读过 英语魔法师之语法俱乐部 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
补完了这本书，学到了补语这个概念，不知道跟正统的语法概念有没有出入，但对自己是挺有用的，因为它给一些我常常困扰的语法概念提供了一种非死记硬背（强迫性的意外“法则”）的“合理”解释。这么说来英语也是挺有它的逻辑的。扣掉一分是因为它举的例句挺厌女的。

Friends of mine are running this amazing project, A(fro)TOPOS: https://afrotopos.com/ (#French and #German; communication in #English is totally fine!) If you'd like to visit, receive news, or if you're an #artist, or a group of #artists, interested in a #residency in #Yaoundé, #Cameroon, or in #Osnabrück, #Germany, drop them a line! The idea is to work #together at a level of #equity, dealing with the deep wounds of #colonialism, filling #spaces yet unknown.

Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.

I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, and @hollo, a fediverse microblog for single users.

I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文/#漢文)!

Shots fired! :D #English #UK #US

避雷：Learning English with ESL
形式我挺喜欢，先听阅读材料，再文本细读，但是听了两篇感觉文本不行。
第一篇听到男的对女的说Oh, you’re a film snob，我就很震撼了，怎么说话的！我要跟着他学，出门岂不是随随便便就要被赏嘴巴子！
第二篇文本则是猥琐，男的盯着比基尼美女意淫，女的让他别看了，用的理由是小心她男朋友来打你。不啊，女的制止男的，不是因为这种行为冒犯了那个美女，而是因为会冒犯那个美女 可能存在的 男朋友？而且这个文本，有什么参考价值啊？比多邻国那种“你的狗也在学法语吗”的例句还要不实用……

@silverpill, should I use the #Ukrainian interface option in #Mitra to mark #ActivityPub posts with this language (instead of #English), or is the interface option not related? I just can't find this in the message form.

In #Tuba app, I can simply select the content language, but I'm not sure about the default web UI behavior.

This morning I was given notice of redundancy - my last day is this Friday. The school I work for is closing my department

I’ve worked there for 15 years & the current teaching staff is the best I’ve ever seen. Just outrageously good teachers. Students love us. We absolutely rock

Unfortunately, management did their jobs really badly, so now teachers are unemployed (don’t worry - managers get to stay, phew!)

This is how shocked Max was when I told him

I migrated my profile here, so let's add a short #introduction:

I am the #developer of #ArcaneChat, one of the #DeltaChat developers and many other small projects related to it, like creating or porting several web apps to #webxdc (in-chat mini-apps), I also develop several #bots for the mentioned chat apps

Outside #programming I like to cook, #hike, learn to play the #guitar, chill listening to music, drink green tea, learn #German language (and I would like to learn #Portuguese, #Italian and #French if I even finish with German 😅)

I speak #Spanish and #English but I will be speaking only English in this account

🆕 blog! “This blog is written in en-GB”

Someone left a comment on my blog recently asking if I'd mind making my language more inclusive. They didn't get some of the cultural references I'd used and suggested it would be easier if I used tropes which were more globally known.

Here's the thing. No.

All my blog posts start with a simple declaration:
