officially turned in the first piece of original writing that isn't translation that I've managed to complete since I began employment at my current high-demand job last august, time to mentally check out and be this lil guy for the rest of my day off cuz what a vibe!!!!!!!
now that I have finally written the thing to be unlocked *💀 in ADHD*, I can officially boost @strangehorizons' 2023 fundraiser!! it's at $14,439 of its $15,000 goal, so we're just $561 away from 5,500 words of me going like this to explain the cosmology of #EverythingEverywhere:
if "the Everything Bagel and the googly eye are inverses of each other" piques your interest, well, that is expounded upon in my essay at length, through a Taoist framework
@PencilearsArt @clifton_r COMING SOON TO A SCREEN NEAR YOU

reading this as a US english speaker with no knowledge of scots and finding it mutually intelligible is an incredible experience that as a linguist I absolutely cherish
like, in my brain it feels like the same level of comprehension I get out of reading portuguese as a spanish speaker, and about the same amount of effort expended with pattern-finding phonological cognates and figuring out which words I just won’t be able to read
it’s a significantly higher level of comprehension than I can get out of japanese as a reader of chinese, and in terms of similar linguistic processes, it’s going more slowly than reading strong eye dialect of US english varieties but feels similar to that process

still thinking about this DM I sent earlier today “experience oblivion” —my p...
for those whose response is “I am both frightened and aroused,” the deli ticket dispenser to get in line for the Everything Sluthole is right over there 👉🏼
under taoist dualisms, the pussy, as a representation of 陰 yīn, absorbs the energy (semen) released by 陽 yáng, thereby depleting the bepenised of energy. though many conflate this with gender, I see this as a top–bottom dynamic that involves an inherent topping from the bottom

it was important to me that even though it’s outside the scope of my essay, I included a line about Native sovereignty and how supreme court decisions have infringed on it, bc “indigenous” applies to my cosmological frameworks too; I feel a solidarity while also being a settler
thinking about my place as a settler while being simultaneously excluded, de jure, from the USA, while the nation that is also nominally mine (the PRC) is on a colonial, genocidal quest that includes destruction of indigenous cultures in china as well as exploitation in africa…
…it’s a lot to think about and untangle, and it’s not so easy as saying that I don’t count as a settler because I’m not white, especially when you take into consideration recent patterns of AsAm settling of hawai‘i; it’s complex, overlapping spheres of context

absolutely fascinated by this translation mismatch in #EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce, which I see not as a mistranslation, but an adaptation for the target audience. once the @strangehorizons fundraiser reaches $15k, I’ll make a thread expounding on this! kickstarter.com/projects/stran… **Wong Kar-Waymond:** 我理解到妳...
here’s a background post on translation as adaptation that I wrote about 刘慈欣 liu cixin’s work: s.qiouyi.lu/modality-irrea…

this!!!!! it’s so easy for people to say “why aren’t you” and so rare for anyone to say “let me help you”
someone could talk 24/7 about various issues offline with twitter as their one place to post cat pics and enjoy themself, I can’t see the full multitudes and facets of everyone’s lives and assume that they’re NOT talking about or doing the thing
and just because someone talks 24/7 online and knows what to say and how to make you feel guilty, doesn’t mean they do jack shit offline. there’s many a person in just genre who’s made a name for themselves by Discoursing who wouldn’t have your back for shit

just remembered that I have enough space in my septum to stack rings, and that I can go as ridiculous as I want multiple or are septum rings
@ahhcherontia I sort of love this??
it’s ridiculous. yet… workably ridiculous.
