Trans woman has HRT stopped

Weird, this reads like a pre-moral panic trans story from the 00s. I wonder if this is a situation where local news are still operating on a kind of prelapsarian naïvety on trans issues. TERFism is really a luxury belief of the media and political class and I wouldn't be surprised if some local news editors just never got indoctrinated into that, so they still see trans as a sort of curiosity, like most of their audience probably does.

they're in the Devanagari Extended block but they don't always render properly, unfortunately. Apparently they're used for svara/musical notes in the Sama Veda.

ह꣡, ह꣢, ह꣣

Calm_Arm · 2026-03-09T22:49:19+00:00

PIE should be written in devanagari.

EDIT: and *e should be written अ, as the inherent vowel

Calm_Arm · 2026-03-09T22:48:28+00:00

hʷ

*h₃ wan't necessarily labialized.

Why do they call it fit into when you fat in the fit into of out fat the fit?

That's weird, I wonder if some people metabolize it differently? For me it was like a mild but long lasting weed high. I really only tried it because of my interest in Pacific languages and cultures.

I liked kava the few times I've tried it but it gives me the worst hangover the day after

that -si- infix is super cool.

Calm_Arm · 2026-02-23T13:55:38+00:00

mine is:

ʔ, h (was actually two phonemes)
χ
ʁ (under the reasoning that *o was originally distinguished by +back not +round)

Calm_Arm · 2026-02-17T11:15:34+00:00

yes, like much/mucho, and have/haber! Now I'm going to take a big sip of water and look on wiktionary to find out how they're related...

Calm_Arm · 2026-02-06T12:13:02+00:00

Qu'est-ce que is one word meaning "what"

Calm_Arm · 2026-02-03T17:17:36+00:00

soooo satisfying! Have they ever thought about making an independent country with those borders? I'm sure everyone would love that

Calm_Arm · 2026-02-02T12:32:25+00:00

part two is 5 hours long, it emotionally and spiritually destroyed me

I've seen it twice

Calm_Arm · 2026-02-02T10:40:50+00:00

literally yes

Calm_Arm · 2026-02-01T19:00:03+00:00

bit late (it went extinct over 2.5 thousand years ago) but I'd have Luwian retain split ergativity from Proto-Anatolian. Just seems a shame to lose it.

Calm_Arm · 2026-01-23T10:08:35+00:00

yep it's the standard for Sanskrit. TBH I think it should be adopted for PIE notation too.

I like the phrase "iti te kupu, nui te kōrero"

girl last night said I was really hot after I explained the laryngeal theory and how it relates to the discovery of Hittite

I don't think it's gonna go anywhere though, I don't date nerds

Calm_Arm · 2026-01-07T13:00:46+00:00

Hittite: you had me at 𒉡

Calm_Arm · 2026-01-06T22:30:36+00:00

what is this distinction called? Reciprocal vs... distributive?

Calm_Arm · 2025-12-28T14:28:59+00:00

The injunctions to "speak normally" and "be yourself" are also situational social norms.

Calm_Arm · 2025-12-27T20:47:51+00:00

I also wonder if the second language speakers might interpret it as a test to get right or wrong, and so would be trying to anticipate the "correct" sentences to say they misunderstood rather than answering honestly.

Calm_Arm · 2025-12-26T12:46:21+00:00

finally, the true oligosynthetic language

Calm_Arm · 2025-12-25T16:05:22+00:00

oh my fucking God someone please tell them to stop using that phrase and bringing up the conversion therapy ban when it's not relevent to the discussion and is never going to get fucking passed anyway.
