A language obsession - langblr, academicblr

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, at least you made it out of your hometown without marrying someone you went to high school with".  SALUT ! I blog about foreign languages, linguistics (yes, it's different), academia, politics and I also give unsolicited advices. Fluent in French, English, Spanish and almost in Russian, intermediate in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, I started Mandarin recently. I also studied Italian, Swedish, Japanese, Ancient Greek, Latin and Georgian. Born & raised in France, now living in Montreal, Canada. ✨ Twitter & instagram : thelazypolyglot

americans are making this post about their shit education system and the literacy crisis whatever that is and i say this with love in my heart: it really is not that deep. pathology this pathologizing that. how about the universal human inclination to take da Path of least resistance

What really pisses me off about American is that they blame the education system for their poor financial decisions and bullshit debts. Of course being overwhelmed by ads and a culture that pushes you to consume makes it harder to resist the trend, but like… this happens in every other country as well? “They didn’t teach that at school” CANT YOU FUCKING GOOGLE IT? USE YOUR BRAIN AND THINK? They don’t teach financial literacy anywhere, your society truly is another type of dumb it’s baffling

The news about the Trophy Wife YouTuber who just came out about how her husband SAd her two toddler daughters, when just before that she had an entire channel praising Shera7 for helping her land the “man of her dreams”, is a perfect example of how being a pick me and completely male-centered can ruin your life.

I’m done trying to tell other women that men should NEVER be their source of income. That they should look primarily at his character and not his money. That you don’t have to compromise on looks and values to date someone that isn’t a dusty. That that energy you are spending trying your hardest to get with a wealthy man could be used for you to become wealthy yourself.

You people have demonized the concept of self-actualization and independence on women to the point that no amount of reasoning will get past you. Some of you will have to go through traumatic events to learn that you shouldn’t blindly trust all the advice that’s viral on social media and based your life choices off of them.

I’m glad I’ll never have to endure sex with an old and ugly man just so he can buy me a bag. I’m glad that I prioritize my own education and career achievements so that I’ll never have to ask a man for permission to live my life as I see fit. I’m glad to have a name of my own and be able to stand on my two feet. No amount of “sprinkle sprinkle” propaganda will make want to crave that kind of lifestyle.

crazy how every time you go on a walk it’s like ohh that’s why i’m alive

[status-quo-hater]

You can tell if someone's actually pro intersex liberation by seeing their reaction to the phrase "abolish the sex binary" Yes I said sex. Like biological sex. It's not binary.

“Recent data indicate that sex is not a simple binary classification based solely on genitalia at birth or reproductive capacity but encompasses various biological characteristics such as chromosomes, hormones, and secondary sexual characteristics.”
