Hitching Post
Friday, 28 August 2020 12:30 amThe week of August 21st to August 28th [2020]:
I shared the link to an AUREA article about singlism, and I tried something new by leaving a preview of the comments in the edited body of the post instead of just an initial reaction by me. I'm not sure I'll do that again, tbh.
If US theatre implements one of the demands of We See You White American Theater (WSYWAT) - eliminating 10 out of 12s - I'll probably experience another emotion in the comments section.
Anarchism Com - Spreading some social media stuff for Running Down The Walls 2020. (The date isn't fixed from one year to the next, and this year it's on September 6th.)
Comments:
Siggy shared an explanation of Roko's basilisk here. I still think that Roko's basilisk actually sounds like a better basilisk (or lizard) species name.
Coy - Has anyone heard of a new site called Sweet? Comment: Some of it sounds nice in theory, but I don't think I'm rushing there.
Lou has some thoughts on generational slang. Personally, I've found that site specific slang fits more than some hazy generational thing because there's usually some degree of intergenerational usage of a site.
Sennkestra shared a red rainbow, which is not something I'd heard of before.
Potentially of interest:
Siggy inquired into what exactly is meant by GNC/gender non-conforming.
Kate's submission for Open Questions for Aromantic Research.
{ETA: Pillowfort post about this. The rest of the links still go offsite.} The Scots Wiki controversy.
An American teen with no knowledge of Scots managed to edit (or write and mangle) approximately one third of the wiki articles in Scots. According to this article, the person began editing articles at the age of 12 (currently 19) and has poorly written 20,000 articles and made edits to 200,000. This article explicitly lists the user and explains a bit more on how this person managed to do so much damage.
