Just discovered a Scottish-Romani man on Tiktok named Dean Rheams who is trying to make #GRTFuturism a thing. It started off with his story of a vardo spaceship, and now I have
SO.
MANY.
IDEAS.

Im in my sci-fi arc, folks. There's so much you can do with this.

'Mae’r delynores Cerys Hafana wedi bod yn siarad am y cyfnod pan wnaeth hi godi gwrychyn rhai o hoelion wyth byd y delyn deires Gymreig. [...] Mae’n disgrifio ei hun fel person cwiar sy’n achosi dryswch i lawer o bobl sydd ddim yn siŵr ai merch neu fachgen ydi hi.
[...]
“Mae’n eironig bod y bobl sy’n clodfori Nansi Richards gymaint yn ofni dylanwadau allanol rŵan. Achos yr unig reswm mae’r deires yn dal i gael ei chwarae ydi’r dylanwad allanol wnaeth wedyn droi mewn i ddylanwad mewnol wedyn, wrth gwrs, wrth i’r Romani ddod yn rhan hollbwysig o ddiwylliant Cymru.”'

I'm tired of #Christmas.
#Romanians like to think they are better than gypsies and mostly they are, because it is easy to compare yourself to that pathological environment full of violence, drugs and exploitation that is the #Romani community and think you are better. Underneath the pale skin, however, you can see the same shade of moral rot, just in a different packaging.
The #gypsies celebrate Christmas like this: a mother, about 20-25 years old, already 30+ in appearance, with a four-year-old girl dressed in a pretty dress walks through the underground metro cars with a loudspeaker in her backpack, singing Christmas carols and horribly faking it. The girl is intimidated, puzzled, and when she catches my disgusted gaze, she suddenly lowers her head in shame. I am disgusted. I am saddened that a parent is using their child in the role of such a clown and laughing stock to make a few pennies. The girl can be happy anyway, because now she's singing carols on the metro and bothering people, and in five or seven years they'll send her out on the street to prostitute herself.
Romanians celebrate Christmas like this: I walk in the night from a Christmas business party. I refused to take a taxi to calm down a bit. Three o'clock at night. I see two girls, about 12 years old, by the walkway. They come up to me, frightened, asking for money. Where are the #parents, I ask? Do they know that their children are walking this late in #Bucharest?
The parents know because they sent them there themselves - the girls had scrounged up too little that day, so the parents beat them up and threw them out on the street to raise a predetermined amount. Without it, they will not be allowed into the house. The girls ask not to call the police because their brother has stayed home, he is 3 years old and they are afraid for him.
And this is how we spend Christmas - knowing, seeing, and unable to do anything about it.

@nickembling Yes I recall that too. But that could be a #folk #etymology of people who didn't know the source language. Like “crayfish” (not a fish, but an Anglicization of French écrevisse). Hard to be sure tho. But quite a few #Romani words have found their way into English, unbeknown to most ppl

Why is a white horse called a “grey” (or “gray”)? Doesn't make much sense, right?

Except it does. Anglo- #romani “grey”, Euroromani “graj”, just means “horse”

#etymology

My #Hungarian grandfather told me when I was little that much of our ancestry were gypsies (his word). Is this likely to be #Romani people in Hungary, or a different group of people? What are the possible relationships here?

My grandma was #Polish (it's possible she was the one who told me this and I remembered incorrectly).

I also have #Tatar ancestry on the Hungarian side, if that is more applicable.

Eccone un altro. La scorsa legislatura spesa solo a spiegare che i grillini erano peggio dei fascisti. E ora? “I colleghi che hanno saputo cambiare”.
Guarda Andrea che Conte, leader dei colleghi che hanno saputo cambiare, ha la stessa posizione della Raggi. Identica.
