forget your zodiac tell me what you order at a bar and at a coffee shop

The editing of this video is hysterical and genius- they switch between so many editing styles to reflect exactly what kind of thing they're going for in each segment its GREAT.

the most disorienting thing thats ever happened to me was when a linguistics major stopped in the middle of our conversation, looked me in the eye, and said, "you have a very interesting vernacular. were you on tumblr in 2014?" and i had to just stand there and process that one for a good ten seconds

#i was in a car with a linguist i had never met before the car trip and like half an hour in he looked at me#after i finished describing a geology thing that was happening out the window and asked if i'd ever spent much time on tumblr#the fuckor of it all#and then we spent six more hours driving#it sure does leave linguistic markers! i'm not sure i'm good with it (tags via @thoughtsformtheuniverse)

it is one thing to be a linguist and another to be a linguist who knows enough of 2010s Tumblr to spot one of its enjoyers

I am being perceived.

Today a very friendly Golden Retriever came up to me and I said "hey buddy :D" and the owner asked "do you know each other?" like his dog had a social life he didn't know about

An idea that exists in the sphere of public consciousness in Finland is that Finnish people have a "unique relationship with nature," which I guess is supposed to signal the fact that We Got Trees Here and Some People Think That's Nice. Anyway, my partner's workplace recently started ordering Maaseudun Tulevaisuus (Future of the Countryside or something), a magazine that basically acts as the mouthpiece for the agriculture and forestry industries. All of the stories she has told me about having been featured in that magazine sound like they basically amount to "I fucking hate nature why is it getting in the way of my industry."

Also, 90% of the trees are some variety of tree farm to feed the paper industry, with just a single type of tree growing on a dried swamp, and they will all be cut down at the same time because that's cheapest.

I see a child run out in front of this car and I throw a black lace shawl over their shoulders, saving their life
