When I praised Peter #Vermeulen's critical insights on the concept of #TheoryOfMind in #autism science, quoted in translation in the English Wikipedia, I lamented that they were from a #French book that hadn't been translated into English. Someone (I forget who) challenged me to read it in French, learning the language on the fly. Encouraged by having an easier time than I expected reading Vermeulen's bio article in the French Wikipedia with the aid of word lookup — and by my belief that English is functionally not a Germanic language at all, but a Romance language in Germanic disguise — I decided actually to go for it.
But now that a copy of the 3rd edition of "Autisme et émotions" is actually on my desk, I've discovered that there is an unexpected new angle. This book is itself a translation, INTO French, of Vermeulen's #Flemish original, "Autisme en emoties"!
This will be an even more interesting experience than I expected.
David GraylessHilde de Baerdemaeker (born 8 May 1978) is a #Flemish actress. She is best known for her roles as Louise in Louislouise, and as Linda De Leenheer in De Zaak Alzheimer (in English: The Memory of a Killer or #TheAlzheimerCase), Team Spirit, and Halleluja. She reprised her role as Linda de Leenheer in #DossierK.
Lisa St.JohnPeople of Mastodon, I need some help translating something my mum used to say to me when I was young.
She would say in Flemish something like "curieuzeneuzen floorstitcher'.
I've worked out that curieuzeneuzen literally means "curious nose", but the part that sounded like "floorstitcher" has eluded me.
Sadly my mum passed away last week. She was born in Gent, but grew up in England. Remembering her today reminded me about the phrase.
On a related note, how does a country that small have 3 different dialects of flemish‽

Jan Tobias MuehlbergSince a day or two I'm getting bombarded with ads for #TheBestImigrant. A #Flemish|#Belgian series that depicts #migrants competing for their #residence permit in a show -- the Flemish interpretation of the #TheHungerGames. It's meant to be eye-opening fiction, I hope. But the feeling the trailers leave me with is something different: We are animals to the Flemish. Freak show material at best. It's a sinister blueprint for a not-unlikely future of #migration that shouldn't have been produced.
