children and teenagers are completely correct in how they feel about school and family btw, they just might not have the words for it that will get them taken seriously. let's be real though they wouldn't be taken seriously even if they worded it perfectly. youthlib now

I will never forget the time a classmate offhandedly said to me that his dad told him kids couldn't feel stress when he admitted to being stressed out.

[guy whose bedtime is approaching fast] I need to write one billion words right now. and draw everything that has ever existed.

Sick little freaks who have more in common with bridge trolls than a normal human being should like shot me a DM

Botswana Metal aesthetic is something I never knew I needed until it was shown to me.

Ok but someone knows what does this say?

Worth noting that “lion” and especially the word Ingonyama is a very respectful word to talk about a Zulu king, especially in praise. It’s so heavily associated with royalty in isiZulu that a different word is used for an animal lion - Ibhubesi. This isn’t just announcing the arrival of an animal, it’s celebrating the arrival (or coronation?) of the king

/\ Whoop, I didn’t know this

This is so informative thank you so much

Lemme tell you, I was not dividing those syllables into words in the right places AT ALL

I would also like to state that the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” is an extremely washed out version of the original song “Mbube” by Solomon Linda, a South African musician. It was appropriated by the west and he never received credit or money for what became an extremely famous song. His family eventually received a small sum from Disney for the song but again, not much considering the history of the song. There is a documentary about it right now on netflix. 

This is one of my most favourite posts I’ve made but I hate all of the typos on my part….but I’m grateful it landed with people

Learned something new 👍👍👍 today

And The Lion King is the only Disney film officially dubbed in Zulu! https://disneyinternationaldubbings.weebly.com/the-lion-king–zulu-cast.html

"you were always such a good kid! we never had to worry about you :)" thanks! you actually should've, though. like about this specifically

Do theologians in Omegaverse worlds argue about what Jesus meant when he said "I'm the Alpha and the Omega"?

Does anyone know the history as to how that ended up in the bible? Idk, it seems weird that a judean guy who, by historical consensus, spoke aramaic, and possibly hebrew as well, would be using greek letters in a speech. Is this passage thought to be thrown in by the council of nicea on their own? Is this a bad translation and he said the first and last letters of aramaic which was made into greek letters for western audiences? Why is this in there at all? Has the history of this passage been traced as to how it ended up in the canonized version of the bible? I find this very strange that he’d be using greek letters and I gotta know how this came up

Also, that speech is from Revelations- so the Jesus saying that is in a vision seen by a guy imprisoned on a Greek island. (John of Patmos, historically identified with John the beloved disciple, and IIRC imprisoned by Domitian towards the end of the 1st century). So it’s… not really attributable to a historical Jesus.

Historical Jesus spoke Aramaic but Dehydration Hallucination Jesus can speak whatever he wants
