Just a girl with an obsessive personality... @thesoundofyourheartinyourhead - Tumblr Blog

Ok so your post about the emergency alert reminded me of something VERY FUNNY about it which is that a) my parents also live where there's currently lots of fire, we could see it from the party they threw at the weekend and b) they live in Wales, and so had a slightly different experience of the alert.

Now, the thing about Wales is that *by law* all official government communication must be bilingual. Which means that in Wales, everyone got 2 alerts: one in welsh, and one in english.

Unfortunately, by law the welsh must happen *first*, and so the whole of wales got the fire alert in Welsh: A language that approximately 5% of the population speak well enough to actually understand what was going on.

So imagine, the emergency alert noise goes off. You open your phone. And the most *incomprehensible* collection of letters appear to you. You live in wales, so you know what Welsh looks like, but this is not the vocabulary that you usually see at the train station or on the letter from the council. And it's the emergency alert system. It's probably both Important and Urgent

So people all over Wales are using google lense or whatever to try and get a translations of this alert because this is clearly something Life Threatening. A frantic five minutes for the whole country.

And then the alert arrives in English.

Of course, now the joke is that this is how they force the Welsh Language on people: by making it clear that only Welsh Speakers will be saved from the atom bomb.

this is one of the funniest things i have Ever heard. as someone who grew up in cornwall, which desperately wants to be wales in terms of language and independence but simply doesnt have the push, imagining a universe in which i receive a kernow-only emergency text that is functionally meaningless to me but still sends the terrifying sirens off on your phone to make you think there's a bomb threat is kind of the premise of a horror movie . and that really is how they motivate u to revive a dead language

Sometimes I think about where she might be. Sometimes, I don’t think of her at all. Sometimes I close my eyes, and she’s right there. They both are. But I love them. Both of them. My love for them was as endless as the sea.

Something about Christopher Nolan shooting The Odyssey in only IMAX film sits kinda weird with me. Like what do you mean everyone else who doesnt have access to the 41 big IMAX screens (34 of which are in the North American continent (there's only 1 screen that size in Australia (where I live), 6 in the continent of Europe, and NONE in African/Asian countries)) will not be able to see the full frames of the movie? Will not be able to see the whole movie as intended?? Feels... I don't know. Elitist?? Classist? Definitely giving me something and it's both feeling weird and icky.

CRITICAL ROLE MEME ☆ [2/8] members of the Mighty Nein ⇨ Beauregard Lionett

This is all I have is the Mighty Nein. To the point of where I was so desperate to control the situation of how I theoretically lost you all by attempting to sacrifice myself to that hag. Because…I guess I thought if I could control the way that this ended, even if it’s as innocuous as growing apart, that might be less painful. Because even the thought of simply becoming distant means that that would be the second family that that would have happened to with me, so…I’m all in.
