Words “moon” and “month” in different languages

[beautiful-basque-country]

Omfg, hileko means period or menstruation, not month.

In Basque, month is said hilabete.

[ID: a white person in a blue FBI t-shirt, with long blonde hair and pink eye makeup, with the TikTok handle @elysian_cosplay. They sign as they speak, throughout the video. At some points, images appear behind them, of sources for the things they are discussing.

The CCs say: “Hey, I want to cover something important. As some of y'all know, I am deeply engrained in the Deaf culture because I want to be an interpreter, and I have Deaf family. The world is slowly becoming more accessible, and I am proud of our progress.

However, I want to discuss this school. This is the Memphis Oral School for the Deaf. The school will be opening soon, but they do not let their students sign, they discourage it. And now they require masks, which means Lipreading is out the window.

This article [there is an article on screen behind them] points out that even without masks, teachers would often cover their mouths when they spoke. So they couldn’t lip read. Their reasoning? To ensure that their students were “listening with their EARS”. Read that again.

You’re taking away their [Deaf children’s] language, they are not being given Dynamic Equivalence. They have nothing. When are y'all gonna learn that Deaf kids don’t need to be fixed? Please spread for awareness.“

Omg, you guys.

Today I was applying for a job and for the very first time in my 20 years in Canada I came across a form that recognizes that different cultures have different name formats and didn’t force me to assimilate my name to English standards. 

I nearly cried. 

I started screaming and made my mom come see.

Respecting people’s culture matters. 

It’s often the little subtle actions that mean the most.

Brazilian cherries aren’t related to common cherries at all! They look like this and taste rather sour:

Also, if you’re not used to them, Brazilian grapetrees look really alien:

The fruit is formed in the trunk, not the branches!

[nixieteeth]

so was anyone going to tell me that Brazil has god tier fantasy flora or what

[brazilianism]

as a brazilian i’m so amused by the fact y’all call these brazilian cherries and grape trees, it never occurred to me that THAT was what you’d compare our fruits to. They have their own names here - pitanga and jabuticaba, respectively.

But hey, if you think those look freaky, wait until you find out about guaraná 

[kittykat8311]

this make me uncomfortable

[thatsnotevenaword]

oh my fucking god

so i’m reading this harry potter fic

and every now and then there are words like “arseented” and “marseaging” and “arseistance” and i was trying to figure out what the hell is going on

finally i got to the word “parse” and figured it out

they’re american so after they wrote it they did a find and replace to change every “ass” to “arse”

i can’t stop laughing omg

[arcanewinter]

“Word has made 436 replacements.”

“That sounds right.”

My interest in the idea of queer villains–as a queer person–has gone beyond the notion of ‘a lot of villains were queer-coded in my childhood and so I found myself instinctively connecting with them’ and is now fully ‘are you tired of being nice? Don’t you just want to go apeshit?? Don’t you just want to watch the world burn a little bit in your favor???’

I hate the military 💓! Hugs and kisses!

[honeyedsidhe]

I grew up in a town next to a military base and in high school recruiters would pull individual students out of classes for literal hours to try and convince and or guilt them into joining!! When they pulled me out of class to talk to them they kept me for a full hour trying to convince me to “use my skills to better america” even after learning in the first 30 seconds that my skills and interests were in the arts. They pivoted for the next 55 or so minutes trying to angle for “getting myself an education” and even at one point after my consistent and adamant refusal said “So youre just going to burden your parents with your college debt like that?” I also remember them implying if i didnt get and education or join the military I would just be this huge burden to everyone. I cant imagine how they treated people who knew less or were uncertain about their futures. Theyre doing this to KIDS. Literal 15 and 16 year old kids.

Military recruiters are manipulative and predatory monsters (a reflection of the US Military itself!) and they need to get out of low income high schools.

[somethinginthebasement]

One of the soul reasons why the government doesn’t want to lower the cost of college/ make free tuition. A majority of recruits join just so they can get education. And recruiters know that and it’s pretty gross.

[sociolinguo]

The common view seems to be that of two forms of English pronunciation one may good and one bad, or both may be bad, but both cannot be good. But diversity does not necessarily imply disintegration. It rather means richness of language material, and there is unity in the diversity. Difference is not necessarily degeneration.
