AITA for correcting my girlfriend's family every time they mispronounce my turtle's name?
I have a turtle named Geoff. Yes I know Geoff is normally pronounced Jeff. His isnt. My girlfriend's family knows this and still calls him Jeff basically every time his name comes up.
His name starts with /dz/ instead of the normal American English J sound /d3/. So regular Geoff/Jeff is roughly /dzef/ and his is /dzef/. They are similar but they are NOT the same consonant. /d3/ is a voiced postalveolar affricate and /dz/ is a voiced retroflex affricate. Basically you make the beginning of "Jeff" with the tongue farther back/retracted, which gives it a harder, deeper "dzh" sound.
I'm really into etymology and historical linguistics so the spelling was intentional too. Geoff is already a weird spelling from a modern English perspective because gives you basically no reason to predict /dzef/ unless you already know the name. Obviously I am NOT claiming medieval Geoffrey was pronounced / dzef/. I

As a USian living in Europe, a baffling thing isn't what Europeans say about US politics, but what USians say Europeans say about US politics. It's so divorced from anything I've ever heard any European say, and more over so incredibly divorced from what Europeans do that it makes no sense

Source Callout: for a story at the Guardian, I'm interviewing folks who were asked to keep working with someone after sexual assault or harassment or relationship abuse, and told to stay silent "for the good of the movement" (more info in pic with alt text). reach out on Signal @ lex_mcmenamin.68

for a story at The Guardian, I'm looking to speak to 1-2 people who have had their community/ political organizing work impacted by being expected or forced to organize with someone who assaulted or harassed them, and that staying silent was "for the good of the movement"
I know this is an extremely common story, but also one people can't always share with their name or face: anonymity or pseudonyms will be provided.
I am trained in trauma-informed strategies in working with survivors, am a survivor myself, and take digital hygiene and sources' security extremely seriously.
Please reach out over signal @ lex_mcmenamin.68 . I'll take this down when I have enough folks. Thank you.

I hate this discourse, it's just deeply not true. Sometimes people ask me why my country is the way it is or want to talk about politics, but most people outside the US don't just blindly hate on USians nor do they treat USians poorly
