The Tell-Tale Heart, The Gift of the Magi, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavaras County, Thank You Ma'am
the box social by james reaney. i remember we all had to silently read it in class, and you would hear the moment everyone reached the Part because some people would audibly go “what”
wHat did I just put my eyes on
“The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury
Not quite a short story, but read in class: “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street” from The Twilight Zone
Harrison Bergeron, Cat and the Coffee Drinkers
“Where are you going and where have you been” by Joyce carol oates
“The Pedestrian” by Ray Bradbury
the lottery by shirley jackson
i can’t believe Roald Dahl’s “The Landlady” wasn’t already mentioned and also it’s not so much unsettling as more absurdist but “The Leader” by Eugene Ionesco definitely made me go wtf
Ett halvt ark papper. I cried so much.

A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury
I Have no Mouth, and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison

An Ordinary Day with Peanuts, by Shirley Jackson
Eh, this was more like community college, but The Star by Arthur C. Clarke
Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl
and this story that I can’t remember the name of and can’t find, though it might be by O. Henry? it’s about a bunch of demons who want to stop Santa Claus from going through with Christmas, and he must travel through the mountains they inhabit to escape their vices? (good christ I can’t remember the name for the life of me)
Ok but the laughing man and a good day for bananafish but j.d. Salinger
The City (195) Ray Bradbury. An intense commentary on colonialism and space exploration. I read it for a sci fi survey class.
Another short story I read in that sci fi class was Vaster than Empires and More Slow (1971) by Ursula K. Le Guin. A commentary on humanity and how human we believe ourselves to be. Also, an interesting commentary on mental health.
In the Woods Beneath the Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom, written in 1947 by Ango Sakaguchi. It made my skin crawl the first time I read it.
Also going to recommend For A Breath I Tarry by Roger Zelazny, a commentary on whether AI can become human in a future without humans: http://www.kulichki.com/moshkow/ZELQZNY/forbreat.txt
whoever posted “The Laughing Man” and “A Good Day For Bananafish” is Correct

I didn’t read it in a text book, but “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream” haunted me for life.
“Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” feels like some liminal space I once visited, whenever I remember reading it.
The Space Traders by Derrick Bell
Flowers for Algernon wasn’t scary or anything but it fucked up my entire 8th grade honors class for a good few weeks after.
Want to learn Sign Language?

There’s a website where you can learn ASL (American Sign Language) on your own, free and it’s a 31 Day program! The woman on there, her name is Rochelle Barlow, she runs the site and she actually is a homeschool teacher and teaches ASL. I am passing this on to some of you guys cause most of y’all on here is open-minded and curious and it is something important to learn.
I truly believe this site is helpful for some people who can not afford to going to ASL classes, or someone like me that just enjoys learning something new. This site will help with that. Once you sign up you will put in your email address and Rochelle sends you emails on tips on how to sign, gives you practice sheets, and gives you your weekly videos. And its all online. No need to paying for anything. (Unless if you want to she has something very different to this program)
IMO and yes, this site is really amazing and is important because you never know if someone who is deaf or HOH needs help, if you end up losing your hearing ability this is something you will at least have on the back of your head, and it is just like any other language and should be taught.

NONE OF YOUR FREAKING MOVIES GET IT RIGHT: a guide to Russian names.
This post was inspired by years and years of watching movies, series, and fanfics royally and hilariously fuck up the use of names in the Russian language, coming to the point where, if I see another pair of best buddies call each other by full name, I will shoot something, I swear to God.
There are 3 ways people in Russia address each other, and they denote different levels of formality, and the relationship between the speakers. You should know this stuff if you wanna write anything that includes Russian people talking to each other, because if you get it wrong, it will be, alternatively, hilarious or cringe-worthy. I have seen soo much of this in fanfic it’s not funny anymore. So read up y'all!
1. Name + Patronymic.
A patronym, or patronymic, is a component of a surname based on the given name of one’s father, grandfather or an even earlier male ancestor. (thank you, Wikipedia!) A patronymic is not a middle name. Russian people don’t have middle names, period. But we all have patronymics!
Use: formal
Used towards: your teacher, your big boss, a senior citizen with whom you don’t have a close relationship (say, your classmate’s grandma), your doctor, any kind of professor or scholar when you address them formally, a client when you’re in the service industry/work with people (not always, but very often).
Example: Ivan Petrovich, Sergey Vladimirovich, Anna Anatolyevna, Maria Sergeevna, etc

