There is no right time. There is only time, and what we choose to do with it, and whom we choose to spend it with. #thoughts #reminiscence #greece #wanderlust #beforetimes #timeisprecious #noamountofmoneyeverboughtasecondoftime #likethedesertsmisstherain https://www.instagram.com/p/CSaQgYnprrg/?utm_medium=tumblr

By Lingo: Beforetimes

The last year or so has brought a lot of COVID-related terms into our daily vocabulary, some are brand new (like COVID), and others are old words we’ve blown the dust off and put back to work. One word that’s been given a new lease on life is beforetimes, which first showed up in the middle of the 1400s. Talking about the beforetimes has become common because we are all referring to the same before - rarely does an event radically alter everyone’s lives so quickly and profoundly. If you want to mix things up you can use one of the other old of the word, including aforetimes and foretimes. The Oxford English Dictionary lists beforetimes as ‘archaic’, but that was in, well, the beforetimes.

By Lingo is found on the puzzles page in every edition. Every so often I drag out at old favourite to share here on Superlinguo. If you’re in Australia you can pick up a copy of The Big Issue from one of the street vendors every fortnight!

#TBT A year ago today I was learning how the Rancher (WATERAX fire pump) worked in anticipation of lots and lots of prescribed burns. Today we went over the Rancher again, with a new Americorps crew, in anticipation of at least a few burns (hoping for no new global disruptions this fire season!). I was a little less silly this time.

man ok even though im obsessed with a character slated to die in my demons world rn i have to say Marlon and Ikoria. they're doomed from the start being born into a world that knows the apocalypse is coming and yet they do everything they can making the aeronauts; knowing nothing will ever be enough to stop it or fix it or anything. they're soooo toxic for each other and make each other worse but it doesn't matter cos they won't live long enough to see it all come crashing down around their ears <3

it was all fucked and they couldn't stop it but there was love and it mattered!!! you know!!!!!

Realizing this time circa 2019 I was simultaneously crying my eyes out all over the city whilst still proving my badassery to myself in Paris and there is nothing more that I want to do but go back and re-experience that place with drier eyes; buuut in the meantime just a photo dump from the #beforetimes 🌞 that are slowly creeping back to us • • • #arewethereyet #backtosociety #intothethickofit #girlsinglasses #adventurousstorytellers #radstorytellers #pursuitofportraits #selfcare #loveyourself #shotoniphone #vsco #vscocam #vscoedits #2019throwback #livemusic #nostalgia #imissmyfriends #starterpack #photodump #rosebowl #prosoccer #onelovefestival #reggaefest #longbeach #sublime #sublimewithrome ❤️💛💚 #onelovecalifest #santabarbara (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeafgxAOCBV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

That one time when when I paid for an expedited passport renewal. (I STILL have not used it since…) I remember all of the PSA’s reminding us to wash our hands… I remember that the bathroom at the passport photo studio was disgusting… But there was soap and there was toilet paper… 🧼 🧻 🦠 🙈 * * * #beforetimes #march2020 (at New York City, N.Y.) https://www.instagram.com/p/Caz5VESuKny/?utm_medium=tumblr
