“X (Twitter) is just Versailles” is such an important point made by @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social. Well said, Adrian and Moira!

I need you to understand what this EO means. Let me explain, and please know that I do this in the capacity of a PhD candidate who researches this exact topic for a living. See image for details. www.npr.org/2025/03/01/n...

Gen X and Millennials unite in our love for this fox.

Disney’s Maid Marian and Robin Hood who are cartoon red foxes. Marian wears a lilac dress with blush pink sleeves and a baby pink veil over her hair. Robin wears a green tunic and cap. They are smiling at each other. Robin’s eyes are closed in laughter and Marian looks at him adoringly.

Yesterday I listened to an @ologies.bsky.social Ologies podcast episode and learned that a “psychopomp” is a figure from a mythology or religion that is said to usher a person through death on their journey into an afterlife, and honestly I needed that.

Four psychopomps from mythologies from around the world. The leftmost image looks like a female angel with white wings and may be a Valkyrie. The next image is of a soaring eagle. The next image is death as represented by the Grim Reaper, a figure with a black hooded cape and a sickle in its hand. The last figure is a sculpture of Anubis and is depicted as a man with a dog’s head.

Somebody in the #linguistics world PLEASE start writing your doctoral thesis about Squid Game 2’s Thanos and his use of English. I will personally pay your research stipend for this.

Korean rapper from Squid Game 2, Thanos. He has bright purple hair, coloured nails and tattoos. Drops of blood on his face.

As an elder Millennial, The Muppet Christmas Carol is THE movie to watch while baking cookies on Christmas Eve. I will be taking no further questions at this time.

@lauraskh.bsky.social and I just recorded a future @languageonthemove.bsky.social podcast episode about what the Octonauts can teach us about accents and discrimination. Bonus thanks to @jrkasstan.bsky.social for pointing us toward out Lippi-Green's paper on accents in children's media!
