#language of unity

[news4nose]

Hindi Diwas is a celebration of our linguistic diversity and a tribute to the language that binds our nation together.

It’s not just about promoting Hindi but also about acknowledging that Hindi is the language that serves as a means to bring us all together and connect us in unity.

 As Indians, we understand the power of unity in this diversity, and we appreciate Hindi as a medium that strengthens our bonds with all our fellow countrymen. जय हिन्द, जय भारत।

Please stop forgetting nonbinary people!

Theyfab isn't a transmasc-specific slur. It's always been used against any nonbinary person assumed to be AFAB.

Though the AGAB of nonbinary people is nobody's business in the first place, it bears repeating that not every AFAB nonbinary person is transmasculine, just as not every AMAB nonbinary person is transfeminine.

These bigots aren't just transphobic towards trans men/mascs, they're exorsexist as well. We'll be stronger if we stick up for each other and push back against them together!

Edit: Just to make it clear, theyfab is being used against transmascs as well! I just want people to also acknowledge the non-transmasc nonbinary people being hurt.

I know it’s not always easy and most of us weren’t taught to truly love or receive love

but the only way to experience more love in your life and create more love in the world is to simply give and receive love… freely, openly, generously

not intellectualizing love, not quantifying love, not finding reasons for love

just love period

because you are love and love is what holds this life together

me [takes your face gently between my hands]: hob gadling would not be a history professor at any number of british universities because of how humanities academia works and even if he were, rose walker would not be his student or advisee.

Blessed be you, mighty matter, irresistible march of evolution, reality ever newborn; you who, by constantly shattering our mental categories, force us to go ever further and further in our pursuit of the truth.

Can't wait for an Arno sticker pack ✨

Of course take your time! I love all your stickers! (My favorite is the Desmond one so far)

THANK YOU SO MUCH ANON AAAA 💖💕 I definitely have a lot to do before Arno but I would gladly share my sketchs and ideas for his set later since I'm replaying Unity as we speak :3c

Linguistic Diversity

As you know, I decided to join a party and become politically active in the real world. And while two weeks ago on the election Sunday we were watching the live stream with everyone from the party, there was a question coming up: "Who the fuck are the SSW?" Because this party got ONE seat in the parliament. Which is not a lot, but more than the FDP and BSW got. lol

Now, I knew this, because I spent a lot of time in my early childhood in Northern Germany, where the party is from. The SSW is the "Süd Schleßwiger Wählervereinigung". Which is a party from Northern Germany who is fairly left wing and stands in for the rights of linguistic minorities in Northern Germany.

You know how a lot of indigenous languages were almost eliminated by being forbidden and people forgetting them eventually? How we just barely managed to save some languages of the polynesian language families? Or how one indigenous language was literally saved through a dream quest?

Yeah, here is the thing: The world was a lot more linguistically diverse until fairly recently. Because not all what is France today spoke French for the longest time. Not every area where today folks speak German, spoke German 300 years ago. There were a whole lot more languages in the different countries.

Now, obviously, a lot of those languages are related to one another. Basically what happened was: Due to travelling being a whole bigger pain in the ass before trains and cars and stuff, so people more rarely travelled further. And because people were more isolated from one another, more people developed their own dialects, that over time developed into their unique languages.

In Northern Germany there are several languages that were kept alive over the years. Most notably Friesisch, especially as the Frisians do identify as their unique culture apart from the rest of Germany. Still, there is a lot of fighting for the language to be still taught in the local schools and such. Same goes for other languages and dialects that are being spoken in that area.

And the same is true for most European countries. Usually within the borders of each European country there are at least three or four unique languages, that are being spoken by some minority within the country, but have to fight to survive.

A lot of countries love to push for everyone to speak the same language within the "nation". But through this they often eradicate old languages, even though this is also a type of diversity that is quite valuable.

Through words and concepts we are still continually misled into imagining things as being simpler than they are, separate from one another, indivisible, each existing in and for itself. A philosophical mythology lies concealed in language which breaks out again every moment, however careful one may be otherwise.

it's so weird talking about language and culture with young american people because it just feels like. there's such a fundamental lack in understanding that languages spread and cultures intermingle. there's a massive difference between "cultural appropriation" and "living in your environment" or "sharing things with others." it's honestly astonishing how much people want to create sharp divisions in life experiences and behaviors based on perceived background even though those sharp divisions rarely exist in the real world...

Most of the Canadian provincial premiers loathe Trump (aside from Danielle Smith from Alberta who went down to Florida to kiss the ring and kiss his ass) but the Ontario Premier Doug Ford (similar character in a different font) probably hates him the most and I would pay money to see him and Trump dress up in weird wrestling outfits and brawl in the ring. Would it fix anything? Probably not. But it would be funny.

Days 47-50 of coding everyday for a year... It's been stressful

So I worked on with the image on top a game in Unity. I made a reverse murder mystery visual novel for Brackeys game jam. The bottom was me getting a feel for C++ still. Tbh I'm still kind of lost with it, but I'm trying. (it's just so different from C# in some ways). I'm also doing a small coding challenge every morning after I've had my coffee with C# since that's the language I'm going to base most of my career off of (I can do Java/Kotlin, and C++ but C# is special)

Here's a link to the game...

The next few days I'll be working on more C++, and my .Net Maui project. I also might be practicing some coding interview questions/tests since the summer is coming up soon (I did make an impressive fizzbuzz with a twist)
