The past two days I’ve been learning how to use Live2D
In which I’ve discovered that hair has gravity and faces are attached to our necks
(Model parts were from a textbook)

Anyone else prefer the sound of "acearo" to "aroace"?
I know that the more common one is aroace for reasons potentially having to do with its etymology, but I feel like I'd come to the former if I were given the two words without context and told to put them together

If you'd like to take a student's survey on attitudes to accents, one of ours has one right here: universityofkent.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
You'll need to have spent most of your childhood in the UK to be eligible. #linguistics

in other news I assumed I had to do the entire lab section of my textbook but it turns out I only had to do sections of it
...which I learned after having spent like 12+ hours on the first 2 labs

Update: It's readable, but I think I ought to invest more in the math skill tree

I think Chants of Sennaar (from the games section) is very fun! Played it a while ago and got up to the Laboratories before getting stuck. The language of the Gardens sort of reminds me of Japanese
I’ve heard Heaven’s Vault is similar but I haven’t played it yet

I want to see if I can convince my uninterested-in-linguistics friends to take it
They have strong opinions on the aesthetics of languages’ phonology for some reason

About my bsky-picture: Simon Heinrich Adolf Herling (1780-1849) laid the groundwork for *Periodenbilder* in 1823. In a textbook from 1828 he used a music-score for the analysis of clausal subordination. This idea recurs throughout the 19thC in Germany. #linguistics

Here’s another language challenge for you!
1. A language you studied but have mostly forgotten
2. A language you find most melodic
3. A language you wish you learned as a kid
4. A language that feels like home (besides your native one)
5. A language you'd love to teach someone someday
