Okay, if I had to simplify my gender into one song, it would absolutely have to be Libiamo ne' lieti calici. Like, I am going absolute feral right now. Do you see this vision of mine.

I'm as surprised as anyone that they just followed the fucking law. But good news for native Americans.

Ok, real talk. Yes, Leo Valdez is Mexican. Why do you make him fluent in Spanish. Need to clarify that I'm Mexican and this is my experience with being bilingual in an English country. Both of my parents are immigrants from ranchos in Mexico and my dad is a Mexican veteran I'm not white washed and my blood is pure. Leo wouldn't be fluent in Spanish. He spent too little time with his mom to remember the language or culture. Just because he's Mexican doesn't mean he likes the food, dances, or language. That doesn't mean he knows any of it. We don't know his foster home experience in depth we just know it was bad, unless you include that maybe he was fostered with a Mexican family then sure. But even then he wouldn't be fluent. He spends too little time in foster homes to learn everything in depth and no you can't remember anything past 5.

This is really sweet bc in Australia a lot of frogs lost their homes to the bushfires. So if he knows it or not, this is a super helpful way for their population to bounce back, and give them a space as they migrate through suburban areas.

If you like frogs. Or possums. Or cool builds. Or happiness. This is the video for you.

the thing about learning linguistics stuff about a language that you know is that every time something happens you go "!!! intrusive r!!" like what is wrong with me

Raised in Browning and East Glacier, Montana, Gladstone is of Piegan Blackfeet, Nez Perce, and European heritage and grew up on the reservation of the Blackfeet Nation. Her mother is white and her father is Blackfeet and Nez Perce. She is a 1st cousin, 4 times removed of William Ewart Gladstone, British Prime Minister. One of her paternal great-great grandfathers was Red Crow, a Kainai Nation chief.

language learning becomes so much easier once you stop translating to your native language in your head

Regarding number 10. If you are going to do this, please be very careful about the source and species of any ladybugs you release. Asian Ladybeetles are often sold for agricultural uses and are highly invasive in the Americas. Please do not release them. Research what species are native to your area and see if you can acquire those. If you can't, then don't.

fun bug-themed activities to do !

Bug hunting! Make a list of the common bugs around your area (Can be done on your own or with friends!), and try to find all of them!! If playing with friends, the first one to find the most wins!

Insect-themed crafting! Search up some cool and neat crafts that are bug-themed! Try to make as many as you can!

Bug hotel building! use your dirt, sticks, and anything you find to make a small bug hotel in the yard!

Bug jars ! Decorate some jars and use them to capture and examine the bugs (Remember to release them!)

ant farm! Set up an ant farm to watch ants and see how they behave.

Bug identification charts caan come in handy! Use these to locate & try to identify random bugs in your area!

Bug art gallery! Make a small gallary out of random bug drawings you make!

insect observation ! This one is easy. follow bugs around and write down the behaviors you notice.

Make insect life cycle models!

ladybug release party! (TO DO WITH FRIENDS) find or buy a lot of ladybugs, and release them with your friends! Celebrate the bug's freedom!!!

Bee garden! (TO DO WITH FRIENDS, A BIT DIFFICULT). Plant a bunch of flowers that bees like! they can be already grown, or new seeds!

Insect art collage! Take pictures of bugs and cut them out, glue them onto a poster board or journal to make a collage of all the bugs you found!

Buy an insect discovery kit! This would be very helpful, and you can use it to collect/find and examine different bugs!

Make short stories about bugs!

ok ok, something just occurred to me and I need to get it out of my head. English is not my first language and imagine it is not the reader's either. But she can speak English very well and hardly forgets the words (since she's been dating Max for so long now that it's almost become her first language), except that every time he fucks her brains out she forgets every single word and she starts moaning and saying things in her natuve language, and he's standing there all proud as he keeps banging her senseless and praising her in English like "look my pretty slut is so fucked she doesn't even remember how to speak properly" and she gets he just moans and nods but she didn't understand a damn thing about what he said and he knows it.

But there are times when she can string together sentences in English and he's standing there confused and disappointed because he couldn't make her forget the English and he says something like "I couldn't get the English out of your pretty little head." ? then it means I didn't fuck you well enough, better if I try again" and starts again but going deeper than before until she stops speaking English. Then that fucking smirk returns and he fucks her even harder. Those are the times where it takes her almost half an hour to recover properly to allow her brain to switch back to English and while he cleans her up and calms her down by praising her in Dutch/English she gestures back to him because otherwise he would be speaking in his native language and he wouldn't understand a word because it's so different from the languages he knows (I speak Italian and I can assure you that it's not easy to learn) but once he surprises her during those moments by praising her something in her native language and she just happy but too tired for answer to him and she wait until she can say something in English and she asks him to keep saying it with that strange accent of his that makes the words sound a little wrong but so cute and he keeps saying it until she falls asleep on his chest with a stupid smile on her face.

(I'm sorry if there are grammatical errors but this is the longest message I've ever written and while I was doing it I was almost fainting because now I need max)

PLEASE IT WOULD BE MAX’S GOAL

and him being pouty if he doesn’t manage to fuck the english out of her is so😭😭😭his competitiveness really jumps out and he just loves to tease and mess with her in public and watch her struggle to string sentences together🫠

I have a question, having finally gotten time to play with the latest Lancer Tactics build. Does there exist any degree of guidance/docs for the module/combat editors? I know it's probably early for anything like, given that it is literally an alpha. But I'm still trying to make something anyway.

(Also it seems to run fine via Wine on Fedora, so like that's cool and means I can play off my laptop between calls in the ambulance it's great)

(It's already quite fun, so delays or not I'm glad to have backed this, for what that's worth)

No docs yet — I know it'll be important to get some creator docs up to get folks using the tool, but yeah it's still in the "building the road under my feet while I'm walking on it" phase. Some more thoughts about it from this ask.

And I'm glad to hear it works well on Wine! I'll get a natuve Linux build together eventually but it's good to know that's an option.

I've been finding a lot of mantises outside lately and have been keeping them. I live pretty far north and theyre not natuve, but from what I know they're not really invasive either. I'm just wondering if I should be taking this from outside and keeping them in captivity untill they kick the bucket or not

Also do you have tips on taking care of mantids? I have a lot of casualties on my hands...

mantises should be kept in tall containers with lots of climbing space. this can mean live plants, sticks, or just keeping them in a mesh butterfly house. if a mantis bangs its eyes against hard glass or plastic, the cells in its eyes become damaged and die, resulting in large black spots and blindness (not good for a visual predator!). a tall enclosure also means they have room to hang to molt.

I assume you have either Tenodera or Mantis; both are sensitive to humidity and need a fair amount of moisture to molt successfully. failed or stuck molts are probably one of the leading causes of death in captive mantises. unfortunately I can’t give you any tips on raising juveniles or anything more specific; I don’t really like keeping mantises so I’ve only ever caught wild adults and kept them around for the month or so they’ve got left to live before autumn (quite hassle-free! no molts, just feeding).

The number one thing that makes me go "we need to kill all natuve english speakers" is the fact that every time a podcast discusses the witcher, one of the hosts will, like a clockwork, complain about her name being Yennefer, and not Jennifer.

Like I don't even care that much about the series, but I think we should make it a law that for the next 25 years english language media must all be based on media in another language, until they're able to stop being weird about it.
