Bluesky is unusual in the prevalence of Forumean fossils; many modern readers would recognize a goatman ideograms, even if they are unlikely to use one

Anyone have any close-up photos? Are there animals, ideograms, people?

English speakers: this only happens in your language because your writing system is the second most despicable thing humans have ever created.

In a real aphabetic system people can pronounce any word they can read, english uses alphabetic characters to draw ideograms.

macabre = “muh-KAHB”

Worcestershire = “WOOSS-ter-sheer”

omnipotent = “ahm-NI-puh-tunt”

reticent = “RET-uh-sunt”

epitome = “ih-PIT-uh-mee”

myriad = "MEER-ee-ud"

Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word.

It means they learned it by reading.

This is only possible between minded things. John Searle's famous Chinese Room argument demonstrates this. In that argument, Searle asks you to consider a man in a room. That man has a book of Chinese ideograms and their English equivalents, plus a second grammar as to how to perfectly translate...

boomer art is rich with symbolism, with several ideograms - guitar, hot rod, woman in bikini - that exist to express differing shades of badassness

PARTISANS

He hacks at a snowdrift:
She skims the pine needles
That drop into their soup ,
Scattering on the snowcrust
Ideograms of “peace”
And “love”, suchlike ideals.

Lumsden/DMJM’s Edward R. Roybal Comprehensive Health Center in East Los Angeles (1979), called “La Clínica de Colores.” Depictions of Aztec life (not sure if they’re actual Nahuatl ideograms) down the middle, and the tile also seeming to nod to Aztec designs

QRP with your header art

Raccoon in Spanish, as you may already know by my name, is Mapache, it comes from Nahuatl “mapachtli” which approximately means “he who grabs with his hands”
So I wrote “Roque Mapache” below with Nahuatl ideograms, phonetically approximating.

Even on Coruscant, the packaged products available for sale are *incredibly* light on writing.

The central marketplaces of cities (like the Malgan Market, here) are almost completely devoid of signage.

Highly technical interfaces are unlabeled, and oft as not use ideograms.

Another two pieces in this series. Are these #ideograms? Are they stand-alone pieces or meant to be grouped together? #lyricalabstraction #reusedcardboard #abstractmixedmedia

Mine are very idiosyncratic. Right hand: a friend who's a woad painter did the design for me. Fingers are linear b ideograms except for pinky. Thumb also has monas hieroglyphica. Left hand unfinished, just a sator square.
