The best tea is green tea but also I steep it for far longer than is reasonable and use at least 3x the recommended amount of leaves. I won't be happy with my tea experience unless I can really taste the green.

I wanna taste the bitters. "But Natalie green tea isn't supposed to be bitter" fuck off you're just jealous

People who like their beverages to quote-unquote "taste good" say to steep the leaves for a correct amount of time but listen: I'm a monster. I like garbage. I want that water to turn all sorts of fascinating colors b/c I'm a growing girl and I need all the Nutrience

Be like soil, imbibe the bitter tannins, gain Nutrience

This is the Way

me when i see a cat: CAT! cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat

Fun fact: when I see cute animals, I forget English and automatically revert to my native Hungarian. I don’t know what bystanders make of me, reciting guttural gibberish to rabbits.

But the real question is, what are you SAYING to the rabbits? Is it ‘RABBIT! rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit bunny bunny bunny awww cute bunnyyyyy’?

Well, I usually say the Hungarian equivalent of ‘bun bun bun lil bun look at your tiny spoon-shaped ears awww bun brave little lawnmower bun’, but sometimes I say ‘hey rabbits, my sister’s gonna go to med school’ because I think everyone should know.

I live in Japan, and I always revert to English to talk to small animals, and I was cooing at this tiny little fluff machine of a puppy in baby english like “hello you’re so cute such a cute hello hello yess you’re good” and the 70 year old Japanese lady that was walking him started to *translate the baby talk english into Japanese* for her pup. She wanted to be sure he understood it too.

ACCURATE.

I was at a pet store with Eileen. A woman walked up to us and asked if she could pet her. Eileen’s collar has ‘Deaf Dog’ embroidered on it. The lady asked about it, I confirmed, yes, she’s deaf. The lady immediately switched to American Sign Language and asked her how was her day, was she being a good girl, she’s so pretty. Eileen is wagging her tail excitedly, knowing that someone is talking to her.

Seconding calibre as a brilliant tool for ebook management in general. 

just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees

They existed *before beetles*

Why is this sad? Why am I sad?

time is too big

#honestly even though this is one of the best scripts there ever has been  #that is the greatest line  #it’s /groundbreaking/ in terms of how it frames vengeance quests; temptation beats; inigo as a comedic figure throughout the movie  #you know because this is a happy book (film) that inigo will get his revenge  #but will he get JUSTICE  #will he get ABSOLUTION  #will he get CATHARSIS  #those are the things we don’t know  #and that line sells it more than any of the previous scene (x)

well now I’m crying

I’M NOT CRYING YOU’RE CRYING

Best movie ever!

@thiscatiscalled

… can i use that phrase irl?

Absolutely you can and I encourage more uses of similar phrases that just completely fuck up the chronology of the english langauge. I wanna hear 15th century english mixed with surfer speak mixed with current age internet lingo like all the time.

Like this? Well my dude, seems like a weasel hath not such a deal of splean as you’re toss’d with. Chill already, you’re not valid.

You are an unrighteous, bastardly gullion. Heaven truly knows that thou art false as hell. When you die, I will face God and walk backwards into hell just so that I can beat your ass in the afterlife too.

I love the idea of a vampire who’s language travels back in time as they get pissed.

I grieve for thee in these trying times. Alexa play Despacito

Reading these is like literary whiplash

Historical linguists decide to get especially ancient vampires pissed off in order to study ancient languages

are you telling me that if I get a 5000yo vampire angry enough I can directly test the glottalic theory?

*Pisses off a vampire so much that they teach me Minoan*

@deadcatwithaflamethrower because a. languages! and b. this made me think of Nizar whose vocal patterns shift all the time depending on his mood/the conversation/how pissed off he is with someone/something!

Also reblogging for the update of *Pisses off a vampire so much that they teach me Minoan*

“Once you’ve got your teeth out of my neck, could you demonstrate what Linear B sounds like…?”

reblog if the girl on the right is just as beautiful as the girl on the left

omg!!!!! 💛

Your political beliefs absolutely do reflect who you are as a person. End of.

Guys please check out these sheep I want to be able to tell him a ton of people saw his fresh sheep

A Tiki bar but instead of appropriating Oceanic cultures and religions, it’s all Garbled Catholic Iconography.

Me *points to cherub*: can you make that but hollow so I can fill it with Mai Tais?

The walls are covered in Lorem Ipsum but if anyone asks, all the staff say it’s a sacred, mystical text.

Bar snacks are all shaped like communion wafers, but, like, salted

You stick your tongue out and a waiter in short shorts and a Roman collar gently places one onion ring on your tongue.

Mini crucifixes instead of drink umbrellas

fun fact: there’s literally a bar with this exact theme in vancouver called hail mary’s! it’s catholic themed and there’s a confession booth and the bathroom is styled like hell
