For The Record, I Looked This Person Up On Twitter And I Think They Actually Live In Baltimore And Seem

For the record, I looked this person up on Twitter and I think they actually live in Baltimore and seem pretty chill.

I will die in the hill of my driving opinions re: the DMV, however.

Nothing but support for Imane Khelif going after every public figure that spread misinformation about her.

Hope JK Rowling in particular gets sued into the ground.

Friends go watch this! Conceptually interesting, beautifully drawn (it's just an animatic so far, but we all love Kiana's style, let's be real), and genuinely funny. I can't wait to see where this goes!

if you're from the USA, tag what you chose and what general region you're from (don't dox yourself, I don't need to know your hometown or any other security questions), using this map:

I'd also love to know if you were aware of the opposing connotation/definition or any of the various other pronunciations before reading this. I am not the least bit interested in what anyone thinks is ~correct~, only what they use and what they've heard before.

for non-USAmericans, I'm super curious if this linguistic difference exists outside the USA in any way, so I'd love it if you tagged your country as well.

reblog for sample size, you know the drill.

On related note, a few years ago, the Entomological Society of America officially discontinued the use of "gypsy moth" and "gyspy ant" as common names for Lymantria dispar and Aphaenogaster araneoides. L. Dispar is now known as the "spongy moth," so named for the appearance of their eggs, but I don't think a new common name has caught on for the ant species yet.

These changes we brought about, in large part, by the advocacy of Romani people in academia. You might not think that bug names are a very serious issue, but I believe that language matters. These species became known as "gypsies" because their attributes were likened to certain stereotypes and negative perceptions of actual Roma, so the continued use of those names reaffirmed those negative associations in the public consciousness. Slurs and pejoratives can never be truly decontexualized.

In my mind, one of the biggest obstacles that Romani people face when we are trying to advocate for ourselves is a lack of recognition as a marginalized group that deserves the necessary consideration. Even for seemingly trivial matters, like bugs or comic book characters, the way that people talk about us-- and talk down to us, when we get involved-- is telling. So, I always think that changes like this are a win, because it means that people are willing to learn and grant us the dignity we deserve. And there's nothing wrong with wanting to effect change in your own field, even arts and science.
