I’m kind of glad to hear that everyone does this. Because it means it isn’t colonizer bullshit, it’s what everyone does. It’s just people discovering new things. Everyone goes:

“Oh hey these people have their own style of [language A’s word for thing. Say, what do you call it?”

“Oh it’s [language B’s word for thing].”

“Got it, it’s [language B’s word for thing] variety [language A’s word for thing]”

“the-tea-from-where-tea-is-called-by-this-name” “the-bread-from-where-bread-is-called-by-this-name” how is that not a useful term?

This is seriously not colonizer bullshit, it’s just one of the common ways that loan words work.

I’m glad humans evolved to Boop the Snoot for Good Luck.

This is basically what my physical therapist had me do for my back problems last year and it helped with the pain so much! Also walk for at least thirty minutes a day, even if it's just in small chunks throughout the day.

THE WITCHER SEASON 2, ‘FAMILY’ “It was one of the few times in shooting the show where we all, kind of, felt like family. So, yeah, it was fun.”

WHHAT THE FUCJKSKS LMAKSKSKS

I looked up “Obi-Wan costume” to get some ideas for Halloween and—KSKSKDKSKAJJSKSK

👆

What in the Sith-blazing-hells is this—?!

Guys, someone has to draw Obi-Wan casually going into battle in this outfit.

Imagine—

Cody, shouting: I said more armor! What in the Sith-blazing-hells is this shit?

Obi-Wan, arms crossed: My body is my own, Commander Cody, and I will wear what I wish.

Cody: No due respect whatsoever, General Kenobi, but if you so much as sneeze in that outfit, your ass is going to be plastered all over the holonet.

Anakin smirking with a holocamera out: A little late for that, Commander.

Shamelessly adding my own version to this lovely post because all Obi-Wan’s in this outfit make the entire 212th bluescreen.

Simone Biles cheers on MyKayla Skinner, who replaced her in the Olympic Event Finals finals for Vault and received a silver medal.

I knew [Simone] was going to be the loudest one in there tonight.

I dedicate this medal to Simone. I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for her. I told her I would be doing this one for her. She said, ‘don’t do it for me, do it for yourself’, so technically it’s for all of us. (x)
