For the folks in the back: OCR predates LLMs. HTR software predates LLMs. Digital Humanities predates LLMs. Grammar and spell checkers predate LLMs. YOU DO NOT NEED THE PLAGIARISM MACHINES.

Getting new script pages with one word of one line changed on one page has the same energy as “this meeting could’ve been an email”.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.

No goal tending?

WOW. #Suns

I hate how much I love watching Dillon Brooks’ on ball defense… #Suns @eboldy.bsky.social

Wow, #Wordle. Wow.

This month for Fiat Lingua I did a re-read and reflect on @quothalinguist.bsky.social’s new book How to Create a Language: The Conlang Guide. I go through each chapter and give you my thoughts along the way and some bts info on how it was produced. #conlang fiatlingua.org/2026/01/

If you’ve got a FB account, toss a vote towards my friend’s fancy cat Finn: americasfavpet.com/2026/finn-1f52

First Grayson Allen, now Dillon Brooks… Suns absolutely obsessed with #enemiestolovers… Help me, @eboldy.bsky.social.

Our final #Lexember word is the game name itself! Sovála got its name from Engála, our #conlang for rabbits, and is the name of the lake in their region. The name means "Great Heart". <3 #LangTime

Our #Lexember word for today comes from Sarkezhe, our #conlang for cats: "yikwi" means "blood water" and refers to the magical water-based substance that gives all our Sovála characters their abilities (including their ability to speak!). #LangTime

For the final three days of #Lexember, we are focusing on some key vocabulary for the name of the game, Sovála. Today's word is "amùghù", which means "battle" in Haughòf (our #conlang for dogs). A subtitle for Sovála is "The Battle of the Blood Water"! #LangTime

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

Today’s #Lexember #Valyrian glyph is brōzi “name”. This word features prominently in one of my all time favorite scenes from Game of Thrones: the introduction of Grey Worm played by Jacob Anderson. Thanks for joining me this Lexember! #conlang #highvalyrian #HouseOfTheDragon

Today’s #Lexember #Valyrian glyph is jemagon “to lead”. The glyph is a depiction of a light leading a boat. #conlang #highvalyrian #HouseOfTheDragon

Today’s #Lexember word is *hngimbzi,* meaning “to bake.” This word was brought to you by @dedalvs.bsky.social recently saying he DEFINITELY didn’t want to make a new word starting with /ŋ̊/ in his conlang. Well, I did! You can read about some related Valya words here: www.tumblr.com/levunalangs/...

Today’s #Lexember #Valyrian glyph is rytsa “healthy”. It’s from this root that the common greeting rytsas derives. #conlang #highvalyrian #HouseOfTheDragon

We're wrapping up our week's focus on actions characters can take in the Sovála game with "shäs", which means "to sneak" in Loh Akish, our #conlang for foxes! #LangTime #Lexember

Today’s #Lexember #Valyrian glyph is pālegon “to turn”. Pāletilla for “crown” is one of my favorite derivations from this root. #conlang #highvalyrian #HouseOfTheDragon

Àŋósahàsétipé'ássìŋóílsolsìjúnastòŋhóppi. "Spoon apple mixture onto half of a flattened circle of dough." This Nómàk'óla #Lexember entry almost featured a new verb ("éssoppi"), but I changed its meaning to mean "to scoop" rather than "to spoon". www.quothalinguist.com/2025/12/27/l... #conlang

Our #Lexember word for today is "khi", which means "to cast a spell" and comes from Sarkezhe, our #conlang for cats. The cats are perhaps the most magical of the animals in Sovála, so it's a fitting word to come from their language! #LangTime

Today’s #Lexember #Valyrian glyph is ñāqien “sunrise”. Aside from its meaning, this is one of the few content words with an -ien ending, giving some company to the name Targaryen (in Valyrian, Targārien). #conlang #highvalyrian #HouseOfTheDragon

Today’s #Lexember #Valyrian glyph is sambar “cloud”. Wishing everyone a joyful, peaceful day full of whispers and fluffy clouds. :) #conlang #highvalyrian #HouseOfTheDragon

Our #Lexember word for today is "tshiet", which means "to defend" in Tpaalha, our #conlang for opossums. This word comes from an older root meaning "to push away", and this opossum stands ready to push attackers away with a decorative shield! #LangTime

Àsèvúfawepésáhe. "Mix the dry ingredients together." For #Lexember 5, I created two new words in my #conlang Nómàk'óla: "sáhe" meaning "to mix" and "èvúfawe", which can be used to refer to dry ingredients in baking. www.quothalinguist.com/2025/12/05/l...

Today’s #Lexember #Valyrian glyph is rios “valley”. It’s also used as the main content glyph for trūma “deep”. #conlang #highvalyrian #HouseOfTheDragon

Today’s #Lexember #Valyrian glyph is tepagon “to give”. This word is only used with first or second person subjects or objects. So basically, if you say the queen gave a dragon egg to her son, you don’t use this word. Instead, you’d use irughagon. #conlang #highvalyrian #HouseOfTheDragon

For our last Sovála weapon word for this week of #Lexember, "minkhüm" means "bow" in Loh Akish, our #conlang for foxes. It consists pf the verb root meaning "to pull" and a nominal derivation indicating a patientive object—a bow is a "pull thing". #LangTime

Pénéwehaŋú. Jošwìþútofwèwéti. Konàhúpéfóhopwiínnepe. "Let the apples cook until they are soft. Stir them occasionally." I created a handful of new words/phrases for today's Nómàk'óla #Lexember entry, including the adverb "ínnepe" ("occasionally"). www.quothalinguist.com/2025/12/21/l... #conlang

Our #Lexember word for today comes from Nulisü, our #conlang for beavers. The weapon of choice for this warrior is a "thakipak", or an axe. The word is an old compound coming from "tooth hammer"! #LangTime

Today’s #Lexember #Valyrian glyph is rūs “infant”. The word “infant” is notably not the same word as “child”. As in most languages. (Looking at people complaining about Kal-El being Star Child.) #conlang #highvalyrian #HouseOfTheDragon
