Scottish Greens lodge proposals for 'equal respect' for Scots and Gaelic

“Scots and Gaelic are Scotland’s languages, but centuries of deliberate attempts to destroy them both have pushed them to the very margins of modern life."

“Gaelic is on the verge of extinction, but it can recover and thrive with the right support."

A flood of brown & red trees flanking a weir along a riverside. A shiny new bridge traverses the banks. A splash of blue reflecting in the pool at the bottom of the weir. And you can see the sound the water piling over the weir, a constant white noise

#Scotstober word 31 baigie. I've an idea for using all three turnip Scots words regarding genocidal ethnic hatred but I'll do it in a weeks time. So here's one for baigie. Even a turnip contributing makes AI more intelligent than AI on its own. Plus we had a cosmic burst from the sun this week. But we survived.

Three giant robots with dead persons now skeletons with wires once upon a time attached to the, no longer there, skin of the skull in their transparent head caps are discussing one's upgrade.

In English: Remember, way back, how we came to feel dull, hollow, dispirited and without purpose after that cosmic radiation burst that killed all the organic animals hereabouts.
Well! I cleared out my head pan of those odd old dry sticks and installed a turnip.
And I am telling you, I feel like my old self again. Buzzing.
