Pinning this because it’s honestly my best work

I wish there was some way to properly express my frustration when I see people make constant jokes about "ragebaiting Mexicans/PR/etc by calling them Latinx" because not only are they using it as a way to further put down brown people and frame them as "outdated/stupid" and "politically incorrect" but it also does the inverse where it makes fun of them because they're (rightfully) upset with you for using a term they don't want you to use. Latinx is an American term, it was coined/popularized by english speaking online spaces in the US while completely ignoring the fact that Latinx is barely pronounceable in spanish, AND the actual queer grassroots movements started by Latine groups. There's this overall violent presence with Americanized (white) queers and how they attempt to enforce their colonialist mindsets on other parts of the world (and also their own non-white communities) because it's seen as "more progressive" and that the Black and brown people need "educating" and I'm so so tired of it.

Goldstar lesbians are so strong for never having succumbed to the pressure of being with men ⭐💞⭐⭐

Non-goldstar lesbians are so strong for having experienced the trauma of being with men and kept surviving 💕💕🎉💕

Lesbians are so strong 💕🎉💞💕

I had previously seen the bottom image with zero context like 5 times before finally finding the context post and that’s why I love tumblr.

Period pain is so funny when you remember that the biological function of pain is to alert you to something wrong in your body. Yep, uterus, I know something’s up, you’ve been doing this every 4 weeks since I was 11, but thank you for the message.

Is that seriously how latte is spelled as gaeilge

[gayeilgeoir]

Loanword: Latte (Italian for milk) borrowed into English with no spelling change

Calque: loanword (from the German, Lehnwort) where the root of the word is translated into the language (lehn-loan wort-word)

Nativisation: when a loanword is changed to meet the phonetic criteria of a language (latte-látte)

Irish utilises the last one very often, because it’s such an old language that we lack words for a lot of things.

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.

irish as a language is so fun. we have so few words and so we have to get funky with it. oh, a fox? i think you mean 'madra rua' (red dog) you wanna talk to me about birds? barn owls perhaps? why, yes, the 'scréachóg reilige' (graveyard screamer) and, my personal fav, you're really tired? oh, you poor thing. i think you might have the tiredness of the world on you (tá tuirseach an domhain ort)
