This is what everyone needs. That, and universal healthcare, housing, and education. But this is a great start.

This is an absolutely terrific piece from @texastribune.org and reinforces my belief that the best coverage of right-wing cancelations occur at the local level, after years of the national media focusing on threats from the left. www.texastribune.org/2025/09/19/t...

Here’s a write-up of features of Ts’íts’àsh! #conlang dedalvs.tumblr.com/post/7203081...

My book is coming out in a month!! #conlang www.cambridge.org/highereducat...

New #AoLI on color terms! #conlang youtu.be/CvsoXH_dlDU?...

Check out the latest episode of @conlangery.com to hear @quothalinguist.bsky.social and I discuss #Superman, #Kryptonian, #Kopikon, and Jessie’s upcoming #conlang textbook The Conlang Guide! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2seX...

I talked to @dedalvs.bsky.social and @quothalinguist.bsky.social about a few announcements, including Kopikon II, Jessie's textbook, and their latest movie project, Superman. #conlang #language #linguistics #superman youtu.be/2seXy5n3Vog

The latest work from me and @quothalinguist.bsky.social is the new #Kryptonian language in #Superman: #SuhAnkripton! #conlang

I got to talk to @dedalvs.bsky.social and @quothalinguist.bsky.social recently about a lot of things, including a certain movie. You can find the full episode on Patreon today, or wait until Monday for the YouTube release. #conlang #language #linguistics #superman. www.patreon.com/posts/kopiko...

This month’s #FiatLingua is by @quothalinguist.bsky.social. Jessie has revisited her very first language experiment as a young child—mixing up the sounds of English—to see if she could start with a similar premise but create a full-fledged #conlang out of it. fiatlingua.org/2025/07/

We’re doing it again! Kopikon II is happening on October 10th at the University of Edinburgh. If you’d like to enjoy an afternoon of #conlang fun we hope to see you there! You can register and find out more info here: kopikon.com

Come and see one half of Let's Have a Bouba! I can't say it will be even half as fun without Miles but it would be great to hang out and see you there.

Love that sweet, sweet Stardew…

What a different world we could have.

You can watch the interview that @quothalinguist.bsky.social and I did for CBS Sunday Morning today here: youtu.be/EoCNir_tOsM?... #conlang #dune #gameofthrones #langtimestudio

Learning the history (and name!) of the Roozh Linge language from its creators, @quothalinguist.bsky.social and @dedalvs.bsky.social 🧜‍♀️.

I love this!! I love getting inspired by other conlangers and their brilliance. 🤩 #conlang

This Sunday at 6 a.m. Pacific @quothalinguist.bsky.social and I will be on CBS Sunday Morning talking about #conlang work!

“Creativity is found in the wild brambles beyond the glade of clear cut ideas, so you can’t pick its fruit unless you’re willing to get scratched by burrs.” ~ Me, writing as the Greek muse of history in my next book #amwriting #wip

FYI I think I’m creating my best language right now—and you will hear it, but only for about a minute of screen time, and then probably never again. It’s so good, though… #conlang

Here @dedalvs.bsky.social looks less sickly… Here’s to hoping the scarf heals him. ❤️

Here’s a new translation into my #conlang Sdefa! In a few days I’ll be able to post the whole thing, and I don’t want to say too much about it before I do. But for now here’s a little preview!

been doing the 365 day conlang challenge by @quothalinguist.bsky.social Day 3 is done and I am loving it so far. I know it's all baby steps but part of that is because I do these in the evening/night #conlang #challenge #PLUR

I had a lightbulb moment this morning when I realized French "plaît" (as in "s'il vous plaît") is cognate with English "please." "Please" was borrowed from Old French "plaise," a form of "plaire," which ultimately comes from Latin "placēo."

I’m obviously much younger than @dedalvs.bsky.social… 😂 Also, I didn’t see many movies in the theater when I was young, but this was one of them!!

A reminder that I and a whole bunch of worldbuilding and conlanging YouTuber friends are on the Artifexian Christmas Quiz, which is premiering right now!

This is Cowsie, whom @quothalinguist.bsky.social made by hand! @artifexian.bsky.social

An interesting look at trust/distrust and game theory: ncase.me/trust/

I decided to post my #ConlangYear work on my website, should you want to follow along. www.quothalinguist.com/2025/01/02/m... #conlang

Latin "medeor" ("to heal, cure") with the suffix "-icus" (a nominal agent suffix) came to mean "healing, curative" but also "magic". It was inherited into French becoming "médecin" ("doctor"). English borrowed the Middle French word "medicin," applying it to the substances used for remedies. 1/2

Happy New Year! I was once again invited to be a contestant on @artifexian.bsky.social's Annual Christmas Quiz along with @dedalvs.bsky.social, @quothalinguist.bsky.social , @conlangery.com, and @madelinejames.bsky.social . The episode premieres tomorrow at 7 pm UTC: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeKu...

Happy 2025! Το many more films and compilations!

I’m going to give my own challenge a go this year! 😁

A bonus #Lexember #Valyrian glyph for New Year’s Day is gīs “spirit”. Keep your spirit intact as we face the rising tide of glohighvalyrian #got #gameofthrones #hotd #houseofthedragont. #conlang #language #highvalyrian #got #gameofthrones #hotd #houseofthedragon #orthography

The final Vuochanad word for this year’s #Lexember is “liva” (“games”), from *liba. It has been a lot of fun to work on Vuochanad this month, and I look forward to expanding that work in the future. “Mivu’e sadhi emwa’aña tèliva.” (“The friends play games together.”) #conlang

Jimmy's here in Heaven, and let me tell you, it's rare to meet someone who got the 'love thy neighbor' part so right.

To anyone who might know this answer, is it possible to favorite or pin an account on Bluesky so you'll always see their posts?

Today’s #Lexember #Valyrian glyph is keligon “to stop”. Today I remember my precious cat Keli, whom we lost last night. www.tumblr.com/dedalvs/7713...

The Vuochanad word for #Lexember 30 is “emwa” (“friends”), from *ɛmwa “siblings.” In the sentence “Mivu’e sadhi emwa’aña tèliva” (“The friends play games together”), it occurs with a suffix marking a definite reading of the noun—the apostrophe indicates vowel hiatus. #conlang

When I say “art”, this is what I’m referring to.

The Vuochanad word for #Lexember 29 is “sadhi” (“together”), from the preposition phrase *sa-todzi meaning “like one.” The sentence “Mivu’e sadhi emwa’aña tèliva” means “The friends play games together.” #conlang

Today’s Vuochanad #Lexember word is “mivum” (“to play”), featured in the sentence “Mivu’e sadhi emwa’aña tèliva” (“The friends play games together”). I’m still working out the romanization, but for now I’m using apostrophes to represent vowel hiatus. #conlang

If you search for something in Google and type -ai after whatever you’re searching, it won’t give you any AI results. It takes an extra step but is worth it to me. The AI summary is often wrong and takes energy that doesn’t need to be consumed.

AI data centers are multiplying across the U.S. and sucking up huge amounts of power. New evidence shows they may also be distorting the normal flow of electricity for millions of Americans

Today’s #Lexember #Valyrian glyph is sȳndor “shadow”. I love this word for “shadow”. To me it feels like what it represents. #conlang #highvalyrian #hotd #houseofthedragon #asoiaf
