I’ve never reblogged anything so quick

Another random one: A friend in college played the zither (= 古筝 guzheng). It just occurred to me now that I have no idea where "zither" comes from, and the answer is German (from the Latin cythara / Greek kithara). Now maybe other people happen to know about non-Chinese zithers, but this word was not in any way helpful as someone who has encountered 古筝s multiple times and zithers zero times.

i've been watching Americas Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, and the older DCCs talking about how they didn't expect to be paid because it was a privilege just to get to cheer but these new millennials treat it like a job, and then you get the boomers talking about how their auditions were just to come out and sway around to disco music for one minute vs. now you see the new generation which are clearly professionally skilled dancers who have been training since birth coming out and delivering meticulously choreographed routines that are being filmed for a freaking netflix show. and then you realize that these women are like a dentist, a nurse, like trained professionals working full times jobs from 8-4 who then go to cheer practices from like 7-midnight like laksdjflkajsdlfkjasdl. yeah crazy that these skilled professionals who are also professionally skilled dancers and are working 14 hour days treat it like a job instead of a privilege.

The phrase "hell apparently migrated" made me snort juice out my fucking nose oh my god thank you tumblr user introvertathome you just made my entire day I'm so serious

The bar was low but here you are limbo dancing with the dev--- Hold on, I've been informed the party has moved. Yeah, Satan's not really feeling the vibes anymore; he's hanging out on TikTok and X now.

Tldw; there is majority support in the European Parliament for a bill that would cover most of SKG's issues, and if passed this would bypass the decision of the Commission. There are also ongoing lawsuits in France and other places that would likely lead to some legislation. There is also a bill being worked on in California that wouldn't stop current games from being killed, but would stop future games from being killed

It’s important to know that hijab is banned in schools in most of the european countries, such as france, belgium, switzerland etc. Millions of girls have to take their hijab off everyday in order to have access to education, and I am one of them. Please spread this as much as possible, it has become so normal here that I feel like a fool for even mentioning it, but I’m pretty sure it goes against the human rights. This senseless law has been on since 2004 and pretends that all the students have to be “equal” and it is prohibited to show that you belong to any religion, any religious sign must be set aside. However, most of us have to take our hijab off in schools where you can clearly see a christmas tree or a christian cross. “Yeah but it’s not the same”, they say. Tell me about double standards. I pray for days when we don’t have to chose between religion and education.

This, but don’t read the notes. It’s all just French people and/or Catholics going “I’m totally not racist or antisemitic, it’s just that I think that Xmas, a holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus, is secular, whereas a Muslim or Jew wearing a hijab or kippah is somehow forcing their religion on me by existing in public.” LOL
