Deflate when writing prose; inflate when writing essays for school.

Procrastinating on finding ways to add one page to my essay to get the page requirement! Thank you so much.

My brain has no heart, and my heart has no brain. That’s why when I speak my mind, I appear heartless and when I do what’s in my heart I seem thoughtless.

It’s not friendship, it’s bromance. It’s not eyeliner, it’s guyliner. It’s not yoga, it’s broga. It’s not just silly portmanteaus, it’s evidence of the hilarious fragility of masculinity.

So I think this post is pretty much awesome, but as a Chinese person, I have a huge issue with Cinder being included in the set, considering it’s not a good representation of a diverse book. It’s culturally appropriative, with pan-Asian worldbuilding and reinstating Japanese rule, despite the painful history China has with Japanese imperialism.

This review says it better than I can.

describe the colour blue to someone who can't see?

smell of saltwater. someone touching you gently in the dark. evening sunlight, leaving. distance—fluctuating. winter mornings on a train platform, cold skin and the texture of denim. a slow, steady voice. an ice-cube on the tongue.

I believe in fiction and the power of stories because that way we speak in tongues. We are not silenced. All of us, when in deep trauma, find we hesitate, we stammer; there are long pauses in our speech. The thing is stuck. We get our language back through the language of others. We can turn to the poem. We can open the book. Somebody has been there for us and deep-dived the words.

i’m so upset

I just realized that the reason ghosts say Boo! is because it’s a latin verb

they’re literally saying ‘I alarm/I am alarming/I do alarm!!

I can’t

[life-of-a-latin-student]

present active boō, present infinitive boāre, perfect active boāvī, supine boātum

[interretialia]

Recte!

[flightcub]

if it comes from the latin word, they’re actually saying “I’M YELLING!” which is even cuter

[grizzlyhills]

do they speak latin because it’s a dead language
