“So your wings,” Sam asked, “does that make you, like, a cupid? Like, shoot me with an arrow, make me fall in love, that kind of a deal?”

Bucky stared blankly at him where they sat at the kitchen island. It was hard to take them seriously as a threat when they were wearing a shirt decorated only with badly cropped pictures of kittens. So many of them were so ugly. In a hideously adorable sort of way.

“Why’s everyone ask that?” Bucky sighed, after a moment, “I have all the dating reputation of a corpse. The last person I dated died in 1958, because I haven’t dated in this century.”

Sam's got friends. He's got a lot of friends. The problem is, none of them are like Bucky, and none of them are living with him.

t’as de la chance que j’ai décidé de vérifier mon compte aujourd’hui!

HELL YEAH tu sais que j’ai une tonne de recommandations. 

Lisa est ma préférée mais tu aimerais probablement beaucoup les Hay Babies!!! J’adore tout ce qu’ils font. Funky, folky, fun

Les soeurs Boulay! Meilleurs harmonies, me font souvenir à The Staves que j’aiment aussi beaucoup

Une découverte récente pour moi: Catherine Dagenais. Ste chanson là me tue

P’tit Belliveau - un ami que j’aime beaucoup et qui fait du COOL STUFF avec du bluegrass

Caroline Savoie - comme, la colbie caillat de l’acadie? un peu bubblegum avec de l’honnêteté que j’admire

Roxane Bruneau - plus … polished que Lisa mais ça travaille bien

J’peux pas m’arrêter de recommander Cy…

Menoncle Jason! Super weird mais vraiment le fun

Les jeunes d’asteures sont comme, super hip dernièrement

Plus sur le côté folk trad (et tous deux de l’île-du-Prince-Édouard): 10 Strings and a Goatskin et Vishtèn

Simon Daniel est similaire un peu de Lisa dans le sens qu’ils écrivent tous deux en acadien mais leur langue est un peu élevée? acadien sophistiqué mais qui garde quand même l’essence de la langue traditionnelle. pis j’trouve sa voix unique

ahahaha i definitely don’t speak a million--i speak english, spanish, and hebrew, and i’m trying to pick my next one but i’m not sure what to learn next. :) i learned spanish in school but the American educational system is Awful(tm), so i kept learning it on my own, through a lot of “learn-while-you-drive”, watching dubbed movies, tv shows, etc. i learned hebrew via immersion basically--my husband’s family all speak hebrew and that’s their default when they’re all together regardless of the language of whoever else is there (THANKS GUYS) so it was basically “learn or be totally lost.”

tbh the biggest problem i have with languages is that the one i need tends to abandon me when i need it? like, if i’m in a bodega, i could do some great talmud study but like fuck can i ask the dominican guy where the yogurt is, and if i’m hanging out with my in-laws, i could be an a+ translator in a washington heights hospital but all of a sudden i can’t remember the hebrew word for “spoon.” it’s a huge pain in the ass. 

like, literally, why even are languages a thing?

aw ben merci :) identité culturelle: what is dat? man ça m’a pris des années pi des années (où j’étais intensivement intégrée dans le mouvement francophone minoritaire au canada) pour figurer out sort of mon identité culturelle so comme, stresse toi point trop la brain. ça va venir
