#dr. phil lester the linguist

[reinventlove]

hey @amazingphil as someone with a linguistics degree, can you also clock people who were tumblr users during specific periods of time? or are you just so cooked from also being on tumblr then that it doesn’t register?

the most disorienting thing thats ever happened to me was when a linguistics major stopped in the middle of our conversation, looked me in the eye, and said, "you have a very interesting vernacular. were you on tumblr in 2014?" and i had to just stand there and process that one for a good ten seconds
