teaching ESL is a trip.
English pronunciation is crazy. I get it when my students mispronounce some words.
Why is there a b in lamb? Headache can be a weird word to say. Fifteen and fifty do sound awfuly similar.
But I still don't know how my student mispronounced tuna.

Player 2 is GMing.
The party orders food and the menu has French Fries.
My character asks, of course, what the hell are French Fries.
Fried potatoes... invented by an elf... named French.
They're French's Fries.
my other blog where I post about games and shit

Mother and child photos. Edwardian era 1900s. Itâs rare to find a photo of a woman smiling since taking photos took so long.
does anyone ever stop to think, maybe Houston has problems too?
We do. And no one ever asks us what they are. Honestly really hurts our feelings. Thank you for thinking of us <3
i hate when people are like âonly dogs can give u love and affection cats are cold and elusiveâ like okay dog person if you had ever actually owned a cat you would know they are the neediest fucking creatures on the planet
cats will literally sit on your head until you pay attention to them
That proves the point, they want attention, they want you to pay attention to them not them!
cats show affection and love in their own way
for example
actually holding eye contact with you and blinking slowly is how cats âkissâ
cats choose to sleep or sit next to you even if youâre busy when they have a million other places to be because they like your company
they consider positive attention love
when they âheadbuttâ you itâs called âbuntingâ and itâs how they show affection
when they knead you itâs because they feel comforted
they think of you petting them as grooming- it makes them feel good so they will ask for you to pet them (or demand) especially if theyâre feeling sad
cats like to step on you because they mark you with their scent from their little feet telling other cats BACK THE FUCK OFF THIS HUMAN IS MINE
cats will lick you or groom you because they want you to be clean and happy
they bring you dead things because they donât want you to starve
cats think of humans as parents whereas dogs think of humans as the alpha dog
http://catpsychology.org/
I have been saying this FOR ACTUAL YEARS. THANK YOU.
Why do dog people insist on being weirdly moralising about cats like
I half expect them to start claiming dogs would give to charity while cats wouldnât or some shit
cats are super loving. IF they actually in fact love you.
you can like characters who do bad things
stop saying they didnât do bad things tho
Donald Trump is exactly the kind of person that Jesus would have thrown out of the temple and beaten with a stick, and the fact that so many self-identified Christians want to put him in office tells you pretty everything wrong with white American Christianity.Â
Because Jesus had authority at temples and beat people.
I 100% canât tell if youâre joking here but he actually did chase people out of a temple at least once for using religion for their own selfish gains, complete with literal table flipping and improvised whips
So really itâs not that he would have trump thrown out as much as he would storm in and accuse him of turning his fatherâs house into a den of thieves before upending a table on his head
Dude, Jesus not only chased them out, he broke stuff they were selling, let loose all of their animals, and fucking flipped all the money-changing tables.
Jesus 100% would have been chasing Trump out with a table leg.
Canon Jesus 10000% better than fanon Jesus
I was inspired by several articles about the Tampon Tax recently and some of the protests against the categorization of tampons as âluxury items,â so I made this up. Itâs funny because itâs true.
Tampons are a âluxury itemâ
Once I worked as an intern in the state capital. One of the representatives I worked for was this middle-aged guy. And he hated the tampon and napkin machines in the womenâs bathrooms. Hated them. He insisted that they werenât necessary.
I found out why after Iâd been working there, oh, about a month. My period started suddenly, as it sometimes does, and I asked to excuse myself to go to the ladiesâ room. He wanted to know why. I told him.
He started ranting about how lazy women were. How we wasted time. How we were so careless and unhygenic, and that there was no call for that. He finished by telling me that I certainly was NOT going to the ladiesâ room and that I was just going to sit there and work. He finished this off with a decisive nod, as if Iâd just be told and there could be no possible argument.
