Artemis II: Nasa's mega Moon rocket arrives at launch pad Final preparations now get underway for the first crewed mission to the Moon in more than 50 years.

Tell me-

Peacefully, masses upon masses.

Bringing this government to a halt.

A full out global war.

Please- those who are capable of-

A GENERAL NATIONWIDE STRIKE-

PEOPLE POWER!

I cut, polished, and set this piece of chrysoprase. It’s set in sterling silver. Lapidary work was some of my favorite part of my jewelry work last year.

Yikes. This is so bad

I heard this was highest turnout since 1993. I can’t imagine *why* 👀👀👀

Headline from Houston Chronicle: "Book bans aren't stopping at libraries-now Texas is targeting bookstores" "A new bill introduced in the Texas Legislature is the latest in a crackdown on nudity or explicit content in books."

And the 2-yo child recently too… 😣

I have a couple students who are linguistics students in my French courses. I love them, but I’m also very, very biased.

Wow!

I think it is because /ʒ/ is coded as a “more foreign sound” due to its relatively recent entry into the language and its prevalence in French words that have been borrowed in.

speaking without an accent is as impossible as typing without a font

Been doing this for years and will not be stopping. Writing is a skill that’s good for cognition. Human cognition!

Digne, mystérieuse.

too real. 🥲

And the more different income streams I have and types of things I do, the worse it becomes. 🙃

My sympathy, Dillon.

I had a really interesting interview today during which I spoke about LCC 11 and specifically, the conlang relay. We have three rings this year: conscript, poetry, and prose. If you’re attending the LCC 11, be sure to check out the relay results! #conlang #lcc11

I found a few notebooks I thought I’d lost years ago! They have many conlang notes and such inside. A real treasure for me, who thought an entire syllabary was lost to time. I have it back now.

Today I presented at the Conlang Adventure online event, hosted by Will Morton. I lead a basics of conlanging workshop and crowdsourced some *very* unique phonemic inventories :D
