hey white people . if u dont know how to pronounce an ethnic persons name *google it* or if its someone ur talking directly to *ask them*. dont fucking do that "erm i dont know how to pronounce but __" or "im gonna butcher this haha" or "im not even gonna bother trying" . ur not funny. do u know what poc think when they hear u saying that ? u sound like a loser asshole and we dont want to spend time with u . im so fucking tired of watching youtube videos about media from my country and hearing those phrases. im tired of people saying that to my face . i respect someone who clearly looked it up and is tryong but says my name wrong over someone who just goes with whatever bad first guess they had without trying. u have too many resources at ur disposal to keep doing this. for the love of god just Fucking Try. if ur confused Just Try.

I highly recommend Forvo.com, the website where native speakers of a language contribute their time and voices to read words and names in their own language. It is a fantastic way to expand your world, open up your ears, and it's way more likely to nab a hit than just googling.

wow , I didn't know this existed, thanks so much for sharing the resource !! I will absolutely be using it now too 🖤

Getting into a serious relationship where we’ve talked about moving in together got me thinking more seriously about future living situations which inspired me to think about having a nicer space and nicer things and room to host, which coincided with catching up on bridgerton, which inspired me to start sewing & embroidering home goods again HOWEVER it does sometimes feel like “well I have met a marriageable candidate, I’m behind on my trousseau”

don’t ever kill your self because maybe someday you will get brunch with your tumblr mutual

Sometimes I feel like such a huge fucking idiot for not managing my money better and spending a little more than I’d like on food delivery when I’m tired from work etc. And then I’m like, oh yeah, my stipend comes out to less than a full time minimum wage income and my rent has gone up 35% since I moved in and we’re in a cost of living crisis. And I’m doing a PhD while chronically ill.

I had a dream last night about being on vacation with my boyfriend’s family at an expensive hotel in Hungary and the hotel’s signature dish was a chocolate mousse cake with a dark chocolate shell on top and all day I’ve been wanting that damn cake

THANK YOUUU

What is up with lefty types pushing to learn practical skills (sewing/gardening/etc whatever) as like "you'll need to know this after The Revolution:tm:" and not, like, "this is a useful skill to help yourself & others in your communities Right Now". You all sound like doomsday preppers and it's weirding me out. We don't have to prep for communist rapture maybe thee revolution starts with helping your neighbors
