Looks like somebody did get me your book for Christmas @songsforhorses.com \o/ Merry Christmas.

I'm a member of the Green Party, and I've just donated. If you can afford to and you want to see decent, humane local and national government policies that support the poor, migrants and the environment, please donate as well. Either way, please repost. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/hopeishere

I don't like to be the smug Linux user who tries to proselytise Linux to Windows users (as a recent convert myself), but Microsoft make it difficult. www.windowslatest.com/2025/11/19/w... www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/wi...

Winter is upon us once again, so I'm going to get out ahead of the Siberia misinformation this year: this dude is not "Russian Santa" Ded Moroz, this is Chysh Khan, the Bull of Winter, in Sakha tradition. He rises from the Arctic seas and spreads winter with his breath.

Went to see Huun Huur Tu in Copenhagen tonight & they were incredible

Out with the Royal Enfield this morning and out for a walk this afternoon, maybe next weekend, find a new place to walk & ride out there. The Royal Enfield is such a joy, I'll happily make up excuses to just go out. #motosky

Love my 3 motorbikes, but one of them might be a little small for me...

IM RIGHT - dashare.zone ADMIN

i drew a ff7 doodles

So, I got a new bike, as a back up to my NC750X. It feels so nice to ride. Good decision. Will have fun on this.

"We have to cancel kristallnacht 2.0 because the guy was one of the people we were grooming to take part in it" is a heck of a twist to be sure

A recent initiative highlights the potential of digital platforms in supporting Indigenous language revitalisation. Métis Life, a new Roblox-based game developed by Maskwa Games, integrates lessons in Northern Michif into an interactive & engaging gaming experience. 🔗 tinyurl.com/3jkttvps TLDR 👇

This kills me every time. #language #humor #nerdhumor #linguistics

Yesterday's walk around some fens (maybe I should post these up more). Heard lots of different species of warbler, they don't know how to shut up.

Just spotted a sign for "NGU Construction", if you understand some Vietnamese then you'll understand why I found it funny (ngu = stupid) #langsky

The upside to Duolingo replacing contractors with AI is that people who have long been attached to their Duolingo streak are now trying out alternatives & will likely find something better that helps their language learning journey more. #langsky

Morning walk.

Pineapple apparently doesn't belong on pizza, but in cider? Pretty good.

On a cabin holiday in a forest & the local deer are friendly enough to feed.

Been having a conversation with Claude AI in Mongolian & it seems it has improved since I last tried, it might be useful for practice, I am not going to trust its Mongolian is 100% correct, but at least it understands me & responds conversationally. #langsky

Maybe I am getting carried away with installing Anki addons... #langsky

After long declaring I dislike Anki, finding add ons and making customizations I think has made it grow on me. And I can still get my mnemonics in. I have a monkey brain, though still playing around with it. #langsky

Today in developer problems: Trying to write meeting minutes in Microsoft Word and instinctively using Markdown...correcting yourself and then using Markdown again. Maybe I should see if there is a plugin rather than correct my habit...

I think my mnemonics are getting risky. I am by no means a Zenos fan... The word is "asuukh" or "to ask". #ffxiv #langsky

The Mongolian language flows with rhythm and expression, carrying stories, culture, and tradition. Discover its beauty and meaning. Ready to explore? Start here: chl.anu.edu.au/mongolian-st... @anu-asiapacific.bsky.social @linguisticsanu.bsky.social @ecdi.bsky.social @mongoliafocus.bsky.social

#langsky Got into a good habit with getting some Mongolian done daily. Maybe now I can slip in some Tuvan vocabulary to get me into a good habit with that. Also, trying Brainscape for Flash Cards. "Kill Ear" is the mnemonic here.

Noticed that "B" used in the Eorzean script in FFXIV is just " B" in Mongolian script but backwards...

When my motorcycle jacket gathers frost omw to work, I think it is safe to say it's cold out.

May have made Mongolian buuz, or my best attempt at least.

Seems tonberries make for good motivation for language study. Don't want to get stabbed. #langsky #finalfantasy

Focusing on one language at a time when there are other languages you're keen to learn, the struggle is real. Watching Uncle Roger in Malaysia has reminded me Indonesian is on my list and working on a project for a Welsh client frequently reminds me Welsh is on my list. #langsky

My 65 words for the day. #langsky This one was harder, but I think I got good use out of the dative case. There's probably mistakes, but I learned things at the same time so I could write certain bits. Translation is in the alt text.

Love this Mongolia metal band, but they clearly are fans of Rammstein judging by this song (there was a good live version I was gonna link instead, but couldn't find it, think it's been taken down). It's what I am listening to whilst I am tidying right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0fF...

I enjoyed doing my handwritten prompts & will continue, but after seeing @65words.bsky.social 's thing, I tried one of their prompts as I have no imagination myself & it's a cool idea. #langsky Apologies to any Italians who can read Mongolian or my alt text.

Damn monkey brain. Working through customer data at work. "Why is there a boolean in the surname field". Their name was "True", it was their name, not a boolean...

Confession time, I never got into MLP: FIM though many did when I was younger. Having discovered there's a Mongolian version floating around, my goals are to be able to finally see what the fuss was about, but in Mongolian. #langsky. youtu.be/M-XBTuZlEJw?...

My latest mnemonic. For "to want" or "хүсэх/khüsekh". #langsky

Stir-fried squirrel anyone?

I may enjoy mnemonics. #langsky (I don't actually have anything against Ed Sheeran)

Weather actually nice enough for a walk.

#langsky for when you need to learn a Slavic language quick, try...

Although it has been a busy week, putting together Flashcards on my phone & listening to music in my target language has at least kept me doing something even if not getting in writing exercises. Ignore the "Masculine Noun" bit, limitation of the app I've created them in (prefer it to Anki) #langsky

I love this little book. #langsky

1. Become a professional writer 2. Professional & Creative Writing 3. No change 4. Hybrid of software & web developer (I write good documentation at least)

1. Japanese, but still remember bits 2. Tuvan, it feels like it has a rhythm to it and has vowel harmony 3. German, lived in Germany for a bit as a kid and learned in school 4. Welsh, was born in Wales 5. Tuvan, guess it would be cool to contribute, given scarcity of resources for English speakers.
