Joined Twitter to follow scientists, found a starter pack for linguistic anthropologists (my special interest) on bluesky and now I'm here. Interested in germanic and uralic languages, particularly Nordic and Sami.

It's very important we don't allow this kind of racist narrative to spread under cover of 'climate'. It can and will be used to justify inhumane policies, especially against Africans.
🚨I'm seeing some climate accounts posting overpopulation stuff, so I've removed the paywall from my article on the subject: Overpopulation Is A Racist Trope.
'Overpopulation' Is A Racist Trope. It's Time We Laid It To Rest
A new movie satirises the myth that climate change is a consequence of too many people. In the real world, our overpopulation obsession must be euthanised.

Actually “per my last email” was not unheard of in millennia-old cuneiform letters.
A woman named Datâ in the 8th century BCE wrote to her brother, “Why have I not seen your messenger until this very day? Now, if you are alive, let me forgive the shortcomings of your character…”

Did any of these ever start with “per my last tablet…”

Bc I've mentioned fundraising, I'm going to put this here. The goal for this Giving Tues. for us is going to be increasing monthly donors. Monthly support is so helpful for keeping us stable. $5/month spread over hundreds of people is how we've stayed afloat for 8 years.
