language show, the english subtitles will only be for any Irish that's spoken, any English sentences will have no subtitles, which is simply not the purpose of the subtitles, ay?

They should have subtitles for both English and Irish, that represent all language spoken in the shows.

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

add in the hundreds of paranoid parents who can’t trust their kids on buses and so completely double park every street around the school every day, blocking buses!!!

that whole area is a car loving nightmare

lisburn road with cars permanently parked in the bus lane

all the side streets with cars parked blocking any visibility around turns (dangerous for pedestrians and drivers!)

inconveniencing hundreds of pedestrians a day so like 30? extra cars can park

i think it’s somehow technically a private road as well? even though it clearly functions as a public thoroughfare

If these people ever engaged with the Autistic (& wider disability community) they could learn about how these concepts have come up before. But most of these people have only been (self-)diagnosed in the last few years and their identity is wholly singular and not based in community/solidarity.

infantilising the self while assuming all others are the enemy, where have i heard this before???

(hint: its fascists)

NO IM NOT SAYIJG THEYRE FASCIST it’s just obvious they have that supremacist sense taught to them and they bring it to their autism content and opinions

“we hate being stereotyped”

**four thousand stereotypes about neurotypical people**
**autistic people can’t lie**
**autistic people just have an inherent strong sense of justice**

the last one is the most insidious because it rebrands something that could easily be horrible as good
