(Re: finding out your mom previously aborted before you) That actually did happen to me too. My mom became pro-life later in life, but several years back while I was in the car with her, somehow the topic of abortion came up and she told me she got one when she was younger and dating someone before meeting my dad. The moment she told me, I actually almost fainted in the car from going into shock. I have an older half-brother or half-sister that I will never know. (1)

“We need better public transit and more passenger railways” — fuck yeah I’m all about this~

I once chatted with a guy from Hawaii, we started talking about languages. I mentioned that while I've heard very little of it and hardly seen more of it written down, the Hawaiian language seems to have extremely similar balance of vocals and consonants as Finnish does, so it's actually pretty likely that there are some words that exist in both languages, but mean one thing in Hawaiian and a completely differen thing in Finnish - much like in Japanese.

Okay so in finnish, "kala" means "fish" - just any fish, fish in general, and "kana" means "chicken". "Ele" is "gesture", as in a physical movement that an animal or human does to nonverbally communicate something. The -ni suffix is a possessive referring to oneself, essentially "my". In finnish, compound words are of the "if it doesn't exist yet, I can make one up on the spot" variety, so almost all nouns can be slapped together to refer to something specific.

In Japanese, kalani kanaele is the imperative of “to concede (something) to Cathay”, because Kara is an archaic term for China—cf. karate, which originally meant “Chinese hand” and was only reinterpreted as “empty hand” when Imperial Japan annexed Okinawa. And kanaeru means “to grant (a request or desire), to fulfill (an agreement)”.

I swear to God if I see one more person just straight out mocking Homeric text for naming the sea "wine-dark" instead of "blue" or why he says that the dark haired sheep are "violet" or honey "greenish" I am gonna flip

*movie with women main characters comes out*

Women: This isn’t good female representation, this is pandering. The heroine is a typical high school mean girl and thinks being a girlboss is peak feminism. The writers clearly wanted to write a strong woman before writing a good character or a story. If this is how all women are supposed to be, I’m offended.

Yes. I want to see characters that represent real women, in all of our rich variety, showing both our virtues and our failings.

Men tend to like female main characters, OP. Just as long as they’re good characters
