do you ever read an article that fills you with such insurmountable rage

[olive-musubi]

nikhil krishnan, are you glad to be in community with the fuckass president who wants english only instruction in public schools. did your three (3) measly sentences, more pandering than containing anything of substance, about it being "a tragedy when languages are killed, especially when they are killed out of malice or bigotry." account for the fact that "putting languages out of their misery" is the exact smokescreen that the bigoted, malicious politicians would love to hide behind as they claim that supporting children birth to five in their home language is a money pit and instead we should force these very children, who often spend majority of their day without their home language anyway, to spend their time in a place that refuses to acknowledge it's existence. that's surely a "natural cause" of language death, right? marginalizing it? in children birth to five? i'm sure that 16 month old is making the active choice to not understand their native language, that three year old is simply exercising their rights by not speaking the language of their family; you are so, so right.

i don't like barcelona for some reason which is weird because it's the only one i've been to. not a fan of lusail as it has a similar layout but specifically barcelona annoys me. also think imola is a boring track and i'm not sad to see it in rotation (especially if they brought back sepang after everyone realizes how sexy it is this year🙏)

don't care about sounding like a basic bitch but eau rouge will always be the it girl of formula 1 !! you don't realize just how ridiculously steep it is on tv, nor how much speed they retain when they begin the ascent of that mountain flat out. i love how it is almost impossible to keep the lead into the straight immediately after, i love its name and the reason for it (the iron-red river running beneath the circuit), i love the respect all drivers have for it because they know it has claimed lives and very well may again. i also like maggots & becketts solely because the name is fun to say

i actively dislike max verstappen for a tonnn of reasons i won't get into in depth right now for brevity's sake (i could, if you want me to!), but, in a few words, i don't like his driving style and especially his aggressive & temperamental wheel to wheel, i don't like the leniency with which the fia treats him and his racing, i don't like his attitude (continuously playing the victim and complaining on the radio and in interviews about perceived slights as if the entire world were out to get him when he has benefitted MASSIVELY from his privilege in the sport; berating his team and opponents on and off track and never ever second-guessing himself or his personal performance, etc), i don't like some callous comments he has made and i don't like how fiercely misogynistic (generally bigoted tbh) a lot of his fans are. i also dislike lance stroll for being a zio and liam lawson for being an annoying loudmouth with none of the skills or credentials to back it up. other than them, i don't dislike anyone! i may say the odd word against a driver in the heat of a race if they cross my favs but i genuinely don't wish them any harm other than maybe a minor inconvenience the next day. for karma, you know

very hot, because then i can unleash charles 'tire whisperer' leclerc's raw power, and pit stops are the only thing ferrari tend to not fuck up. i did consider rain for my beloved norman boys, and because it gave us the best race in recent history ie. brazil 2024 but it would benefit my opps too much (mv & the mercs)

Languages tend to peak at their word for butterfly. Never seen 2 that are the same, either. Papillon. Mariposa. Borboleta. Fluture. Vlinder. Schmetterling. Pillangó. Babochka. Farfalla. Sommerfugl. Perhonen. Farasha. Titali. Chōchō. Nabi. Húdié. Buom buom. Great job guys, i really mean it.

[textpostscymraeg]

I have a feeling that the Welsh language may be the winner here, because we have several words for "butterfly", and they're all equally fantastic:

pili-pala, pilipala

iâr fach yr haf ("small summer chicken")

glöyn byw ("living coal")

plufyn bach yr haf ("little summer feather")

colomen fyw ("living dove")

eilir ("spring")

glöyn Duw ("God's coal")

[textpostscymraeg]

When coal is lit, it's not just black - it's orange and sometimes white-hot, too, which means...

BEHOLD! The living coal! Or an alarmingly small summer chicken. Take your pick!

I used to set this one for second year undergraduate creative writing seminars on writing science fiction on a double bill with Octavia E. Butler's "Bloodchild" and no-one here gets out alive.

[regionalpancake]

!!!! Today is the only chance we’ll ever have to listen to this absolute banger of apocalyptic fiction on the very day the story is set 😲✨

Nemoy’s voice is PERFECT in this!

(A content warning if you do listen - the dog dies, though it’s not super graphic)

[regionalpancake]

I paused the robot vacuum so I could listen to this 1950’s story predicting the robot vacuum.

you wake up and are completely proficient/skilled at one (1) instrument, have memorized hundreds of songs on it and can play it whenever, 100% skilled. what instrument is it?

GUITAR ONE HUNDRED PERCENTTT it's the sexiest instrument in the world i'm obsessed with how versatile it can sound, depending on the way it's played (fingerstyle, strummed, flatpicking !!), on tones, on effects for electric guitar... as a lifelong rock lover there are so many things i wish i could play on the (electric) guitar, i actually have a saved folder on instagram for all the pieces i wish i could learn. the world is not ready for my power if i knew both the guitar & piano

based on my personal arbitrary groupings because no, 3 and 4 do not go together and yes, 8:00 and 23:00 are entities unto themselves. if you disagree, though, maybe include your grouping and where you're from in the tags? i wonder if there would be any kind of statistical significance to it...

you can change ONE thing about the grishaverse, books or show, big decision or small decision. what would it be?

MAKE THE BOOK CHARACTERS OLDERRR i know it was made this way in order to market the series as YA, but in the context of the story, it's genuinely laughable to have the most feared/revered mafia boss in town be seventeen. have you ever seen a 17 year old? he's not intimidating anybody. there's a high chance his voice hasn't even dropped yet. their trauma & their reactions to said trauma would absolutely still be believable if they were in the 20-24 range and had had no coping mechanisms or positive role models, and it would allow for more realism and generally a grittier, more mature feel. the only person you could argue aging up would be a disservice to is matthias, because the whole genocidal paramilitary thing is more forgivable when he's literally mere months out of adulthood; but i think the series' points & char arc still stand if he's 21 and groomed by the drüskelle
