I enjoy languages and linguistics, if you do too maybe check out Lingthusiasm
Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects
So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social?
And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

Actually my favorite bird etymology is that in 1400s England they gave human nicknames to birds (Jenny Wren, Tom Tit) but some of them stuck. Jack Daw became Jackdaw, Maggie Pie became Magpie. With Robin Redbreast they just dropped the original name of the bird entirely.

I want to turn my feed into feel good eye bleach. I follow daily bunnies and weratedogs. Who else should I follow?

Sometimes it's hard going through life. But then I remember I can distract myself with Futurama, baseball, and learning Swedish.

Someone asked us on @lingthusiasm.bsky.social a few years ago whether/how synesthesia was a thing in signed languages and at the time there wasn't research about it that anyone on old twitter knew about but now there is this!

New favourite example of structural ambiguity, compound word edition
I know the intention is "woods queer," as in a combo of queerness and ecological living, but I can't help but parse it as "one who squees in the woods." Just a lil guy who's so excited to be in the forest.

Five people—three researchers and two test subjects—have just seen a color no human has ever seen before.

Neat take!
I invented a game. It’s called 4 x 3.
It’s like connections except that there are three words in each category, there are four categories, and one word is in all four categories.
Easy mode is when you know the special word. Hard is when you don’t.

Yeah not to be confused with cheese wizard, or fro mage
I love it now that I'm parsing it correctly. I had a language fail halfway through and ended up with "fake magician" and was thoroughly confused.

Recently found myself repeatedly using "them both" to refer unambiguously to two people who both use singular they and I regret to inform you that it's inevitably going to evolve into our new 3rd person dual pronoun, thembo
