Ngl I keep thinking about your Ride Kamens comic where the green haired guy is brought back to reality when MC reminds him it's a front and he's all sad after he did all that work. And the only thing coming to mind is how the special name should be "Trois for Moi" to keep in with the French name game and the rhyming. I don't even play this game but I've been thinking about this all week

I. did think of "Trois for Toi" after I posted it. :') but uhhhhh leave Leon alone HE'S DOING HIS BEST OKAY

France is banning the abaya, which is a loose-fitting dress worn by Muslim women (among other groups of women), in public schools. They claim the dress is an affront to French secularism even though it's not even a religious garment – it's a cultural garment that resembles pretty much any loose-fitting modest dress.

I can't possibly spell out for you how discriminatory and backward this is for a "modern, democratic" nation like France. Muslim women deserve more humane treatment and respect than this – being forced to undress more than they're comfortable with.

I'm enlisting Tumblr for help expanding a playlist of mine on Spotify.

It's called "No English, Just Vibes" and the only rule is...right there in the title. But right now it's a little heavy on like, three artists in particular, and on just a couple languages.

Here's where you come in! Tell me your favorite songs that aren't in English. While I prefer rock, I'm polyjamorous and will take anything into consideration.

Playlist below for anyone who wants the existing vibes to see what we're working with.

(When I queued this, I didn't realize it would be Wrapped day, so honestly this is perfect, please tell me your songs)

     If there’s one style of music that manages to go woefully underrepresented on my page, it’s any variation of hip-hop. Well, that and mainstream modern country, and I guaran-damn-tee you’ll NEVER see any of that shit on my page. So, for the next few weeks I would like to focus specifically on deejays, hip hop and trap music. Let’s begin with something of a solo act that hails from France of all places, Soudiere. This French deejay took me completely by surprise recently with his phonk; that being rap vocals on top of chopped and screwed classic hip hop with some light elements of jazz, funk and experimental pop to create a sound you’ll rarely hear outside of a Memphis, Tennessee dance club circa the 1980’s. Often dark in both lyrics and tone, this style of hip hop centers on double and triple time flows, digital snares and booming sub-bass that accentuates Southern-style east coast American hip hop. It’s curious that a fella from Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, who is as white as the driven snow, would or could formulate beats this intense. But you gotta follow your passions, and Soudiere had been listening to trap music since his late teens until he decided to try and create his own soundscapes in his twenties which are largely samples from resources all over the internet and vocalized by gifted lyricists he has met on Soundcloud over the years. I really couldn’t find much additional information on this talent, other than a scant interview here or there that shed light on him being from cities where the music scene is basically dead, he’s a huge cartoon fan, and he just wants to make you dance. So, do yourself a favor dear listener; crank the volume, smash play, and chill out to a tune you’ll likely come across once in a red moon. This is Trap Scholar from 2018’s Young Pirelli, Vol. 5. More exciting hip-hop next week... with a bit of a refreshing vaporwave twist!

They don’t come more talented and/or underground than this in modern music, folks. Image source: https://twitter.com/youngpirelli?lang=en

cause me for a second about to screech incoherently to the void

OKAY so going back over I found the guides I like for Old English pronunciations because I'm not good at it and can never remember how to pronounce things. So on the poll I was gushing in tags about where the word orange came from. In Old English we just used yellow-red or red-yellow, or technically the word was "geoluread." In today's English there's a few ways it could be read. "Geo" would likely use a "j" soundish like "geology." "Lu" and "luh" are fairly similar in modern and old English so just "uh" like "put." "Read" could be "red" or "reed."

SO I'm probably butchering how I say things (like I said still practicing) and explaining but this ramble is for fun so 'tis fine. I think the "eo" would be considered a front vowel so the "g" is said similarly to our "y" sound is "yes." "Eo" is better explained by this specific area of the website I'm on right now (lots I'll just between but this one has examples) as "like the 'e' in bed gliding to the 'o' in 'cough'" so "eh-aw" almost? Or the "aw" and "ough" in "awesome" and "cough" are identical in my accent (Texan accents do that fairly often.) Then of course the "luh" sound, and then "ea" is described as "ai" in fail. I saw fail differently from the speaker but from other descriptions and guides it seems similar to "ey-ah." Not exactly but I suck st describing things.

Y'all. "Geoluread" put together ("g" "eo" "lu" "read"). The best I can visualize it is "yeh-oh" "luh" "rey-ahd"

When we say yellow or at least the way I've grown up talking there's the slightest hint of an "o" between "eh" and "l." Just from how your move your mouth (same reason what did you becomes didja and what you becomes whatcha." Voicing the "o" in "eol" snf NOT voicing it has your mouth move almost the exact same way.

Geoluread is spelled so strangely to me but it's LITERALLY JUST YELLOW RED. IT'S THE SAME THING AS IT WAS IN THE 11TH CENTURY LMAO

And this also is cool to me (I am bored in class with nothing to do have been typing for well over ten minutes about a fruit word) is English has evolved a LOT but spelling and lexicon seem to have changed a lot more than pronunciation from Old English. This word is hard for me to pronounce because (and true for a lot of Old English words) the vowels have you holding your tongue a lot further back than speaking Modern English. That's a fun quirk I like about today's English—compared to a lot of similar languages (I.e. Spanish and French I believe? Been a bit since I've looked into this) we have a tongues naturally resting a lot higher (on roof of mouth vs bottom). And Modern English seems to pronounce sounds with the tongue closer to or touching the teeth than Old English does. I know of the Great Vowel Shift so I'm wondering if that whole 15-16th century language drama was the cause? I have done research on it but I don't have IPA Symbols memorized yet so it's hard to tell what the shift was responsible for and what is just the passage of time changing things.

So this is what I do if I get bored enough at school apparently. Lose my mind over pronunciations of words centuries ago because I saw one (1) poll about whether orange the color or orange the fruit came first (it was the fruit. Wasn't until Margaret Tudor around a century later I think that it was recorded to describe a color.)
