Hello, how are you? I hope I am not bothering you. I'm writing to you as I am living through the hardest moments of my life. Hashem is slowly dying in front of my eyes and our children. He needs an urgent surgery, and I am helpless to save him. Please, your donation and sharing of our story could be the reason my husband's life is saved. My children deserve not to lose their father.

The chicken chain was told to "cluck off" the last time it tried to move into the UK. This time, it hired bigger guns.
me: "have they tried not being fucking ignorant religious bigots?"
article: âI suspect that a bit of the steam has gone out of the LGBT thing,â Backman told the right-wing outlet, staying ahead of the issue. âThere may be the odd protester, but if they have got armies of PR people laser-focused on that then I suspect it may be OK.â
me: no surprises there... fuck them
sandwich recipe
We go through a lot of pickles here and this recipe is a good way to use leftover brine.
The thing that pisses me off the most though is the fact I know so many LGBTQ+ individuals that still go there, and they are surprised when I actually don't. It's literally like that tweet.
United Front: Breasts Without the Airbrush
The shocking thing about Laura Dodsworthâs pictures of 100 womenâs breasts isnât the flesh on show, or the many shapes and sizes, but the realisation that images of unairbrushed, non-uniform breasts seem to be so rare. âWe see images of breasts everywhere,â says the 41-year-old photographer, âbut theyâre unreal. They create an unflattering comparison but also an unobtainable ideal. I wanted to rehumanise women through honest photography.â

Theyâre calling emojis âhieroglyphsâ again and I should be allowed to do a little grievous bodily harm as a treat. The only way you escape is if you can show me examples of a tense system, a nominal phrase, and an adverb using emojis. If not, well, then itâs clobbering time.
Where do we stand on the idea of emojis serving as determinitives (or however its spelled) can an emoji tell me if the sentence is in the past? Not really. But it can help me understand the intent and emotions behind the sentence
(Actually I'm not sure determinitive is the word I'm looking for but its the closest I can think of)
Determinative is the correct word, but no they still cannot be used this way.
Hieroglyphs are used to write only one language Egyptian. There is Old, Middle, and Late Egyptian, but these are all still progressive forms of the same language, even if grammar and spelling different between them. Culturally, the Hieroglyphic signs do not change meaning during this. A đ sign always means the word has something to do with something going into the mouth or speaking. A đ sign always comes with words to do with animal legs or certain types of power. They're relatively static.
Emojis are a global script. Anyone in any language can use them to convey an additional emotion or tone, but they do not have global meaning. As I've said before on this post:đin the anglosphere and several other countries means 'okay', but you use that sign with someone from Brazil or various countries in the Middle East and essentially you're telling someone to 'get fucked.' The same goes for đș the Japanese Tengu, which, for years before đ was introduced, was used in place of 'the devil' as something evil, whereas Tengu are (more recently) troublemakers but more of a mischievous kind and can even be protective. Even đ can have its problems. Many people will interpret it as a smile, that things are good, but some people will interpret it as a sign of dissatisfaction or upset because đ is used more commonly where they are.
Beyond cultural issues, the use of emoji to accompany or provide tone to an existing language is inherently personal. An individualistic use of a script, varying from person to person in terms of meaning and understanding, can never be considered to be a language in and of itself. It's not standardised, each country uses emojis for different meanings, and each subculture within those countries will have different meanings again. Hieroglyphs do not do this because they have standardised meanings.
Finally, we have to address the fact that emojis, while they might have an emotional meaning or represent a physical object, do not have any phonemes attached to them. They are not spoken, they do not have sounds (unless, pedantically, we're saying the letter/number signs do but then they're part of existing scripts and shouldn't be counted). There is the Rebus principle where signs literal meaning can be taken to make them have a sound like đïžđđ„Ź'eye bee leaf' or 'I believe' but that's still only forming a language that exists rather than emojis being a language themselves.
Hieroglyphs on the other hand are logoconsonantal, which means they are logograms (literal depictions of what they are) but also have consonantal value (sounds). For instance, 'house' is written with a sign that represents a bird's eye view of a basic floorplan of an Egyptian house đ. That sign (đ) has the consonantal value 'pr' which, on it's own with just that sign reads 'house' (usually with a single stroke (đ€) to indicate just one). However, the two-consonantal phoneme 'pr' can be used in other words that have nothing to do with a house. For instance: đđđ» 'pr' with a mouth sign (that has the consonantal value of 'r') and the walking legs determinative (in this case it is unread because it's a determinative, but it can have the value 'jw' that on it's own means 'to go forth'). Those three signs combined mean 'pr' 'to come'. For evidentiary consistency's sake we'll do another example: đ this sign on its own, or accompanied by a single stroke đ đ€, has the consonantal value of sÈ and the meaning of 'duck'. However, combine đ đ€ with đ and you get đ đđ€

