@FedericoS15190 The Dilbert dolls are also sus

[Jeff Moore @JeffMoore]

@FedericoS15190 Yes, but also maybe don't put too much stock in what McKinsey says about working conditions

@FedericoS15190 The heroes of the comic are caught in a 'self-crit' field here. Most of the art is pretty standard 90s comics, but great in that way:

@writerofscratch I ask students which pronouns I should use to refer to them in a little questionnaire at the top of every semester. I've had at least two they/them students in every class for the last three years. JKR is an incurious goofus.

@FSohns I think @RaraSensei is pointing to a really important point about language, that words are tools for expressing ideas to specific listeners (or oneself). And one of the wonderful things about being multilingual is that you belong to several groups!

@Gaikokujira Blessed result

Internet Archive provides the only reliable backup of the internet. There is no documented history of this current age without them, and they are again under attack. If you can, please support the important work being done by Internet Archive. I just donated $50.

@FSohns "Whenever the white man treats the Indian as they treat each other, then we will have no more wars. We shall be all alike ― brothers of one father and one mother, with one sky above us and one country around us, and one government for all."

@FSohns I grew up a bit East of there. The Nimíipuu (who we settlers call the Nez Perce) had a chief named Hinmatóowyalahtq̓it (and we settlers call him Joseph). He gave an amazing speech in Washington DC in 1879. I think more people should remember this bit:

@HobbyDrifter Because it is made to prioritize engagement while making you feel like you are learning. Unfortunately, making the app cognitively challenging or useful for acquisition hurt their engagement numbers, so they do this shit.

日本語のラ行の音って、音声学的に細かくみると本当にたくさんの発音があります。私たちは知らず知らずに[l]の発音をしていることもあります。でも、そんな細かいことは日本語を話す上では無視しなくてはいけないんです。何を無視していいかを学ぶことも大事なことなんです。

渦中のジャニー喜多川についてのBBCドキュメンタリーを拝見しました。短期間だけしか滞在していないリポーターの、くどい欧米型の「正義感」や被害者主義と、実際の当事者らの温度差に驚く。観れば誰もが思うが、そんなにお怒りだったら、ジャニー氏が生きてるうちに、ユー、やれよ、と言いたくなる。

@HobbyDrifter It very much feels like rinsing your cans for recycling only to learn that they're all going into a landfill anyway.

I used to sing and dance for five year old Japanese kids, during the summer, in Kyushu, in a suit. Tropical wool is the reason I am alive today to tell the tale.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

whenever someone says tailoring is too hot i wonder if they know about tropical wool, a class of open-weave fabrics made with such a porous weave, they look like a mesh screen when held to the light

@MaureenKosse "I'm a human, and as a human I make mistakes. If you think I made a mistake on your grade, email me or join my Zoom office hours." (in Japanese)

So far the only times a student has contacted me was when I really did make a mistake, and I was grateful!

In the Zephyr RPG, character creation is largely focused around determining your character's interpretation of a variety of Origin Myths (presented in comic form), which shape their identity and outlook on the world, as well as their mechanics.
