Do you and your sibling(s) have a matching set of first names?

yes, there is a distinct logic in how our parents named us

not specifically but our names have similar vibes

no, our names sound very different

multiple siblings with multiple cases

nuance / only child / see results

Remaining time: 4 days 18 hours

By that I mean if you and your sibling(s) are all named after the same fictional story or group of people, have alliterating names, named in alphabetical order—anything that intentionally indicates you are from the same family. I see it with fictional siblings all the time, but barely know anyone like this in real life.

I will always find it so absurd that Cassandra Pentaghast is supposedly "straight". she's literally called Lady Seeker

Could you perchance do a pronouns guide in Old English ? For no reason, of course.

here are all the pronouns, from Peter Baker's incredibly useful magic sheet.

out of all the aspects of grammar, pronouns are probably one of the easier things to explain to a modern english speaker because pronouns are basically the only things modern english still declines for case and gender.

so ic/me/min are used the same as I/me/my. you do need to think about case in places where you might not be used to; þu corresponds to þe in the same way that I corresponds to me, not like modern you, which doesn't have a different accusative/dative form.

dual doesn't show up all that often, but it is exactly what it sounds like; it refers to exactly two people.

you can probably get away with not thinking about case all that much for first and second person by relying on what modern english does, but third person is a little more complicated

there are three genders: masculine, neuter, and feminine. neuter is the ancestor of modern it and similarly would be strange to be use for a person (but i mean have fun with it). but the animate/inanimate distinction is not as strict as it is in modern english; he/heo are used for grammatically masculine and feminine inanimate things as well as people. gender doesn't matter for plural pronouns though.

you also need to think about case. modern english doesn't really distinguish between accusative and dative. generally, you use dative forms for objects of prepositions and accusative everywhere else you would use me/him/her (thought there are plenty of exceptions). if you don't know a language that uses case, this takes some getting used to. also don't worry about the I. in the demonstrative pronouns; the instrumental case was disappearing around the time oe started being written down and was absorbed by the dative.

Obligatory "please buy my book" post, some I'm not doing great at getting the word out that it exists. Instagram and Facebook aren't working. I hate TikTok with a fiery passion. We all know Tumblr is not monetizable. Although my publisher is very diligently reposting all of my crappy reels.

Save a Pride, read a lesbian (knight) or something 🤷

actually pigs shouldn't be at pride even outside of uniform. fuck those guys

if you decide to become a police officer then that outweighs any other marginalised identity you can rustle up like. not sorry, who asked you to willingly become a pig

Look, it's simple. If a person has to actively work to make money, they're not "the rich" and they're not the problem. A surgeon making $200k a year still stops making money if they stop showing up to do surgery, because they're still selling their labor. The radical discrepancies in how we value different skills are certainly a problem, but the guy who makes money when he doesn't even get out of bed is the one making money on the value of other people's labor.

They shed their baby beards to make room for their adult beards. Like with baby teeth.

French-Iranian author and illustrator Marjane Satrapi, best known for the book and film “Persopolis”, has died of "sadness", members of her

This one hurt, her work had such a profound effect on my life, thoughts, and politics.

May her memory be a blessing

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!
