Hello. I’ve finally joined Bluesky. I’m a linguist and conlanger. I’ll probably talk about linguistics, conlangs, language in general, and post photos of the silversmithing I do. I have a wide variety of interests and I expect they’ll all pop here eventually.
Farewell.

It's Independent Bookstore Day, so remember that red states are pushing bills that would force booksellers to cover displays related to pride, hide books like "1984" and effectively ban "Banned Book" sections — all under the guise of protecting minors from "pornography"

I found a few notebooks I thought I’d lost years ago! They have many conlang notes and such inside. A real treasure for me, who thought an entire syllabary was lost to time. I have it back now.

Today I presented at the Conlang Adventure online event, hosted by Will Morton. I lead a basics of conlanging workshop and crowdsourced some *very* unique phonemic inventories :D

A Kílta word added a few years ago —
tukunaima /tukuˈnaɪ̯ma/ "informer, `snitch,'" literally "eye-mouth." The word "mouth" in Kílta is sometimes used in expressions for excessive talking.

Ever since #Lexember ended (in which conlangers create a new lexeme everyday of December), I’ve really missed my bite-sized conlanging session each day. I typically do it in larger chunks, but the more frequent approach was very fun. So I began doing a few little translations in my language Rílin.
