This is why my Title line on here is “Entitled”
No bio because I didn’t want to. And I can’t think of one. I can’t even decide on a forever name.
If you’re inspired by whatever I blurt out then please tag me too because I would love to go down your rabbit holes.
Bringing the lesbians out in full force with last nights burn!
Burning topless to chappel roan!
Like, this is Hot in physical sense and also like woag big women x3c @waeponwifestre
I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with relating to characters, “they’re literally me” etc but if that’s the only way you engage with stories you’re kinda missing the whole point of Characters being vehicles through which we can see perspectives outside of our own. and also you’re going to get upset when the Character acts in a way that is not Personally Relatable to You
doubly for shipping. at risk if biting the hand that feeds me, a well written fictional relationship should ideally be more than a didactic template for how to have a nice relationship

Give me a Tim Drake that loves his family, loves them more than anything, but does not trust them.
Tim Drake that cannot trust that Alfred loves him, when Alfred helped Bruce with the 16th birthday test, when Alfred denied him a cat but gave one to Damian.
Tim Drake that loves Bruce, but cannot trust that he's fully safe around the man given the state that Bruce was in when they met. Given the way that he psychologically tortured him for nearly two weeks. Given the way that even after having Jason back, he still lashes out.
Tim Drake that cannot trust Dick to be there when he needs him, because when they first met he was asking for help and Dick refused to do so, and couldn't work with Bruce to the point that they both almost died. Because when Bruce was gone, Dick didn’t believe that he could be alive until Green Lantern said that there was a chance, and didn't take Tim at his word. (A Tim Drake that doesn’t believe that Dick ever could have caught him, and was shocked when he did)
Tim Drake that does trust Cass to be there when needed, but doesn’t trust her to ever stay
Tim Drake that can't trust that Jason doesn’t still hate him, because he knows that he would deserve it (theyre both too much alike after all, and they botj seem to hate themselves) . That can't trust that Jason would ever care for or respect him if they weren't both outsiders in a family full of them
Tim Drake that can't trust himself to be close with Steph again, because she had let him believe that she was dead, leaving without even a sign that she was not
Tim Drake that can't trust that Damian will ever see him as more than an obstacle when that was all that he had been to him from the start.
i think we should all start using arabic words and phrases more often because its a beautiful language and also theres not really. english equivalents that have the same vibes
theres also the comedy potential of it. you guys dont know the joy of having your muslim friend text you "hopefully the racists in our city will all get sick and cant go to the protest" and you, as a pasty white guy, responding with "inshallah they get covid"
its a one hit KO every time. its fucking hilarious. theres no english word that has the same effect.
he also once texted me that he got over a mysterious illness he came down with (i think? i cant remember the exact context) and i responded with "subhanallah he is cured"
again, one hit KO. he lost his shit.
what im saying is we gotta normalise arabic. its just a language like any other, and it has some great words. its just like saying "thank god" or whatever, but theres so much variety and nuance. its beautiful
what do inshallah and subhanallah mean so I could potentially use em in the correct situations? And potential words I could use?
OK LETS DO THIS
disclaimer i am not arab or muslim and i dont speak arabic but @frogofalltime has explained these words to me and says im using them correctly lmao
inshallah - "if god wills it". like an "i hope this happens" kind of thing. remember the finding nemo poster "inshallah they find him" meme if that helps. used in future tense.
mashallah - "god has willed it", used when something good happened. can be used to denote awe about an event or person. used in past tense.
alhamdulillah - essentially "thank god" or "praise be to god". like mashallah and inshallah but stronger, and can be used in any tense (i think). he will be baked soon alhamdullilah
subhanallah - "glory be to god". like alhamdullilah but stronger. used for when something almost miraculous happens!
those are all the ones i remember off the top of my head im sure binya can add more (and also confirm whether ive got my translations right)
mashaallah robin my faithful student you translated and explained all of this so well :0
there's also astaghfirullah which means "i seek forgiveness in god" which you use when you or someone else does something haram (forbidden / sinful / wrong). tbh we use it in a lot of jokey contexts like if someone swears in a conversation you can call them out like "astaghfirullah haram !"
and bismillah which means "in the name of god" which you can use before doing something, we often use it before doing a difficult thing like when you are struggling to open a bottle or something lmao. or you can say it when someone falls or drops something or gets injured. idk
appalachians need this they will be unstoppable
There’s definitely something to doing a mix-and-match with semantically-similar rural-American colloquialisms. I think “Inshallah and the creek don’t rise” has a nice ring to it.
Lord that rolls off the tongue so good 😭

I would never make it as a bird. The stress of keeping the eggs warm all the time would be too much for me.
There's a robin nest in my backyard right now (right in the middle of my $50 fuschias lmao) and the Mama Bird gets soooo flat to cover all her babies (three of four have hatched) and I wonder
is she having to hold a squat over them
Like now that they're hatched presumably she can't just sit on them??? They need room to move around??? But maybe the feathers are enough room and they can kind of swim through it? Anyway she's been doing a great job sitting even through the recent wind and rain storms and every time I walk past I tell her good job

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.
It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.
It's rude.
The above is doubly true if the content of the email is something that will be important to the person receiving - especially something that affects them negatively. They see that this thing that affected them so much didn't matter enough to you to write it yourself. I was a bystander to such a thing not long ago and it was just awful.
