it makes me smile when you're reading a webcomic and the person is clearly very good at drawing and at drawing people specifically and then an animal crawls onscreen and it's like this

The 'ingredients you can pronounce means it's healthy' line implies a world in which the kind of nutrition a person requires scales with their biology education and grasp of phonics. Which isn't true, of course, but sure would imply some interesting worldbuilding if it were

Just got an awesome new kitten sticker book and the stickers are glittery. All of the words are in Chinese but kitten memes transcend language.

and if i said i think the flowers are representations of kris and their issues?

(and even if Pink isn’t a flower it’s Pretty Obvious what she’s supposed to represent)

My son gave me a card that said, "You are the best mom ever" so I asked him if he collected empirical evidence to back up that claim. He admitted to doing no research at all; therefore it's purely anecdotal and cannot be trusted. I have hung this sentimental atrocity on my office wall.

huge fan of when characters love each other and are closely bonded in an explicitly nonromantic way. however ☝️ i am very much not a huge fan of what happens when characters like this are introduced to fandom

Yeah NormalNPC becoming the "Hometown butcher" was not in my chapter 5 bingo

the problem with writing fantasy is that i have to constantly stop myself from having people say "jesus fucking christ." jesus didn't exist here dammit. i need a fake swear that means the same thing i think

I do hate when politicians do something shady and ask for privacy. You are a public figure. You are not some guy who had a video randomly go viral or an actor trying to make a living and have some semblance of a life outside. You are a politician. You mudslung, campaigned, fearmongered and lied your way to the top. This was a choice you made, you wanted to make decisions for us. And noe you’re begging for privacy while your 85 year old body gives out on you during your term in congress or your wife divorces you for cheating on her or you got a DUI in your new sports car? Nuh uh uhhhhhh.

Hi im a librarian amd that's not now this works. If a library allows you to have a digital card and not live in the area, you are NOT taking away resources from other people, that's not how anything works. Please keep doing it!!! The more people that use our services, the more money we can get from funding sources!!! Please use us!!! We are not utilized enough, by people in or out of our community. Thanks.

They’ve been rebuilding the Tower of Babel, but this time they have a team of linguists on site. Every time God smites the builders and invents a dozen new languages, the linguists have a dozen decently sized translations in about a month and work can start up again.

The linguists have been really into it. They say the new phonemes are fascinating. As for God, I assume that at this point he’s just curious to see how far this goes.

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

To keep us on out toes, God gives the next group of builders an extra place of articulation called the flongus between the pharynx and the glottis, creating an entire new column of the IPA chart with sounds between sounds that are literally physiologically impossible for non-flongled people to replicate.

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

Improved symbols for the flongal plosives ("gacks"), flongal trill ("hacks"), flongal fricatives ("groans"), and and the flongal lateral approximant ("moans")

[inthefallofasparrow]

Update: The builders have now simply switched to communicating entirely through a universal sign language like they should've done to start with. No sounds need be spoken, flongal or otherwise. The Tower steadily rises. Be seeing you soon, God, you little bitch.

[koth-harvest-final]

update: the builders are all speaking different sign languages now

[ongoing-catastrophe]

Update: there is now a subsection of humans with 6 fingered double jointed hands who can make signs no one else can replicate
