Hi all! I'm a trans woman and PhD student in linguistics at Stanford working on a project about voice feminization, one that I think might make a big splash. If you have feminized your voice, I would love to speak with you about the possibility of participating! You can reach me here or at lilyclifford@stanford.edu. Thanks!

Del sueño a la pesadilla: ¿qué ha pasado con las redes sociales?

Lo que fue ilusión y esperanza se ha transformado en frustración: las posturas críticas con las tecnologías digitales están en augeUno de los precursores de esta tendencia fue Jaron Lanier, que la defiende en Diez razones para borrar tus redes sociales de inmediato"¿Cómo se ha transformado el mundo para que sean estas las redes sociales que tenemos?", se pregunta el filósofo César Rendueles

It's Ada Lovelace Day!

Fun fact for those of you that don't know:
There is a programming language named after her. It's used mostly in life critical systems, because it is one of the safest languages to write code in. It's actually the language that I use at work.

Content warnings are simply not strong enough to protect me from myself

I'm really into #Interlinguistics and #conlangs: I'm a fluent speaker of #Esperanto (you can visit my account only in Esperanto: @persi) and a sporadic speaker of toki pona. I'm interested in #Láadan and #Quenya.

I love, looove, how German sounds and it's very likely that it would be my next language target.

I hope we can learn and practice together and have a really good time in between.

See ya!

Hello there, fellow language-lovers! Time for #introduction.

My name's Fay, but you can call me jan Pasi if you want (it's my name in #tokipona and I like it). I'm from the south of Spain and so a native #Spanish speaker. I speak #English so-so, as you see. I'm (re)learning #French and trying to get the #Korean alphabet so far (not the writing, of course, that's easy... I mean the differences between sounds!).

No es la Luna, es Venus en su fase creciente, vista en el horizonte oeste al atardecer. A 54 millones de kilómetros de distancia y con un 20% iluminada, la imagen fue tomada el 30 de septiembre en Rumania.

Su etapa como "estrella de la tarde" va llegando a su fin a medida que se aproxima a la conjunción inferior que tendrá lugar el 26 de octubre. Hacia finales de mes, la veremos aparecer antes que el Sol como una "estrella de la mañana" en el lado este.

Just found a document explaining how to encourage women in Linux.

Written in 2002, still perfectly valid in 2018.

Here's a fun TIL: Because the ratio of terms in the Fibonacci sequence approaches phi, and because phi is close to the ratio of km to miles, you can approximate conversion between distances with adjacent Fibonacci numbers.

So 2 km ≈ 1 mile, 3 km ≈ 2 miles, 5 km ≈ 3 miles, 8 km ≈ 5 miles, 13 km ≈ 8 miles, etc, etc

It's Bi Visibility Day!

:flag_bisexual: Spoil your friends who are attracted to more than one gender
:flag_bisexual: Challenge biphobia wherever you find it
:flag_bisexual: Be careful how you're using words like "straight" and "gay"; I promise you my marriage isn't straight even if it involves two people of different genders
:flag_bisexual: Show love and support to those of us for whom visibility isn't always possible, safe, or unconditional

Have a good day, whether you're bi or not :heart_bi:
