That escalated somewhat moderately.

Preferably both. But if I have to choose only one, definitely night. Keeps the bed clean, and helps me sleep a bit better.

I for one am deeply offended by this post. Deeply offended. It has ruined my day. I am now crying.

A Coat

By William Butler Yeats

I made my song a coat

Covered with embroideries

Out of old mythologies

From heel to throat;

But the fools caught it,

Wore it in the world’s eyes

As though they’d wrought it.

Song, let them take it

For there’s more enterprise

In walking naked.

For me, it’s a constant question of: does the good of this person make up for the bad. I think that’s fair. I don’t expect anyone to be perfect, but I can’t enjoy art made by someone whose misdeeds/horrible ideology overshadow the greatness of the art.

It might be worthwhile looking at alternatives like Fluxer or Matrix.

No one conversed with me there anyway haha. I found it to be such an unwelcoming place. And the data leaks and age verification crap as well - I hope there’s a decent alternative somewhere because I miss chatting with people.

Not using a VPN.

Android, using Waterfox.

I did this, and Discord suddenly had a problem allowing me to access my password, change my password, or do anything that leads to deleting the account. Maybe I have to get myself banned or something?

Stop staring at me.

SwiftKey has Coptic.

Mastodon has a lot of writing prompt posts, especially if you like poetry and shorter bits of writing.

Mostly I fall asleep to Alan Watts, Charles Bukowski (read by someone with a better voice haha), sometimes a reading of Khalil Gibran’s The Prophet. When I get bored with those, I try radio stations, just whatever one interests me at the moment. Sometimes I’ll listen to the “learn [language] while you sleep” videos, just as a goof.

That simplifies things, because it gives you some room to “force” certain pairs. You could for example shoehorn the short vowels qualities into cardinal /i e æ/ vs. /u o ɒ/, or a similar system, so the opposition becomes apparent.

Yeah that’s the kinda thing I was thinking of re: vowels. I don’t know exactly what I want from the vowels, but it’s something like that.

Which English dialect or standard are you using as a basis?

Well, it’s a goofy baby-talk cipher, so I’m inclined to be pretty flexible with this.

You could do it based on the furthest in the mouth, then you’d get binary vs. velar… and the alveolars are left unchanged.

I thought of that… I just think it would get too messy if I tried to be precise with this method. Maybe I just need another method.

You seem to get what I’m saying about the vowels… except for another detail I didn’t mention. I was thinking of altering the vowels to sound like baby-talk, sort of. An example that doesn’t fit the specifics but illustrates my point would be the word “hello” sounding something like /i’lø:/. But more oppositional or at least more creative in which phoneme replaces which.

As for consonants, I mean which consonant phoneme would be furtherst from /m/, or /r/, or whatever. Like, the opposite of bilabial, maybe.

I grow it. The high is similar to cannabis, but not as strong (I can’t handle cannabis). The leaf is mainly relaxing, and the petals can sometimes give a stronger high.
