The Danish/Norwegian expression was originally about wolves (ulver) in the bog, but the pronunciation got twisted along the way. Owls are funnier anyway!

"Pride betyr bare at alle kan elske hvem man vil" er å se bort fra opprinnelsen og historien til Pride i et misforstått forsøk på å gjøre det stuerent nok for folk som helst ikke vil forholde seg til skeive. Ikke et kurant standpunkt i min bok, og farlig nær "one of the good ones"-argumentasjon.

Mener du at det finnes folk som ikke roper "ku!" eller "hest!" eller "sau!" når de kjører forbi et jorde med husdyr?!

Bi enby says yes.

Hm. Som god bergenser bruker jeg selvfølgelig "der" muntlig, men sjelden skriftlig. Det må jeg gjøre noe med.

In Norway we say "Den som vil være med på leken må tåle steken" - if you want to play the game you have to take the heat

Kushiel's Dart, og resten av serien. Mulig den er for horny til biltur?

Wishing everyone who celebrates joy on this day of transformation, rebirth, renewal, and hope for a brighter future 🦋🌸🐇🌸🦋

– Kommer Ruter til å rydde opp internt, og må noen rett og slett gå? – Det ligger en premiss i spørsmålet om at noen i Ruter har gjort noe feil eller galt. Det ser vi ikke som en aktuell problemstilling. Og vi ser det heller ikke som en aktuell problemstilling at noen må gå, sier direktør for kommunikasjon og samfunnskontakt i Ruter, Elisabeth Skarsbø Moen.

Det forklarer så mye at Ruter ikke ser det som en problemstilling at noen må gå🚶‍♀️

Very good (though a group of crows is actually only called a murder if there is probable caws)

Drukningsulykker forårsaket av å bade rett etter maten.

I'm doing like the yolk in the egg (Norwegian: Jeg har det som plommen i egget)

When you don't know anything about linguistics: The plural of "memorandum" is "memoranda", why can't people get it right When you know a little about linguistics: The plural of "memorandum" should just be "memorandums" because that's how people naturally say it, "memoranda" is just prescriptivism When you know a lot about linguistics: Oh my god? So certain English words borrowed from Latin and Greek have competing plural forms, with one form using the English plural -s and the other using a borrowed Latin or Greek form? Do you realize how crazy that is a language borrowing *inflectional morphology* from another language? And here the two competing plural forms have become markers of education, expertise, and social class, isn't that incredible? When you have a degree in linguistics and dgaf anymore: memorandibles

This is exactly what it’s like in my brain all the time, all four levels, simultaneously

Frankfurt er Europas LAX. Arkitektene må ha vært på syre eller i alle fall aldri sett en flyplass før.

Ungarsk museumsdirektør får sparken for manglende håndheving av anti-LHBT-lov Direktøren for Ungarns nasjonalmuseum mister jobben etter at han ikke håndhevet en lov mot visning av LHBT-innhold under World Press Photo-utstillingen. Den prestisjetunge utstillingen viser blant a...

Museumsdirektør får sparken for å stille ut noe makthaverne ikke liker.

Men jeg tror ikke norske antiwoke-aktivister kommer til å klage denne gangen heller.

Why are fewer women using AI than men? The use of artificial intelligence appears to have a significant gender imbalance.

Bit of an odd story this one - the main analysis says women don't use AI because they lack STEM skills, confidence and value in the workplace. Yet the anecdotes suggest that women excel at communication, whether writing or interpersonal, and can spot ChatGPT's flaws

Why invest in AI when it's so easy to find people who will be confidently wrong for free...

Jeg leser dette som at ikke-binære må holde varmen med ting som verken er kvinneklær eller herreklær. Dinosaurkostyme it is!

I dated a cricket umpire once, but she had real boundary issues.

Scholastic Under Fire for Allowing Schools to Opt Out of ‘Diverse Books’ for Book Fairs Scholastic has been accused of bending to right-wing pressure, making having diverse books optional for school book fairs.

Scholastic asks, "Do you want to opt out of 'diverse' books at your school's next book fair?" Your participation in white supremacy has never been easier, just uncheck the 'diverse' books box– poof, no problems. 🙄

Transphobes who get mad about pronouns are weak. I speak Vietnamese. The pronoun I use for myself and the person I’m talking to or about depends on how old I am, how old they are, whether they’re a relative, whether they’re related to my mom or my dad, gender, and more. There are over 20 of them.

Og jeg tjener over en mill, kan jeg få betale noen tusenlapper mer og spandere på samfunnet noen ekstra psykologer med offentlig avtale?

Florida school district orders librarians to purge all books with LGBTQ characters Librarians in public schools in Charlotte County, Florida, were instructed by the school district superintendent to remove all books with LGBTQ characters or themes from school and classroom libraries...

I’d say this banned-books story horrifies me because I’m queer, but honestly I don’t think I’d be less horrified if I were straight. It’s the kind of insanity that should worry anyone who cares about a) living in a free society or b) other people. popular.info/p/florida-sc...

See this is where the bi&enby combo comes in handy like a Swiss multitool

I fail to see the downside here
