#Supergirl has been out a week or so, so I figured it’s time to release all the #conlang dialogue @quothalinguist.bsky.social and I translated. Lots of #Kryptonian plus three new full languages and four conlang sketches. A LOT of work, but a lot of fun! archiveofourown.org/works/88310311

Well put. This is a solution in search of a nonexistent problem, all to make it far harder for millions to vote. That's vote suppression, folks.

Screenshot of an X.com post by Melanie D’Arrigo (@Darrigo) stating that undocumented immigrants can’t vote and that voter fraud is extremely rare, arguing Trump and Republicans are using a nonexistent problem as an excuse to manipulate future elections. Below is an embedded Aaron Rupar post quoting an NBC question about whether Trump is suggesting the federal government count votes, and a response from Leavitt saying Republicans and Democrats should pass the SAVE America Act, which would require voter ID and proof of citizenship. At the bottom is a TV still of Leavitt speaking at a White House press briefing with reporters visible nearby.
