Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation

[drarry]

This is the Pride Month that It will happen. I feel it in my gay bones

My favourite translator said that when she was an ambassador for Hungary she took all these Japanese politicians on a tour and she was trying to circumtranslate ‘merry go round’ cause she didn’t know the Japanese word for it by calling it a ‘horse tornado for children’ and they had no blessed idea what she was saying and she finally started running in circles going up and down and they go ‘ohhhhh, in Japan we call those ‘merry-go-rounds’”

my Spanish teacher has like 8 warnings plus warnings on every assignment to never use translators but like

there’s no way she isn’t aware that they’re kinda needed??? Lingrohub fucking loves to put in words that aren’t in the vocab list. Like pongo is used in this first page, the literal vocab page, and there’s no explanation or translation for it. Or for solo or siempre. Unless there’s a dictionary I’m missing in lingeohub and I should be looking up every single word that lingro can’t be assed to translate?? And fucking when they add in new words in verbal quixes like?? Dude I don’t know what that fucking word is

hell the teach even says you shouldn’t use words learned outside of class but how am I supposed to remember what came from lingro and what came from language transfer?? Like?? There’s no way she doesn’t know right??

[youcanstillwhistle]

I think the "pre" and "post" parts in "preposterous" should cancel each other out but everyone else seems to find my idea completely erous

[weidli]

we were talking about the criminalization of homosexuality in class and my professor (who as far as i know isn't in any way queer) said something i quite enjoyed in that. well the exchange was more or less this: a student asked a question (doesn't really matter what exactly just know that i was rolling my eyes So hard internally) and the prof looked at the student and was like (i'm paraphrasing here this conversation was not in english) Do you have any queer friends? and the student went Uhhhh in a manner that made it clear the answer was probably no and the prof said Actually statistically speaking you most likely do. If I had to divide this room into two groups the way to do it would not be "people with queer friends" and "people without queer friends" it would be "people whose queer friends are out to them" and "people whose queer friends aren't". And if you're in the latter category you should consider why that is--if maybe your behavior is indicating to the queer people around you that you're not safe to come out to. to come back to your question if you really want to know about queerness there's a very simple way of doing that: you make yourself a person queer people feel comfortable talking to about their experiences and then you fucking listen to them when they do (the fuck is not paraphrased) (there was a fuck involved) (frankly king shit)

I hope when you descend to the lowest circle of hell, the ashes of your dearest loved ones staining your eyes red, that it will sting, and the pain will remind you of me before you are reduced to the nothingness of nonexistence.

[curiositysavesthecat]

Do you think it's weird and/or predatory for a 13 year-old and a 30 year-old to be best friends if they're not family members or related by blood? Assuming everything is innocent and platonic. Nothing romantic or sexual.

Yes, it's weird and predatory

It's weird. But not predatory

It's predatory. But not weird

No, it's not weird or predatory

unpopular opinion but I don't think there's anything weird or predatory about an innocent friendship

[dianxiacantastemolecules]

The question is why the fuck is a thirty year old hanging out with a 13 year old if not in their family?? The only other relation that could have them interact is through teacher/student and bring friends like that would be weird as fuck

[creelson]

found family? the kid not feeling safe in their house? the adult wanting to help? family / teacher / school isn't always a guaranteed safe place. should the kid and adult each have friends that are their own age too? sure. but if their friendship is genuinely innocent then I think the problem isn't them but people who project their weird and predatory thoughts onto them

[the-bar-sinister]

Don't forget shared hobbies?

A 13 year old and a 30 year old could reasonably meet at a tabletop gaming store, a fiber arts group, a book club....

[audacityinblack]

They could literally just be neighbors. This whole isolationist thing of never even talking to the people you live closest to is new and weird.

[moniquill]

It is important to human social development to have extra-parental adults as advisors and role models!

[hollowedskin]

Look the 13yo which has safe and healthy relationships with other adults that are not part of their family, they're probably safer than kids that don't because they have someone outside of their closed circle to ask for help.

Also stop pretending that kids are fucking aliens ffs, or that they're babies until they hit the magical age of 18! A 13yo is just as funny, creative, and thoughtful as anyone else, they don't unlock new ways of thinking or feeling, all the software is on board! Teenagers and kids are fully human and I am so sick of people acting as though a kid has nothing to offer in a friendship and that their presence must be a burden to everyone!!!

Youth lib is treating kids as human beings, and by isolating kids and young people from everyone who isn't their own age or an authority, you put them at more risk! Adult friends model appropriate behaviour, allowing the young person (who is at risk of manipulation and abuse due to limited life experience, not because they're a little baby who's brain isn't formed yet) to know when behaviour from adults is inappropriate.

A young person with adult friends can also approach them and go "hey Alex is making me feel really uncomfortable, is that weird or am I overreacting" and have their friend go "Alex is doing what?? No you're absolutely not overreacting, you don't have to put up with that." And help them get out of a situation before it develops.
