AAAARGH! I'm not at all surprised, but NIST's excellent whitepaper on Inclusive Language (NIST.IR.8366) has been withdrawn:
https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ir/2021/NIST.IR.8366.pdf
This was an excellent resource that I reference all the time. I feared it would go away so I made a snapshot a few weeks back that I uploaded here: https://nygren.org/archived/NIST.IR.8366.pdf

Decolonising language : master-slave
I recall being told about a better phrase to use than master-slave for dependencies, but I can't recall what it was. Google isn't helping. Any ressources?

As a sort of follow-up to the Translation Tribulations Substack guest post on #InclusiveLanguage, we tackle some challenges of non-gendered language in German. It can get crazy with seven... no eight options that I know of.

I wish that the usage of inclusive languageS, not only limited to pronouns and neopronouns, expand lots. like tomorrow already.
and I wish that we normalize that there will be a lot of languageS, and not normalize only one inclusive language. because of 1000 reasons, but also because some ppl out of different reasons, some of them intersectional, will need more time than others.
be ungovernable, be unnormalizeble. fuck academia, fuck semantics. embrace the great poetry coming through fucked up semantics and abundant pronouns with verbal forms, old and new..
if we want to include, we need to make space for all languages, idioms, forms of expression, and that we are able to speak or write or express (communicate) from our place of speaking, with all our differences, disadvantages and privileges, and not again fit into one one language normalised by some.
we will be many voices, and hopefully willing to listen, and bringing the resources to listen (aka, read, translate or decode, or understand).
🌐👁️ Considering a hashtag like #ActuallyBlind for those with no useful vision. It could help in clarifying discussions around blindness, emphasizing the diverse experiences within the blind community. Hashtags can be powerful tools for awareness and understanding. #Blind #VisualImpairment #InclusiveLanguage #AwarenessCampaign 🌐👁️
