Sunday is a public bulletin to all those who wonder. It says: Stop wondering! It is not productive! What are you going to do? Find an answer?! We don’t think so! If you think you have found an answer, immediately forget it. If you can’t forget it, call out into the air that you can’t forget. The Sheriff’s Secret Police are standing by. Very very near by.
tfw you Kinda have a crush on someone & also feel like they Sorta have a crush on you too but also you’re probably just projecting your own feelings due to wishful thinking & your hopeful ass is gonna get let down when reality comes a-knockin’

The Curious Case of May Parker
It’s happening in the cartoons, too:
Aunt May (and Ms. Lion) from Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (1980s)
Aunt May from Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1990s)
Aunt May from The Spectacular Spider-Man (2000s)
Aunt May from Ultimate Spider-Man (2010s)
True facts: Every time Peter’s uncle Ben dies in the latest origin story May absorbs the life force left over from his remaining years and uses it to rejuvenate herself
Uncle Ben dies over and over again to keep her young
First of all, I apologize for this post being a bit late. I was JUST ABOUT to upload it when the internet at my house cut out. This should not have been a surprise, given all the various technical difficulties in the US yesterday…
Anyways… today’s comic deals with one of the more interesting topics in contemporary Shakespeare studies: Original Pronunciation!
O.P. and the amazing ways in which it has been reconstructed, deserve a lot more space than six stick-figure comic panels, but hey, barbarically reducing things of great literary and scholarly merit to their bare bones is kind of my “thing”. At the very least, now you know that when Hamlet tries to rhyme “move” and “love”, it’s not actually him pretending to be mad.
The super-linguist in question is David Crystal, whose praises I repeatedly sung. In his O.P. endeavors he has been ably assisted by his son, Ben Crystal, an actor who, armed with Shakespeare’s O.P., can make the prologue of Romeo and Juliet sound sexier and more piratical than you could have ever imagined. If you don’t believe, just take a listen:
Seriously. That’s gorgeous. Here’s a longer video, featuring Papa Crystal and Ben at the Globe:
It’s easy to get snobbish about Shakespeare and to believe it works only when performed in the elegantly trained received pronunciation of an Ian McKellen or a Benedict Cumberbatch. But, as the Crystals point out, received pronunciation is even further away from Shakespeare’s original accent than American are from it.
Shakespeare can be performed in any accent. English, Welsh, Scottish, American, Canadian, Singaporean, I don’t care. His words still have immense power. However, when you hear it spoken in O.P., you really get a sense of what it must have been like for those first groundlings at the first Globe Theatre.
It’s easy to forget because we’re so used to English spelling not really making sense, but the vast majority of English words are spelled that way because they were once actually pronounced that way.* We don’t have a phonetic spelling system, we have an etymological one.
*Except for a few silent letters that were falsely re-added later, such as in “debt” (which comes from French dete but the “b” makes it look more like Latin debitum).
“bro”
“what bro”
“tell the whole world that we’re bros”
*whispers* “we’re bros”
“why’d you whisper bro?”
“because you’re my whole world bro”
“b r o”
Unspoken rule of this blog: always reblog this video.
ALWAYS.

“I didn’t start publishing Pennsylvania’s Orange Street News so that people would think I’m cute. I want to get the truth to people, even if it makes grownups mad,” says 9-year-old Hilde Kate Lysiak, publisher of and reporter for the Orange Street News.
After reporting on a suspected homicide in Selinsgrove, Pa., Hilde was harassed by “disgusted” adults commenting on her site, saying her time would be better spent at tea parties and playing with dolls.
Hilde has something to say, and she takes no prisoners, firing back at her aging critics, with a video and in her column for the Guardian.
how pathetic do you have to be to pick on a literal nine year old
