Willy Wonka and the OSHA Regulations

You could have just… not learned our language. It’s not like Americans are desperate to talk to you

See I have this condition called "having any kind of upward mobility in my country is very hard without an english proficiency level of at least B2", I wish it wasn't this way but it's an affliction that sadly affects millions of people in most non-anglo countries in the world.

I love how it flew compeltely past your thick yankee skull that learning english is not something people do for shits and giggles or because we want to come talk to y'all on yankee social media. You think I learned your language so I could come hang out with you on tumblr dot com? I learned it because in most places in the world speaking it is a requirement for the vast majority of non-dead-end jobs. But of course your people are unable to imagine any situation where someone learns a language for any reason other than for funsies. As I said, monolingual anglophones are a deeply solipsistic people.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Anglos will say shit like "uhm you could just not learn a second language 🤷‍♀️" and think they're refuting the existence of their linguistic imperialism instead of proving how insanely sheltered they are compared to everyone else in the world.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

All public universities in my country admit and reject people based on their score on a national standardized test, which features an English module that's worth 1/5 of your final score. This makes not having at least a basic level of English proficiency a major barrier for accessing higher education but yeah, I could have "just... not learned your language" I guess, yeah.

Context for anyone who is wondering: Lamine Yamal's parents won an UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot in which Barça players posed with kids, and 5 month old Lamine happened to get 20yo Messi. Which is like. Literally insane

hearing anything about the nolan odyssey is so funny. it's like "they cut the extremely important and infamous nobody scene" "the cyclops is a giant puppet that they put in an actual historical cave + gave circe animatronics for her pig transformation instead of cgi" "they dumped plastic skeletons in an environmentally protected location they were not supposed to be in" "they recreated ancient greek instruments in order to have an accurate score" "all of odysseus's agency is basically gone" "anne hathaway actually learned how to weave ancient looms" "the women in this movie are treated like shit" "they actually buried actors alive to get those underworld shots" "did you see what the fuck zendaya was fucking wearing holy shit you can't DO THAT, MA'AM" "what do you mean there was a legitimate epic the musical reference" "NOT A SINGLE FUCKING GREEK WAS CAST IN THIS MOVIE"

like did nolan have two guys standing at his side at all times whispering ideas in his ear and one told the truth and the other told lies and they didnt tell him which was which until they wrapped production cause

I want to learn more exclamations that aren’t strictly just religious stuff. “Jesus Christ” this, “oh my god” that, nah I want something fresh.

What are some of y’all’s favorite exclamations that aren’t about god?

(Prompt submission) Grace's Eridian doctors are large animal veterinarians. There are some awkward adjustment periods.

THIS 🤣🤣 imagining the absolutely bonkers kinds of eridians that must have been yoinked from their jobs to suddenly be in charge of keeping the FIRST SAPIENT ALIEN EVER alive brings me cackling-maniacally levels of glee. yes, please tell me more about the eridian lab tech who does the boring, monotonous cataloguing of bacterial glycosyltransferase enzymes suddenly having their space phone BLOWING UP. random eridian who's job is just. feeding and wrestling the big terrestrial predators at the zoo into taking their meds is suddenly missing from work, later found to be kidnapped and taken to Eridian WHO headquarters with new job of putting pills in peanut butter for rocky's new alien pal. thank you thank you!

[normal-creature]

op your tags pass peer review

[eclipseyeger]

the funniest part is Erid JUST learned about space, or at least just recently got access to it, and Rocky hasn't even been gone one metric Eridian childhood. Erid just learns about space, just learns there is a CELL that can fuckin survive out there somehow, and whatever generation of Eridians that grew up with or reached adulthood with their equivalent of retrofuturism haven't had much time at all with it by their standards. The genre is probably still fighting between excitement and horror.

So you have all these adults trying to keep the kids from panicking and trying to keep the young adults giving a shit about anything at all, the adults haven't even digested that space life forms exist yet,

And suddenly hundreds of them get pulled for the biodome. And also the Hail Mary. And also the Taumoeba. And also all the human data ON the Hail Mary, which is basically like getting handed everything that was EVER written down in everything from journals to newspapers across the entire ass globe from like 1400 to 2000, but with a biological language barrier.

And THAT defines the rest of the eridian futurism genre going forward.

Every adult gets asked "where were you when the human ship arrived?" And every child for the next thousand years gets dead eyed stares of "oh my god you weren't born yet when Savior Grace arrived..."

Adding on OP's very fun descriptive tags!

I would frankly read an entire second novel about these kinds of shenanigans, statement.

Also, I have a small headcanon that Grace - eventually, maybe even very very very eventually - clocks that his Eridian care team did not, strictly speaking, all sign on as volunteers. Cue flashbacks to the wild old days with the Petrova Taskforce...

And then, various Eridians who interact with Grace directly are mildly baffled and rather endeared when their one (1) alien specimen attempts to clumsily discern whether they're being forced to take care of him under duress, and if there's anything he can do or anyone he can talk to so that no one working to help him is doing so against their will.

[ryan-sometimes]

I love how Zohran Mamdani is wearing a suit everywhere. And if he has anything else he puts it ON TOP of the suit. A basketball jersey. A high-vis vest. All worn over the suit. He’s like the mayor character in a cartoon who’s always dressed as The Mayor. If I didn’t know who he was and he biked past me in NYC I’d be like holy shit was that the mayor

[mankillercalledbunny]

Not to bring the serious to a very fun post, but this reaction is exactly what Mamdani is working for with his image, because in a very real way the most effective way for him to be The Mayor is if he looks like The Mayor.

This is a man who is VIOLENTLY aware that when it comes to conservatives, he is a Muslim first, a Brown Man second, an Immigrant third, a Socialist fourth, and a human a very distant fifth, if considered at all. He was also a young adult during the Obama Years and will have seen Republicans rip Obama to shreds for wearing a tan suit instead of a dark one and use literally ANY excuse they could to try and degrade his image.

Despite the fact that a mayor who wears a T-shirt and jeans might "seem more approachable" in the eyes of the average American, Zohran Mamdani knows that someone with his profile fundamentally cannot get away with that the way his White colleagues can. He has instead put in the effort to look professional and BE approachable, because not only does it make it easier for him to reach and represent his constituents, it forces everyone, including both his opponents and establishment Democrats, to engage with the work he is doing instead of judging his image. The fact that he is always seen in a suit and is recognisably The Mayor is, while also something he has fun with, a deliberate choice to ensure he is as inarguably A Professional Politician To Be Taken Seriously. The added humour of e.g. the hi-vis is a bonus, only achievable because he works so hard to Look Like The Mayor.

Adding these tags from @haunted-stranger-garden bc they illustrate this brilliantly

[freddieandersen]

Today he jumped into and swam around in a city pool, in part because Bloomberg would jump in on opening day every year (and then de Blasio and Adams refused to do so). And yes, in a suit— business suit, not swimsuit, purchased from goodwill for pool purposes— just to confirm that the Mayor Costume stays on in ALL public appearances
