He'll never ask for help, but that doesn't mean we can't offer it anyway. But do you think he can be helped?

i had time to play a decent amount today and actually further the main quest & companion quests and. i dont have anything eloquent to say this time and im not feeling generous anymore... taash's writing sucks dogshit

Why can’t my brain choose something normal to obsess over like trains or something wtf is Minecraft parkour civilization full movie 

[pricegouge]

wait i need more stuckage examples…. in the oh you thought you were clever way…..my hands are folded in my lap and my ears are open. perhaps fic recs if you posses any?

oh i have no fic recs unfortunately (if anyone has any PLEASE send them in i would love to read 👀) but there's the classic stuck in a wall trope which i like best when it's presented like a shortcut. like 'oh i'll just dip through here it'll shave .07894 minutes off my walk.' because that's the kinda shit i absolutely do every day and one of these days i kinda hope it bites me in the ass.

like lowering the back seat to get into it from the trunk in stead of just going around. sure would be a shame if I got myself all twisted up in the seatbelts and someone came along wouldn't it?

or like. locked myself out of my house so I tried climbing through the window but then couldn't quite manage that last pull but then the window drops shut on me so my ass is just out.

normal stuff like that you know?

test in a severely endangered minority language later today and at this point I’m motivated mainly by spite to create better teaching materials because the ones we have right now are so insufficient. @ guy who decided to teach three tenses when the class only knows three verbs and include more dense examples of English linguistic terminology in a picture-less textbook with few opportunities for naturalistic sentence structure and immersion, I’m hunting you in your sleep

my mother's review of the first two episodes of the terror: "i thought the communication [between the characters] could have been better"

[officiallanxichen]

something I noticed about today's entry is how many short sentences there are :O jirt loves his semicolons but here he's building up the INTENSE suspense with all these itty bitty phrases and I was Glued To My Seat.

Look, is it sometimes inconvenient that 90% of my students don’t speak any English when they start the year with me?

Sure, sometimes.

But nearly three years after I met them, two years after they left my class, they still run up to me screaming my name with hugs and now fluent English. And that’s pretty cool.

If you told me 5 years ago I was thinking about going back to school to persue a BEd, I would not have believed you.

One of my siblings apparently found out the hard way that we can't check out ebooks from the library. Because we all gave our library cards and log-in info to our middle sister, who's a preschool teacher in Thailand, so she could check out picture books to read to her class. So any ebook we check out goes to her kindle.

[sanguinifex]

What the fuck discourse is going on that someone’s saying it’s a moral duty to intentionally scroll past things you can’t read?

Like, what am I supposed to be doing, clicking on something in French and mispronouncing it out loud while having no comprehension what it’s about?

Hypothetical scenario: someone is on Ao3, looking for fanfiction to read. This person only speaks/reads English, and they set the language filter to only show fics written in English.
