Rose House, Lebanon
The Rose House is a once-grand palace in #Lebanon. Its name echoes the magnificent roses that previously flourished in the now-disused gardens.
The #architecture combines traditional #Ottoman characteristics with more Western influences. The main living area is typical of historic Lebanese buildings, high ceilings and an internal triple-arch arcade leading to a balcony.

I've been here for about a year without an #introduction, so here it is
I'm linuxjava7 (I go by many nicknames)
- #opensource and #freesoftware enthusiast
- #gnome lover
- I do #uxdesign as a hobby and enjoy #design as a whole
- I like #urbanism
- I do like #cars (and if that seems contradictory, it's not)
- I also like #linguistics, I'm studying #Arabic, and some other languages on the side.
- Also have #autism with #adhd aka #AuDHD
I mostly lurk around but occasionally I post some stuff
Some other interests are #Marxism, #Psychoanalysis, #AfricanLit, #PoliticalEconomy, #Degrowth, #Accelerationism, #Consciousness, #ArabStudies, #Nature, #Biology, #Cosmology and #Quantum, #Surrealism, #Modernism, and #Romanticism.
Language of the accounts can be broad. I can read #English, #French, and #Spanish fluently, and #Arabic reasonably well.
I am a huge advocate for shorter writings. I’m all about #ShortStories and #Essays, and I’d love to follow these sorts of accounts.
Four languages, one fun connection!
Ever wondered how to say English, Spanish, Hebrew, and Arabic in Hebrew? Watch this video and learn to pronounce them like a pro! 
Fun fact: Spanish and English both borrowed the word coffee from Arabic (qahwa – קָהְוָה – قهوة), while Hebrew calls it café (קָפֶה), just like Spanish! 
Important fact because my day doesn’t start without my COFFEE 
Hit play and let’s speak some Hebrew together! 
"#Ladino is one of the most important diasporic #languages in #Jewish history. Also known as #Judeo-#Spanish, or #Judezmo, Ladino is a Romance #language — a variety of Spanish that includes both words and phrases from #Hebrew, #Turkish, #Arabic, #Greek, #French and #Italian. It originally developed in medieval Christian #Spain; after the expulsion of the #Jews in 1492, it moved along with Jewish exiles, and then developed independently of #Iberian Spanish. For 500 years, Ladino thrived, and was the mother tongue of generations of #Sephardic Jews.
If you think you’ve noticed snippets of Ladino lately, you’re right."

Looking for Arabic monospace fonts to use on a web project. I know of Hasubi-mono by @elih (but it's not production-ready), and Kawkab-mono by Makkuk.com
Any others that I should know of?

On the new #Arabic language program in a Bellevue (#Seattle-area) public school, with video of the kindergarten class <3 https://www.seattletimes.com/education-lab/families-asked-for-an-arabic-program-this-bellevue-school-listened/ #education
I actually learned a new word in researching this article 'razzia' which was the typical word used in Dutch and Indonesian articles about these 1951 raids. (the other words being arrestaties or penangkapan2, per the writing conventions of the time).
I would have thought razzia is an Italian word but apparently it's from Arabic, is used in English (have never heard it used!).

This doesn't mean that I'm not sad that there are so few #Arabic speakers here, or that I don't see the anti-Black racism, or that nerd-focused culture is exclusionary in so many ways. But I do want to say that in our critique of Mastodon, let's not discount the good parts of what it has done for us.
