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)
We just passed the halfway point of our fundraising goal for Banned Books Back! Moms for Liberty, eat your hearts out! 😏
To recap, our collective received a serendipitous donation of children's books that had been removed from Florida schools as part of an ongoing effort to censor titles depicting queer joy, civil rights history, immigrant stories, and more. Right now, our collective is harboring dozens of boxes of these "dangerous" titles — but not for long. Later this month, we'll be calling on our local community to help package bundles and send these Banned Books... Back!
Thank you so much to the folks who have boosted this effort, including but not limited to Autostraddle, The Washington Post, LGBTQ Nation, so many rad bookseller buddies, and the 270+ folks who've donated. 💓

Using #language to counter bias favoring masculine-specific representations:
• gender-unmarked forms (neutralization strategy, e.g., “l'enfant”) are not fully effective in neutralizing the masculine bias.
• contracted double forms (re-feminization strategy, e.g., “un·e enfant”) are more effective in promoting gender balance compared to gender-unmarked forms.
Love is not supposed to be beautiful. It’s supposed to be a raw, gritty struggle that forces you to face the most vulnerable parts of yourself, so that when the good times come, you can savor and enjoy them, fully appreciate what they’re worth. Otherwise, you take it all for granted. —Lana Myers
