IT GOT BETTER

The RomCom Aunties!

Happy Pride to the Romantic Aunties and their Combat auntie wives

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

Time Princess is like "what if only a niche community knows about stories that make you insane about them forever" and then the like 10 active fans on here just reblog each other on here xD

the noticeable pause after "royale" ...moment of silence rip :(

It's really quite bizarre how much work in trans healthcare bases itself on the idea that a patient who deliberately seeks out the Penis Removal Doctor and says "Yes, Penis Removal Doctor, I am certain that I would like to have my penis removed" might be lying to the Penis Removal Doctor, so that they can have their penis removed without actually wanting that.

no that's a jpeg

ceci n'est pas OP

"queer-owned business" means nothing anymore. OpenAI and Palantir are both queer-owned businesses.

if this is how you find out that both sam altman and peter thiel are gay im sorry

this is in yiddish too!! shm-reduplication, so phrases like "fancy-shmantzy" (implying mockery). and not only in hindi ("chai-shai" for tea and snacks) but it also filtered into english used by hindi speakers—e.g. my mother-in-law would always say "party-sharty" to mean a party and then the afterparty/hangout following. it's so beautiful :')

@lingthusiasm i don't think we've had an episode on this? ::wiggles eyebrows::

English also had a nicknaming form in the late 18th-early 19th century like this. it involved switching the first letter of a consonant-led name with a P and hyphenating it; the most common example is Peggy and Polly as nicknames from Margaret (Margaret > Meg > Meggy > Meggy-Peggy > Peggy and Margaret > Moll > Molly > Molly-Polly > Polly), but I've also seen "Sal-Pal" and "Sally-Pally" in c. 1810 letters from one specific family here in Boston

Mongolian does it too! Which is not a shock as such since it's related to Turkish... "Go to the shop and get lemonade, memonade..."
