Sitting in a riad in Casablanca, Morocco, reading about Selk'nam (a language and people from Chile / Argentina) on Wikipedia and then following a tangent to this article about language revival:
newyorker.com/magazine/2015/03

The American perspective is strong here watch out, but there were some interesting tidbits I hadnt heard before, like "Kōhanga Reo" or language nests. Nor did I know that Hawaiian was banned in schools till 1986.

Nice! That small ethnic group played a key part in my long ago PhD thesis.

You can still listen to chants in Selk'nam from a very old recording of Lola Kiepja. Enjoy - it's amazing.

Excited to attend my second @ccc camp, and want to start planning my week there. What are you excited to attend? Who do I need to have conversations with? #ccc23 #cccamp #ccccamp23

"Raymond Roussel famously created a writing method – his „procédé“ – which in its most simple form consisted in a painstaking construction of two almost identical phrases which have entirely different meanings – an equation of facts to be solved by filling the gap of meaning between the sentences with a coherent narration."
