this fucking shit, you know

[bogleech]

I spend so much time carefully picking and adjusting the colors in every single drawing I make that I’d probably lose my mind if I didn’t just repeatedly push this out of my memory and pretend it’s not a thing. Why am I reblogging a blank empty post that doesn’t say anything??? Weird

[gaysheep]

good news! you can’t make sure that everyone will see the correct colors on their own device, but you can make sure your monitor is as accurate as possible for printing and sharing by calibrating it! 

there are a bunch of free monitor tests, but here’s an easy one you can use. the passmark and eizo tests are also pretty good, though passmark doesn’t work in your browser. be warned that some tests may cause eye strain.

you can either use the settings built into your monitor itself or use the display color calibration settings in your operating system to adjust the settings until everything looks correct, and then enjoy your accurate colors.

Photographers, too. Color calibrate your monitors if you intend to print or sell your work. There’s a ton of info out there for this.

[jessthecheesewitch]

What they have are five beverages and four waters. Water, by definition, cannot be a beverage.

[queen-rot]

[tiny-fallen-star-deactivated202]

sometimes i remember that hebrew was literally a dead language. dead!! for two thousand years!!!! until this one guy in the 1880′s was like hey fuck german and russian and spanish and french We Are Jews we should speak The Language Of The Jews!! and everyone was like dude tf hebrew is DEAD it’s OLD it’s missing too many words, we can’t use it. so he was like ok. i’ll make up new ones. checkmate, atheists and he fuckninh did he stood up by his little desk (?) and invented so many new words and wrote a whole dictionary and then he had a child and only spoke hebrew to him and that child was the first person who’s first language was hebrew in two thousand years and…………………………… i’m sorry i’m so emotional over my man, Eliezer Ben-Yehuda. he singe-handedly revived a dead language. what a man

[glintglimmergleam]

this is a very common myth about the revival of hebrew. it is also wrong. hebrew never died.

after the conquest of judea by the roman empire around the year 70 CE, hebrew stopped being most jews’ native language, but it did not disappear from speech or existence.

for 2000 years the jewish people continued writing and publishing texts in hebrew, including bible commentary, prayer books, poetry, literature, songs, memoirs, travel journals, newspaper articles, legal documents, theological debates, and greeting cards. it became the language of the religious literate, mostly upper class men and scholars, instead of daily speech.

eliezer ben yehuda was hugely influential in reviving hebrew for the common people in the modern era, but he did NOT do this single-handedly. that would have been impossible. he built on literally 2000 years of scholarship to publish his dictionary, and he also frankly traumatized his son in the process by refusing to teach him a language his peers spoke.

cutesy posts like this are damaging, because they not only teach false history, they imply to people in other cultures with dying languages, esp indigenous folks, that all you need is One Language Superhero to save the day. that’s not how language revitalization works. it is wrong and you should feel bad.

[jewish-tutter]

thank you for this reply. op bothered me but i hadnt enough time to research it yet

[starlightomatic]

Also, the OP misses that there *were* Jewish languages already. Yiddish, Judeo-Arabic, Dzudezmo, Yevanic, Juhuri… in fact, early settlers of Israel spoke Yiddish (that what glintglimmergleam is referring to above as the language Ben Yehuda’s son’s peers spoke). Personally I do think Ben Yehuda’s Hebrew revitalization project was amazing and important, but we should also acknowledge the role it (and Zionism more generally) played in erasing or diminishing other Jewish languages like Yiddish and Judeo-Arabic. I do think having one main language for a state is easiest, and I am absolutely in love with the fact that this ancient, holy language is used in mundane context like bus signs and Harry Potter books, but in an alternative universe there’s an Israel with tons of different Jewish languages being spoken in the streets and that’s pretty amazing too.
