Yay!

Here's a massive list of language endonyms you might enjoy. One of my favorites is the Danish term for sign language, Dansk tegne sprog, which is literally "Danish drawing language" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Beyond the betrayal: Decades after displacement, Seneca Nation seeks a voice in the future of the Kinzua Dam WARREN, Pa. Maurice “Moe” John made a promise to his father. Now a councillor in Seneca Nation, he was just 12 years old, sitting on a hillside...

Great article here. Much of my family was displaced by Kinzua Dam—graves included. It's good to see guys like Moe John and Bruce Abrams getting a voice here www.post-gazette.com/news/politic...

I don't know what the original word for the language was before the Persians came along. Persian is old, and Old Persian is really old.

Punjabi is a vernacular Sanskrit, though. Maybe Prakrit? You'd have to find a Prakrit dictionary and look up "Prakrit" to see what they called their own language.

Just found out Punjabi is not a Punjabi word. It's a Persian word.

Fucking languages lmao.

Evergreen for how I operate:

“Queer' not as being about who you're having sex with (that can be a dimension of it); but 'queer' as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.” 🔥🔥🔥

Is it colza? In English it's called rapeseed. Smelling when you sneeze is common—it's caused by beneficial bacteria already in your nose producing lactate, which you can smell. It's always there, but sneezing aerosolizes it a bit.

He's a rescue pigeon, and he was there as an art model, if that makes it better.

Please enjoy pics of my niece holding a pigeon named Homer.

Planetary astrophysicist by day, space artist by night. The year is 2022 & my PhD research inspires me to create a giant multi-spectral Jupiter painting. Oh shit, did I just invent my own style? I decide to leave academia & take a chance on my art.

Lol 💛 I think most people would find this a very annoying thing about me but thank you. It's always from a place of trying to help, at least.

Hey I know it's trendy right now to face your books out on the shelf to show off the covers, but books are not designed for this. Books are designed to be pressed against other books. If you set them face-out they'll warp, and you'll destroy the binding. Friendly tip to save your books.

My favorite part of Ramadan is the videos of cats at 3-4 am, flabbergasted that their humans are up and eating 😆

Yeah that was the greatest pun of my childhood.

Not sure I could trust people who didn't like Bunnicula.

a hazy, more direct view of the same bridge

I was watching a travel video, and for a quick second in the video, I spied a beautiful cable-stayed bridge, and I spent the next ten minutes identifying it. It's the SkyBridge, a cable-stayed railroad bridge in Vancouver. Look at this beautiful bridge:

A watercolor painting of a satyr embracing a young man from behind, gently peeling apart the man's flesh on his chest. Birds emerge from the opening in the man's chest. The man reaches one hand to back to caress the satyr's face, the other presses the satyr's hand to his chest. There's some circular celtic knotwork designs on the borders. The overall colors are warm golds and browns.

Finally finished this up! It's done in watercolor, gouache, and color pencils. I know I should try to render it in more detail but I'm not sure I want to. I like the texture being able to be textures. Maybe that will change in the future. For now, though, I like it 😅

"What if someone doesn't like what I made?"

Ok but what if someone likes it.
