@duolingo has 2 *fictional* conlangs and a dead language but not Quechua/ Urin qichwa, the mostly prolific indigenous language in the Americas, with over 7 million speakers worldwide. Gaelic, for example, has less than 100,000 speakers. Several other European languages have less speakers than qichwa but have widespread acknowledgement and acceptance around the planet. In fact the only 'American' indigenous languages @duolingo offers are Navajo (solo para Ingles) and Guarani (solo para espanol). This is because, unbeknowst to all of their staff or not, Duolingo and similar pay-for language learning media are fundamentally rooted in and molded by settler-colonial capitalism, and even when they offer indigenous language courses, its just for colonizers, at a price, usually not even to speak with indigenous people. The synthetic guise of multiculturalism (solely for Europeans and the arbitrary non-white cultures deemed palatable) that the neocolonial world presents is a means of placating the settler proletariat and an effective tool of genocide. We live under an oligarchy generally disinterested, even wholly ignorant, of our ability to deconstruct injustice and wholly repulsed at the suggestion that we oppose it, oriented in entirety to maintain it. Photo ID: Screenshot from Duolingo app showing several language courses and their relevant flags including from top to bottom: Klingon (a fictional language made by a white man) High Valyrian (an unrelated fictional language made by an unrelated white man), Latin (a dead language), Gaelic and Finnish (both European languages with less speakers than Urin qichwa), followed by American English, French, and German for Arabic speakers.)

Star Jasmine, Trachelospermum jasminoides, vines I trimmed today. This plant is unambiguously from East/Southeast Asia and not the US south. Will probably attempt ropemaking. Curious about this plant's name and why I/you should care? I made a 1:36 vid discussing. 🌱🐦 https://youtu.be/g51-BtBAjiQ Last pic is from wiki. . . #plant #plants #gardening #jasmine #starjasmine #trachelospermum #trachelospermumjasminoides #confederatejasmine #whitesupremacyisterrorism #imperialism #theft #erasure #vines #dankkush (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDz23aFlk5n/?igshid=151utn75kc8h8

Nymphicus hollandicus (yet another disgusting colonizer name) engaging in mirror narcissism to aid in my slacktivist contribution to basic human justice. @auroragov @govofco @repmikecoffman @coag_philweiser do your jobs or the people's patience for your societal models will contine to disintegrate. You cant even fire murderers, but you can send your goons to attack a candlelight vigil? If you're unconvinced of the extent of the brutality you uphold in this microcosm, look at any of my why i____ story highlights. Somethings gotta give. Tick tock. I'm in your area. To my followers: ya ok anyways i think asking people in establishment positions, especially over SM, for anything, is generally a waste of time, but id love to be proven wrong, and doing this is painless, for nothing else to prove, in spite of the flood of videos, the inertia, and the need for greater mobilization. Plz contribute to projects like this, especially community building ones, irl or not, if you have the privilege to do so. Many of us no longer can or never could.

Typical. Northern Alligator Lizards, Elgaria coerulea, have been biting me for 2 decades. This one is a younger adult, apparently already through its first tail loss, and caused no pain. Larger inds. can draw light blood. Generally lethargic. The blue fuzz on its mouth is from the old packing blanket it was disturbed from under. Eats arthropods, sometimes smaller lizards/verts like you'd expect. Alligator lizards are consistently outnumbered by the more active and agile fence lizards in my yard, but have maintained a consistent littoral presence of a least several inds. in the general area at a time for as long as I remember. I have however witnessed and photographed at least a couple of occasions of these #squamates climbing to the top of shrubbery to sun. #lizardsofinstagram #anguidae #anguimorpha #alligatorlizard #alligator #socal #bernie2020 #diapsid #eattherich (at Oceanside, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9aZhSMg-r1/?igshid=xqe4pj2j220h
