We rewatched Arrival yesterday. I love the movie. It examines choice in the face of apparent determinism. It is also, likely, an entire narrative that sprung from someone’s fascination at the sapir-whorf hypothesis, which delights my anthropologist brain. Worf himself studied the Native American Hopi language, which has no way to quantify or subdivide time.

In your account's Preferences, then Other, there is a gorgeous list of languages from which to choose to apply filters, if you don't want to drown in the firehose of posts in languages you can't follow in real time. I picked a bunch to leave in addition to those I do understand well, for the pleasure of it.
Can someone explain the basis of divergences between Gaeilge, Gàidhlig & Scots to me?
What's checked after toki pona, which also looks interesting? tokipona.org/

A WWII pronunciation map of southern English towns for airmen, I believe. Some real crackers in here. "Tanbrydż-Łelz" is a personal favourite. As is "Dżylynem".

She shall, to me at least, be forever known as Gillian Fucking Keegan.

The photo accompanying this article suggests she has a fucking thick neck.
Whereas most of her Tory colleagues have a fucking brass neck, sitting on their arses, doing nothing all day…

ha ha

was listening to a podcast the other day about "inner speech" or "the voice inside your head" and it got me thinking about "inner sign" -- is there anything written about this? maybe by another name?

here's the episode if you're interested
