Fun fact: There are a lot of rivers in the UK named “avon” because the Romans arrived and asked the Celts what the rivers were called. The Celts answered “avon.”
“Avon” is just the Celtic word for river.
Fan Fact #2: When Spanish conquistadors landed in the Yucatán peninsula, they asked the natives what their land was called and they responded “Yucatán”. In 2015, it was discovered that in those mesoamerican languages, “Yucatán” meant “I don’t understand what you are saying”

C’EST QUOI GRITTY
Caption and English translation
Le Monde, a French newspaper, article from November 8th, 2020.
Title reads “your questions [about the US election]” A subscriber asks “What is Gritty?”. The response is as follows.
Goodevening,
If you are asking this question, you have probably heard about this furry orange ball which is none other than the Philidelphia Fliers NHL mascot, Gritty. Like the author of this article explains, Gritty has become a symbol of anti-fascism on social media and in protests against the Trump administration. Many people in Philidelphia (where the election results have just come out in favor of Joe Biden) have donned makeup in Gritty’s likeness to show support for Biden.

On a similar note I would occasionally be a TA for my uncle, who is an english prof, and I would proctor exams and just help out around the hall for side cash nbd and it was SO weird because despite being a proctor/TA for a bunch of stuff when I was in college, it was the ONLY time other students would be like “but why are u not also taking exam, as you are but a babby”

I just did a quick perusal of the Coptic resources on this site, and it has all the resources I’ve personally found worthwhile and then some. These are resources that took me months, if not years, to discover and compile. I am thoroughly impressed. The other languages featured on the site are:
- Akkadian
- Arabic
- Aramaic
- Church Slavonic
- Egyptian (hieroglyphics and Demotic)
- Elamite
- Ethiopic (Ge’ez)
- Etruscan

- Old English
- Old French
- Old Frisian
- Old High German
- Old Irish
- Old Norse
- Old Persian
- Old Turkic
- Sanskrit
- Sumerian
- Syriac
- Ugaritic
For the love of all the gods, if you ever wanted to learn any of these languages, use this site.
Likely helpful for various recon-oriented polytheists.
The astro-fashion-loving Internet collectively gasped when ESA’s Hubble twitter account posted three gorgeous gowns, by Czech designer Jirina Tauchmanova with only credit “Photo: Vasek”, which google thinks is a Canadian tennis player. For four long days I couldn’t find anymore images, until, today! Which is why I’m sharing a belated #FashionFriday and #StarrySunday combo.
These gown were shown at Serbia Fashion Week back in December 2015 as Jirina Tauchmanova‘s Spring/Summer 2016 collection – I hope that means they will be available for purchase soon!
I think I recognize at least two of the images, NGC 602 & 30 Doradus, but I’m going to have to see these in person to be sure, yes, definitely, and probably try them on, too.

I started screaming to myself BUT THEN WHO DID THE ART BASED ON THE SCREENSHOT? And I realised I can find out, so I did.

The artist’s handle is MILOSLAVvonRANDA and he is Czech.
Unfortunately I can’t find him on any other accounts and, like any sane person, he stopped being active on DA a while ago.
