i know it’s unimportant but Jean would’ve definitely recognized that Neil and Andrew were speaking German even when he didn’t understand what they were saying, that’s just a European thing
I'm obsessed with the NA bros having an online cooking show. That one comic where they're making sushi kills me. Everyone expects that America will butcher their cultural dishes until it's an unrecognizable grease plate, but Canada doing it as well is just perfect. And I love how Canada has on a ninja costume. I bet America wears a themed costume for each episode and makes Canada do the same.
Does anyone remember Unus Annus? I feel like it's that exact vibe except they are both Mark and Ethan. Oh France is probably so disappointed in Canada lol. He's taught him how to make coq au vin and bœuf bourguignon, but Canada will never be a gourmet.
France and England would be guest stars and the episode would just end with them losing the plot and bickering. Also, England's cuisine would get slandered the entire episode. "Dude, you know WW2 is over, right? You can stop with the rations!"
all is well in france! they didn't just lie about the teenager trying to run over a cop who was supposedly standing in front of the car to stop him (when in reality he was on the side at the car window pointing his gun directly in the car), most of the first media reports presented the kid as a recidivist delinquent to twist the narrative in their favor even though he had no record! also in the video that debunked their claims of legitimate defense, the policeman can be heard saying "open or I'll shoot you in the head". also it's not said here but most of the poc killed by the police in france are men and the numbers of killings by the police are steadily on the rise over the last few years (because of one law that was put in place in 2017 or around that time and gives policemen more situations in which they can use their weapons for legitimate defense or public security) if you still think France is the country of human rights and freedom bla bla bla, think again
Consider Yelan's facial expression to be my own in reaction to opinions shared on both X and Tumblr, and I guess I'm in the minority of the 'loud ones', but I'm pretty excited for Natlan since that trailer, actually. The previous teasers left me a little 'eh', but this definitely got my hopes back up, and I'm back in the right spirits for it (and ready to catch some Pokémon.)
Now I wouldn't be me if I didn't touch on the salt that I've seen scattered across the dash, so here I go. Listen, I read people's objections and I see what you're all aiming at, but in that light want to note that it's often incredibly easy to point fingers (arguably too much so) at others while being, quite honestly, hopefully rather aware that many of our own countries, cultures, and its populations across the board (and no, I'm not excluding anyone here) would likely be just as easily guilty as MHY is with these things. And no, I'm not blindly defending them, but I also won't point fingers at only one without pointing them everywhere else as well, including those you might think would 'never do such things', because I'm absolutely certain that they would. /continues on in the tags.
to try to remember
what you is that nothing much happens for
17 years it was rich
living in isolation in a populous city
remember when I hated my neighbor because he was noisy
I didn’t hate him I couldn’t look at him I wanted to
kick him out he held raves every weekend
I called the cops a lot and worked with a certain policeman
who discovered my neighbor had been arrested in Bordeaux
for breaking furniture he finally stopped paying rent
had to leave then the gardienne and I gave thumbs-up signs
across rue des Messageries she has since moved to Valencia
I’m interested in how totally against him I was
you could say I have sensitive ears that simply react
his mother came up from Toulouse once to help him clean
we were overrun with mice she caught seven
one morning with glue traps excuse me she said I’m the mother of
your neighbor who’s sometimes noisy do you have mice
I tried to tell her I’d seen them slide down the gas-pole like firemen
but I didn’t have the French for that and French firemen don’t
she had a dream of moving to San Diego
I don’t mind any of it except for my ears
I was born receptive and sound shakes me up
I have a poem in which the universe is like a vocal cord
it must also be an ear infinite reception
music destroys thought poetry is it I couldn’t have
been bothered to tell this story in prose A decision was
taken after time began to maintain a prose universe
I have been bored ever since and keep to myself
though contrarily trying to save you from the materials
of your destructive lives masses of noise anything
to forget what and maybe I am only a nerve
or am nerve if you could remember shut up and remember
or is it not remember I am in a state of vibration
every possible sound available why or is it only
something to do the one thing to do or is it only
Helen Morgan again singing Why was I born / Why am I living
I have nothing to show for my time but poems
what do you have
i was born and raised in orlando but was living in north carolina at the time, working at a rural lowes where i wasnt allowed to look at my phone, and the news was shared to me by a customer who was happy a bunch of faggots got what they deserved. and then i had to sit there at work, not allowed to google anything or text anyone, wondering if it was anyone i knew. and it wasnt, but it was people that people i loved knew, and they couldnt donate blood for the survivors because the red cross was the primary provider in the region and they still had men who had sex with men banned from donation.
Someone else on one of my genealogical groups asked for how to access records on the Service du travail obligatoire, France's slave labor program to Nazi Germany. I've been looking for online access to those records for years since I found my great-grandparents in the Arolsen Archive as forced laborers in Munich. I can't help this person because I still haven't found that resource so I'm throwing it out here, anyone know where I and this other person (whom I am presuming is also American) can find records or other resources?
my family is truly in the middle of the classes. the whole first floor of my house is just one room all around excluding the bathroom. we have a cabinet of riches. the entire house is constantly falling apart. we have a cabinet of riches. we have to manually lift the garage door. like with our hands. we have a cabinet of riches
