My 2025 langblr goals:*
Post on here more often, possibly regularly
Learn enough Telugu - to be able to read a short story in an hour
Post Kolami & Koya langblr content - to keep the language alive
Learn other languages passively (maybe Japanese or BSL?)
Post Hindi & Urdu langblr content - to strengthen Hindi and learn Urdu
*atm, which might change if I get a job and/or move like i plan to.
I think sometimes people think eugenics is bad but its still true, like thinking that if people with certain traits have children it will change society for better or worse based upon what traits are promoted. I think its important to emphasize that eugenics is not only wrong morally it's also fake and stupid bullshit
Like eugenics was supposed to be based on the idea that "If it works with animals to select only the best ones to breed, why wouldn't it work with humans?"
well it doesn't work with animals, that's the thing. applying the eugenics ideas to domestic breeds of animals hasn't made better animals it's just made animals with more extreme expression of certain traits. turns out that when you decide which traits are the "best" and become obsessed with the genetic purity of the animals that have the "best" traits, you might well end up with some sad suffering creature like a Pug, or the Persian cats with the smashed faces that are in constant pain because their teeth and airways and brains are getting crushed by their skulls, or those meat chickens that grow so fast they can hardly even stand up after a few weeks old, or inbred race horses with tiny feet and fragile toothpick legs
like almost all traits are neither "good" or "bad" they're way more complex than that. a long tail or a long snout or a stubborn, independent personality can be good or bad depending on the situation. Who gets to decide what is a "good" trait or a "bad" trait? It's arbitrary and selecting for traits that are "good" in your opinion will often have both "good" and "bad" outcomes because the "good" and "bad" are part of each other and not separate its just part of being alive
Obviously oversimplifying everything but you get it. we did eugenics with dogs and how did that go? not very well
#sometimes people express the sentiment in op's first paragraph but call it ''evolution'' instead of eugenic#this is based on a misunderstanding of what evolution is and how it works that has been heavily pushed BY eugenicists#scala naturae my fucking beLOATHED#natural selection is not a force that makes things ''better'' it is just a directional pressure on the process of evolution#that arises as a consequence of environmental stressors acting on a population#and in the long term it's not even necessarily directional#it's transiently directional for as long as the stressor lasts#there is no end there is no final form there is no perfect organism that's not how it WORKS

desiblr is filled with sanghis
exactly why i started posting! tumblr is such an actively leftist and queer space that many closeted indians run to, it makes no sense! so figured i’d just make an account to help against that. can’t just accept the status quo.

I think i kind combine them. Like anki cards with Dangme and sign language. Would that be smart or what? Has someone done sign language convinced with other language for wocabulary learning? Did it work?
