we bought a shirt at a thrift store that says "best mom in louisiana" for some reason (as a reminder we are in midwest germany) and now my spouse keeps walking around the house wearing it and saying shit like "WHO STANDS BEFORE THE GREATEST MOM OF LOUISIANA?"
You know Jones soda cap, as a tumblr user i can actually say i think I have.
What a lovely little post you have here! *Drinks up its wordjuice to add it to my lexicon like some form of Vernacula*
*Sinks my teeth into your vocabillaries*
This is why I love indie productions so much.
i cant believe that there's still gamergate STANK on games that women enjoy. NASTY misogyny residue. stardew valley is in fact a video game. animal crossing is also a video game. so are otome games and dating sims and twee little cozy games. sometimes a bitch doesnt wanna play bloodborne that shit's hard
guys who mainly play 2k and fortnite will still be like oh youre not a real gamer for having 1000 hours in stardew. mother fucker you're larping as a basketball player
Another horrible merch idea straight from my brain. I woke up in the middle of the night to draw this.
I would unironically love this
so anyway yeah iron lung and project hail mary both very good
needing to take a shower: worst feeling in the world getting into the shower: hardest task in the world being in the shower: đżđ§źđđ§´đŤ§ getting out of the shower: second hardest task in the world being out of the shower: (soft hair) (soft skin) (cozy towel) (clean clothes) why is getting into the shower always so hard. i should remember this feeling (most beautiful feeling in the world) next time i need to take a shower
Someone asked me a while ago if I still had a photo of the worst sink I had ever seen while apartment hunting in Los Angeles. I assumed I deleted it so I didn't answer the ask and now it's gone, but as it turns out, yes, I do still have a photo of it.
just got asked "sorry, are you a man or a woman?" over the phone and I just said "ahh that's not important right now" but when I got off the phone I went TEEEE HEEE HEEEEE and skipped around. very masculine behaviour. never beating the nonbinary allegations am I
saying "it's okay. I'm only human" before glancing at a nonexistent audience with a slight smirk and a twinkle in my eye (the twinkle is an asterisk) (when you go to read the footnote attached it just says "in the beautiful garden of his imagination he is also another thing as well")
i do wonder how mamdani would have solved a problem like the green goblin
I donât get why min-maxing mindset language learners are so concerned about beginners learning âuselessâ vocabulary. Thatâs the fun stuff.
Also what if someoneâs language goals are wizard related? How are we supposed to seduce non English speaking wizards if we donât learn the magic jargon?
A lot of these people are also the type to focus in on the top 1,000 words list but those are also slightly useless sometimes.
One of those lists Iâve looked at for Spanish has puerto (port) on it and be honest how often do ports come up in your daily conversations?
Doesnât mean that puerto is a useless word to learn early on. It just means that min-maxing language learning makes people lose perspective on the point of learning a language in the first place. Exchanging information about port wizards.
tbf I don't think I've ever encountered a language min-maxxer, but it seems to me that prioritizing the top 1,000 words would lead to major difficulty in constructing coherent sentences
Thereâs a large chunk of the online language learning community that prioritizes statistics and being able to clumsily force their way through basic small talk over any other use of language.
And like if thatâs what you want thatâs fine but the problem is that they try to get everyone else on board with their way of thinking.
Theyâve also often bought into the âfluent in three monthsâ lie and think that being at basic survival level in a language makes them good at it.
And like thereâs nothing wrong with just wanting to get to basic survival level especially if youâre unexpectedly moving or for tourism purposes but thatâs not everyoneâs end goal.
Personally Iâm in language learning for culture and love of the process so âuselessâ vocabulary is part of the point in my case.
this heatwave fucking sucks how am I going to serve my liege like this
im never leaving this hellsite
parents are allowed to straight-up torture their kids with zero consequences. they can withhold food and water, lock you out of shelter, confiscate your belongings, bar you from human contact, attack and harm you and exert complete control over your physical appearance. and this is just the norm. if you speak out against it you're seen as a delinquent or a predator. even otherwise progressive people get uncomfortable with the idea of dismantling the nuclear family unit because they still see it as the best way to keep kids safe when that simply couldn't be further from the truth. it's evil.
This is also part of why I'm so loud about homeschool reform, specifically in the USA.
In the US, there is no meaningful legal definition for educational/academic neglect in any of the 50 states or federally. What this means is that a child can be "homeschooled" and exclusively be taught how to cook and clean, reach the age of 18 being unable to read, write, or count, and this alone is not considered neglect. That 18yo, should they even have the knowledge that suing exists, has no legal grounds to sue their parents for denying them an education.
In over 40 US states, a convicted child abuser can homeschool their children. So someone who has done time for child abuse and somehow regains access to their child(ren) can decide upon returning home that they want to "homeschool" their kids. Those children are now locked in a home with their abuser where nobody can see them.
There are no welfare checks.
There are no routine assessments.
There aren't even databases â state or federal â keeping track of how many homeschooled kids there actually are.
Meaning a child can be locked in their home for their entire life with their convicted abuser, learn absolutely nothing, never go to the doctor, and so long as that child is fed, clothed, and the abuse isn't physical or sexual, that child has almost no chance of rescue and no legal ground to seek restitution if/when they escape.
The only way homeschooled children get rescued is if they're beaten, starved, or physically neglected and they're able to get the right person to see that. Otherwise? They have to wait until someone finds out they were murdered as a result of their parents "homeschooling".
And feral homeschool parents love to jump down my throat about this, and then get even more pissed when I tell them I'm a homeschool alumni.
Because I know it's not all homeschoolers. But even one is too many, and the lack of protections should scare everyone. If you're a good homeschool parent, nothing will change. If not, you deserve whatever comes your way as a result of adequate oversight.
Children deserve rights.
It's not all homeschoolers... but it's certainly most of the homeschoolers who don't want protections and regulation. The ones who are homeschooling for the right reasons benefit from guidelines and benchmarks being in place.
