cultivate bird-forward language. "Im so happy!" -> "im so harpy". Now you are a bird also

THEY FASHION WEAPONS AND ARMOR OUT OF LEAVES, LAYERING THEM UNTIL THEY BECOME STRONGER THAN STEEL. IN A DIFFICULT FIGHT, THEY MAY PULL OUT THEIR OWN STINGER TO USE AS AN ADDITIONAL BLADE.

This is back on my dash! And listen, I love to see Amir Khusrau getting appreciation, but this translation ignores a lot. The original rhymes! And scans! And does playful things with register! And conveys a tone of affectionate banter between the two speakers, not least because it has them both addressing each other as sakhi (translated above as “girl”) in the last two lines. I think taking some liberties with line order is worth it to preserve more of the rest—and I think there’s a better translation of sakhi. And so:

He only visits once a year, I splurge big on him when he’s here, His kisses make my tastebuds tango. Who, bitch, your man? Nah, bitch, a mango.

PSA to fan creators who don't have a lot of regular contact with children: They are almost always bigger than you think. A 1-year-old baby may already be walking. A toddler is likely already hip-high. A 10-year-old may already be taller than at least one of their parents. A 14/15 year old may already have reached their adult height.

[ID: Painted clay figure of a horse with simplified features stood in a neutral pose. It is a mottled red/green/blue with a row of concentric circles along the side of its neck and body. End ID.]

Study of this Etruscan(?) bronze horse pendant. Massively exaggerated the colours.

reminders i need to like, tattoo on my brain:

1. if you feel judged and hurt by others, try sleeping

2. if you feel judgmental and resentful of others, try eating (the classics)

3. if you feel uncomfortable, try showering

4. if you feel directionless and afraid, go sit outside for a bit and maybe then you'll calm down. maybe even a walk if youre feelin crazy

5. take it easy, but by god, take it

oh and how could i forget. final boss. take your fucking medication
