I never did video theirishfor content because I didn't want to be one of those wankers who pretends to be suddenly amazed at the beauty of a word they discovered hours/days earlier.

One of the reasons I never did video content for theirishfor was I couldn't bring myself to do that fake amazed facial expression and voice when saying what a groovy word meant. That whispered "wow" and serene slight shaking of the head.

Each to their own, but that's an inch past my gagging point.

Yet another reason to love Ireland: the sharks!

No lol we need the Irish for shameless grifter 😅

I think this was more seamless when your handle was just "theirishfor" back in the dark place.

I was actually wondering will there be "theirishfor" over here?

I'm going to keep theirishfor alive, but I want to do it in a way that's true to its ambitious, disruptive and delightful spirit. 💚

I'm getting lots of followers over at theirishfor dot bsky, which is great. But I haven't decided how I'm going to use that account on bluesky yet. The social media scene and the Gaeilge scene are utterly different now, the old shtick won't do.

No polls, no gifs, no DMs, crappy thread functionality, hard to dig up old skeets... I don't think I'll be able to recreate what people liked about theirishfor here.

I got a chance to express my secret personal theory on the birth of Irish Twitter in this piece by @theirishfor

Farewell, Irish Twitter and its #vinb, #hometovote, coddle and Uncle Joey
‘Irish Twitter’ happened in spite of, not because of, any deliberate strategy on the part of the social media giant and Darach Ó Séaghdha is in mourning at its imminent demise

I'm reluctant to abandon completely because I put so much work into theirishfor, it's heartbreaking to do that from scratch again.

But that site is such dogshit now.

My sister's a GP who's looking to see if she can get a nice Irish name for her practice - something meaning along the lines of inclusive or nurture. Can't think of one - anyone connected with @theirishfor help out? She's in Louth if that helps!

@theirishfor So perhaps one can fooster, potter around in ones workshop? Or actually get something done?

Enjoying Motherfoclóir at mo, @theirishfor. Noted mention of fustar/fooster. In Catalan, fuster =carpenter, fusteria is woodworkshop.

Clannad's 'Uirchill An Chreagain' is like a lullaby for babies. What does the title mean please, @theirishfor?
