Friends I still can't find a safe home, I have had to go to a local shelter to be safe, but I am having a very bad time here since there are many people who hate transgender people and I have had many problems, please could you help me ?
@itchi5 Depends on your country, the laws and what happens exactly. If you have a publisher, normally it's their work to instruct a lawyer. Large publishing houses even have their department for this.
Even if you have published the print at your own expense, you will not be able to avoid a lawyer. Professional organisations can sometimes help with the costs.
Perhaps @writers or @law can help you more.
None of these people exist, but you can buy their books on Amazon anyway. Here's an article on Amazon authors with GAN-generated faces and the books these authors publish (which appear to be almost entirely devoid of original human-created content).
The Assam Rifles (AR) outpost army people going about their usual morning drill. It's right in the heart of AIzawl - think of having an Army outpost in Connaught Place, Delhi - so political parties have always campaigned for its removal during elections. One doesn't need to be a rocket scientist as to why Mizos don't like them being in this location. Example promise: Assam Rifles battalion to be shifted from Aizawl - March, 2023 TOI link. Not everyone agrees with that "Friends of the the Northeast people" slogan, for obvious reasons.
That cannon also has a fascinating story. Someone noticed that the one from the British era was quietly replaced with a 'fake' one. Rumor was that the AR commandant 'took it with him' to his next posting (Nagaland IIRC). People were obviously furious. @histodon@mastodonindians
Je n'aurais pas qualifié les variantes de [t/d] de "tic", les titres nous échappent complètement lors d'une interview ; mais voilà un bref article issu d'un entretien avec une journaliste pour donner envie, peut-être, d'en savoir plus en sociophonétique!
«Amandjine mange à la cantchine» : l’affrication, nouveau tchic de langage des ados
[accès payant, disponible sur Europresse et autres bouquets de presse]
Précisions importantes, je regroupe ici des réponses à des réactions, notamment des réactions postées sur le réseau de l'oiseau puant, mais comme l'article est en accès restreint ce sera utile ⤵️
affrication = processus phonétique ancien typique des langues romanes, vient de bruit friction en lieu d'explosion. Aucun lien avec l'Afrique 🙄 c'est par ce mécanisme que "c" de caballus latin est devenu "tche" et ensuite "ch" dans cheval
#haaretz / Holocaust Researchers to Yad Vashem: Condemn the Public Discourse in Israel Calling for Genocide
[…] About 50 Holocaust researchers from Israel and abroad, whostudy the Holocaust and genocide, appealed today (Wednesday) to the chairman of Yad Vashem, Danny Dayan, demanding that he voice "an unambiguous moral opinion" condemning "the public discourse calling for destruction and the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza."
[…] The letter is signed by researchers from Tel Aviv University, Hebrew University, Haifa University, and Ben Gurion University, including Eva Illouz, Daniel Blatman, Omer Bartov, Rivka Brot, Amos Goldberg, Ariel Hirschfeld, Yehiam Weitz, Moshe Zimmerman, Moshe Zuckerman, Dalia Ofer, and Avraham Ronen.
The fact that Yad Vashem has been quite so far says everything.
50 Holocaust Researchers Ask Yad Vashem to Condemn Israeli Public Discourse Calling for Genocide in Gaza
The 'incitement to extermination' heard in the words of Israeli officials and personalities 'can reach the stage of genocide,' the researches say. They're calling on Yad Vashem to learn from the lessons of the Holocaust
What I miss most in mastodon is that people don't showcase many of their recent articles and discoveries compared to X. Yet, it is a fun and effective way of keeping my reading up to date. Does anyone have a trick to get around this?
Utah legislators want to pass a new law by claiming librarians are distributing porn and they want librarians to be rounded up and sent to jail for having books like “The Bluest Eye” and “Forever”
That’s actually pretty awesome. Bluetooth speakers are getting to the point where new features aren’t really being released, so features like this actually helps a brand stand apart.
Really great interview with Jodie Foster in The Guardian!
"There’s something Hugh Grant said [..]: that the fame thing at a young age is like being shot up with steroids and you live with those big muscles your whole life, and then, one day, you make the decision that there are no more steroids. And you don’t recognise yourself and have no idea who you are. And you have to rebuild an entire identity. That can be difficult, and [..] I had to learn late.” https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/jan/06/jodie-foster-interview-true-detective
... and what do you think about the above interview, @actuallyautistic?
Jodie Foster:
“I’m not a multitasker. I’m a weird focused person. If there’s a spectrum, that’s my spectrum. It doesn’t matter if there are planes going by or if someone is calling my name, if I’m focused on something. I’m really good at going, no thank you, I’m not doing that.”
My radar was having hiccups so intense were my feelings while reading this...
#OnThisDay, January 6, in 1994, U.S. Figure Skating Champion Nancy Kerrigan was bludgeoned with a police baton on her right lower thigh by an assailant hired by the husband of her rival, Tonya Harding (depicted in I, Tonya, 2017, starring Margot Robbie)
