any #lilypond or #abjad users in #paris?

I have been consumed with binding artist books and writing the monograph that goes with them, but I expect to finish writing tomorrow! Now that I'm so close to printing, I'm opening pre-orders for the monograph: It's a chance to catch it at the early bird price but the window closes when the book goes to press. It will ship in October after my campaign fulfillment.

I got a letter!

#Sefaria, a digital library of Jewish literature, is celebrating its 10 year anniversary by letting folks claim a Hebrew letter from the Torah. I know very little about #Hebrew so why not learn about what the letter means, as well as what the word in the verse means. (1/5)

#FediverseServer #migrateaccount #queer #magic #discordianism #poetry #writing #transgirls #conlangs #shorthand #abjad #abugida #tarot I'm thinking of changing instances, not for any lack of love for the home I'm in (if I did leave I think I would start another account here, just because sdf will always be home) but out of my natural wanderlust. I threw a few hashtags up to help me find prospective communities. Please send me any suggestions or invitations you can muster. ๐Ÿ’•

The #writingsystem for my new #conlang

Not sure there's a real-world lang using something like this, so rn I call it a "relative #abjad" bc instead of writing characters to represent sounds, each sound corresponds to a position on a slanted grid, so strokes you make actually mark the relationship between consonants. Each grid makes a single word

This says "A Tinus bib ti'as kiham bib kmam," spelled "X TNS BBB T'S KHM BBB KMM," & means "'The One speaks then I speak also."

#neography

Abjads are weird. ืžืžืžืžืžื is a valid word that is consisted of six instances of the letter Mem (it means "from their memers", by the way). And even if you don't use the borrowed root ืžื, you can still have ืžืžืžืžื ื ("from their sponsor"), a word that was not constructed just for this exercise and could very well have been used in print.
