Have a good festive season, and all the best for 2024!

@alexwest Glad to hear! Speaking of writing, I'll have some short article-cum-announcement posted on "my" Substack before Xmas (will toot a link to it on here, too), but I am always envious of those who can rightfully claim that writing is enjoyable for themselves. Take care, have some enjoyable time writing and doing other stuff, and I wish you happy holidays and a good start of the coming next year in advance!

@alexwest Have the few days after that dreadful time been better?

@alexwest Glad you're doing fine. Take care over there in Lusitania! I also have a project or two, but won't tell until there I can show some output for all to enjoy (works better in my case)!

Part 3 of my translation on Catholicism in Confucian Choseon Korea: https://philologicaltryouts.substack.com/p/argumentative-text-against-catholicism-c67?utm_medium=reader2 #ClassicalChinese #Korea #Philology #Translation #Catholicism #Confucianism

Hi everyone. New post is out on my Substack. First one after quite some time. Check it out, it's about intelligent music. https://philologicaltryouts.substack.com/p/proposal-for-a-new-old-summer-hit

It's been a while since my last album recommendation (or my very last sign of life here on Mastodon/QOTO, for that matter), so here you have a brand new one, for rather old music. Album: Hölderlins Traum (1972) by the West German band Hölderlin. Link: youtu.be/iGn6nLaTfqU.

Part 2 of an 18th Century Korean scholar's text lambasting Catholicism. Translated from Classical Chinese + annotated by yours truly: https://philologicaltryouts.substack.com/p/argumentative-text-against-catholicism-d40?utm_medium=reader2 .

Thought it might be nice to throw in an album recommendation for good measure (should do it more often): Guruh Gipsy (album of same name, Indonesia). The remastering may well have happened in 2021, but it's originally from 1976, I believe. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TA3PLQ9Kjc&t=1729s

https://twitter.com/PEssayist/status/1649829955725938689 Question on the #AlbanianLanguage . Basically, I would like to know if the possessive pronoun referring to one person ("my," "your (thy)," "his"/"her"/"its" could also come before, instead of after, certain nouns for family members, if they occur in plural (e.g. "my sons"). #Albanian #Grammar
