Cannot make this shit up.

Woman next door, who has not said a single R sound in her 30+ year Boston life, is hanging out the front door of her house holding a cup of Dunkies, wearing a Celtics sweatshirt, and screaming CONNAH (Conner) GET YA BUTT INSIDE IT'S COLD OUT YA GONNA CATCH COVID.


Serenity "Lady of Shallots" Dee 🍜 (@sapphixy.bsky.social):

I once came across a TikTok from a Bostonian objecting vehemently and sincerely to a TikTok from some dude in central MA giving proper pronunciation of MA place names because he had a mostly rhotic accent. (I say "mostly" because he still pronounced Woburn like a Southie.)


Julia S. (@booktweeting.bsky.social):

the phoneme fairies gave the people of Central Massachusetts the ability to pronounce an interstitial R but took away their ability to pronounce interstitial T in exchange

this is an impor-un difference


Serenity "Lady of Shallots" Dee 🍜 (@sapphixy.bsky.social):

are you telling me that for some people it's not "Wuster" but "Wusser"?


Julia S. (@booktweeting.bsky.social):

Wissdah


Serenity "Lady of Shallots" Dee 🍜 (@sapphixy.bsky.social):

there's a Hampton Roads (e.g. Norfolk, Virginia Beach) accent that seems to have lost all consonants except for some nasals

"Feather and Fin" became "e'erãhĩ"


Julia S. (@booktweeting.bsky.social):

hyperlocal pronunciation is so interesting to me


Serenity "Lady of Shallots" Dee 🍜 (@sapphixy.bsky.social):

Yeah, I'm not even sure how to transcribe the sound that the /ð/ in feather became

/ʍ/, maybe


Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

There's an accent, i don't know what the name of it is, that transforms "allright" into aɪ̯ŋeɪ̯, just eliding every consonant, a glide of vowels thru the sinuses


Serenity "Lady of Shallots" Dee 🍜 (@sapphixy.bsky.social):

I know that when I code switch into Black American English "alright" sounds more like "aight".

Wendy Carlos Williams (@nataliereed84.bsky.social):

Also, you know, in retrospect… they really did start targeting trans people and making a big deal about us pretty much immediately after the UK and US legalized gay marriage on the national level. It's a lot more of an obvious transferrence of a political project than it seemed at the time.

Wendy Carlos Williams (@nataliereed84.bsky.social):

Honestly it's kind of impressive how in just ten years everyone has come to take same-s*x marriage completely for granted.

It has been a long running campaign that did, indeed, launch right after Obergefell was decided

Emma Cumslutress 🏳️⚧️ (@cumslutress.love):

there was a new study published today in Nature showing that state-level anti-trans laws increase suicide among trans kids up to 72%.

when we say that the New York Times (and other rags of equal repute) is killing us, that's because IT IS LITERALLY KILLING US


Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Leaving this here - Another study published by other authors last year shows the same effect — anti-trangender laws have a measurable effect in hate crime homicides targeting transgender people, 2015-2022

They would have embraced Vance for networking with Groypers. Trump dined with Nick Fuentes. Groypers marched on Congress on Jan 6. The GOP need SturmAbteilung.

If anyone needs me I will be in a cupboard hyper ventilating into a paper bag

Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.bsky.social):

Eric Adams could change his electoral vote in exchange for a pardon from Trump. This is untenable. I'm not even sure if there's a process to remove him as an elector this close to an election.


Julia Rusty Ralston, the ðude. 🔜 BLFC 🍉 (@imrustyokay.bsky.social):

Thankfully New York doesn't allow for faithless electors, but having him as one of those electors is absolutely insane.

Something I'd imagine New York State may want to take care of real soon...

It is a blessing to wake up from a nightmare, because it means I am not so exhausted that I doze through the nightmare, it means I am getting REM sleep instead of a few hours of non-REM sleep. It means I've woken up.
