I like learning #Cornish and other languages, making games, and fantasy fiction.
I live in Paignton, Devon.

Known as Ash, in English.

This kind of sums a language I've been constructing for a long time, for use in my fantasy fiction and games (as well as a personal code, of sorts).

Many thanks to all who emailed Penryn Town Council to register their opposition to glyphosate spraying on Penryn streets. Together we managed to win this vote and postpone the selection of contractors. Many thanks to Cllrs Hanks, Hart, Spry Leverton and Hepworth for speaking out.

Surely I am the *only* person who is blown away by this. But anyway...

KAGLA: this word means "to spatter with filth" in Cornish, but it's also the name of a central character in my fantasy setting. He's a legendary goblin chieftain...

I also use bad Cornish in this setting, so "spatter" is ideal!

When Kernow last enjoyed a level of autonomy (the Stannary Parliament - last convened in 1753) it was entirely because of our critical mineral industry (Stannary from stannum = tin)

If we are to truly benefit from a renewed mineral industry we MUST again have a level of devolved responsibility.

Since Russia’s invasion in 2022, thousands of Ukrainian children have been abducted. Yesterday, on World Children’s Day we remembered them and affirmed this truth: their safe return is non-negotiable. Peace is impossible until every child is reunited. I stand with Ukraine.

I see that YouTube is now fucked.
Nothing but AI slop, incel pigshit, cults and conspiracies.

Who asked for this? I'm seriously considering going more or less full analog. The internet now feels like a shitty nighclub where nobody talks to anyone.

Sorry for this bad picture (it's at 10x), but I love gibbons.

I don't know if "gybbonyow" is correct. I can't find it in the dictionaries.
