Linguistic Relativity: Does Language Shape Our Reality?

The Hypothesis The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, also known as linguistic relativity, presents a captivating proposition: the structure and vocabulary of a language influence the way its speakers perceive and interact with the world. As we embark on an exploration of this intriguing concept, we delve into the depths of linguistic relativity, questioning the extent to which language serves as a…

Are there any cats with smoke/shaded fur (that is, fur thats only pigmented at the top and not the base) in bb? I always thought it was an interesting look and dont really see it used as often in designs

If I can draw it LMAO, it's surprisingly difficult to capture in a design when you're like, not a super fantastic coloring god like what others in the fandom can cook up. I'm better with blocky, almost toylike designs rather than cool shading tricks.

I will be making an effort when Echomist is relevant though, she's a character who canonically has whispy shaded fur. I think about her a lot more than such a small character really warrants, but that's the power of a cool design for you. She's a late Crusade/early-to-mid Campaign Era warrior, the mate of Hailstar.

EchoMIst (Emi) is a huge sweetie, I imagine she's considered absolutely gorgeous because of how striking her fur is. Her mateship with Hailstar is as strong and as unbreakable as the thick ice of deepest winter.

I imagine he goes to her a lot for advice, she's calm and merciful in a way that he is absolutely not. Maybe I'll give her a better role in Stormpaw's Demon-- maybe have her be the reason why Hailstar finally does something about Rainflower, who is his deputy in BB.

Also just a recap because it's been a while since I talked about this; Shellheart's not the biodad of Oakpaw and Stormpaw in this AU. He's their adopted dad. I'm going to be doing some stuff VERY differently from canon between Crookedstar's Promise and its BB equivalent, Stormpaw's Demon.

(I just had a thought to actually make her name in Clanmew especially interesting; instead of Echo as in "the echo of a cave," her name is echo as in "the echo of cracking ice." Cats have a much better sense of hearing, so they can hear those strange, otherworldly noises that thick ice makes when it cracks easier than humans can.

Living next to the water and having the river be such a big part of their lives, it would be SUPER fun if they had a dedicated onomatopoeia for it. Maybe even a few for some fun river words. Hmm... I'll put that in the notebook for the next Clanmew Day.)

Texted my immigrant esl mother that I wanted to show her a meme that related to a story I was going to tell her about my drawing parallels between theological concepts and botany

(This was the meme btw)

Anyways I forgot about it until later, when we were on call and I was telling her said story, and she was like:

“Ai vrut să-m arăți un mem?” (“You wanted to show me a meme?”)

She called it a mem

A mem

Деепричастные обороты в безличных предложениях...

Они везде, вообще везде

А, ну и деепричастные обороты к предложениям с неподходящим подлежащим тоже из той же серии

Построение предложений с порядком слов, как в английском, тоже везде

Перестановка слов для лучшей передачи атмосферы вышла из чата просто

Вместо того, чтобы просто почитать историю, я трачу время ещё на то, чтобы в голове построить нормально звучащие предложения из непонятной кальки

The Influence of Language on Thought and Perception

The Influence of Language on Thought and Perception Language, the fundamental tool of human communication, is not merely a medium for expressing thoughts but a profound shaper of cognition. The intricate relationship between language and thought has been a subject of fascination for scholars, linguists, and psychologists. As we delve into this complex interplay, we uncover how the languages we…

Ah, yes, Nelly Furtado's hit song Anteater. In completely unrelated news, several people have told me that I might be slightly dyslexic.
