Oh fuck I'm running late, I forgot I'm supposed to be hunted for sport today

[greelin]

sorry to hear that you haven’t been feeling all that great lately. Do you want me to hunt you for sport

[greelin]

no worries if not. will be thinking of you regardless

When people get a little too gung-ho about-

wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?

ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.

That’s…wild. What was I talking about?

The amount of disbelief I’m willing to suspend is directly proportional to how entertaining the show is. If a show is barely able to hold my attention and has betrayed my trust before, fuck you, that’s not how cutting someone’s head off works.

If I’m glued to my seat every week and can’t stop watching, then yes, absolutely, the professional athlete in a blond wig is indistinguishable from the 17 year old lead actress.

I sure hope pulling "the lever that makes you feel bad" doesn't make me feel bad

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

Shoutout to people in the notes also mentioning people learning the language, I should've mentioned that really, given that I've been stuck reading German picture books myself while learning German.

[dwarfwithadoohickey]

This struck me when learning languages as a teen. I had a German language class where the teacher basically taught it like a kindergarten/first grade class in German and it was just. really weird. And ineffective teaching methodology.

my bad. turns off my perpetual motion dog catapulting machine

When I was like a sophomore in highschool I was walking from school to the mall and saw one of my friends walking ahead of me with one of their friends I didn't know as well but had a bit of a crush on, so I called out to them and they turned around and the one I was crushing on yelled "it's the mouse man!" and they both started running away.

That's definitely stuck with me.

did you know that if you try the insomniacs gambit but you take adhd meds during the time you wish you were waking up in the morning then roughly 3-5 hours later your consciousness will begin walking the valley between life and death as your body shambles forward an unyeilding husk too tired to live and too animated to rest

The word you are looking for is an ensemble cast. You like the ensemble cast. Not found family.

[emperor-gaozu-of-han]

getting followed by porn bots is weird and that’s coming from a guy with multiple 🥵 concubines

[emperor-gaozu-of-han]

[emperor-gaozu-of-han]

[qin-shi-huang-di]

[diet-poison]

the Terracotta Army guy?

[qin-shi-huang-di]

🙄 you build ONE funerary complex with 8000 life-sized statues of soldiers, horses and generals and suddenly you’re “the terracotta army guy.” 🙄 execution.

[slimlimit]
