Another 3 vols. (110-112) of the journal Acta Asiatica went online today, meaning that after almost a decade my paper on "Foreign Sources on the History of the Japanese Language" (2016) is finally accessible online: doi.org/10.69382/act... 🙏
Make sure to check out the other contributions as well!

Several years ago, we put a whole bunch of data from a project into Wikidata. Now, as a result, some people who we had no more info for aside from a name or could not disambiguate are actually identifiable. LOD FTW.

ZOMG LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SHALE
Okay, so the Burgess Shale is a fossil bed in British Columbia that contains a whole bunch of fossils of weirdass creatures from the Cambrian era, over 500 million years ago. But the great thing about the shale is that it has fossilized SOFT PARTS!

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.
