Apparently not everyone knows the meaning of 'she ate and left no crumbs'. I pity the straight guy who talked to me at the freshers event yesterday

Happiest day or birth to my drag-other-half. What can I say about @bendelacreme that I haven’t already said time and time again. Simultaneously my mentor and my peer— at times my boss; always my bestie— I am who I am today because of you, Dela.
Now have some fun, ya old bitch!

Been bit quiet lately. A lot has happened tho! I'm almost done with the modern Welsh course. I also started ADs. Lots of work on my drag persona too! But most importantly I'm recovering from toxic family and working on cutting ties with them

[Strachan Boi @Pdraig19]

@grace_oduffy @bec_bradburn This looks like the slayest renaissance painting bestie!

[Strachan Boi @Pdraig19]

Besties I've left Slovenia and the toxic family is but dust in my rear view mirror! I feel I can finally breathe again ☺ it's a wonderful feeling

Just a friendly reminder that nobody has the right to stress you out on your own phone

[Hebrew Words @HebreWords]

Hebrew has a verb for sneaking into a place without paying – הִתְפַלֵּחַ (hit.fɑˈlɛ.ɑχ). It is a shortened version of an older verb הִצְטַפְלֵחַ (hit͡s.tɑfˈlɛ.ɑχ) meaning making yourself into an eel.

[Hebrew Words @HebreWords]

The Hebrew word for "linguist" is בַּלְשָׁן (bɑlˈʃɑn). The word comes from a name of one of the returnees from Babylonia mentioned in the Bible (Ezra 2:2; Nehemiah 7:7). The rabbis of the Talmud (Menachot 65a) read "Bilshan" in the list of the returnees as a nickname of the 1/2

@harryestinhorto Can tackle Yiddish together then bestie! Pob hwyl gyda dysgu'r iaith!!

[Strachan Boi @Pdraig19]

My language learning journey is so unnecessarily complicated but I've decided to put my foot down. I'll be focusing on Welsh and Hebrew. I need you guys to keep me accountable

[Strachan Boi @Pdraig19]

Old English used to have an instrumental form of the definite article þȳ. The origin of the form is obscure - potentially from an adj. instrumental -ei > - ī. We can still see this in the comparative construction: 'the Xer the Xer' where 'the' is the remnant of the instrumental
