Not Studying

man sometimes friendship really is just "I saw this and knew it would give you psychic damage. please respond with agony" and then they do. and it's great

I know why you drew him. Because he is beautiful.

I know it feels good as fuck to cast spells from up there

"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

the fact that people prefer to read and write in english rather than their native language should actually be seen as a crisis im not joking this is not a good thing

Fakt, że ludzie wolą czytać i pisać po angielsku, zamiast w swoim języku ojczystym powinien być postrzegany jako kryzys, nie żartuję, to nie jest dobra sprawa

die feit dat mense dit verkies om in engels te lees en skryf, eerder as hul moedertaal, behoort eintlik as 'n krisis beskou te word, ek maak nie 'n grap nie hierdie is nie 'n goeie ding nie

dylai'r ffaith bod well gan bobl ddarllen ac ysgrifennu yn saesneg yn hytrach na'u mamiaith gael ei weld fel argyfwng dwi ddim yn jocian dydy hyn ddim yn beth da

se tosiasia että ihmiset lukee ja kirjottaa mieluummin englanniks kuin omalla äidinkielellään pitäis oikeesti nähdä kriisinä mä en vitsaile tää ei oo hyvä asia

ang katotohanan na mas gusto ng mga tao na magbasa at magsulat sa Ingles kaysa sa kanilang sariling wika ay dapat talagang ituring na isang krisis hindi ako nagbibiro hindi ito magandang bagay

Faktumet att folk föredrar att läsa och skriva på engelska än deras modersmål borde faktiskt ses som en kris jag skämtar inte det här är inte en bra sak

At der er folk der hellere vil læse og skrive på engelsk end deres modersmål bør faktisk ses som en krise, og det er ikke noget jeg siger for sjov, det her er ikke en god ting

الواقع انّ الناس يرغبون القراءة و الكتابة باللغة الانجليزية وليس بلغتهم الام يجب ان ينظر اليه كأزمة لا امزح هذا ليس أمر جيّد

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

Grim Reaper holding a scythe must have been a much more potent symbol when scythes were in common, everyday use, when people had actually used them on crops, sharpened them, felt the grains falling by the thousands in a single swift sweep. The scythe still exists as a symbol, sure, but it's one that has little visceral meaning to the people that look at it.

#everyone's in the notes going 'modern grim reaper should drive a combine harvester!!!' but they are missing the point I think#a combine harvester is not a common everyday tool for anyone but a farmer#and farmers are a much smaller percentage of the population than they were back then#and a combine harvester is not a thing you hold in your hands#it's about the warm wood against the skin of your palm#it's about your arms flexing out in the sweeping arc of the harvest – the muscles working; the sun on your back#the soft shushing sound of the grain falling before the blade#the perfect sharpness of the steel – a sharpness you have yourself honed with your own whetstone#the smell of cut greenery rising up around you as you work#the way you can see each individual stalk fall but each one is irrelevant in the cluster of its fellows#..............actually the increased emotional distance of the combine harvester vs the scythe is a funny parallel to the increased distanc#which the average modern person has from agriculture and the source of their food#death bears a scythe because farming is THE foundation of society#it is what most of society spends its time doing#and all of society is deeply aware of how the harvest is going because even if they live in distant cities#when the harvest goes bad the cities starve#only the very wealthy can insulate themselves from such things and even they would be wiser not to#all of this changed a lot and very quickly in the last few centuries (tags via @aethersea)

wishing all outdoor workers, delivery drivers, people who have to walk to work, bus riders, etc a very Don't die in this heat

masculine energy this feminine energy that. well i’m out of energy

need me some of this "renewable energy" I keep hearing about

it should go without saying, but a hooligan is a marsupial, a miscreant is a mustelid, and a ne'er-do-well is an herb in the mint family

I hope July and the second half of this year are gentler on your spirit, kinder to you, good for your growth, and even better than the first half.
