Writes of Way šŸ›£šŸššŸ—ŗšŸ§­Jan 11, 2023
ā€œDzidzilalichā€ has been proposed as an honorary name for the new Elliott Way in downtown #Seattle, and for Alaskan Way from Elliott Way to S Dearborn Street. I'm glad to see the name return to our waterfront, but couldn't we have done better than "Elliott Way" for the new road? https://www.writesofway.org/dzidzilalich-return-seattle-waterfront-honorary-name-elliott-way-alaskan-way/ #Lushootseed #Duwamish #Suquamish #Muckleshoot #StreetName #StreetNames #NativeNames #NativeAmerican

Officially turned on my automated reply for parental leave in 2023 - decided to make it a bit less cruel to colleagues who have to keep me on email chains, while also sneaking in a linguistics fact.

Last night I had a vivid and complicated dream which included being a passenger on a floatplane with a full mast and keel like a sailing boat, all while fully aware of how ridiculously ungainly that would be.

@picklish oh, that makes sense. The doctor in the original gets so few words that I forgot they were a separate character, lol.
The repeated attention on how American Denton is, along with his not being much of a doctor, felt consistent with how I imagine Poe, but thatā€™s really just that he feels like a Poe character to me.

@kookie thereā€™s a gravel pit in NW Washington State on Rocktogo Road. Iā€™m sure itā€™s supposed to be ā€œrock to goā€, but I canā€™t help parsing it as ā€œRock Togoā€.

You've heard of Sapir-Whorf, but you are probably unfamiliar with the Tapir-Worf hypothesis, which states:

"A tapir could kick Worf's ass if it was necessary for plot reasons to establish that the tapir is very strong."

So is Denton supposed to be the first person narrator from the Poe story? I havenā€™t been able to make up my mind about that.

Native technologists call for the ApacheĀ® Software Foundation to change its name.

I am not Indigenous, but I join their request in allyship.

ApacheĀ® Appropriation

It is not uncommon to learn about non-Indigenous entities appropriating Indigenous culture but none of them are as large, prestigious, nor well-known as The ApacheĀ® Software Foundation is in software circles.

@balrogboogie Iā€™m making an assumption about your accent based on where you grew up, but if it sounds how I expect then it is a stop.

Finally - if your reaction to a community setting a boundary with you ("don't index me, even if you technically can") is "fuck you, I'll do what I want," then congratulations, you are engaging in a pattern of deliberate boundary erosion.

There's a name for that. It's not a nice name, and you probably don't think of yourself in those terms, but it's abuse.
