i love it when italians argue about italian. like we don’t even know how our language really works we just roll with it
Italian is 107 different provincial languages stuck together with spit and half a prayer
My bf lives in another region and we are constantly arguing about regional variations of words and we both live in the fucking north of Italy
one time i saw a map of italy but instead of cities and roads etc it was just covered w different ways you can say the word vagina. it was covered
oh I can think of at least seven ways to say the word vagina right off the top of my head rn. I can’t imagine what I could do if I tried harder

this is the Italian Vagina Map, reblog to… I’m not sure actually. Can’t hurt though.
reblog to Italian season your pussy
young me especially would have hated hearing this but networking is literally the most important thing you can do to improve your situation like forget economic barriers to education etc just keep making friends with different people and eventually someone will offer you a hand up just because they dig your vibe and that is exactly all that's happening when undeserving people surpass you anyway
When I look at how I survived my 20s, it was always helpful friends putting work my way. And often the helpful friends were people I had only known for weeks.
schools love to go on and on about networking but they do a shit job of teaching you how to do it.
networking isnt going to job fairs and accumulating a collection of business cards and having a good linkedin profile
networking is meeting someone on a dating app and even though you never get the chance to meet up irl you talk a bit on discord and they offer to help you job hunt because they have good technical writing skills and they really think youre cool
networking is meeting someone at a sports event and becoming friends and when you need a new place to live they already have a friend of theirs who just so happens to be looking for a new roommate
networking is joining a club and making really good friends with older members who just also happen to be good professional connections
"networking" is a term so poisoned and sanitized by capitalism that what it actually really is has been obscured in the minds of most people
Networking starts by talking to people!
Also, it's often taught as this innate trait people have-- "personable" or "a social butterfly", versus someone "shy" or "quiet". But people skills are very much SKILLS! They aren't innate. Some people have more natural talent for it, sure, but it's something you can learn, train at, and practice. It's something you can get better at!
And the best way to learn how is to actively practice. So talk to that person at the bus stop. Talk to the people in line at the grocery store. Start conversations, and practice your people skills!
(This is coming from an introvert who had to overcome social anxiety and habits learned from trauma to actually do it, but I want to reassure you that you CAN overcome your fear of talking to people! The more you practice, the more it builds your confidence too, not just your skills.)
For anyone who wants to learn how: here are two books I'd recommend reading. 1.) How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. 2.) Everyone Communicates, Few Connect by John Maxwell. These recommendations could be helpful even if you have people skills but want to hone them, too!
Louis Braquet, “Flirting with Death”
lookin right down both barrels of that thang
This is the last thing an ant ever sees
“don’t take it personally” how would you like me to take it then? professionally? romantically? academically?
"Scam" you mean people are fighting back against housing discrimination??? I don't think these people know what the word scam means
Scams are designed to trick someone into giving up money based on lies. This is just.. asking for information then legally enforcing the law??
Fuck landlords
"Are you illegally discriminating against disabled people?"
"Yes."
Always bear in mind that there is absolutely no legitimate evidence that Luigi was actually the one who killed the insurance company guy.
Of course he wasn't. He was at a party with me that day.
No but like literally, actually. All bits aside.
He didn't do it.
The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.
Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?
From the moment of his arrest, even left-of-center media has been presuming his guilt without examining anything (e.g. calling him "the killer" instead of "alleged" or "accused") and then when I say he didn't do it, the nearest person chimes in with some quip that tells me they think he did do it but should go free anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would have the same attitude if he had done it. But he didn't. It makes me feel like the only sane person in the world, even among my staunchly leftist friends.
Love this sm. But isn't there a risk of the people who text the scammer trying to buy tickets now getting scammed? Won't the scammer just have more victims to choose from now and a new scam they can run? Idk how this works, just curious and I'd love to scam a scammer if it doesn't expose more people to being scammed by them.
The dead horse beats me
Can I offer a reframe of the common "write the shitty first draft" advice? I like that advice a lot but I think the way it's often presented bounces off a lot of people and activates shit that does not help writing happen.
I think of the first draft as an armature.
If I was making a beautiful bronze statue, I would need to make a clay model first. And, depending on the shape, before I even got out my clay I would need to get some good thick wire and create a basic shape for the clay to adhere to, so it doesn't all fall down. Once I have this essential 3D wire frame, I can start building and subtracting and refining.
But if I try to refine on just clay, it won't have enough of a core to hold it up. I'll sculpt a beautiful hand only to have the whole arm fall off and go smush.
The armature isn't the sculpture. It is the frame you build the sculpture around.
The first draft isn't the novel, it's a sort-of-novel-shaped thing that will hold up everything you build and beautify later.
Write the armature draft. Try to make it a good armature, instead of trying to make it a good novel before it's ready.
I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.
He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense
Y'know I'm so glad someone reminded me of this. Because this was also discussed.
My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.
Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.
He brought up people consensually hurting each other, didn't go for one of the obvious answers like boxing or body mods or something, no he went STRAIGHT TO BDSM and he DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE ACRONYM
