I thought my day couldn't get any better but my Uber driver was an Iraqi from Mosul who was a big fan of Jāhilī poetry and was crazy excited when I explained my research to him, and he had the cool dorsal /r/ when pronouncing Arabic. It's too easy in the US to forget how other…
Any time I need to feel better I watch old archival news reports of the wall coming down in Berlin. Because I can never watch that and hate humans afterward.
Made a “Don’t mess with the Zohar” joke and thought there’s no way this hasn’t already occurred to someone. And behold it has indeed.
They *are* normal. You’ve just never spent time around Orthodox Jews. It isn’t getting god on a technicality. That’s not how it works and a terrible way to think about it. He’s just describing the procedures for not accidentally violating rules.

Today I learned that there is a website “Sex On The Wrong Brain” devoted to espousing the theory that masturbation with the right hand affects the left hemisphere of the brain and excites authoritarian impulses that lead to social pathologies.

Yeah but it’s the birthplace of Hamza ibn al-Hasan whose work wound up as a major source of information on the phonology of early Islamic-era Persian phonology, so it does have that going for it. I always focus on the important stuff with major relevance, you see.

I’ve noticed that if you ask people when they think the moment was that being versed in theory became more important and more prized than familiarity with primary sources, the date they give usually corresponds to whenever that person was in grad school.
I love the unassimilated Italian plural “pizze” tossed right there into an English text, showing how exotic this word was still felt to be.

This seems like a really bad idea and bad precedent. I’d give 70/30 odds that there’s going to be a “I never thought the hornet would sting MY ass” thing with a Magen David at some point.

I'm tired of everyone getting to be an ancient civilization but us. The PRC was born in 1949. The Russian Federation, 1991. We're still running on software from the 1700s. Come back when Chinese judges are making rulings based on their vague interpretation of Qing intentions.

@azforeman البته یه دونه بهترش هست: گاو ما در صف شیر آمد و ما ما میکرد وانچه خود داشت ز بیگانه تمنا میکرد :))
Today I learned that there is a website “Sex On The Wrong Brain” devoted to espousing the theory that masturbation with the right hand affects the left hemisphere of the brain and excites authoritarian impulses that lead to social pathologies.
I'm tired of everyone getting to be an ancient civilization but us. The PRC was born in 1949. The Russian Federation, 1991. We're still running on software from the 1700s. Come back when Chinese judges are making rulings based on their vague interpretation of Qing intentions.
“Washington lacks the levers to transform places such as Russia and China: countries that originated as empires on the Eurasian landmass and celebrate themselves as ancient civilizations that long predate the founding of the United States.” trib.al/u7Vcxw2
@azforeman To be fair, historical record holds that the awful "Book Pahlavi" (hām-dibīrīh) was used to write exegesis only, & teaching it to laity was apparently outlawed by Xusrō I after the Mazdak incident. The script they themselves used for secular literature was reportedly elaborate.
@azforeman I've noticed this as well. The literature on it seems to all focus on mainstream Iranian Persian (which it always calls just "Persian"--even though, as you observed, it doesn't apply to eastern Persian or necessarily every dialect within Iran).
@azforeman [after looking for the joke and not finding it] Mazel Tov!
@azforeman Lōōōxan! You don't have to put on your red light.
@azforeman Beautiful, brilliant. I loved many things especially “radiant in darkling air as lantern-flames.”
@azforeman My colleague Nico switched to Nicolaas when he lived in Egypt
The fact that this still keeps being debated is in and of itself proof that it's a lost cause to try and police how people use a word.
Friends don’t let friends use wrong terms like “Farsi” (it’s called Persian) (and this isn’t political — it’s just being literate)
Isn't it funny that some people support Hamas and North Korea and love a word salad about how they want to destroy the imperialist West... but also want the most expansive version of civic and academic rights guaranteed? I support such academic freedom ofc but what a hypocrisy
My uncle in Tehran after I tell him I am worried: "If Israel hits my house out of 90 million people, it probably was time anyways" 😭😭 What would we do without our sense of humor?
@azforeman Very well phrased. Kahanist & jihadist orbits are two sides of the same dehumanising, eliminationist coin that legitimates targeted attacks on civilians & the dark logics of collective punishment. Both must be fought tooth & nail for brighter futures to flourish.
@sharghzadeh @azforeman Same on the Arab side. Like ألماس، فيروز، يوهر (جوهر)، زعفران etc. were common slave names.
