language hot take 

If you're gonna propose writing english with runes, for fuck's sake, at least use the anglo-saxon runes. They're more fit for purpose on the basis of being, well, part of the english lineage.

This reminds me that I should:
A) write a blog post on a proposed system for modernizing Anglo-Saxon runes, and
B) get around to releasing the Ibus-table file I made for Anglo-Saxon runes (as well as reinstalling it on my system)

(And/or, optionally C: rewrite that file as a .mim file instead of using an IME meant for a Chinese-like language)

To translate my last toot:
"HAHA! I have my runic keyboard again!"

There it is in the Ibus configuration:
English - ᚠᚢᛏᚩᚱᚳ ᚱᚢᚾᛋ

A quick apology to those who use screen readers for the last few posts. As far as I'm aware, most screen readers can't read runes, so my apologies for those.
