Hallo! Gibt es Nachrichten des Tages in einfacher Sprache in #Spanisch? Oder eine Kindersendung? Ich möchte gern täglich Spanisch hören, nicht aus einem Sprachkurs. Freue mich über Empehlungen (Video oder Audio). #einfacheSprache #Spanishlernen

Hola, ¿hay algún telediario del día en lenguaje llano en #español? O algún programa infantil? Me gustaría escuchar español todos los días, pero no de un curso de idiomas. Encantado de recibir recomendaciones (vídeo o audio). #simplelanguage #noticias

Sometimes one has to say difficult things, but one ought to say them as simply as one knows how.

on direct communication, direct asking for what you want, what you don't want, asserting limits. some say it is rude. but:

- includes neurotypical and neurodivergent alike.
- includes migrants, or all people who are not native speakers.
-includes people who need simple language, if you need an example, people hard of hearing, with cognitive or educational impairment.
-or just making things simpler to understand, no interpretation nor second guessing necessary. (second guessing is toxic for e. g. depressed or autistic people, and honestly, probably for everybody)
-a tool for consent: easier to ask and agree or not to things. making decision processes transparent.
-accountability easier to track. are people really doing what they say.

this text came as convergence from my own recovery from depression and other nasties, neurodivergence education, a recent conflict in an mastodon instance with the wrong person leaving it, and finally discussions with artists friends who insist art must be hermetic and ambiguous.

I commit to staying direct and probably rude.
