happy pride to everyone but them

[batshit-auspol]

Occasionally as an Australian you'll be talking to someone from overseas, and you'll discover a common phrase you took for granted is, in fact, not universally known outside of our country.

Turns out casually dropping "fuck me dead" into conversation will give unsuspecting Americans an aneurism.

The more you know.

[batshit-auspol]

Imagine being on a work call with an Aussie and they suddenly announce they're gonna blow a load in response to a problem.

[fred-the-dinosaur]

Not Aussie but I asked an American once if she was taking the piss ( i.e. pulling my leg, joking. Perfectly cromulent and friendly english expression)

and she got really upset because she thought I was threatening to piss ON her

[honiibbang]

This is killing me

[batshit-auspol]

Rifling through the tags, here's some other terms which are apparently causing mass carnage whenever they escape our borders:

Having a goon (i.e. Sipping on a delightful wine)

Having a gaytime (Eating an icecream)

Having a sticky beak (Investigating)

Take a squiz (To have a sticky beak)

Get stuffed (To express a revelation is most frightful)

Chuck a sickie (Take a day off work due to the humours being misaligned)

Chuck a wobbly (When one's temperament becomes visibly upset)

Carry on like a pork chop (Acting most silly indeed)

Thongs (flip flops)

Hot chook (Pre-cooked supermarket rotisserie chicken, otherwise known as the Bachelor's Handbag)

Fair suck of the sauce bottle (Let's be real)

Shits me to tears (Something is mildly annoying)

Not here to fuck spiders (Expressing a situation is serious)

Having a piss-up (A social gathering)

I'll shout you (offering to goon an old chum)

A cruisy place (a relaxed atmosphere, where one might shout and goon the night away while enjoying many a gaytime in your favourite thongs)

Some usamerican friends of mine recently learned the Aussie meaning of snail trail (the line of hair from the bellybutton heading south). They were horrified to say the least

[wizardjail]

i mean, you know, people are entitled to their sexual proclivities. let there be a thousand blossoms bloom, as far as i'm concerned. but i ain't spending any time on it, because in the meantime, every three months, a person's torn to pieces by maenads in thebes

Nigerian Pride 🏳️‍🌈🇳🇬

I meant to have this out yesterday. Happy belated pride. :)

[sunflowersosa]

I'm glad you all like the Nigeria Pride post!

Originally, I went in worried the opposite would happen. Growing up, I've been taught that Nigeria, the country, is homophobic. (I was born in America.) But over time, I learned that there's tons of other queer Nigerians; some are out, and some are in the closet 😭.

I'm also not used to this much attention, lol

Thank you all!

Ghosts are not real. If you want to believe in ghosts, you should contemplate why. It is important to understand how history moves through you, because history is very real.

[cryptotheism]

Belief in ghosts has always been particularly interesting to me, because its often very weak. There have been multiple instances where I've questioned someone about their belief in ghosts, only for it to be packed up and put away like a box of legos. This is interesting.

Belief in ghosts is a low risk, low investment belief. It takes up almost no money or time, and generally doesn't come up all that often. So, like a night light forgotten in some out-of-the-way wall socket, it can sit unmolested in an adult worldview for a surprising amount of time.

He ate and drank in a special way

[cryptotheism]

Listening to an audiobook of Faust. Specifically the Martin Greenberg translation. Barely 25% into part 1 and it's already goated. I keep expecting Mephistopheles to break out into a jaunty big band jazz number.

[cryptotheism]

Okay I got part 1. Part 2 was a lot harder. Maybe I am stupid.

[bill-blake-fans-anonymous]

You’re not stupid. The general literary consensus on Part 2 seems to be that it’s a heap of wacky bullshit interesting only to Goethe scholars. In Part 2 he wanders away from the precepts of effective drama and just writes whatever his fevered little philosophical heart desires—and not even in the fun Joycean way, but in a way that gets very hard to read. My first translation of Faust, the Walter Kaufmann, doesn’t even bother to translate Part 2 in full; Kaufmann just does a general summary of the whole play with interspersed excerpts, then translates the final scene in full because that’s got the most exciting part (Faust actually dying, being redeemed, Mephisto being gay for the angels of the Lord)

[cryptotheism]

I gotta say I was not expecting Faust to get redeemed because Mephisto was distracted looking at cute male angels.

[bill-blake-fans-anonymous]

By the way, when I say "Mephisto being gay for the angels of the Lord," it makes it sound like I'm using standard tumblr hyperbole to describe a scene that is only potentially homoerotic. I am not. Snippet of Mephistopheles's speech from the last scene of Faust Part 2, translated by Walter Kaufmann:

"...Is this indeed love's element? The entire body is aflame, I scarcely feel how my poor neck is rent.— You hover there, come down: I feel a passion; Please move your lovely limbs in a more worldly fashion! There's merit in your serious style; But just for once I'd like to see you smile! That would put me in an eternal trance. I mean the way that human lovers glance; Just move your lips, that's all—not in disgust! You, tall one, are the fairest boy I've ever seen; But what is unbecoming is your popish mean: Do look at me with just a little lust! You might be nude and still of decent mind, The flowing shroud is much too moralizing; They turn around—I see them from behind! The little rogues are all-too-appetizing!"

opinions on "duuuude what if magic was psychedelic drugs this whole time"

Frowns professionally. Well some of it was psychedelic drugs. The production and management of psychoactive substances was the basis of many elements of Greek magic, and likely produced the archetypical pharmakon. Looks away in a way that makes me look handsome. It was mostly other stuff though.
