Miami 2017

But one little girl was like “oh, it’s a musical about ME you say” and the character list was all the other girls in the class cast as her body parts, and a story about how her body works.

“Kaylee is nice so she will be the heart. Lily is my kidneys. Sapphire is the lungs.”

Casita - small tiny house VS Casona - big impressive house

Perrito - small cute dog VS Perrazo - big ass dog

There's also "-ote", which would be technically the pair for "-ito", but I used "-ón" because it's more frequent and you may find it in things like Bilbo Bolsón. Yes, Baggins.

Also you can add suffixes to make it even smaller or cuter:

Chica - Chiquita (think of the Abba song, you're welcome) - Chiquitita

Or to make it bigger and cuter (rarer, used mainly in child-speak when talking to children):

which is a natural assumption, but in my experience that's not really the case? like in my experience the drama llamas in fandom are usually not the ones who are just genuinely very deeply into the fiction. i've known people who are basically thinking about star trek or x-men comics or supernatural pretty much 100% of their free time and ime that type of person is usually very nice and surprisingly functional in their regular life. when someone's a constant nexus of fandom drama it's usually not that they are obsessed with the actual work of fiction the fandom is about, it's at least one of the following:

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but their unhealthy parasocial relationships with one or more of the people who created it

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but some elaborate shared-universe subset of fanfic about it that's only barely related to the original at this point, and/or an esoteric reading-against-the-text reinterpretation of the source material (often if the canon is active and ongoing this leads to becoming actively hostile toward it for its inevitably increasing failure to conform to their preferred fanon)

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but the fandom itself and gathering clout within it, so that the source material basically only exists to them as a tool for scoring points in increasingly arcane fandom disputes

Such as:

He's fat! he's got piles!/ he's in the Epstein files!/ Trump's a cunt (x3)

And

Nicobar Pigeon (Caloenas nicobarica), family Columbidae, order Columbiformes, found on islands and in coastal regions of South and SE Asia and the Australasian Archipelago

Hunting for some coochie

Wrote a G up on his belt

tumblr is full of dimwitted reactionaries but ive also read a lot of things that have fundamentally changed how i think about justice, mental health, etc.

despite the best efforts of the site's staff and its manbaby ceo, there continues to be a contingent of people here who are committed to understanding things better, to doing better, and to changing the world for the better.

stop worrying about whether black people know you're a safe white person to be around & start making sure white people know you are not a safe person to be racist around.

image two: tweet.

If there are Nazis at your event and you don't condone it, ask "what have I done to attract Nazis?" And follow that up with "how do I immediately and without question alienate and offend all the Nazis currently comfortable with me" and then do it. Stop being strategically naive.

what men hear: “I have no idea whatsoever, but here’s a totally random guess”

what you say: “I’m not an expert on this subject”

what men hear: “I don’t know anything about this subject and need its bare fundamentals explained to me”

what you say: “I could be better read in this area”

But there are men in my life who I respect, who I think are generally good communicators, but who have admitted to me that if they do not know the answer to something they will just state their best guess in a confident tone of voice, with no hedging or clarification to warn the listener that what they just said was pulled from their ass.

I once asked my high school boyfriend what noise a platypus makes and he confidently told me "oh they quack" and I said "really? that seems like they'd have different noise-making structures than ducks since they're not birds" and he said "oh yeah you're probably right. I was just guessing." And had no idea why I was mad! I was like, so if I ask you a question you might just bullshit me?? What if I had believed you and gone and repeated that to other people? I could have looked like an idiot. I could have spread misinformation to a ton of people! But I have told that story to other men and had them say "oh yeah I totally do that."
