Boys who are sex-repulsed/don’t enjoy sex/are too uncomfortable to have sex - you’re doing an amazing job at coping in a society that associates your maleness with having strong sexual desires. You are valid, you are loveable, you are not ‘weird’ for not fitting into the stereotype of men wanting sex all time.

A bit "last minute" I decided I wanted to model, print, and paint a bunch of pebble Rockies and take them with me to a convention. They are very small, fit in a closed fist, and brought joy to 10 Grace cosplayers, 2 Rocky cosplayers, and 2 vendors selling PHM-themed merch. It was fun hunting down PHM cosplayers with a bunch of Rockies in my bag waiting to be gifted away! Even if I don't think I got to them all
For the love of god if your native language is different from the majority language of the country you’re living in don’t raise your baby speaking the local language. Either have each parent speak to them in a different language or only speak your native language at home. The kid will be okay. Get your native language in their head. You may think you’re helping them in the long term giving them the local language but no. When they’re an adult they’ll wonder why you never taught them your language. They can and will learn the local language in school. They’ll be okay. Produce more bilingual children. They are good for society.
And also, being bilingual helps with executive function. Not all kids have to reach the same language development at the same time as everyone else, it’s okay to have your kid speaking in more complex sentences a month or so later than the “normal” kids.
I've studied the science linguistically but I'd like to put that aside. PLEASE teach your kid the native language. It can go so much deeper than "wondering why", it can create a schism-like pain when you know there's a heritage you have but all access has been cut off. Yes, ALL. If you're fortunate enough to visit the country of your native language but dont teach your kid, they will be miserable, quiet, and alone, and go through difficult phases of hating that heritage because the ladders were cut for them.
And in the United States, this starts young. I've seen teachers tell a Kazakhstani parent that she should tell her kid to speak English INSTEAD. The kid was 2 and a half. A friend's five year old told him "Dad this is America we dont speak Chinese". If you don't teach your kid your native language this country will wrest all pride and heritage from them by force. An occasional visit or two to the home country will not stop the bleeding.
The pain of not speaking the language of my heritage is something I don't wish on anyone. And that language is one of the most spoken in the world, imagine if your native language is rarer. What happens? What happens?
I was an ordinary native Hindi speaker until I was 6, and my Year 1 teacher contacted my parents. Don't speak anything but English to her, because she's already behind.
and my parents listened, not because they had no pride in their heritage, because they were unsure immigrants in a racist country raising a child 5000 miles from home. White people explain their ways are best. So it goes.

this best thing about this is the meme format conditions you to expect a follow up statement and it’s absence contributes to a sense of stillness, simulating the experience of just sitting in your truck

any facts on linguistics to offer to us?
Linguistics is the study of linguists, and why they chose to pursue careers in languages, translation, and/or linguini. Linguistics dates back to the Tower of Babel, when new languages sprang into being so that one day, Neal Stephenson could use them as a plot point in a sci-fi novel.
The modern world by contrast has well over six languages, including Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and West Frisian Dutch. People who can speak only one of these are called monoglots, people who speak a few are called polyglots, and people who know every language are called omniglots, or colloquially, “show-off jerks.”
Most people are of course, monoglots, and thus their seeds contain only a single embryonic leaf. Monoglots are also more prone to catching mononucleosis, which is a very catchy song by Schoolyard Heroes.
In conclusion, linguistics is by far the sexiest sounding blanket term for less sexy words like “syntax” and “phonology.”
Earth’s Scapegoat and her Sacrificial Lamb
behold: my wangjangled book rocky plushie! he's definitely rough around the edges and I do still need to make his shirt, but considering I kinda winged the whole thing and this is basically my first ever actual sewing project, I think he came out okay!
fun facts about him and about making him:
- his carapace is about 30 cm in diameter and his arms + hands are about 45 cm long each. I don't think either of those were the original intended measurements
- he took about 16 hours in total, including making a pattern and figuring out what the heck I was doing (the most experience I have sewing is hand sewing patches onto a jacket and the very bad mini rocky I made out of t-shirt scraps the other day)
- said "pattern" he was made from was a collection of pages of old latin notes taped together and cut out. it would be gracious to say anything made sense or was actually measured right. or measured at all
- the original pattern was for movie rocky, but I messed up the dimensions and the carapace ended up looking like book rocky when stuffed, so I switched directions and eyeballed patterns for his legs, hands, fingers, and radiator vents on top from my heart and soul. little maths were involved and I did not know the relative dimensions his arms and hands would be compared to each other or the rest of his body. the concept of symmetry was nowhere to be found. why did I do it that way you may ask? good question. my current theory is that I did not take my adhd medication that morning
- I had access to exactly one entire pin. basically nothing was pinned down while being sewed. I also didn't have a seam ripper
- a good few pieces of him were handsewn and I only had two sewing needles. one broke right as I started the largest section of hand sewing, and the other was bent the whole time
- this is the first time I've properly used a sewing machine in, like, over a decade. I'm pretty sure the last time I used a sewing machine was when I was 8 or so and being taught how to use one for the first time. and I, of course, remembered nothing of that. I learned how to put the bobbin in like like two days ago
- he is very huggable and his arms are long enough to be able to reach around a persons torso and "hug" them back
- I love him very very much
