to add to this, saying “paypal me the money” is NOT a linguist’s nightmare. maybe it’s the nightmare of copyrighters. but not linguists, we love this shit
anti-religious left-leaning people having a stroke when they hear that i, a queer nonbinary woman, who wasn’t raised religious, became a christian and loves being a christian and also lgbtq
trans christians exist. queer christians exist. you can do all sorts of mental gymnastics and try to deny our existence but the simple fact is some christians are LGBTQ. and God loves them, God loves us
I am Russian, a Russian citizen, and I am completely AGAINST this war with Ukraine.
Putin doesn’t care about human lives, about all the innocent people who will die in this war, on both sides.

Russian government forbade calling war with Ukraine a “war” or an “attack” or an “invasion”.
The kremlin gremlin is scrambling to retain his power by banning media from using words now.

очень хочу пошутить «а еще российские врачеи запретили гей отношения вообще. даже один раз вредно. нам очень нужно слушать российских врачей»
i get the sentiment, yet it still really hurts to see people say they hate all russians, they wish all russians would die, they want to deport all russians from their country, and stuff like that.
they're simply NOT that. it's confusing to learners. use IPA or a different transcription method. I hate distinguishing English vowels by length when length isn't even such an important feature in English
hey guys, a (non-urgent-ish) prayer request:
my stepbrother Dima apparently dropped out of college, and now they can draft him to fight in this horrible war. pray that he’s not conscripted, as he is 18. he wouldn’t survive it
i literally am THE most religious person in my family. I’m not even kidding. what fucking trauma response are y’all talking about. i’m just autistic about god
dear Ukrainians: if any of you are looking for asylum in the US, you can DM me and I can help you with translating and filling documents!
шановні українці: якщо хтось із вас шукає притулку в США, ви можете написати мені, і я допоможу вам з перекладом та заповненням документів!
not to be absolutely dramatic but i am literally holding on by a single thread and life is really difficult right now and every day is absolutely overwhelming and i am coping horribly so i would love prayers or just thoughts
this is not about me but i feel like i am forced to defend myself every time. i never supported Putin, i never voted for him, I have protested his regime before and i have never been more against it as now.
me, a christian, flirting with a nonbinary person: hey… have you heard… there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female…. cool, right?..
hate me but those tall “ugly” “Soviet block” “brutalist” apartment buildings ? yeah, those are good actually. those are actually better than not having any apartment buildings
@etheralfem
Actually dogs and animals don’t have a concept of gender really. So any pronouns would work. Lmao. But you aren’t posting this in good faith, are you?;P
prohibiting bi people from reclaiming d-slur or f-slur does actually nothing to the fact that bi people get those slurs thrown at them regardless. homophobes don’t care kinda, you know
@KevinAbroad1
I think it's an example of using sight words in teaching reading. a child memorized the words in print and doesn't need to decode them to reproduce them vocally.
laypeople: wow you’re a linguist? you must care a lot about grammar and know so much about languages!
meanwhile actual linguists: what is a word?……. what is language??….
i have been walking home past 8 the last two days, and the weather in anchorage is so cold and biting. my heart goes out to all who do not have a shelter right now in alaska. and i am so angry the authorities seem to not care at all about all the people who’ve died and will die.
let’s not quote tweet the thread of a white supremacist who 1) isn’t a linguist 2) doesn’t make adequate claims that are based in reality and 3) oh right, a white supremacist :////
