zweierlei handzeichen

ich bekreuzige mich vor jeder kirche ich bezwetschkige mich vor jedem obstgarten

wie ich ersteres tue weiß jeder katholik ich ich letzteres tue ich allein

Hochverehrtes, deutschsprachiges Tumblr:

Hier eine weitere Abstimmung. Nicht so hitzig, wie die ums Stoßlüften, aber trotzdem etwas, über das ich gerne Klarheit hätte:

(Again, all non-German-speakers: Please just wait for the results

Hey Deutsch-tumblr. Diese Jugendliche wird seit einiger Zwit vermisst. Sie stammt aus Götzenheim bei Dreieich, in Hessen. Fotos vo ihr kleben praktisch fast an allen Öffi-Stationen im Frankfurter Stadtgebiet, soweit ich es heute, Mittwoch den 17. April 2024 gesehen hab. Wäre cool wenn ihr das reblogged.

@aurelia-which-means-sunrise, hoff es is okay wenn ich dich tagge

KORREKTUR!: Sie stammt aus Götzenhain nicht -heim. Ich hatte den Post mit meinem smartphone verfasst...

Love how the university-specific word for "classmate" in German comes from the Latin word for "comrade in arms". Finally someone recognizes education for what it is. Yeah we're in the trenches covered in blood 👍

incredible translation of sheeesh thank you google

Hate the chokehold anglicisms have even on formal German speech rn. Homies you need to STOP adding in so much random English or ur gonna reinvent Dutch at this rate 😭

'Am Boden zerstört' is honestly such a good saying and I'm kinda sad that we don't use it much in german. 'Destroyed on the floor' to express how you're feeling? Like yes indeed I am fully destoyed lying on the floor because I can't keep going anymore. Sometimes it does feel like that

Ich liebe die Auswahl 😍

german house md, call that hausarzt

Es sagt einiges aus, dass man mit der Begründung "ich hab ne Wohnungsbesichtigung" so ziemlich aus allem rauskommt, wo sonst nur der Tod entschuldigt.

A win for trans rights!!!!!! 🏳️‍⚧️

The Selbstbestimmungsgesetz (self-identify law) allows trans and intersex people to change their name and gender in the civil registry much more easily than before by submitting a self-disclosure form. This will be possible starting on the 1. November 2024 while the self-disclosure forms can be submitted as early as 1. August 2024 because of the 3 month waiting period in the law. After a name and gender change the person will be barred from changing it again for one year. People of ages 14-17 will need the approval of a legal guardian to change their gender and name while for children under 14 the legal guardians can submit a form for the change.

Worst part of Papa Ante Portas the train ride scene. Look at those big fucking windows. The comfortable benches. The insane legroom. The fine china. Look at what they took from us.

Accidentally deleted my pinned post... I'm so stupid
