“Growing up in a family with emotionally immature parents is a lonely experience. These parents may look and act perfectly normal, caring for their child’s physical health and providing meals and safety. However, if they don’t make a solid emotional connection with their child, the child will have a gaping hole where true security might have been. The loneliness of feeling unseen by others is as fundamental a pain as physical injury, but it doesn’t show on the outside. Emotional loneliness is a vague and private experience, not easy to see or describe. You might call it a feeling of emptiness or being alone in the world. Some people have called this feeling existential loneliness, but there’s nothing existential about it. If you feel it, it came from your family.”

hey guys friendly reminder from your fave Canadian that esk*mo is a slur so please don’t use it!

I see it usually in the context of “esk*mo kisses” which may pop up when people talk about their ships and their headcanon, but it means “snow eaters” in cree and is a slur against Inuit people so please just don’t use it!

and I would appreciate if u reblogged this because people outside Canada don’t seem to know this for the most part

[nanyangosaurus]

Also if you want to refer to ‘‘eskimo kisses’‘ and not use that term the Inuit term for it is ‘‘kunik’‘. It’s a traditional greeting usually between relatives or a child and an adult, although it’s a little different from nose kisses so most Canadians call it ‘‘Inuit kiss’‘ and I’ve heard other people call it ‘‘bunny kisses’’. Either way there’s no excuse to use ‘‘eskimo’‘ in this context or another.

[gh0st-city]

Friendly reminder from this Canadian cryptid not to be a dickbag and respect native Americans by no referring to them with slurs

[bug-inmyeye]

The use of Eskimo is really interesting because I have a feeling it’s a lot like n***er for black folks. I’ve seen the term eskimo used in history books and at old museum exhibits, but replaced in recent editions or remodels, so it’s obviously a term that is no longer politically correct in that context. BUT it is not uncommon for folks from those communities (in this case, northern Alaskan Inupiaq people) to sometimes refer to themselves as eskimo. I haven’t really sorted out the reasoning for why and when it’s still used but it’s not used an an insult. In a lot of books from native people’s point of view, they use the terms Indian and Eskimo to describe their villages and people. So what I’m saying is, I definitely think you need to be aware of the words you use regarding indigenous people, and if you’re not sure, just ask!

[lackaday]

Hullo! I’m an Alaskan Native (Inupiaq actually) and I can clear up a little bit of the confusion. Not a whole lot, but a little. 

In Alaska, “eskimo” isn’t considered a slur to natives from northern (and some coastal) areas in Alaska, and is a label we often use for ourselves. I say northern areas because “eskimo” doesn’t typically refer to all AK natives. Which is why you’ll see “alaska natives” being used instead of “eskimos” when referring to all native people in the state. Eskimo usually refers to native people from the upper half of Alaska, but to my knowledge doesn’t include the Athabaskans who live partially in Alaska’s interior and partially elsewhere. Native people from the lower half of Alaska won’t necessarily be offended if you call them eskimos, but they might think it a weird word choice. Some textbooks call southern AK natives “indians”, but please don’t use that word if you’re not from those groups. Just go for some variation of “alaska native” or “northern native”.

All this said, “eskimo” is considered a slur in Canada and Greenland. I don’t know if it’s considered a slur in Russia, but there are also northern native people from the same groups who live there too. Given all that when talking online, defaulting to “northern native” would be the most polite way to go! And if you’re uncertain when talking to someone who is native, go ahead and ask what the person prefers!

tl;dr -

Eskimo is okay in Alaska (but doesn’t refer to everyone up here) and is a slur almost everywhere else. Better to use “northern native” instead!

Believe it or not that stuff costs the company money to have and they need to ring it out to keep their inventory balanced. The first one is even accounted for, it’s just baked into the price of your meal so you don’t see it. So yeah, any additional sauces will cost extra.

During Boromir’s death scene in the Fellowship of the Ring film, you a hear a choir in the soundtrack. The choir isn’t singing random vowel sounds; they’re actually singing in Elvish.

The English translation of the lyrics? It’s a line from the books: “I do not love the sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only what they defend.”

For bonus hurt points– in the book, those lines were said by his little brother Faramir.

It’s interesting to me when someone dies and their Wikipedia page almost immediately becomes past tense. Who does that? Is that someone’s job? Is it the grim reaper?

I walk into the bank with an open laptop and tell them to give me all the money in the vault, or else I edit Bill Murray’s Wikipedia page. 12 SWAT guys come in and shoot me in the nuts when I ask the teller what the WiFi password is

i’ve definitely told you about this before but my dad and my uncle have this whole star wars vs star trek rivalry where they’ll get each other passive aggressive gifts (my dad is a star wars fan, and will always get my uncle star wars merch. my uncle claims star trek is so much better and star wars is lame. he will always get my father star trek merch. this has been going on since my parents got married.) 

this is going to be a good year for arguing 

[lesbianshepard]

my uncle just arrived. my mom shouted “kids, uncle rich is here!” my dad bellowed “MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU” down the stairs. my uncle shouted back “YOU CANT SEE IT BUT IM GIVING YOUR DOG THE VULCAN SALUTE” i love christmas here

[lesbianshepard]

dinner was alright until over dessert my dad brought up “so, richie, you see the new star wars movie” until it devolved into a wine fueled shouting match. highlights include “WELL AT LEAST WE DIDNT HAVE JAR JAR GODDAMNED BINKS” “AT LEAST WE DIDNT BLOW UP–” “YES YOU DID. FIRST MOVIE. YOU BLEW UP A PLANET” “shit”

[lesbianshepard]

this years argument, like every year before it, ended with “nice to see you.” and them slapping each other on the back which i think is a guy way of hugging goodbye.
