This is a blog for Cornwall and as such this blogs position that Cornwall never seceded land to the crown and therefore deserves a devolution to the Stannery at worst, and total autonomy at best.

It is also against exclusionary politics, gatekeeping of resources, right wing beliefs of nationalism and identity & supports the rights of BAME folks in the wider UK, transgender & nonbinary rights, queer liberation, workers rights & anarchy.

Join a union! Look after your fellow humans!

Pan-Celtic politics are important, worthy of discussion and worthy of serious consideration.

Cornish Culture is that of rebellion, folk heroes and mazed love and joy. This is a place to celebrate that, our gorgeous lands and the history of the region.

The Ragadaziow (forefathers) Guisers performing the trial of the Beast of Bodmin- a mock trial in the style of a mummers play dating back to 1549. The Bodmin Play (An Gwary Bosvenna) sees the beast captured and paraded in the streets- St Petroc’s Ossery Casket watching over the event.

Today is a very auspicious day for some of my research (that I'm keeping under wraps for now)- but I can tell you it relates to the term Cadi (analogous to Queer in Welsh- see screenshot below of GPC)

Cadi is a term that has existed in Welsh since the 1600s. Its usage is often vague but over time it has been used to describe effeminate boys, masculine girls and people who would be called Intersex today.

The term has been used as a catch-all for anything breaking gender norms.

Cadi derives from the girls name Catrin and was often used as a pejorative towards Queer people. A similar given name-based term in English is Nancy.
