amir khusrow (1253–1325 CE)

This is back on my dash! And listen, I love to see Amir Khusrau getting appreciation, but this translation ignores a lot. The original rhymes! And scans! And does playful things with register! And conveys a tone of affectionate banter between the two speakers, not least because it has them both addressing each other as sakhi (translated above as “girl”) in the last two lines. I think taking some liberties with line order is worth it to preserve more of the rest—and I think there’s a better translation of sakhi. And so:

He only visits once a year, I splurge big on him when he’s here, His kisses make my tastebuds tango. Who, bitch, your man? Nah, bitch, a mango.

job interviewer, holding a Nintendo 3DS running Tomodachi Life: so would you say you're more quirky or normal? like on a scale of 1-8

everyone rags on dunk for not figuring out egg's a prince but if you were in london for the olympics and a small bald british child started annoying you would you assume that's prince george windsor second in line to the throne of the united kingdom. or would you kick the child.

''when did we all become so performative'' idk man when the threat of being recorded at any time and posted for milions to see without your knowledge became normalised.

im not even really here but started house of guinness and im obsessed. louis partridge is looking all but twelve in his silly lil top hat doing business speak and kendall roying it up while mr gay masters of the air with a cunty ass mustache and an even cuntier attitude is getting broken up in an age of innocence 1993 dir. martin scorsese set by his boytoy he brought back all the way from england and is played of all people by brother dawn of foundation fame. girl sibling is giving judy gemstone barely repressed incoming psychotic break from ironically all the repression she has been doing. when she said she wanted to bite a pheasants head off i knew we had an all timer on our hands. also the vaguely incestuous maternal spousal dynamic she has with louis partridge who got very territorial when his mummysisterwife stepped out with james norton who in turn is doing a very bad discount tom hardy impression was put into this show for me specifically. AND alcoholic failbrother looks like fuckable harry melling with curls u want to humiliate verbally and or sexually. everyone TUNE IN

Gay Anthony Boyle and his diva hag wife just got married and they are being sooooo mean teenage girl best friends whispering to each other about you right in front of your face to the family consigliere and also they just propositioned him for a threesome I think

Nothing more embarrassing than accidentally using a big word wrong because now I'm simultaneously both stupid and pretentious, the worst combination of all time

[quasi-normalcy]

We've not only taken away all of the physical spaces for our children to exist in, we're now taking away the electronic ones as well. I'm sure this won't have any negative consequences.

[lastoneout]

Sorry we really went from free the nipple, take back the night, slut walks, and ending gender/sex segregation in sports being fucking milquetoast feminism 101 concepts to fucking girl dinner and "I just worry about fairness if we let trans girls play against cis ones" and "it was right of that woman to call the cops on a black man for existing near here in public during the day time because men are all violent monsters" and "radical feminism isn't transphobic we just need to kill all men including trans ones those oppressive traitors" and I will legit never be able to be normal about it. What the FUCK happened. I'd say I wonder what the feminists of my youth would say about this but I'm one and lemme tell ya I want to throw up. Go fucking read bell hooks or do something else useful please because all of this learned helplessness, gender essentialism, and transphobia dressed up as feminism is actively holding us back.

I think it’s a bit of an unpopular opinion but I find there’s such a subtle beauty to strategy focused races

[itssquidbian]

romance is a type of friendship and im sick of people pretending like they're two seperate categories. your romantic partner is Supposed to also be your friend like at the very least why are we pitting romance AGAINST friendship when they r intertwined???? romantic partners are also friends and u can have romance with ur friends stop acting like these bitches are seperate forces

[redstonedust]

big fan of when youtubers break out the corkboard and string. thats when you know youre in for an insanely pointless breakdown of a media you're only tangentially familiar with.

Dad: I don’t like these sprint races because nothing happens. It’s like lap 1, lap 2 and the nothing happens and then it’s over
