I realised there's no pixel-style font for Mongolian script, and honestly not many fonts for it at all, so I made one.

It's called Gege Pixel. I drew every letter by hand, pixel by pixel, and it's a real font: you type and the letters join the way they should. Took me many sleepless nights.

There's a little game (with several asterisks) on the page where you can walk around and read it: pixel.gege.mn

​

It's a freemium font, as long as you’re not doing anything commercial, you can get it for free 😉

If you like it, pls share, it really helps.

Hello all! I am planning a trip to the Altai mountains and Tsaatan reigion and I'm wondering what are some extra things I should pack for the extreme cold and what type of boots should I get? Any help is appreciated thank you.

Genuinely, what tf do you do when there's a random man sleeping right by your door, snoring like a gycking animal? (not the first time)

I called the police, but unfortunately (or fortunately) my neighbour kicked the snoring guy out before they got here. I heard the whole thing through the door. So the police weren't able to find anyone. The guy was heavily intoxicated and couldn't even form a sentence.

I'm still kind of worried though, because it's getting colder, and there are cases where drunk people get into real bad stuff when they are gone. And I just don’t wish for any of that to happen around my neighbourhood…

It might be more common than you'd expect, incidents happening inside an orts, not just in Mongolia but everywhere. Our orts doesn't have a working CCTV, meaning anyone can do whatever tf they want to do once they are inside the building.

We also get randos calling our intercom, sometimes at like 3AM, or just any time of day. I don't get why people do that. And we live very close to the city centre, which I thought would be safer but I doubt it.

How do you guys deal with ish like this?

EDIT: The drunk guy went upstairs to sleep the night. How did the police miss him lmao.

Hello! I'm spending some time in UB and I'd love to meet some young people and make new friends. I'd also really like to practise my Mongolian, so it'd be great to find someone who'd be up for chatting, hanging out and maybe showing me around a bit. 😊🍀

Hi. I'm a woman, 25, and I'm gonna travel from UB to France through Russia + Kazakhstan and so on.

I'm going to get a dog and bring it with me, get all the shots and paperwork and whatnot and then just leave, and explore. I have a U.S passport also, so no problems or anything. half my family is herders in the north so I grew up around a ton of bankhar and stray dogs, but I want one thats young and reliable to grow up with me if that makes sense.

i can travel all over, i have a motorcycle and i'm a little crazy. anyone know a good place to get a dog?

I tried looking it up and it showed this: Миний найз охин болох уу?

I am an english speaker so Mongolian is hard for me to say, so I am planning on practicing to make sure she can understand what I am saying (LOL).

The question I have, is this how an actual person would ask someone to be their girlfriend? We are both in our early 20's. I also would prefer if the sentance was not too bad for an english speaker, if its super long I'm very scared I'll forget it when im up there saying it.

If there were to be a Mongolian character in a movie/tv show in western/english speaking media (American/Australian/British, Canadian, etc), how would you want them to be represented?

Would you want their identity to be a core part of their character, or would them just being Mongolian be enough? Would you want them to have a Mongolian first and last name?

Would you want to just see small details like them casually making khuushuur, buuz at home in one scene or explicitly mention Mongolia? Would you be upset if the character of their family was portrayed by a non mongolian east asian actor/actress?

What would you want to see and what would you not want to see? Does representation matter to you? Do you want to see more Mongolian characters in American/western media?

Hello everyone! Im 17F and I was born in Hong Kong but my mother is from Mongolia. Since I was young my parents have always only spoke in English or Cantonese with me so I’ve never really got into learning Mongolian but I’m very interested in the culture.

How would you suggest I get started and are there any resources you can recommend me? Thank you so much! 🤍