However, combine đ đ€ with đ and you get đ đđ€ sÈ 'son'. The man functions as the determinative in son' to separate reading sÈ as 'duck' because the phoneme is the same. Then, if I want to be really thorough, I can just write đđ€ 's' 'man' if I take away the đ . For a full reading I'd add a one consonant sign đ 's' and then the man would go back to just being a determinative.
All this is without getting into grammar with the use of pronouns, suffixes, and tenses, which I could do, but I think I've made my point pretty clear.
Emojis are a script of ideograms that represent emotions or a literal object rather than sounds, though they can be manipulated using the Rebus principle. The meaning of each of them is heavily dependent on the users current language, country of origin, and cultural background. Hieroglyphs are a logoconsonantal script, where each sign has consonantal value or phonemes that when stood alone or grouped with other signs form words within the various stages of the Ancient Egyptian language. These meanings are set, they do not differ over various parts of Egypt, and are not dependent on the individual using them.
That is why emojis and hieroglyphs are not remotely the same thing.
Bro absolutely COOKED with this.
If you ever hear the phrase "fascism is aesthetics as politics," that's what this post is talking about.
It's not about being tough on crime, because the absolute toughest most brutal measure you could take against "crime" as a social problem is to alleviate poverty, and increase access to education, healthcare and social mobility.
It's about performing "tough on crime" as an aesthetic by enacting violence against a prop, i.e. minorities and the impoverished, who are fetishized and objectified to represent "crime." They are brutalized as punishment for crime, but never with the purpose of alleviating the problem of crime.
This is why a lot of conservatives and other right wingers can get straight up angry when you suggest things like reform or social measures to reduce crime. They don't want crime to be reduced, they want an eternal war against "crime" because it provides an arena for the righteous to demonstrate virtue by brutalizing their enemies.
the thing that gets me about Mother's Boy every time is that Buck's storyline leading up to it is about him not being sure if people accept the changes in him and that he struggles with knowing who he actually is vs. who he thinks people want/expect him to be, and then he's faced with a woman who literally wants him to be someone else because she thinks he'd be good at it. and he says no and plays along just to escape and tries to talk her out of it...up until he hears Eddie, and then he's willing to put aside all that growth to save him. He'll do it, he's ready to be Derek.
the thing that gets me about Mother's Boy every time is that you have Eddie who has struggled for seasons with people assuming the worst possible outcome about who he is. just in season 9 he had the lawyer touting that he's some violent, angry man and Abigail's father thinks he's taking advantage of her (fuck him, by the way), and the sheriff thinks he killed Buck. And then you have him trying to find out about Buck. He apologizes for taking Hector's clothes, he pays money for that shitty car. Until he's faced with what he thinks is a situation where Buck is in danger or already dead and then he's ready to embrace that false reputation he's been trying to disprove. He's ready to shoot, kill, fight to save him.
and finally, the thing that gets me about Mother's Boy every time is that in the end...neither one of them has to give up their individual journeys because the other has their back. Buck saves Eddie from embracing that false interpretation of him. Buck is the one who does any of the actual damage by using the cattle prod on Earl. Eddie was willing to shoot. He had the gun ready. But Buck stopped him from having to. And Eddie saves Buck from falling back into being what others want him to be. He screams "Buck", Buck's preferred name, loudly and repeatedly. Buck was willing to "be Derek" but Eddie made sure he didn't have to be. Eddie stopped him from having to.

i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af
i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience
say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!

Wait, hold on, I can illustrate it in a funnier way
Thereâs around one and a half Frances between me and the Amazon rainforest.
I had no idea âcoachâ could also mean âbusâ until like, a second ago and I stared at your reply in disbelief for a good minute because I thought you were telling me to do the trip in a horse-drawn carriage. I was like âCoach?! Like Cinderella?! Where would I even get- that HAS to be slower than a car!â
