Linguists start compiling the first ever complete dictionary of ancient Celtic.

More than 1 000 words used as far back as 325BCE will be collected for insight into a past linguistic landscape.

The vast majority of the material has been lost in the mists of time. But the remnants of a language spoken in parts of the UK and Ireland 2 000 years ago are being collected.

Book report: Genocide Bad. Notes on Palestine, Jewish History, and Collective Liberation by Sim Kern

Kern's writing is frank, genuine, and often humorous but always rooted in compassion.

Kern explores their own history countering anti-Jewish hate and explains arguments against Zionism in a clear and concise way.
