"Comment ça va?" basically means "how are you?" Replying to "comment ça va?" With just "ça va" is the French equivalent of "How's it going?" "It's going"

Liveblogging so I have something to do today

Just finished French class! I like this language. Now I can say shit like J'aime dormir :3

The urge to learn every language and play every instrument and travel the world and live through every historical time period and be a writer and a poet and an actor and

So I'm reading academic articles about werewolves for Reasons, and I've come across this one study describing a possible link between the delusion of lycanthropy with severe depressive disorder, which is very interesting and all, but guys-

They identified eight cases of lycanthropy within a certain area over a twenty year period for the purpose of the study. Seven of eight reported to have changed into dogs (i.e. traditional lycanthropic delusion). And that last one, you might ask?

Well, you see, number eight reported transforming into a cow.

Now as you might imagine, this is quite a rare report. In fact, aside from the biblical account of king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, there is only one other known report of such a case also from Babylon circa AD 1000~ in which Avicenna describes one of his patients "who claimed he was a cow and bellowed like one."

Avicenna apparently told his patient that a butcher was on the way to slaughter him and tied him up. Then he left, returned dressed as a butcher, told the guy he was too lean to be butchered and he had to put on some weight. He untied the guy who then began to happily eat, regained his strength, and was reportedly cured of his delusion.

From studying revolutionary history I've learned two things: when the killing starts militant leftists die first and moderate leftists die second.

Typically, some militants survive and go on to form the nucleus of guerilla groups. But, and I cannot stress this enough, the moderates (see: the people who did nothing at all) get almost entirely wiped out.

I've also learned that fascists desire a certain level of armed resistance in order to justify killing people who disagree with them. If the militant left-wing does not provide this resistance, then the fascists will manufacture it themselves.

here’s the thing. i’ve gotten in my own head. i feel like my fic ideas are too ambitious/bold for my skill level, specifically looking at writing sexy things. like i feel like if it’s gonna be weird conceptually it’s gotta be solid structurally, you know? but the little bit of smut i wrote like three(?) years ago makes me cringe (because i wrote it, and also i know it’s not totally amazing objectively, even though i published those short blurbs with the intent of revisiting/rewriting/expanding upon them at a later date) (also i’ll be so real, there’s not much irl inspo i can draw upon, if that wasn’t blatantly obvious) and i’m down to be self-indulgent and experimental but i also want to be proud of what i’ve written and hnnnnnnnnnngggggggg

tlt made me realize that i have no idea what’s going on in nz. and for seemingly no reason. like the entire country is a mystery to me i have no idea what its like on a day to day basis and there’s no language barrier or anything. why do americans never talk about nz

my most random ill informed guess would be we kind of think of it as Australia 2

ill i have to say is research it now that youre more aware of it. watch some videos read some articles its a really cool place. i learned that before humans lived on the island the only mammals they had were bats and marine mammals. the maori brought the Polynesian dog and Polynesian rat. everything else came from the europeans

this is a whole ass thesis on the culture of hip hop and how Drake sucks and it might be the best video essays I’ve ever watched. This creator is also incredible - he has so many videos that are so informative and I was genuinely excited when he announced he was making a video of the whole beef.

please watch it - it’s worth it.
