🎶 NEW BLOG: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑱𝒐𝒚𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑽𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏🔖 notisnet.org/Blog/13556878 🎶

This week on 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑁𝑜𝑟𝑡ℎ𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝐿𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑢𝑖𝑠𝑡, we’re featuring an article by 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻-𝗛𝗶𝗹𝗹, of Vancouver, WA, who translates songs and poems into English from German, Hungarian, Romanian, and Russian! 🤹‍♂️ #xl8 #NOTIS
Gryllus Vilmos 'Maszkabal' album cover. Primary green background, quirky and colorful hand-drawn lettering, Gryllus in foreground, bottom left, smiling with guitar while a cartoon stave, filled with musical notes and cartoon characters, pours out of the guitar... Little Cow 'I'm in Love with Every Lady" album cover features hand-drawn bedroom scene; blonde lady lies on bed, eyes closed, as a man in a suit stands over her with a hand saw held to her abdomen. A second man with tentacles or algae coming out of his head stands in the background with his hands open and facing inward as if mid-clap. Book cover for 'Experiments in Romanian Art Since 1960.' Lettering in shock red (for "Experiments") and muted grey is centered and runs vertically, bottom to top, over a black and white image only partially visible in the center, behind the words. To the left, a distressed beige column; to the right, a black column.

Fascinating! I wonder in how many languages the word for “umbrella” is a compound of two words or roots that define its function, such as the Spanish "paraguas" ("stop" + "rain") and the Portuguese "guarda-chuva" (protect against + rain). "Pluie" is "rain" in French, yes? But "para"? From Latin?
erikhansson.bsky.social Erik Hansson @erikhansson.bsky.social · Oct 1
Swedish word of the day #swotd is paraply (umbrella), from French parapluie. There are plenty of French loanwords as French was a status marker for the Swedish elite especially during the 18th century, often in areas such as culture, fashion, and food.

L'artiste #Banksy a peint une fresque sur la Haute Cour de Londres représentant un juge frappant un manifestant, présumée être une réponse aux récentes arrestations de centaines de manifestants soutenant le groupe #Palestine Action. Mais les autorités ont déjà camouflé l'oeuvre.

“We were here. We loved, we mourned, we thought. We built language from ruin, shaped stories from ash, and held onto memory even as it slipped through our hands like water.

And when the world finally turns the page—if it ever does—let it not say that Gaza was silent.”

So leave.
But leave to where?
The roads are closed,
The sea is locked,
The sky is a border drawn in fire.
You say, leave to yourself,
But where is the self
When the pieces have been scattered?
