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

tech complain 

@deem@dev.glitch.social wait, really?

I've got a few muted channels and they don't do notifications for me, I'm not sure why they still show for you

@RhiaCat @azushark I was confused about this until I remembered that seasons are in the wrong months in the Northern Hemisphere

Fursona talkin' (~) 

@RhiaCat that's really cool!

I've always admired Grayson's willingness to be soft and cute, because it's something I admire in masc people in real life

I'm really thinking mastodon.social should close new inscriptions for good.
Not because it's a bad instance, but because it's still used by too many people as the default entry point into the Fediverse. Also, with every now users, the human and financial cost of maintaining it keeps growing and it really takes a toll on the project's resources.

@MochiWaifu that's a thing I wonder too – I used to see these fonts on people's screenshots and go "wow that's cool"

then install it and use it for 2 minutes before having to uninstall it

slur related question 

@soft_chomps@glitch.social ah, I've heard that like.... thrice

slur related question 

@soft_chomps@glitch.social I'm a native speaker and I've never heard it used in that sense.

(I've heard it used as onomatopeia, and I think that's ok because you're just imitating a sound)
