I think I'm doing this mostly because having a single paper copy bothers me, more than anything. I don't particularly want to revive the lang, so much as digitize and archive it

Starting to get Nanon all typed up again, including the dictionary with sql.js. nanon.lang.drab-makyo.com biggest sections are still missing, including all the writing stuff which will mean extracting images from the PDF scan, but that can happen another time.

Stuffed conlang vocab into a sqlite db, have it displaying in the browser now 'cause of course someone's ported sqlite3 to JS.

Anyway, here's the Babel text in Nanon. Trying to reverse engineer my hard-copy notes into something I can keep on github.

Mental health 

Should note that a lot of these notes fall under the 'manic notes' category. I have a folder of barely legible scratchings that held far too much meaning at the time I scrawled them out :P

How to fuck up your cat:

Star Wars warm take 

I want Rey to be powerful despite her filthy junk trader parents because I want to be a considerate partner despite the way my dad treated relationships, or a good dog parent despite the way he hit them, or in control of my anger despite my step dad smacking me around.

Star Wars warm take 

I think Rey's parents actually being nobodies appeals particularly to folks with complicated relationships with their parents. It's like, stop making people great because their parents are great, because I - with my hecka flawed parents - need to have a chance at greatness, too.
