Listen... It's True Though

Not this post making me use my blog for the first time

"Dearest Listeners, Station management has informed me that I am on the ballot for the Tumblr Sexyrematch... remember, vote correctly."

I haven't posted on Tumblr in auctal years but I must do my patriotic duty and campaign for Cecil Palmer my beloved.

Just putting this out here in case it might be of some use to folks: Many folk under the alterhuman umbrella do not experience species dysphoria, supernumerary limbs, or exomemories. You don’t HAVE to have had experienced these things in order to be alterhuman, even if they are common alterhuman experiences.

Please don’t discredit or doubt yourself based purely on lacking these experiences.

theres always that moment during the course of enjoying a character where it switches from ”this is my favorite character” to ”i enjoy this character in a mentally ill way”

This looks amazing, saving for later reference

okayy maybe i'm exceptionally late to the party as usual but i just found this website called Glottolog

and what it is is basically a language catalogue. you can look up a specific language's family tree and this is useful etc etc but the real reason i'm showing you this is the following:

so i just looked up kazakh via the "languages tab". you can search languages by name, top-level family, macro area, number of child dialects, latitude, longitude, and, if you happen to know it, ISO-639-3 or glottocode (the website's own code).

I searched via language name, and when I clicked Kazakh, I got this:

a handy tree that shows me where exactly the language is located within its language family. if I scroll down it'll tell me whether or not that language is endangered, AND, IF I SCROLL FURTHER DOWN:

it gives an entire list of resources for that specific language!!! I cropped the screenshot for readability purposes but the columns in this table are name (as in author), title (of the resource), any field (idk what that's supposed to be sorry), year, pages (as in how many pages does the resource have), doctype (e.g. grammar, dictionary etc.), and provider. the latter refers to the source bibliography that the resource was taken from.

now, this list won't conveniently link you to free pdfs of these resources, but it does give you the exact citation of the work if you click on 'citation' right next to the resource:

so I think it's a great start for research, especially for languages that don't have many learners.

happy researching!!!

fugking love it here!!!!!!!!!

I work in retail and one day in the afternoon a customer said to me "Have a nice end of your shift!" while leaving. I said "You too!"

one of the most ship dynamics of all time

I have like no followers so nothing will be gained but I think this is rly cool so I'm reblogging it anyway

I just had a discussion with my friend about fanfiction and how we tend to assume that women are the writers without any actual proof. Then I said, hey, I know fanfiction written by gay and trans dudes. But then I remembered, wait, I think I know one writer who just must be cis het based on his work. Anyway, all writers, be honest, who are you?

Please reblog if you're interested in the results.
