Ten days ago, I organized an "Inclusive French" workshop in Paris, to discuss how you can be more inclusive (feminism, gender neutral) in both written and spoken French!
It was so cool, about 40 people showed up and we talked about how to talk about nonbinary people, strategies to be more inclusive of women especially when talking about groups...
So cool in fact that I decided to host an online one for people who aren't in Paris.
The first online workshop will be on Saturday, January 31st at 6pm CET (so 5pm GET, 12pm EST and 9am PST)

I would like to bring your attention to two fundraisers that are near and dear to my heart.
@elhamhamdan-gaza is a young woman trying to survive in Gaza with her family. She was a top student at university until October 2023, when she and her family were displaced from their home in Khan Younis and forced to flee to Rafah. After the invasion in Rafah, they returned to their home in Khan Younis only to find it burned. They had no choice but to live in it. Elham and her family desperately need funds for blankets and clothes, because winter is here and nights in Gaza are very cold right now.
Elham's campaign is very low on funds! So far they have only been able to raise £594 and they desperately need more support. Please donate to them if you are able, and share this post and campaign with as many people as you can.
This campaign was verified by the Butterfly Effect Project (instagram) and is number 1180 on their spreadsheet, which you can access through the link on their instagram profile.

Secondly, @drdarine is a young woman who is a medical student in Gaza. Despite being displaced and suffering hardships we can only imagine, Darine is continuing her studies and helping out others in the refugee camps and shelters in southern Gaza.
Her family consists of seven people, one of them being my friend @dawoudi who is selflessly and unfailingly helping many other families in Gaza by verifying their fundraisers and promoting them on Tumblr. Everyday I see more campaigns added that he has verified, providing an important service to the many families in Gaza that need our help.
Darine's family has been fundraising since February, which is almost ten months! Despite that, they have only been able to raise $5,765, 19% of their goal. Progress on their campaign is extremely slow, often needing to wait multiple days for another donation to come in. We can do better than that.
This campaign was vetted by @gazavetters, and is number 15 on their spreadsheet, which you can find in the pinned post on their profile.

I haven’t been really active lately but I came across something I wanted to share.
It’s a free language learning app called Lingo Legend, and I’m honestly a bit surprised by how much I’m enjoying it.
It’s basically just a vocab game where you’re a farmhand. The game is split between working on your farm and going on adventures.
You can choose what theme of vocab — though it doesn’t seem to be possible to put in your own — and set the pace you wish to play. There’s a daily energy limit, which you can refill by watching ads but there are no ad interruptions.
Supported languages are:
French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Dutch, German, Italian and Portuguese.
Maybe I’m just late to the party and everyone already knows about it but I rarely see it talked about.
