i must not stir the pot. stirring the pot is the notifications-killer. participation in the discourse is the little-death that brings total activity obliteration. i will face the bad opinions on the internet. i will permit them to pass over me and through me. and when they have gone past, i will turn the block button onto their source. where the discourse has come from there will be nothing. only i will remain.

@bonemaggots i may regret this but yes

idk why linguistics specifically has so many people assuming they can just understand everything about the field based on vibes like i hate to tell you all this but linguistics is a scientific discipline & there' more to it than fun little listicles

the average tumblr pop linguistics enthusiast would not last a day in intro to phonetics

i did not make myself cry multiple times over phonetics lab reports for every random tumblr user to decide they're a linguist bc they know a handful of latin prefixes

alright guys im curious. who were the worst mutuals youve ever had

Thank god they brought back An Amount Of Daylight That Makes You Want To Live. It was getting a bit scary for a minute there.

"people in real life: hey man how's it going" is a killer phrase. instantly neutralizes whatever insane discourse you find online. gonna start using that from now on

seriously that post claiming "chat" as it's used in the construction "chat is this real" is a pronoun has been bothering me forever bc like it's just literally not that's not what a pronoun is? if you think about it for more than .2 seconds you'll notice that the syntactic slot it fills is the same as phrases like "you guys" or "ladies and gentlemen," ie collective nouns... what do you people think pronouns are...

"chat is a pronoun" has officially joined my list of internet linguistics pet peeves. "emojis are hieroglyphs" is welcoming them to the club.

Oh I'm gonna say something controversial and "problematic" real quick. White queers think being gay and/or trans is the ultimate form of oppression. And just like any other white person they must make themselves out to be the ultimate victim. "They would kill me in Palastine." "They would hatecrime me immediately in the middle east." "I could get beheaded by those people, that's why I don't support them." Are all things I've heard from white gays, mind you these people are living in AMERICA.

The same country who made it their mission to slander and eradicate the LGBTQ community, just a few months ago they were literally calling us groomers and p*dophiles and people were falling for that propaganda just like how yall are currently falling for the propaganda that all Palestinians are "terrorists" and are "bloodthirsty". And just how y'all are falling for that bullshit pinkwashing by israel.

phil from modern family has to be the most overrated sitcom character of all time

Never understood the collective vehement resentment of small talk lol i hate the painful grind of small talk as much as the next person but i think id rather shrivel up and die than be denied nuggets of joy found in standing in an elevator and having a middle aged woman compliment my nails or bonding fleetingly with a cafegoer over the city's temperamental weather it's so integral to nurturing & cultivating the soul i think

Thanks for the question, Anon! I had to combine the “10” with the “more than 10” because I ran out of space! Hope it works.

For me I have a lot of health issues and can’t work because of it, and family issues as well, but if it was a perfect world, I would choose two kids. That way they have each other.
