"Deadname" dejenselo a los gringos, en español tenemos la hermosa palabra "necronimo" y es un desperdicio que no la usen

my uncle was somewhat of a rascal. we were hanging out on the roof of his barn when i was ten, and we saw some shooting stars. he told me they were angels carrying messages from god. then he handed me his old hunting rifle and taught me how to nick one out of the sky, even when it was travelling all fast like that, and how to triangulate its location — taking me out in his rusty truck down dirt roads, unerring and unceasing, until we saw that gleaming lantern. he pocketed the note from god and took me down to a pinboard where he was working on deciphering the language with his friend who was a linguistics major but got kicked out of grad school. after they shook hands, they held on for just a bit too long and i started wondering why my aunt doesn’t live with my uncle anymore, but then my uncle took me back up stairs and taught me how to fry the angel up real nice, halo and all. it was tasty

harry dubois would end death note in one episode. he'd be unkillable bc he has no fucking idea what his name is and then he'd go drink driving and accidentally run light over and the killings would mysteriously stop

today i found out that when monarch butterflies migrate south for the winter, all the ones that go across the middle of lake superior suddenly stop going south and go west for five miles and then continue south. which really freaked scientists out cos like What is in the Middle of Lake Superior what do Butterflies know that We Dont Is This The End Times etc. anyway turns out about a hundred million years ago there was a mountain there and the butterflies still think they gotta fly around it. classic butterflies

toda latam unida contra Emilia Perez porque la película es un insulto a la cultura mexicana, el director dijo que éramos básicamente monos, y la actriz principal se la agarró con Fernanda Torres

ah yes, my favourite foreign language feel, “I know what all of those words mean individually but not together like that”

“In 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, “Do not let the historian find out about this.” To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the king’s fall.“

LMFAOOOOOO rip to that guy

Watching 1883 and it kinda reminds me of the literatura gauchesca from my country. Like, I guess this isn’t news but I never stopped to think about how the cowboy (at least, as they’re portrayed in this show) is so similar to the gaucho. They describe them as men with no home, or rather, with the open fields as their home, who have almost no possessions except for their horse, their saddle and their weapon. The ground is their bed and the stars their ceiling. And it’s like, that’s Martin Fierro, you’re describing Martin Fierro.

And also the way people are starting to put fences and barbed wire to divide the country instead of leaving the cattle to graze on the open fields is also shown as an issue for the cowboys in the show (and it’s in part what led to the “death” of the gaucho, as they could no longer roam without being punished for trespassing).

Hell you could even draw parallels between the way the landscape is described in the show to the way Sarmiento (and many more authors too) does it in his Facundo. And I really doubt Taylor Sheridan has read it.

Bruh I just wanted to cook my meat with some spice and ended up in a half-hour side quest fighting the army of weevils in my cupboards
