unfortunately the "gay people make extremely strong cocktails" stereotype seems to be true in my case (im kind of just eyeballing the alcohol amount and i have a sneaking suspicion i put more and more every time i make it) and yet my friends are like "pookie if its not specifically YOU who makes my drink i will KILL MYSELF"

tumblr users watching a movie with a black male and a white female lead: what if this was about the white guy appearing for 5 minutes?

i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way

Like the man said…the shadow takes another form and ruses again. Time to make some calls and let them know we’re watching.

Just called my senator and the aide said "Yeah, you're not the first person we've heard from about this today." It is 9:45 in the morning and she already had that weary tone.

So keep calling--the needle is moving!

no matter what anyone says, im a huge fan of the extremely depressing hungarian national anthem, i will always root for this country at any sports event just so i can hear the worlds saddest and most dejected song be played during someones happiest moment

since there is such an "english speakers who don't even try to pronounce a foreign mame correctly" epidemic, native english speakers often try to overcorrect and end up thinking they have a moral imperative to pronounce every foreign name correctly at all times. so i'm gonna hold your hand and look into your eyss as i say this: you can't. you can't pronounce every sound in a language you don't speak. and that's fine. it happens to the rest of us too. we won't be mad so long as you try your best.

“I did some research to pronounce this name correctly” = 👍 great! even if the pronunciation was still off (and learning to pronounce a foreign language correctly takes a lot of practice) people generally appreciate it when someone goes the extra mile for accuracy, and honestly, languages are cool

“I’m probably not saying that correctly”/“sorry for my pronunciation” = 👍 understandable! foreign languages often have sounds that aren’t used in English and learning to correctly pronounce unfamiliar phonemes is genuinely difficult even with help

“lol I’m not even gonna TRY to pronounce that 😂” = 👎 THIS is the problem, if treats languages other than English like they are inherently ‘weird’ or ‘overly complicated’ just because you aren’t familiar with them

“One thousand apologies for my butchering of this beautiful effervescent tongue, I will now flagellate myself as punishment for my crimes” = 👎 chill

[dramatic-dolphin]

yeahhh exactly the point i wanted to make! please please please do not keep trying to pronounce it over and over again. it makes people feel put on the spot and uncomfortable. it feels like you're underlining how Foreign and Difficult the name is. this is not a good feeling. Please Be Normal.
