person: push it off

Me: hindsight

Professor X: that’s not going to help us

fun fact: for decades children were beaten for speaking welsh in school, even in areas where english was barely spoken, because the government decided in 1847 that the language made people lazy and immoral

fun fact: welsh orthography is actually easy to read if you take your head out of your arse for one minute and learn our alphabet - just like french, or spanish, or korean, because surprise! languages use different spelling systems that are not based on english. novel, i know - and in the 18th century, travelling schools were able to teach people to read and write welsh in a matter of months, so that wales enjoyed a literate majority, a rare thing in europe at the time

Owner asks dogs to hide because customer is scared of dogs

[Three dogs are sleeping on a welcome mat of a shop of some kind. A cat is nestled in between them.]

Owner: Customers are coming. They’re scared of dogs. Hurry up. Customers are coming.

[Dogs slowly get up and walk off to the back in single file. Cat remains on the front step. Just before the last dog enters the back room, the owner calls out again.]

Owner: Teng (Dog’s name), go get Xiao Bao (Cat’s name) too. Go fetch Xiao Bao

[Dog turns back to the entrance and gently drags the clearly reluctant cat back inside. The owner speaks softly as the dog approaches the camera]

Owner (softly): All right, put (the cat) down.

[The owner gives what looks like dried jerky to the dog]

Owner: Let Xiao Bao eat some. Let Xiao Bao eat some.
