    I posted this last night. A follower chimed in. His speciality is anthropology.

    Philippe Descola’s framework in Beyond Nature and Culture outlines four ontological regimes:

    • Naturalism (the modern Western default)
    • Animism
    • Totemism
    • Analogism

    Only one language currently uses the letter "ð", that I know of. English used to have it, and if it were up to me, we'd pick it up again! None of this "th" for two different sounds ‐ go back to using "ð" for "this" and "þ" for "theme"!

  7. At my old company I started #thunFursday as a way for designers and other folk to relax and get a little silly creating weird things. Each week we would have a theme and #spoonerisms were encouraged. #LanguageGames, #visualPuns, #visPo #art anything goes, just be respectful of others. And as a theme to kick things off lets try: SPOONERISMS
