*through gritted teeth* when i do something wrong and am politely asked to change my behavior its just a simple request to fix a problem and not an indictment of my character. when i do something wrong and am politely asked to change my behavior its just a simple request to fix a problem and not an indictment of my worth as a human being

In today's linguistics class we talked about metaphors, and we really want two of the ones we talked about to become conventionalised.

So first of all this one girl told us about a newer metaphor in Russian, "I have paws", which is something you say when you don't really want to do something, so you say you're incapable of doing it since you have paws instead of hands. Like, "hey, finish that report" "aw but I have paws :(" and I think that's adorable. It's like "I'm just a girl" but for animals.

We also had the task to invent a novel metaphor and have the others guess what it means, and the teacher really liked my "she's such a capybara" = "everyone loves her". Capybara energy is like golden retriever energy except you're chill about it. You're just vibing and everyone digs that.

Anyway I think these deserve to become more common in English

Many moons ago I started a flower hair series but got art blocked half way through so I never got to finish Rose Knots and Hydrangea Buns. Inspiration strikes are funny times and now I'm back at it haha

i love explaining the etymology of the word "rickroll" because the story starts with "ok, so at one point 4chan applied a filter to everyone's posts that changed the word egg to duck"

strawhatsoviet: then what happened?

hbmmaster: egg to duck filter → "eggroll" becomes "duckroll" → image of duck with wheels labeled "duckroll" → people start posting links to this image while disguising them as links to other things as a prank → this prank is called "duckrolling" → -rolling becomes a productive "bait and switch prank" suffix → posting a disguised link to the music video for never gonna give you up is called "rickrolling"

My toxic trait is that no matter what I need three hours to myself at the end of the day to do absolutely nothing.

Handled raw chicken. Now I can't touch anything ever again until I forget that I did that.
