Challenged my husband to give me the most obscene outfit that he could possibly think of.

This was brought up by dress code and a conversation I have had with associates...

I had said I think that people should be able to wear whatever they want within reason (like perhaps a Brazilian bakini made from chainmail isn't necessarily appropriate for day-to-day corporate office hours).

So he said, 'what about thigh highs, assless chaps, a tutu, a blazer, and a beret?"

Smartass so I drew it out (and added a collar for sport).

He got a good chuckle at the rough sketch.

After staring at it my thought was "well, this seems to be an outfit you can only get away with at a pride parade."

(and a couple of other more niche locations but done right it could be tacky enough to be a statement.)

Where did my parents have the time and money to have a social life with a party life style and still were able to rebuild cars and own a house? Wtf?

Just remember kids, AI can't write like a traumatized millennial in a manic episode at 2am on a fullmoon.

Over the last few years, I’ve found plenty of relatable content on this platform regarding topics such as mental health struggles, depression, sadness, and the general weariness of life. This led me to wonder – what is the predominant attitude towards life among Tumblr users?

Currently thinking about non-English translations of Jabberwocky, because it has to be so hard translating a nonsense poem.

And it’s not just making the nonsense words fit the translated language’s morphology, you have to have most of the nonsense words mean something for a later chapter in the book where Humpty Dumpty explains the portmanteau words. So in one Japanese translation, “frumious,” which is a portmanteau of “fuming” and “furious,” is translated as “takeburu,” which draws on the words “takeru,” fierce, and “keburu”, to smoke.

But I also just love the names of the Jabberwock in other languages. In French he’s le Jaseroque, der Jammerwoch in German, Barmaglot in Russian, and at least one Danish translation named him Kloppervok. It’s the one word you could very justifiably keep untranslated, but everyone wants to make the name fit, make it feel at home in the translation.

I have no point here, I just think it’s neat.
