you would think that I, a guy who has imported eurodance cds that major us record labels don't carry, would reach for that as my example in the previous metaphor, but no. bossanova only final destination.

This for linguistics too, there are so many cooler things happening in modern linguistics than outdated stuff from the 1940s to build your scifi on!!

The other advantage for your scifi of being a scientist in your real life is that you have a picture of all the current research. Don't build stories on outdated science from the 20th century. I legit take notes on every seminar I can get to, even if it's unrelated to my thesis. Bc it's for scifi.

My advice to aspiring young hard SF authors who can go to college is literally to study science. You need to love it to the point of wanting to become it to write really good hard SF. If anything feels like a chore to study, it’ll read like a chore too. Don’t write it if you’re not in love with it.

this one’s load-bearing to me
Tumblr user tobyfoxmademeascaly says: I adore Alphinaud. He's a child prodigy. He's a fucking dunce. He makes spur of the moment plans that work. His actual plans often don't. He can't swim. He grew up on an island. He had a Gifted Kid Crash And Burn that caused one of the biggest political incidents in living memory. He sat in a chair like Shinji. He's the world's #1 infodumper. He once insulted a man so hard that he became an enemy of the state. He didn't recognize Urianger when he put on a different outfit. He can draw people perfectly after not seeing them for days. He's still the size of a middle schooler. He threw a carbuncle at Titan's face. He fucking stinks. He's scared of ghosts. He's experienced The Horrors Of War. He forces every player of The Critically Acclaimed MMO Final Fantasy XIV that l've met through a character arc where they go from hating him to adoring him. He's even transgender.

#quiltprog back to it featuring my tie dye drying rack holding a bunch of post-ironing strips. this may become my work-appropriate pride desk quilt since I think DO WHATEVER BE WHOEVER is a little much for the office

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

This is basic. Get you a group chat where "uncensored titty twister" and "omega-presenting nipples" are typing.

🐇🃏 Chasing Rabbits, an original piece ♣️♦️♥️♠️ #formline #indigenousart #telekitneticart

Made with thrifted wooden coasters and posca markers
A picture of a hanging wall ornament. It's comprised of four wooden discs with the four playing card shapes painted on them, attached to a black rope. Inside the shapes are various formline designs. On the spade is a large ovoid eye, on the heart is a rabbit caught between a predator's jaws, on the spades is the legs and body of a rabbit, and on the diamond is a coyote head looking downward. the discs are coloured red and black, and alternate between black or red being the dominant colour. A zoomed in picture of the club and diamond wood rounds from the first picture. A zoomed in picture of the spade and heart wood round from the first picture

I was listening to the podcast @lingthusiasm.com and was suddenly struck by inspiration that I HAD to get out IMMEDIATELY. So without further ado, may I present.......

Cardinal Vowels
Cartoonish drawings of silly cardinals sitting on the vowels a, e, i, o, and u. Their shapes mimic diagrams of vowel tongue positions. The referenced diagram can be found on Wikipedia- source: Jones, Daniel. (1972) An outline of English phonetics (9th ed.).

Thinking about how bsky has the most horrible setting turned on by default that says "i don't want to see any other languages except English" and if no one tells you to put it on "no selection" you straight up won't see posts from people set to different languages on your TL.

The more I study the languages of the world, the more mad I get that the only thing American schools teach you about the languages of Central and South America is "they all speak Spanish except Brazil, which speaks Portuguese" btw.
