Traveling to Copenhagen this week for #LCC12! I and bunch of other moderators from r/conlangs will be doing a forum on Saturday answering questions about the subreddit and conlanging communities in general. If you'd like to a submit a question, check it out here: #conlang

it honestly disappoints me that “chardonnay” is spelt like that

1 million seconds is 11.5 days. 1 trillion seconds is 32,709 years. obscene.

last night i dreamt up a new propaganda technique called the “fuel and wrong argument” where you basically ragebait someone into accepting a false premise.

Here is a bit of a fashion page about the clothing and customs of the central isles. Apologies for the handwritten notes, trying to use the text function in CSP drove me up the wall.

dentist: “do you have any questions?” me, mouth full of gauze, unable to feel the left side of my face: “g”

“Don’t take it easy on me, kid!” Uvi’s knees felt like solid rock. His feet stung, his arms throbbed, his eyes were covered in dust and sweat, and his blood was as hot as fire. He looked up at his opponent, standing confident over him despite also being a kid. www.zaunajma.com/webzine-may-26

It's time. This time on time! Read about a reigning martial arts champion, the ajma of feeling good, and a really tall monument in this month's Zaun Ajma webzine! www.zaunajma.com/webzine-may-26

Accidentally wrote a five-page short story for this month’s webzine.

random question: when you hear “ballplayer,” what’s the first sport you think of?

was reading about supermassive black holes at 2am last night because i know what’s good for me

you could tell the birds that their notes are pitchy and their rhythm is awkward, or you could listen closely and sing along. 🐥🎶

so glad cats are real

pretty sure writing a novel is easier than writing that novel’s blurb.

Just published my totally-not-late webzine. Read to learn about a popular beach, a lovestruck girl, and a set of twin spirits that may or may not have ended the world. Enjoy! www.zaunajma.com/webzine-apri...

It’s our turn next, USA.

Love this video from @hankgreen.bsky.social - beautiful photos made all the more beautiful when you understand what's going on youtu.be/oaXRREHVkHo?...

can’t believe they made outer space real

I remember listening to astronaut Victor Glover describing this scene on the live stream. After hours of giving very poetic and detailed descriptions of the moon’s surface, he was completely dumbfounded at this point and just said it looked “sci-fi.” and yeah no he was right.

#Artemis II - Photo 2 from yesterdays flyby ECLIPSE. April 6, 2026. Totality, beyond Earth. From lunar orbit, the Moon eclipses the Sun, revealing a view few in human history have ever witnessed. Photo: NASA 🚀🌕🌑

#Artemis II - We have the first image from yesterdays Lunar flyby captured by the crew on Orion EARTHSET. April 6, 2026. Humanity, from the other side. First photo from the far side of the Moon. Captured from Orion as Earth dips beyond the lunar horizon. 🚀🌕🌍

my eyes and ears have been so glued to the moon all day that i didn’t have the focus to finish and publish this month’s Zaun Ajma Webzine. It will come soon. Just late.

#Artemis II - The crew onboard the Orion are now witnessing a solar eclipse from behind the moon, something nobody from the history of humanity has ever witnessed They may also be able to see other planets such as Venus, Saturn, Mars and Mercury during this experience 🚀🌕🌓🌒🌑

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

#Artemis II - A beautiful moment from the live feed from Orion Spacecraft, in 5 mins the blackout from Mission Control, the feed captures the spacecraft, dark side of the moon and earth all in one shot 🚀🌕🌍

#Artemis II - Orion Spacecraft Crew are T-Minus 55mins until they break the record for the furthest distance humans have ever travelled into space 🚀🌕

#Artemis II - Moon Flyby Timings ‼️🌕 2:45pm ET 7:45pm GMT Lunar observations are due to begin 6:45pm ET 11:45pm GMT There will then be a loss of signal 8:45pm EST 1:45am GMT Orion to observe an eclipse where the sun disappears behind the moon. 9:20PM EST 2.20am GMT Lunar observations will end 🚀🌕

go go go! 🥲

i’m beginning to suspect that the best way to get something done is to do it.

imagine trying to do something simple like, i dunno, converting a PowerPoint to PDF, and a multi-gazillion dollar company like, i dunno, Microsoft, was like "we're actually gonna take ur beautiful high-resolution photos and bork them to high heavens. hope you die." that would be crazy, right?

This month's webzine is out! Here, I write about some of the cultures outside of Wistania (the primary setting of my novels), so I'm excited to finally start exploring their lore. www.zaunajma.com/webzine-marc...

idk why i keep playing these

is this about discord?

personally, i think we should keep backlashing them.

frienemy -> hatemate

them: “the stock market is doing great!” me, who started investing last year: “ah, i’ve made 11 dollars.”

Writing is thinking. It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.

I’m not the type to get offended when someone accidentally misgenders my cat, but she’s literally a calico.

guys i think my merriam-webster dictionary website is broken???
