Taking up Japanese as a side project for myself has reminded me of something.
So like a long time ago I had a professor that I absolutely adored. She happened to be Japanese American. She grew up speaking Japanese at home but never really spent a lot of time in Japan. She mostly spoke with other Japanese Americans and read books.
So one day early in her teaching career thereβs an exchange student from Japan whoβs having a hard time understanding a concept so she explained it to him in Japanese and then he looked absolutely rattled. Like in shock. Pale.
This is how she learned that the way she speaks Japanese makes her sound like a gang member.
Japanese doesnβt exactly have cuss words in the same way as English does but imagine that the nicest professor youβve ever had pulls your paper over and says βOkay listen here you little piece of shit Iβm gonna fucking explain this to you. Violently.β
This (studying in Chile for a year) is more or less how I realized my two PhD-having, tenured professor expat parents raised me to speak the most disrespectful and swearword-riddled version of Spanish possible (with plenty of ancient slang I didn't know was slang thrown in). It was like:
I talk about them all the time. the trick is to find someone youβre comfortable with or someone whoβs also not normal about the character.
or you can just be unapologetically crazy.

WTF are those obelisks on the right?β¦
Tasty obelisk fries..
βItβs digestibleβ has got to be the laziest goal Iβve ever seen achieved by a food product.
βItβs digestibleβ
βItβs digestibleβ is pertinent!! Okay, for those of you who havenβt researched Crisco for writing fic about gay sex in the mid-late 60s:
The first-edition ofΒ The Joy of Gay Sex, published in 1977, declared, βVegetable shortening may be the best lubricant, since it is not only greasy but also digestibleβ[4]Β Such a statement perhaps gives new meaning to the companies boastful declarations that βIts digestibleβ and βCrisco has been making life in the kitchen more delicious for years.βΒ Similarly, in the 1978 sex manualΒ The Advocate Guide to Gay Health, Crisco even earned an entry in the bookβs index.Β Discussions of the shorteningβs use as an anal lubricant indicate its popularity, with statements such as: βThe lubricant, typically the cultic Crisco, must be copious.β[5]Β In fact, Crisco was so synonomus with gay sex that discos and bars around the world took on the name, such as Crisco Disco in New York City, which was one of the premiere clubs during the 1970s and early 1980s.Β Other clubs or bathhouses, such as Club Z in Seattle, even featured murals with Crisco.Β Thus, Crisco was conversely also one of many things that led to the formation of gay identities during the 20thΒ century.

The more you know! :D
I have learned a new thing today.
Love this post for so many reasons but most especially because this is from all the way back in 2012 and and yet not a single blog in this thread is deactivated
I enjoy that not only does this have a link to an actual source, but the link still fucking works.
but @rhea314 you didnt include a picture of the crisco disco! AND MY GOD THE DJ BOOTH WAS A GIANT CRISCO CAN!
Go dance and get fisted. Fucking iconic.
Love the gay history, but i just wanna correct that the βitβs digestibleβ in the gay stuff was a reference to criscoβs tagline it had been using since 1911, the actual meaning of its digestible is because itβs main competition came from βenhancedβ lards which were rendered pig fat mixed with non food thickeners that literally did not digest and caused people to basically just shit out pig cream, since crisco was veggie based the body digested it along with the food
And in case you were still wondering, @mudwerks.. Tuna Croquettes
This post is the opposite of net zero information. Not only did I learn several new facts about gay history but also we rounded our way back to the original question of the tag line and the mini obelisks.
Itβs a net profit of information. 12/10 post
the reality of being a writer
heres how to fix it
so many misguided metaphors around violence and desire. if the open maw of a panting beast fills you with the want to be devoured, that does not make you prey. while the rabbit trembles in fear, its deepest desire is to run. evolution demands it. in fact, the desire to be eaten does not make you any small animal at all.
it makes you a fruit.
I did this thing on todayβs walk through the city where I try to name everything I notice in as many languages as I can remember. It went well for a while, until my brain latched itself on the minor detailsβ¦
so, my question to the linguistically gifted people of tumblr; what do you call the circled gap between the bricks of the facade? In english or any other language
if thereβs a word thatβs specifically used for old buildings (such as in the picture) please let me know! I donβt even know what to call it in my native language haha

i finally found it
in the name of the Lord
Took me years to understand that boredom is not the enemy of writing. It is the raw material. Every good idea i have ever had arrived during a walk with no podcast, a train with no phone, a shower where i just stood there. The moment i fill every silence with content i stop generating anything of my own. I am just processing other people's thoughts instead of having mine. The empty space is where the work comes from. Protecting the empty space is the actual job.
coincidence? i think not
the part of adulthood that no one ever warns you about is the amount of surfaces you need to acquire to put your things and trinkets on

people who don't experience hyperfixation don't know what it feels like to hyperfixate so much on something that it becomes not only your subject of obsession but also your source of happiness and literally the main reason why you still keep going; literal source of strength and life.
