This is just ridiculous and stupid. Now Mt. Everest is packed with "tourist" jams with hundreds of people having to wait in line trying to take a selfie at the top.
Wow. The #HighValyrian@duolingo now has 1 million active learners. Not ever: ACTIVE. That's wild. Kirimvose to all those dropping in and learning what a noun case is! If you haven't checked it out, it's here (and it's but one of MANY offerings!): https://t.co/ZDwUDjXfil
Tonight's the last episode of #GameOfThrones, and if you'll allow, I'd like to reflect. The whole things started for me ten years ago on September 9th—the first day of the Dothraki competition. But the real story starts before that. (Longish thread.) #conlang

"People have made me look white in so many of the magazines and campaigns I've shot for... it hurts my feelings."
Jameela Jamil says cultural pressures to look a certain way led to an eating disorder in her teens, in the latest Ways to Change the World podcast.
Kids should never start a school day around 6AM. That is utterly ridiculous, homework should only be a weekend requisite at most. The class structure and teacher vouch system needs serious reformation and the curriculum has to allow an ideological civil discourse.
This is interesting 👍 There’a an intentionally distorted headline, but this sounds like an interesting constructed language. #conlang#constructedlanguages#linguistics
