“online fandom bestie that you once shared intense intimacies with but don’t really talk to anymore simply bc we drifted into new blorbo obsessions” is such a specific type of relationship that has to be impossible to explain to anyone who hasn’t experienced it

Mahmoud Darwish, from a poem titled "How Do I Write Above The Clouds," featured in If I Were Another: Poems

[luckystarinsky]

when mary oliver said ‘if you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. give in to it.’

and mahmoud darwish said ‘and if happiness should surprise you again, do not mention its previous betrayal.

enter into the happiness, and burst.’

Hourensou [ほうれんそう] means spinach, but it’s also a mnemonic for good working practices.

報 [hou] → 報告 [houkoku] / report

連 [ren] → 連絡 [renraku] / contact

相 [sou] → 相談 [soudan] / consult

Basically, it means to (1) report your progress to your boss, (2) keep the relevant people abreast of what’s going on, and (3) get advice from your superiors.

But this bunny has other ideas. She’s having a much nicer time of things.

放 [hou] → 放置 [houchi] / abandon, leave alone

連 [ren] → 連休 [renkyuu] / consecutive days off

早 [sou] → 早退 [soutai] / go home early

When Khaled Hosseini wrote “a man's heart is a wretched, wretched thing. It isn't like a mother's womb. It won't bleed. It won't stretch to make room for you.” I had to stop, put the book down and breathe because never had a sentence knocked the breath out of me like that did.

And when he wrote, “Learn this once and learn it well, my daughter:  Like a compass needle always points north, a man’s accusing finger always finds a woman.”

[onlyspencer]

also when he wrote, “children aren’t colouring books. you don’t get to fill them with your favourite colours.”

[tommydoesntpayforsuits]

Holy shit, this one: “Learn this once and learn it well, my daughter:  Like a compass needle always points north, a man’s accusing finger always finds a woman.”

"That sounds like a good idea......."-"Is there something bothering you with the idea?"-"No, the idea is GOOD.....🙂"

[biteswhenprovoked]

Can someone explain this to me?

[cop-disliker69]

Old people use quotation marks to indicate emphasis, as a substitute for italics (which many of them could not produce on the old typewriters they learned to write on), whereas young people use them to indicate sarcasm or falseness. They’re used as “scare quotes”.

And old people use ellipses simply to indicate a pause, or for some other incomprehensible reason I’m not aware of. But young people use ellipses to indicate passive-aggression.

So an old person could type something like:

how are things going with your “boyfriend”….

and what they mean is

How are things going with your boyfriend? [Im so excited for you, sweetie, and I wanna hear about it]

But a young person would interpret that sentence as

How are things going with your so-called boyfriend…. [I say, while seething with contempt for him and possibly for you too]

The linguistic difference across generations is beautifully explained here thank you
