Portuguese put the words it inherited from Latin through a lot of fascinating sound changes. This becomes extra clear when you compare them to later borrowings of the same Latin word: ‘chão’ and ‘plano’ both come from Latin ‘plānum’! Here’s episode 5 of my 10-part series. Tomorrow: Romanian.

Today is the final day to send us your abstracts! You have until midnight (UK time)! 😁 Here is the submission link: forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/respon...

If you're a cis person who wants to be kind to your trans and nonbinary friends right now, please do not forward us links to stories about trans people being abused, having their rights taken away, or living in fear. We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. 💖

Are you interested in becoming several data analysts? Apparently, you're in luck! /j

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
