"There are other capable progressives weighing a run in 2028," writes @sunraysunray.bsky.social. "However, none of them can do the two things AOC can do at once: run a serious national campaign as one of the most recognized figures in the country, and pull an entire movement into being behind it."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should run for president | Bhaskar Sunkara

The congresswoman can run a serious national campaign on the left and pull a movement in behind it. She should get in early

Snagged this from FB. This may make some people uncomfortable but I think it highlights just how far we've come from what's natural, from our relationship to the Earth that sustains us and our beautiful relatives we share it with.

According to my headcannon, Tolkein’s orcs were not only created by torture, but different tortures were done at different times, to different groups of elves. This produced different clans of orcs, which developed into goblins, uruks, common orcs, trolls, and lastly, the Rend #conlang #artlang

Takad indicates tenses using phrases after the subject and before the verb. Min dekana a (I see it); min, pa bas, dekana a (I, before, see it - I saw it); min, pa samin, dekana a (I, later, see it - I will see it) #conlang #auxlang

Rend is derived from Quenya. Tolkein wrote of a dialect called Hwendi, so I started with that qu to hw sound change and further mutated it to the “French/German R” (voiced uvular fricative). A full consonant shift law developed, partly influenced by Grimms Law, then a vowel shift also #conlang

Rend is a language I made, as basically a fanfic in Tolkien’s universe. My idea was that some orcs retained their language and some oral history, in a mangled form. Tolkien’s orc languages were meant to be as messed up as possible. In contrast, Rend is mainly just an alternate Sindarin #conlang

"In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

So 3 supreme court justices would let a president repeal a constitutional amendment by executive order how is that not grounds for impeachment they swore an oath to uphold that very same document

Envaloh nouns must be declined for number. Numbers are entirely contained in these suffixes. My son (5) made this language, btw. Zero to five: -(‘)og, -yog, -zog, -sk, -p, -m. Eidog= nobody; eidzog=a person. Several, few, many:-ohpa, -upohk, -ohka. Eidohpa: several people #conlang #artlang

Takad word order is Subject-Object-Verb. . A root or base word can often be used either as a noun or verb interchangeably. Adding the suffix-ni gives an adjective or adverb. For example, dekana (sight, eye, to see) can become dekanani (sighted, visual) #conlang

I created Takad language not by simply putting words from different languages together, like next to each other, but by fusing words together. Portmanteaus, frankenwords, if you will. If people’s brains latch on to familiar sound-meaning associations, they can learn faster, yeah? #conlang #auxlang
