#i hate the english with a passion but….

Feel

This will appear to make no sense, these phrases are silly and metaphorical, but they are a way for me to gift you how I feel

You are a landscape that feels like home, full of love, brightness and passion

I see a photo of a comforting place back home, and I see it as a moment of love frozen in time

You make me feel that

The intimacy of sharing music that is a composition of my love for life and living

It is the clearest language I have found that I can share without having to do the explaining myself

My voice and covers of another's words is my adaptation and interpretation meant for the audience of you

Hearing a fireplace crackling with popping coals gifting warmth, that's how you feel to me

I want to give you all of me, and be intimate in sharing myself and my soul with you

I don't mean the physical, no, I want to share all of my past and all of my future with you without fear or shame

Not needing to understand my motivations or reasons, but supporting me nonetheless

Fear exits when I am with you and leaves me more room for loving every moment of your company

Taking each breath with intention and noting how it feels as it fills my lungs with promise and joy being with you

My words aren't much to offer, but I hope they give you an inkling into how pure and deep my affection for you runs

Even as we are apart, I smile knowing you'll come home to me soon

My wish for you is to accept this, and as I continue to choose you, I know that you will choose me

the only thing i hate about english is the lack of words for love. the synonyms we have are not comparable and i am jealous of other languages flexibility and various words that mean love for different circumstances...anywho i am in love hehe

i love the phrase ”singing praises”. what a beautiful combination of words. the word ’singing’ is often used for the act of singing (preforming songs or tunes with one’s voice by making musical sounds with the voice) but here it is only used to makes the word ’praise’ (express approval or gratitude) seem like such a musical word. like an art form. ’singing’ in this context can also be seen to be used because praising someone is seen as an art. it can go both ways.

Just lived through the experience of vaguely remembering a sentence along the lines of "if we have to die, we should live to the fullest" and trying to determine where it came from

The problem is, since I more or less know three languages, I could not for the life of me understand in which one I learned that phrase and so I kept suffering until I managed to grasp the source of the phrase in my memories

And the main clownery of it all? It was neither of these three languages. It was from Mozart, L'Opéra Rock (Vivre à en crever) which is in fucking french that I only know as well as a couple of years I studied it at school could give me

I need to vent because essays make me inordinately angry

I'm in the middle of my first essay for my basic composition class, which I've already failed once, and I have to redo the entire essay from square one because my thesis "doesn't take a proper stance" on the assigned issue.

Here's my problem. Our prompt is, more or less, "Should teachers give some students extra leniency because their lives are hard?" The options are "No, every student should be held to the same standard, regardless of their situations," and "Yes, we need to level the playing ground to make it fair." Equality vs. Equity and all that.

My brain has decided both of those answers are bullshit and the Real answer is you can have your cake and eat it too.

Unfortunately, this means my response, which is "Professors should offer a small amount of grace to all students, rather than singling certain students out," is not a valid response.

And unfortunately for me, the way my brain works is that I'm Not Allowed to lie. If I lie, it's obvious that I don't believe it.

I've been told a few times, "English is easy! Anything can be the right answer if you back it up properly!" That's bullshit because it doesn't apply to argumentative essays. If it did, I could keep my thesis and essay how they are.

No. Math is easy. Math is objective. Math has One Problem and One Answer. (Even the ones with more than one answer have a single way to write that answer.) Math makes sense.

English? Essays? Every new assignment has new rules, and it's all arbitrary bullshit. It's subjective, and it's stupid.

I wish people who write anti ship posts won't put it in the main tag.

Please have some decency and manners.

Tags are created for filtering content and curating your online experience.

Putting anti ship post in the ship tag ( and not sensoring it in the post itself) is a disrespect to your fellow social platform users.

It creates an unnecessary drama in the fandom and in fact is a biting. Because it would rouse a direct response from someone who is emotional about a topic. And many people are because well, it's a fandom, we are here because we are emotional about it.

Putting anti posts in a main ship tag is a very childish behavior.

I would know. Because I used to be like that 5 years ago and I'm embarrassed of that. I outgrew it since then.

Still hate the ship. Still hate the character. But I don't post my hate or dislike in the main tags anymore.

Because I'm an adult and I do understand that we are all responsibile for curating our own online experience but if people do not agree to use instruments intended for it correctly it nullifies all the effort we put in it.

When you mistag your post it ruins recomendation algorithms. And posts and blogs get reccomended to people even if they blocked the tag.

The block function is not good enough as it is. Please don't make it work even worse than it does now.

Can we please respect each other and have some fandom culture on this site.

Thank you.

im as anti-national as they come. but it sucks that nikki kaye died. i wish more of nat mps were like her. theres less and less of them with socially liberal views and pro-environment values. she actually had a backbone and didnt defer to the party when she disagreed with their stances (opposing multiple environmentally dubious plans, voting in favour of gay marriage). from what i understand she actually did things for her electorate, and worked together with the current mp for the area (the leader of the very left-wing green party) to improve healthcare and wellbeing. her leaving politica in 2020, while understandable because of the cancer that ultimately took her life, marked an uncomfortable and ever more clear shift where the party went from center right to right-wing.
