Question about #OrishaLand. Can any of you find a single article about it that isn't written by a cop when you search online? Very concerned about this, given that it's gotten a lot more attention from fascists, including local police, in the last few days. Can someone who's not fascist write about it? Can people work on a wikipedia page or something?

In spring it's hard to miss Arcturus, third brightest star in the sky, not counting the sun. Like our sun, it is a member of a star cloud known as the Local Fluff, which is currently on the forward swell of a density wave known as the Orion Spur.

Lmao, no comment.

Re-#introductions, you say?

I'm doing social science research within an engineering school that's into new/clean energy tech - in my case, EVs and grid integration.

Less cars >> EVs > fossil cars

My PhD was in architectural science, about the experience of air conditioning, and my undergrad was in renewable energy engineering.

I've been doing all sorts of things related to energy for the last ~16 years including policy, consulting and building stuff.

"I’m sorry to be rude or flippant, but the next time someone tells me that my demonstrably different brain chemistry can be solved by a quick shift in socioeconomic policy, I’m going to unhinge my jaw like a fucking rancor and swallow them whole. There is no utopian vision of a communist society where developmental and learning disabilities cease to exist. Any suggestion that a post-capitalist revolution will eradicate the otherness is bordering on genocidal fan fiction"

It really bothers me that there's this popular view that languages with clicks are somehow weird or primitive. Clicks work just like any other consonant and they probably just arose from sound changes being applied to existing consonant clusters. There's really nothing special about them linguistically, and they're a sign of normal language development, not any kind of stagnation. Languages with clicks work just like any other language, they're not more complex or less developed just because they have a set of sounds your native language doesn't.