Напоминаем, что у нас идет месяц знаменитостей. Мы не можем не упомянуть фильм “Ла Ла Ленд”, который именно о людях, которые пытаются достигнуть успеха и стать звездами. Сегодня разберем песню Мии “The fools who dream” - переслушивайте ее, когда кажется, что все идет не так :) Эмма Стоун просто офигенна в этой роли, правда?)
My aunt used to live in Paris I remember, she used to come home and tell us these stories about being abroad And I remember she told us that she jumped into the river once, barefoot
She smiled Leapt (прыгнула), without looking And tumbled (упала) into the Seine The water was freezing She spent a month sneezing But said she would do it again (Chorus) Here’s to the ones who dream Foolish (глупые) as they may seem Here’s to the hearts that ache (болят) Here’s to the mess (беспорядок) we make She captured (поймала) a feeling Sky with no ceiling (потолок) The sunset inside a frame She lived in her liquor (ликер) And died with a flicker (мерцание) I’ll always remember the flame (пламя) (Chorus)
She told me “A bit of madness (безумие) is key To give us new colors to see Who knows where it will lead us? And that’s why they need us”
So bring on the rebels (бунтари) The ripples (рябь) from pebbles (гальки) The painters, and poets, and plays
(Chorus)
I trace (отслеживаю) it all back to then Her, and the snow, and the Seine Smiling through it She said she’d do it again
to leap: прыгать to tumble: падать foolish: глупый ache: болеть mess: беспорядок to capture: поймать, захватить ceiling: потолок liquor: ликер flicker: мерцание flame: пламя madness: безумие rebels: бунтари, мятежники ripples: ряби pebble: галька trace: проследить, отслеживать
Here’s to (something/someone)
Эту фразу произносят, когда делают тост. Самое близкое значение - “за (кого-то или что-то).
Here’s to us! За нас
Here’s to health: За здоровье!
Here’s to the ones who dream: За тех, кто мечтает

For all my language learning buddies
MOOCs are great.
Just found out about this amazing resource called 3ears!
It has a selection of films, TV shows, (such as Кухня and Как я стал русским), as well as Russian-language songs and other video clips. As shown in the screenshot above, you can find a transcript below each video, and each word in the transcript is highlighted when it is spoken or sang in the video. If you click on the word, it will show you the exact point in the video the word is said. You can drag the word to the side of the screen and you’ll see the definition, declension or conjugation, and other example usages of a word.
I would really recommend 3ears as it’s really useful for learners who want to find out all the unfamiliar words and slang in sitcoms and films, especially when there is a lot of quickly spoken conversational dialogue.
Oh! I am excited to try this one out!
Instrumental case
The hard thing about this case is that it has a very wide specter of meanings. The most popular linguistic text on this topic defines twelve meanings of the Instrumental case. Today I’ll tackle just two of them, that hopefully will explain why it’s called “instrumental”.
Lots of things we do, we do with the help of some instrument. We write with a pen, eat with a fork, speak with a voice. In Russian to express this idea, we don’t need “with” (though the Russian equivalent of “with” (с) is always used with the Instrumental case) we just have to turn the tool into another case.
These tables show how nouns change with the Instrumental case in singular and plural forms. to write with a pen = писать ручкой (translating into English it’s just “write pen”) to eat with a fork = есть вилкой (eat fork) to paint with paints = рисовать красками (plural form) to speak with a voice = говорить голосом (speak voice) - if we don’t change the case it also means “write pen” in Russian. And though to speak with a voice is a weird example, to speak with a loud voice is something that we can often say. And of course, the case of the adjective also changes
to speak with a loud voice = разговаривать громким голосом to use an expensive lipstick = пользоваться дорогой помадой (with the verb пользоваться the object is always in the Instrumental because the object automatically becomes some tool because you use it. But don’t confuse it with использовать - the rule does not work for this one) to mend with liquid glue = чинить жидким клеем
So, one of the functions of the Instrumental case is to define objects that we use as tools or instruments. Рисовать картину красками is to paint a picture with paints, where picture is the object, the result (Accusative) and paints is the the tool (Instrumental).
There are many basic Russian phrases that are a simple and direct translation from common, everyday English expressions. Here we have summarised for you a good collection of basic phrases to get you going.
