"let’s put aside
today’s work
and dance to
the wind’s port-a-beul
‘gaelic is alive’
despite all arrows
she climbs the hillside
sapling of oak in her arms
her defiant eyes
reaching the far-off horizon
she aims for the far-off horizon
a bright lasting star in her breast
defend her from too bold a leap
but be dancing be dancing
it is work to be dancing"

In our era of #capitalism and efficiency, #language is often reduced to strings of words that one repeats. This is language without meaning and it is dangerous. Words alone do not say how things are and how they could be.
Be radical. Mean it.

The same pattern is universally found across human languages bit also occurs in #whale song.
This complex signaling system, like human language, is culturally learned by each individual from others.

Whalesong patterns follow a universal law of human language, new research finds
All known human languages display a surprising pattern: the most frequent word in a language is twice as frequent as the second most frequent, three times as frequent as the third, and so on. This is known as Zipf's law.Jenny Allen (Phys.org)

When one tries to come up with alternate terms for what one *really* finds offensive about someone when one is really not trying to be ableist, racist, sexist, homophobic, classist, etc...it can be a struggle. #Language
Something I noticed about languages, esp when I started picking up books about insults & swearwords in other languages, is that they crystalize what the culture most prizes and most abhors. Or at least did some time in the past.
It says something about English that so many of our insult words have to do with disability #Language #Ableism
NESFab has some smart features developers of NES games will certainly appreciate, most notably automatic bank switching. Instead of doing this manually, but NESFab will automatically carve your code and data up into banks to be switched in and out of memory when needed.

![“NESFab is a new programming language for creating NES games. Designed with 8-bit limitations in mind, the language is more ergonomic to use than C, while also producing faster assembly code. It’s easy to get started with, and has a useful set of libraries for making your first (or hundredth) NES game.”
There’s also an optional map editor, which makes it very easy to create additional levels for your game. All in all, a very cool project I hadn’t heard of, which also claims to perform better than other compilers.

'When Eve Laughed: The origins of language'
"Why, out of 220 primate species, are we the only one which talks? Laughter, too, is unique to our species. Although different from language, collective, contagious laughter may have set the scene for words + grammar to evolve by establishing the necessary bonds of trust. In addition to the latest archaeological research, this talk will draw on hunter-gatherer studies to show how men learn to communicate with birds and beasts and how women use laughter as a levelling device."
