The effect of practicing my English mainly on the internet is that I can make some pompous arguments about international geopoliticis and forget the fucking word for ālight switchā.
I have the same problem with Finnish but a billion times worse

Having a "stupider people have done this" attitude about the things you want to do can open so many doors

An awkward thing is that OrbƔn is a fairly common last name in Hungary. Our new foreign minister and deputy prime minister is going to be another OrbƔn. Her campaign video includes her introducing herself to Donald Tusk, awkwardly saying "Anita OrbƔn, no relation. The name is just an accident." To which Donald Tusk says, in a sad, very tired voice: "My name is Donald."
Bet he'd never thought he would one day wish for the first association of his name to be the cartoon duck.

A STUDY OF DOLLS, 1897, Stanley G. Hall & A. Caswell Lewis
there's a myth that Victorian toy stores sold "kits" for staging doll funerals- perpetuated by no less than Caitlin Doughty, who is usually good at fact-checking, but that was in the early days of her blog -and I feel like this study is good for dispelling the idea
because why would it be studied if it was such a huge cultural phenomenon that the kits were sold in stores?
The suburbs dream of violence. Asleep in their drowsy villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a more passionate world.

I'm fascinated by how the formatting of different social media sites affect how text is read.
For instance, a line break on Tumblr indicates a new idea.
But a reblog break indicates that time has passed.

reblog if you're corny and insufferable
now I'm wondering if I'm corny.
So the fun part about GenZ slang being almost 100% AAVE is that I have a dictionary from 2001, from before I was old enough to even know how to use a dictionary, right? And this ain't that abridged shit this is the three columns 8 point font, pages made of tissue paper bound into a book that is 4-5 inches thick shit. You follow?
And there are all these reports on how new slang is and how to understand it and getting it wrong. BUT 2001 GOT ME

*looks into the camera like she's on the Office* Don't be an Egyptologist kids. The value people place on your years of translating a dead language and knowing a lot of cultural/historical background to ancient texts is basically so low that you will frequently have people who cannot read Hieroglyphs or know any more than the basics of Egyptian history suggest improvements to your translation of an ancient text.
*gathers all of the people in the world who write the number 7 with a little dash in the center of it so I can study them like little critters and find out what makes them do that*
Thereās actually a lot of history regarding the development writing systems and why there are different visual representations of numerals, but the short answer is: itās regional, and you probably picked up how to make your numbers look based on your parents or your primary school teachers
I do it out of spite because in grade school a kids detective story identified the culprit by saying NO American wrote their sevens with a line and I thought that was super flimsy evidence and it made me so mad I started putting a line through my sevens so the fictional detective would be wrong and then kept doing it for several decades since.
I do feel one canāt underestimate the āelementary school child taught themselves how to do this Out Of Spiteā crowd
every western movie ever made: The wild west is dying. theres no more room left for cowboys anymoreā¦
me everytime: :(
every samurai movie ever made (both edo and bakamatsu periods): The bushido code is dying. there no more room left for samurai anymoreā¦
me everytime: :(
A lot of westerns are remakes of samurai movies
those samurai movies were very often heavily inspired by 50ā²s and 40ā²s westerns
Cowboys and samurai are brothers separated by time and space.
Best duo.
Iāve got yāalls new favorite art piece right here.
According to Google, Samurai were abolished in 1868.
This means that at the same time that cowboys were reaching their end, so too were samurai.
Cowboys and Samurai were separated not by time, only space.
Iāve got something else to add to this: thereās also an extremely specific species of mushroom that can only be found in Texas and Japan. Iām serious.

The most ambitious crossover
Fantasy setting but itās just Texas and Japan together at last

This is how the system of white supremacy Ā operates. The media is used 2 create stereotypes like blk on blk crime.They need black men to fill jail cells for the Prison Indstrial complex
You know what? Iām tired of this. I do not know what exactly they are waiting for. I mean our government comes up with āreasonsā to invade other countries, such as Syria, like their government is allegedly violating human rights or something like that. butā¦ I mean for other countries, they do not even have to go deep to bomb the fuck out of this place, they can just look at our media. And this has been happening to people of color since the media has existed.
Iāll never forget this šš¾
Did a research project on this in undergrad and the results are extremely alarming because itās not just in imagery, itās in language used even in the law making process and within our own communities in a completely different way than expected.
