My girlfriend spent two weeks editing together every time Kirk says “Spock” throughout the entire original series and films.

Ye gads. 😄

Really useful video if you’re trying to describe what an open back unrounded vowel sounds like.

I’d reblogged this post just moments after I started watching the video, but as I kept watching I realized Shatner was swapping between open back unrounded vowel and open back rounded vowel.

“That sounds like the difference between Canadian English and American English,” I thought. “He’ll sound more American but then he’ll drift back to Canadian. I wonder if there’s anything to read about the ɑ (open back unrounded) and ɒ (open back rounded) difference between dialects.”

Turns out the Government of Canada has a page about this.

If you use the youtube auto generated subtitles on the video it often interprets “Spock” as “Spark” but there are clearly times when it distinguishes between the two.

I don’t think we talk enough about how often Nazi book burnings get mentioned and how few people know what the first one was about.

I saw this picture (or a similar one) in a book when I was in third grade. Roughly two decades later, I learned that the books being burned were looted from the library at The Institut für Sexualwissenschaft in Berlin, explicitly because the institute was helping people medically transition. You can surprise 100% of cis people by explaining that we’ve had HRT and gender-affirming surgery longer than nuclear bombs. and that makes me so fucking angry.

spotlighting these tags because I’ve gotten yet another instance of this. I saw this picture while learning about how much Nazis hated Jewish people. I did not learn how much they hated trans people. This is not your moment to go “um, actually”. shut the fuck up.

you cannot Kill This Specific Rich Asshole your way into socialism, not because Killing Is Wrong or whatever the fuck but because it simply will not work. if you do not fundamentally change the conditions which generate Specific Rich Assholes, the system will continue to produce Specific Rich Assholes as fast as you can kill them. You cannot Kill Jeff Bezos your way out of capitalism. You must dismantle the economic conditions which produce capitalist class rule.