âIf I donât go,â I said in an overly patient tone, âthe blood is going to soak through my pants, stain my new skirt that I just bought, and possibly get on this chair Iâm sitting in. I need something to soak up the blood. Thatâs why I need to go to the bathroom.â
His face turned oatmeal-gray; an expression of pure horror spread across his face. He leaned forward and whispered, âWait, you mean that if you donât go, youâll just keep on bleeding? I thought that women could turn it off any time that they wanted!â
I thought, Â You have got to be kidding.
Several horrified whispers later, I learned that he wasnât. He actually thought a) that women could shut down the menstrual cycle at will, b) that we essentially picked a week per month to spend more time in the bathroom, i.e. to goof off, and c) that napkins and tampons were sex toys paid for by Health and Human Services. I didnât know the term then, but he believed that tampons were dildos. Which was why he and a good number of his friends considered them luxuries.
And thatâs how, at twenty, I had to give a talk on menstruation to a middle-aged married state representative who was one of my bosses. American politics, ladies and gentlemen.
OH GOOD GRIEF!
YOU WERE WARNED -Â
I had a TEACHER in SCHOOL tell me the same thing. âI need to go to the nurse, I need a tampon.â âJust sit and stop, weâre taking a test.â
Every single girl in class looked up with the face of âYouâre an idiot.â
This is literally the most absurd shit.
I⌠Iâm just⌠I have seriously never in my life met a man that absolutely god-awfully stupid. That isnât to say they donât exist, I just never actually thought they could before now.
Wow.Â
I canât even tell you how many college-educated men whoâve taken multiple health and sex ed classes Iâve talked to who have no idea the uterus doesnât work like the bladder and that we canât shut off the blood at will because the cervix is not a sphincter.
The thing i find most terrifying is the sheer number of them who are married. How the hell does it never come up that they essentially think their wives are purposefully wetting themselves and wearing what is pretty much a giant nappy out of choice for a week? How do you never have that conversation?
I am not a fan of Richard Dawkins. I think he represents the arrogant White supremacist patriarchal atheist who believes, ignorantly, that not believing in god is the same as moral perfection. There are racist atheists. There are homophobic atheists. There are sexist atheists. The atheist community, like all communities, has to grapple with the ways in which we perpetuate oppression outside of the concept of god. What is on the horizon is a new group of atheists who want to take an intersectional approach to our activism. We want to call out the fact that the âage of enlightenmentâ coincided with the âage of scientific racismâ. We are under no delusions. The absence of belief in god does not necessarily make for a more humane or just world. Certainly, religion has often been behind some of the most horrific tragedies in human history, but if we believe that the world will become peaceful once we remove religions we are deluded. We still have to grapple with patriarchy, we still have to grapple with classism, we still have to grapple with white supremacy. I am proud to be a social justice atheist, and I canât wait for men like Richard Dawkins to get with the program or get out of the way.

can you imagine being this aggressively ugly
my thing is deadpool has literally always been sexually fluid so like i donât understand why people are just NOW getting mad lmfao.
The Homosexualsâ˘
Deadpool, to Thor: âI really find you very attractive did I say that out loud OH THANK GOD A DISTRACTIONâ
This is one of the tamer examples, and is not how you âcomplimentâ guys unless you would like to be dating them.
Also the writers said âomnisexualâ like four years ago, but this dude didnât freak out then because heâs a fake geek boy.
Straight man: *sees a gay* Straight man: What is this anti-heterosexual propaganda?!
INSIDER:The UK explained sexual consent in the most British way possible.
THIS IS AWESOMEâŚ.and hilarious. Is it wrong that I was laughing the whole way through? âThey just donât want teaâ
@diggo26 @yespleasehawkeye
OMG WHAT IS THIS? LOL
I love how its tea, but I donât like tea (I mean actual tea :P LOL)
See this is an excellent metaphor, thereâs just one major flaw in it
if you decline an actual cup of tea in the UK you are subjected to a general cry of âWhat kind of monster are you?â from every other person in the room and then they make you a cup of tea any way! And God forbid you want your tea any other way than milk two sugars.
