Passport Photo Series London-based visual artist Max Siedentopf recruited a cast of friends and strangers to sit for passport photos. Above the shoulders the participants are straight-faced and rigid, yet below they are balancing full wine glasses along their arms, taped to a wall, or even on fire.

Went to the farmer’s market yesterday. Hadn’t gone out in over a year. Guy selling mushrooms asked how I was doing. I panicked and did an awkward little shimmy dance at him. He wordlessly did it back. Can’t stop thinking about this interaction

The contrast between the Japanese and Spanish courses on Duolingo is a bit frustrating, because of the level of polish between the two is pretty stark. It’s like

Spanish: Speak this out loud to check your pronunciation! Good! Next… Okay, that was the wrong gender, let’s break that down! There you go!

Japanese: Wrong. Why? Fucking guess, asshole.

“Monolingualism and insularity still seem to be professionally acceptable in some circles in Britain, witness the following comment in a review of the translation into English of a linguistics textbook by the German linguist, Dieter Wunderlich, in the (British) Journal of Linguistics: ‘Cambridge University Press is to be commended for taking the trouble to commission a translation of a foreign book on linguistics, and it is to be hoped that more such ventures will make it easier for British readers to find out what their colleagues on the Continent are doing. (Sampson 1980:168) It is difficult to imagine the reverse - a Continental scholar waiting for books from the USA, Britain, or Germany to be translated into Danish, German, etc., in order to find out what their colleagues are doing.”

— Robert Phillipson, Linguistic Imperialism, 1992
