There's something really special about lil nas x being like "subtext? No. Old town road is literally about riding horses. If I was going to write a song about riding dick, like. Trust me. You'd know" and then he did
you know what's going on with lil nas x is persecution, right. it's not "just" internet trolling—he's only 21 and being targeted by SITTING SENATORS for his art. this is textbook persecution, complete with the coalescing of religion and political power, and the fact that he can fire off meme-y one liners doesn't change that! fucking hell! it horrifies me how this is being played off for laughs, even by leftists and "we are the daughters of witches you couldn't burn" crowd. it's terrifying and the actual, bodily threat to him is VERY REAL regardless of how funny his responses are.
I'm not Black so I didn't think it was appropriate of me to talk about his Blackness but dear GOD the disparity between lil nas x's vulnerability and openness about his sexuality in his art and public appearance, and the amount of backlash and discrimination he's suffered for it vs the amount of public recognition and institutional support he's gotten as compared to harry styles who put on a fucking skirt and got hailed as the King Of The Gays™ is so blatantly racist.
That’s really interesting.
Not as funny as astronauts dropping things when they forget about gravity, but it’s up there.

Doctor Who AU where the companions unionize and Donna and Martha start a YouTube channel
the complaints about the diversity in bridgerton astound me. “simon was described with piercing blue eyes” “i love black people, but segregation wasnt lifted in england at this time, they would all still be slaves” “wouldnt mind the diversity, but its not historically accurate.”
honey. you are saying these complaints as these character waltz to instrumental Bad Guy by billie eilish in dresses and suits that are colors that didnt even exist yet adorned with plastic sequins and glitter. historical accuracy was not their goal. just say youre racist and go.
WHOA
this is one of the reasons it’s so hard to translate on the fly 😭 monoglots just don’t understand and think you’re bad at the source language 😟
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS UP 😭😭😭
Hi! I would love Alex/Reggie for “You need a hug. I can tell.” This whole fic compilation has been amazing 😊
thank you!!! i’m having a lot of fun writing these!
-x-
Alex grunts in surprise when a pair of arms suddenly wrap around his waist and a body presses against his back. He looks down and sees the sleeves of Reggie's leather jacket and he laughs.
"Can I help you?"
"I'm hugging you," Reggie replies matter-of-factly.
old people really need to learn how to text accurately to the mood they’re trying to represent like my boss texted me wondering when my semester is over so she can start scheduling me more hours and i was like my finals are done the 15th! And she texts back “Yay for you….” how the fuck am i supposed to interpret that besides passive aggressive
Someone needs to do a linguistic study on people over 50 and how they use the ellipsis. It’s FASCINATING. I never know the mood they’re trying to convey.
I actually thought for a long time that texting just made my mother cranky. But then I watched my sister send her a funny text, and my mother was laughing her ass off. But her actual texted response?
“Ha… right.”
Like, she had actual goddamn tears in her eyes, and that was what she considered an appropriate reply to the joke.I just marvelled for a minute like ‘what the actual hell?’ and eventually asked my mom a few questions. I didn’t want to make her feel defensive or self-conscious or anything, it just kind of blew my mind, and I wanted to know what she was thinking.
Turns out that she’s using the ellipsis the same way I would use a dash, and also to create ‘more space between words’ because it ‘just looks better to her’. Also, that I tend to perceive an ellipsis as an innate ‘downswing’, sort of like the opposite of the upswing you get when you ask a question, but she doesn’t. And that she never uses exclamation marks, because all her teachers basically drilled it into her that exclamation marks were horrible things that made you sound stupid and/or aggressive.
So whereas I might sent a response that looked something like:
“Yay! That sounds great - where are we meeting?”
My mother, whilst meaning the exact same thing, would go:
‘Yay. That sounds great… where are we meeting?”
And when I look at both of those texts, mine reads like ‘happy/approval’ to my eye, whereas my mother’s looks flat. Positive phrasing delivered in a completely flat tone of voice is almost always sarcastic when spoken aloud, so written down, it looks sarcastic or passive-aggressive.
On the reverse, my mother thinks my texts look, in her words, ‘ditzy’ and ‘loud’. She actually expressed confusion, because she knows I write and she thinks that I write well when I’m constructing prose, and she, apparently, could never understand why I ‘wrote like an airhead who never learned proper English’ in all my texts. It led to an interesting discussion on conversational text. Texting and text-based chatting are, relatively, still pretty new, and my mother’s generation by and large didn’t grow up writing things down in real-time conversations. The closest equivalent would be passing notes in class, and that almost never went on for as long as a text conversation might. But letters had been largely supplanted by telephones at that point, so ‘conversational writing’ was not a thing she had to master.
So whereas people around my age or younger tend to text like we’re scripting our own dialogue and need to convey the right intonations, my mom writes her texts like she’s expecting her Eighth grade English teacher to come and mark them in red pen. She has learned that proper punctuation and mistakes are more acceptable, but when she considers putting effort into how she’s writing, it’s always the lines of making it more formal or technically correct, and not along the lines of ‘how would this sound if you said it out loud?’
the linguistics of written languages in quick conversational format will never not be interesting to me like it’s fascinating how we’ve all just silently learned what an ellipsis or exclamation mark implies and it’s totally different in different communities or generations or whatever

Adore the fact that it is hurling and curling that are the opposite ends of the human sport experience
Wait sports movie idea: a dual fish out of water story where someone accidentally logs a spelling mistake down so a hurler is sent to a curling team and a curler is sent to a hurling team
if you are looking for media that has lgbt characters that survive to the end consider watching my sex tape
great! i love horror movies!
if you are looking for media that has lgbt characters that survive to the end don’t read this textpost
i’m the opposite of ‘i liked it before it became popular’ i only discover new things to like once they’re not popular anymore
me: so i’m starting to get into this new thing
the new thing: a 10 years old videogame or st like that
