#speaking like an American

[inspectorspacetimerevisited]

Nobody seems to bat an eyelash at the head of a extra-governmental organisation in Australia speaking like an American,

while people relentlessly tease Brennan for his Perthian roots.

rated this video is NOT CUTE. the american being filmed has no visible access to a large beverage, which is necessary for an american's habitat and enrichment. without such access, distress is inevitable. please be sensitive in sharing this video :(

Someone needs to do an analysis on the way the Kung Fu Panda movies use old-fashioned vs. modern language ("Panda we meet at last"/"Hey how's it going") and old-fashioned vs. modern settings (forbidden-city-esque palaces/modern-ish Chinese restaurant) to indicate class differences in their characters, and how those class differences create underlying tensions and misunderstandings.

maffhew who refuses to say runebergin torttu because he knows hes gonna butcher it so bad he might be kicked out of the country the second he tries and staunchly avoids that by going "the one dessert that barky is going to have to explain 😃"

sasha who gets faced with the most generic description of everything hes ever eaten in his life so far because of maffhew and going "???... oh you mean runebergin torttu!"

"he did good he liked the food and he likes the finland so far so its good" sasha says with so much pride now that all the anxiety has left his system that his husband teammate is enjoying his country and doesnt hate it

the smile of a man who knowlingly doomed his husband and said husband using all his brain power to context clues his way to whatever the fuck he just got asked that his brain is running hotter than a mid 2012 macbook air thats somehow still alive in the year of the lord 2024 but girl does she chug along shes louder than a fighter jet

the problem with being in academia while having a not-very-common american surname is that you and your cousins always get a “3% plagiarized” score because we all have published papers under our last names.

this WOULD be solved if any of my 3 academia cousins changed their last names when they got married, but they already had their PHDs/MDs at that point and it was legally and logistically too much of a headache.

so anytime i have to turn in a paper it always has this “3% plagiarized” score on turnitin just because of my full name. and it ALWAYS gets flagged in the system JUST because of ONE unique word.

I am permanently stepping back from all delusional people (mostly extended family) in my life. I don’t want to debate with them, my energy is better spent elsewhere.

From this point forward I will counter anyone who makes a statement about this traitor’s great character, especially when it’s based on staged events any fool could see are for photo ops only. No way to polish this turd, nope not having it. 💩💩💩💩

OMG, I’m really disappointed with some of the folks, I never wanted to believe they were this stupid. I refuse to pretend it’s ok. Not a matter of politics at this point, it’s a chasm between polar opposite personal values and worldviews.

Time to unleash and amplify the energy from the dawning of the age of Aquarius. It’s real, y’all.

"maybe dnp can't go because of the language barrier" Please! We are watching dnp in the same language as you, we are interacting with the phandom in the same language as you. I promise you that all of us who are asking for the tour can undestand them perfectly so stop being condescending and treating us like toddlers when we are speaking two languages and you can only speak one.

Hallo mein Name ist Ebenholz Dunkel'heit Demenz Raben Weg und ich habe langes ebenholz-schwarzes Haar (so habe ich meinen Namen gekriegt) mit lila Strähnen und roten Spitzen das bis zur Mitte meines Rückens geht und eisblaue Augen wie durchsichtige Tränen und viele Leute sagen mir, dass ich wie Alma Unterwindseite aussehe (A. d. A.: wenn du nich weist wer sie ist dann verpiss dich von hier!). Ich bin nicht mit Gerhard Weg verwandt, aber ich wünschte ich wäre es, weil er ein verdammt heißer Feger ist. Ich bin ein Vampir, aber meine Zähne sind gerade und weiß. Ich habe blasse weiße Haut. Ich bin auch eine Hexe, und ich gehe auf eine Zauberschule namens Schweinwarzen in England, wo ich in der siebten Jahrgangsstufe bin (ich bin siebzehn). Ich bin ein Grufti (falls das euch nicht klar war) und ich trage vor allem schwarz. Ich liebe Heißes Thema und kaufe dort alle meine Klamotten. Heute zum Beispiel trug ich ein schwarzes Korsett mit passender Spitze drum herum und einen schwarzen Leder-Minirock, rosa Netzstrümpfe und schwarze Springerstiefel. Ich trug schwarzen Lippenstift, weiße Grundierung, schwarzen Augenkonturenstift und roten Lidschatten. Ich ging aus Schweinwarzen raus. Es schneite und regnete, also war keine Sonne da, worüber ich sehr glücklich war. Viele Popper starrten mich an. Ich zeigte ihnen den Stinkefinger.

My writing/reading question of the day:

Do you prefer present tense or past tense? Or something entirely different like future tense? For writing AND reading🫶

The more I write (I wish I realized how fun it was before this year😭😭😭) the more I realize I like to play around with language & tense choice can have such a profound impact on how your writing comes across & even how I feel as I’m writing. With my oneshots I’ve been playing around with only present tense & my main fic is past tense (but present during the flashbacks - idk don’t ask it just felt right😆).

Or does nobody else think about tense and I’m just alone in this😆😆😆 LANGUAGE IS JUST SO COOL !!!!

This is the only thing I'm going to say about the election until it's over:

Anyone who did not vote for Harris or who attempted to dissuade people from voting for Harris, you are indirectly responsible for whatever shit Donald Trump does if he gets elected. That blood is primarily on his hands, yes. But it is also on yours. I hope you can live with that because I sure as hell wouldn't be able to.

This is an anti-abled-curse post specifically for disabled folks or any kind:

If you see a post saying you’re not allowed to feel impending doom and despair about the upcoming election and everyone needs to ‘fight’ or ‘stand up to—‘ etc. , it’s been vanquished. You do not need to feel guilty for feeling fear and grief for the potential death sentence that this election is for us, or for the fact that you are unable to participate in ‘the fight’.

Abled people very frequently forget about us in their revolutionary posts to begin with, but we also aren’t required to feel even more shitty about an already shitty situation because they are feeling very brave and hoo-rah about it.

Hold this in your heart: You are allowed to feel however you feel about how this personally affects you and your loved ones/community AND you’re allowed to express these feelings. You are allowed to be afraid. You are allowed to grieve. You are allowed to be angry. You do not have to grab an axe and join in the imaginary revolution that most of these people will most likely not be participating in anyway.

Abled curse vanquished. Go on with your day.

man reading folks say LITBC is most likely~ and probably~ inspired by shows like Sex in the City & Friends is so wild to me and makes me wanna write something about like, other Korean media about relationships set in Seoul (which are like, so fucking many lmao like are we playing? are we acting out? are we being silly?) or otherwise about sex, love and life in a big city

idk why fandom always wants to connect things back to America like sure American media is fucking everywhere cause America is Like That (unfortunate) but idk man the author himself talked about what inspired LITBC and it wasn't some American tv shows three decades old

anyway if you dig LITBC I think it'd be worth reading Until I Meet My Husband both the BL manga (published by Penguin) and the original memoir (published by 7Seas). It's got similar vibes and is also about a gay man navigating his sexuality, coming out, life and relationships.

how do i carry my anger without letting it take root in my bones? to hold on to red hot fury without letting it burn me hollow? how do i live with a flame in my chest without becoming ash?
