I need to figure out how to backup my photos... they're on my phone, but the cable thing on my phone is breaking and I don't trust it for transferring files

@NicoleTheLizard@queer.af it's apparently pronounced similarly to the vowel in Swedish "nöt"

(but not the same as "nött")

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-mi

@NicoleTheLizard@queer.af depends on the language you're trying to pronounce

linguistics, the less funny explanation 

of course this actually makes sense - it's a standard for writing only:

"The government does not regulate spoken Bokmål and recommends that normalised pronunciation should follow the phonology of the speaker's local dialect."

So Bokmål is "officially" pronounced the way you would pronounce it.(usually [ˈbuːkmɔːl] according to wikipedia)

Furry art 

I always forget I have an enby hyena ghost names Ix
Someone to Ix: are you a boy or a girl?
Ix: IM DEAD! *snickers endlessly until they leave*
They’re cute and I love them.

@iliana I want to audit my followers too, but the UX for it is so frustrating and difficult

linguistics, something I found funny 

"Bokmål (literally "book tongue") is an official written standard for the Norwegian language, alongside Nynorsk. Unlike for instance the Italian language, there is no nationwide standard or agreement on the pronunciation of Bokmål."

I can't believe there's a standard for a language.... that has no standard for the pronunciation of its own name
