I find it hilarious that the Green Party of Canada can't decide on a shade for their lawn signs so when driving from riding to riding you could get hit with a #228B22 or a #4CBB17 or even a #AAFF00, but then last week I saw a #355E3B and I don't think it pops like the others but I do like the vibes
To the girls I offered my lighter to before realising I didn't have one on me when I thought I did: I'm so sorry

Go read @stonktrek ‘s fic about them!!!

Welsh is an official language of Wales. This means, legally, it cannot be treated less favourably than English in any part of daily life. So we have bilingual signs and sometimes the translations are… well just awful.
This is a classic and made the news.
Welsh reads “I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated.
Welsh reads “Wines and ghosts”
Welsh reads “Warning workers are exploding”
In English these drinks are alcohol free in Welsh the drinks are free “Alcohol for nothing”.
Um- Welsh reads “Free erections” yes really!
This seems a tad harsh “Injure yourself now”
Wording is fine but the English and the Welsh disagree on right/left
The sign says “Parcio I Bobi Anabl” which is “Parking to bake the disabled” which I don’t think Tesco were going for.

Oh god! I literally lost 20 minutes of my life trying to explain this to a Londoner. No we can’t just let some random person translate our stuff! Welsh is complex, Welsh is regional, and by god if you get it wrong you will make an absolute tit of yourself!
The return of Free Erections! A great week in the Cambrian News.
Mistranslated idiom is yet another way (along with wrong accent, wrong dialect and wrong hand gestures, etc.) to drop disguised fictional characters in the cack when plot requires it.
And what makes acting like a small garden bird so insulting anyway?
Omg this is like 800 metaphors rolled into one megaphor
I would like everyone to know that vulture vomit is very stinky. It smells of rotting flesh and they use it to drive away predators
Direct action
hey, at least have a picture of the American vultures doing this, not eurasian/african vultures, they are very different creatures!
Apparently vultures are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, so there is nothing ICE can do about this except politely try to shoo the birds away.
So gods finally stopped fucking around and started with the Omens huh
There are Omens and then there's whatever the fuck is going on here

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
in my head the star wars equivalent of tswift is some human woman named tay’lor spiff or something and her stans are losing their minds over theories that she’s secretly a jedi singing about the horrors of war, even though she’s from a neutral system that hasn’t seen so much as a moral panic in 50 years
the theories get even more egregious during the imperial era, with people straight up thinking she joined the rebellion in secret and is loading her songs with subliminal rebel propaganda. their main piece of evidence for this is if you play a certain song backwards, it sounds like she’s saying “freedom” in shyriiwook. the fans get really defensive if you point out she’s performed at the yearly empire day celebration thrice now and her family historically owned ewok slaves
i regret to inform both you beautiful people that this isn’t going to go how you think it will
spiff fans (also known as “spiffies”) insist that the two decommissioned venator-class destroyers spiff purchased, the bad blood and the reputation, are for diplomatic purposes that benefit the rebellion. jedi’lors have concocted theories that she served on both ships during the clone wars and was respectful of every clone that served there, despite her courtship of a gravball player that thrice advocated against the clone veterans being granted natural citizenship
I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.
I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:
Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)
Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)
Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often
Eat dessert first
Celebrate well, and often
Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)
Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.
Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate
Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)
Walk without having a specific destination or goal
Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.
I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.
All my homies hate Clovis from Clone Wars.
In fact, Rush Clovis who? That name doesn't ring a bell, can't be canon? Must be from some fanfic, right? Right?
In fact, i need more mutuals who hate Clovis, reblog if you would kick him at least once.
One day Luke is going to be out in the galaxy at a random dive bar, and someone is going to recognize him from Tatooine.
Not from the endless Jedi shit, not from Jabba the hut killing. They're gonna see Luke and go "Oh! That's Luke Skywalker, the best damn water vapor repair guy in the town!"
They'll get to talking about life- how Luke has this kid that he sometimes raises, how he's trying to build a safe school, how he's doing research on said school so he can do it right. He's not gonna half ass it when he's gonna have all these creatures looking up to him.
The neighbor will ask about if Luke had settled down yet. "No, but I have a family." He'll answer questions if asked but Tatooine Folk don't ask deep ones.
The neighbor will ask about flying. Luke will grin and talk about the last asteroid field he 'safely' went around. The neighbor will ask if him and Darklighter ever found one another. They both drink to the boy who lives with the stars now.
Yet it's time for the neighbor to go home. They give a small good bye and turn to head out.
Before they do they look at Luke and go "Owen and Beru would be proud of the man you became, Skywalker."
For a moment Luke looks at them, shocked. Then a smile to rival the twins sons will blaze across the Lars boys face.
The neighbor will not know the reason beyond the compliment; that this is the first person to mention Luke's family in the decade they've been dead. He's never had someone tell him this before.
He's Padme and Anakin's son, Obi-Wan's pride, but he's the Lars' boy🥲

Why do Americans never mention provinces when referencing Canada
Okay so what I mean is why is it that whenever a true crime doc or a local news achor with a bad haircut mentions anything going on in Canada, they will 9 times out of 10 just refer to City, Canada.
It's always "The murder took place here, in Winnipeg, Canada", or "That clip from Toronto, Canada. Some remark about Canada having electricity or snow or something"
That would be like if you turned on Netflix and hit play on a new documentary and they just show a field at sunset with BOISE, USA in big block letters, and then moving on. That's batshit insane.
And look, I KNOW why. They simply don't care to know where things are up here, nor do they care to learn how to pronounce any of the names.
But I've also heard and seen things like "Edinburgh, UK" (Obviously pronounced Ed-ing-Berg). Like, I have to believe Americans understand the idea of Scotland.
Of course, I could set off the same response in someone when I say Madrid, Spain or Kolkata, India (I'm certain there are enough geopolitical... opinions... in either area to guarantee that is the case)
I don't know, I just feel like they could make the effort to specify the and not just vaguely gesture toward the border.
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
Woke up to an unhinged text from my roommate's partner telling me to stay out of my roommate's life and like 1. Holy shit little man get a grip and 2. I've been waiting to tell you the same thing
Like there's lore here that I won't add to my digital footprint but needless to say, she (partner) is way off base, I'm just upset cause my friend is going out with someone so shitty
Panic ordered 3 model kits (a y wing anf 2 palm sized millennium falcons) and I have Next To Zero model making and painting experience, but the great thing about star wars models is that it's okay if they look like shit
I bought 2 falcons because they were ten bucks and maybe the second one is just a random YT1300 freighter. We don't know yet!
