ik i'm guilty of making a similar joke but. "how could a man write a woman character so well" is like. i mean do you not see how you are propagating gender essentialist thinking here + playing into "woman's mind is unknowable to man" ideology

i hadn’t watched train dog with sound. crucial error.

Like, no, I don't think loanwords have to be pronounced the way they are in the source language. But insisting that the Spanish e sound is essentially the same as the English "ey" is just stupid.

[liisa @Liisode]

How do anglophones even learn languages in school?? Basically every single language I've ever learned has required learning phonemes that don't exist in Finnish! Most Finnish people are perfectly capable of pronouncing θ, ð and ʒ, none of which exist in Finnish!!

In a world saturated with AI, this is like a welcome cry of relief

The Neil Gaiman example later in this thread is absolutely evergreen because he's such a perfect case study for "terrible people can make very good and very progressive, empathetic pieces of art". The sooner we stop conflating someone's morality with their work the better.

European blueberries (the ones that are also called bilberries) are incredible. The American kind that are grown in bushes taste like nothing!

[roxy demento @falseroxy]

everyone be real with me. have i just only had bad blueberries for 44 years, or do blueberries not taste like anything?

I love the public library because it combines two of my favorite things: books and free stuff

[🅱️💵 ultra stan pines enjoyer 3000 @GoreMagala]

confession i dont get why we judge a language for how it pronounces a loanword bc im pretty sure there isnt a single language on earth that actually preserves the native pronunciation of all its loanwords. like its literally a completely natural linguistic process you guys its ok

[JT @Jtaylor0_3]

I think people thinking finales are more often than not bad endings is just a symptom of people not liking things ending

I'm always gobsmacked by Mønsted's paintings. He had a rare gift for painting snow. The subtle colors and the reflected light are just perfect.

Could there be a better demonstration why you shouldn’t body shame people, even if you think they’re terrible

[jeanne ne sais quoi @MetaReflexive]

you ever looks more closely at someone pfp and realize it’s nothing like what your brain filled in glancing at the small image

the best graffiti i have ever seen in my life at the library today
