Lois Duncan had a hold on me.
I also read a shit ton of fan fiction (unrelated to Lois Duncan).

When people pronounce dachshund as "dash hound."

I just want to be the trans chick the right hates because in won an Oscar for best original screenplay and I used my time to talk about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women

Is that so much to ask?

✊🏽 How can we manifest this!?

Saw two people talking about how "she ate" or "let him cook" would be translated into Tlingit, and I can't stop thinking about it lmaooo.

I love language so much.

A screen shot from the Skidegate Haida Immersion Glossary (SHIP) 2022 (created by the Elders of SHIP) sharing different names for 'fart' in the Haida language, Skidegate dialect. 'Kuusid' (koo-sit) is the most commonly used for everyday reference. The left column is Xaayda kil, the centre column references any recordings SHIP might have of the word. The right-hand column provides a definition in English, and sometimes an example.

Haawa thank you for sharing! Languages are so descriptive. Here are some Haida names for fart from the Skidegate Haida Immersion Program's 2022 Glossary (Xaayda kil - Skidegate dialect).

@azlekayn.bsky.social 😍🥰 Yessssss!

Language preservation is not just about words and rules; it's about embracing the full spectrum of human expression. A language truly lives when its speakers are unafraid to use it in all its richness, even for something as universal as the many names for a fart.

Gunalchéesh, X̱ʼunei!

Young people won't remember this, but there was a time when you could just play the Sims by clicking the icon with 'the Sims' on your desktop and it just booted up, without making you log in past three or four different EA players.

Tribal ID photo or model polaroid? Lmaoooo I joke.
