Alice Te Punga Somerville, Always Italicise: How to Write While Colonised - Kupu rere kē

[ID: A poem titled: Kupu rere kē. [in italics] My friend was advised to italicise all the foreign words in her poems. This advice came from a well-meaning woman with NZ poetry on her business card and an English accent in her mouth. I have been thinking about this advice. The convention of italicising words from other languages clarifies that some words are imported: it ensures readers can tell the difference between a foreign language and the language of home. I have been thinking about this advice. Marking the foreign words is also a kindness: every potential reader is reassured that although you're expected to understand the rest of the text, it's fine to consult a dictionary or native speaker for help with the italics. I have been thinking about this advice. Because I am a contrary person, at first I was outraged — but after a while I could see she had a point: when the foreign words are camouflaged in plain type you can forget how they came to be there, out of place, in the first place. I have been thinking about this advice and I have decided to follow it. Now all of my readers will be able to remember which words truly belong in -[end italics]- Aotearoa -[italics]- and which do not.

Leona's post is here.

Her YT video is here.

Please spread Leona's story, and her evidence, as much as you can. She has a mountain of evidence proving Bethesda/Zenimax a hostile work environment for trans women, and she deserves to be heard and to receive justice for being forced out of her job.

Edit: If you are anti-trans and are reblogging this post, please know you look fucking stupid. Your ideology is pathetic and weak. You are so fragile the thought of people existing in ways you don't personally approve of causes you distress. Your only outlets for expression are crytyping into an echo chamber just as weak and pathetic as you. You aren't proving anything by reblogging this post with prejudice. The literal only thing you are doing is engaging in cruelty that makes you feel better emotionally, because you're all so immature you rely on taking out your feelings on other people rather than do so in a constructive, adult manner. There is nothing revolutionary about any of you people. You are, truly, a population of some of the saddest people on the planet. The people who do not view you with hatred view you with pity, because those are the only feelings you could ever inspire.
