I grit my teeth and read the entire executive order regarding trans people, and I just want to take the opportunity to remind folks not to forget intersex people. One of the rescinded documents is “Supporting Intersex Students: A Resource for Students, Families, and Educators," and there is a huge emphasis on legally enshrining "only two sexes."

Yes, this affects trans people, but with the way intersex voices often get ignored in trans spaces, I just want to remind folks not to shut us out. Don't forget us. Don't keep talking over us. Don't act like we aren't on the front lines. Don't act like this is just about you. Please.

sign language & linguistics resource!

linguist Adam Schembri has been updating his amazing resource, What All Linguists Should Know (about sign languages). It's a really fantastic repository of info, including some really great basics that are great for students and non-linguists as well. Please share widely! I'll also copy a few links from his page, just as highlights:

What is sign language? (Schembri, 2013) https://theconversation.com/explainer-what-is-sign-language-21453 

How many sign languages are there? (Glottolog) https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/sign1238 (short answer: at least 220)

How are sign languages acquired? (Lillo-Martin & Henner, 2021) https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-linguistics-043020-092357

I recommend that anyone interested in or studying linguistics at any level (from hobbyist to professional!) ask themselves (and colleagues, instructors, students, etc), frequently: wait - is that true about languages in general, or just spoken languages? Have we done any research about how this works in other modalities? Keep asking the question!

Curious as to just how many people have watched this fandom juggernaut

Ok actually I have some more Heart Killers textposts

There is that Tumblr post about how sport fans would do so well in the Korean idols arena since both groups of people fight for their faves and support them in various ways, and I think FC Soldout read that post and wrote an entire premise around it.

Korea is wild for this!

It had me at "Striker"

This show came out of nowhere, and I am THRILLED to have it!

For me, what gets me more than this:

Is Style's reaction to seeing it:

He's stunned at Fadel's smile. I don't think any part of him expected to see that look on Fadel's face in that moment. It does so many things to my heart.

And, just because, here's the smile that Fadel gives when Style looks his way:

That man is so in love and, in the face of two people overcoming betrayal to love each other enough to marry, he can't help but let the tiniest bit of hope into his heart.

The episode has left me with more questions than answers.

Cir is clearly fucked mentally. There's some trauma there that has deeply affected his personality and the way he interacts with people (classic Mame, gotta appreciate the consistency with that lmao).

What is his trauma and how does his mother/family play a part. What were those visions of Phu/himself? What is the truth that he is hiding?

— Phu, basically

It seems like Sangmin is taking part in some kind of medical research? But for what??

I find it interesting that Dinneaw said "This isn't medicine for migraines, is it?" How would he know, it could be trial drugs for migraines. Nevertheless, it does seem to help Sangmin's headache.

I need more information. They better expand upon this a lot in the next episode. It definitely has to do with why Sangmin is in Thailand. Not the plot I saw coming, but I'm curious.
