What’s it called when you’re so fucking exhausted that your eyes are burning and all you have to do is wash your face and tuck into bed but you
Can’t
Get
Up.
Hi, yes, my attempts at trying to sleep at a reasonable hour are failing miserably. How are you today?

not to be sappy on main BUT one thing that i really loved when studying linguistics was that the more important a word is, the earlier the concept of this thing was given a word. for example, the word water is similar in many similar languages (aqua, agua, água). so, the more important a word is, the more languages it’ll be similar across and the older this word will be, theoretically and generally speaking (many other things also affect this)
AND SO in my years studying linguistics, there was one word that was nearly identical across so many regionally different languages (though there are outliers of course), from europe to most of asia to subsaharan africa to indigenous languages. across nearly all languages this is the first word people learn how to say and maybe the first word humans in general officially named and defined:
mamãe - portuguese
妈妈 (māmā) - chinese
ਮੰਮੀ (mamī) - punjabi
mamah - mayan (yucatec)
мама - bulgarian, russian, ukrainian
ماں (mäm) - urdu
মা (mā) - bengali
mẹ (may) - vietnamese
ママ (mama) - japanese
అమ్మ (am'ma) - telugu
mama - quechua
મમ્મી (mam'mī) - gujarati
അമ്മ (am'ma) - malayalam
amá - navajo
엄마 (omma) - korean
eme - native hawaiian
onam - uzbek
aana - yupik
mema - tagish
μαμά (mamá) - greek
mama - swahili
أمي (umi) - arabic
mayi - chichewa
माँ (ma) - hindi
mam - dutch
ម៉ាក់ (ma) - khmer
แม่ (mæ̀) - thai
அம்மா (am'mā) - tamil
අම්මා (ammā) - sinhala
amai - zulu
ama - basque
आमा (āmā) - nepali
အမေ (amay) - myanmar (burmese)
mamá - spanish
mom/mum- english
this isn’t actually the first word because we teach babies this word (most likely), but because the “mama” or “ama” sounds are the easiest things for babies to say, and it’s nearly always the only thing they can say at first, and adults across all languages defined their language around that.
babies all over the world for thousands and thousands of years all started out blabbering sounds like “mama” and mothers everywhere were all like Oh Shit That’s Me! I’m Mama!

I really enjoy just existing in hotels. The long identical hallways. The soulless abstract art. The weird noises the air-conditioner makes. Strange city lights in the window. Six stories off the ground. Strangers chatting in the hall. Nothing in the dresser. No past, but an infinite present.
#ughhhh#i miss travelling so fucking much#i lived in a hotel in adelaide for 3 months once#for work#the room was weeeeny#like yhere was the bed the bathroom and tiny strip of floor infront of them#bjt it had this window#one wall was floor to ceiling WINDOW#and i was on like the 11th or 13th floor#and listen adelaide#is wonderfully lacking on skyscrapers#theres like 2#so i could see the city beneath#all the way until the mountains#anf gosh if i didnt love falling asleep to that incredible view#one time it was raining in the hills#and then there was this wiiind#and i WATCHED THE RAIN COME DOWN into the city#and watched all the tiny people in the street just SCATTER lol#it was oncredible#anyway#i just wanna go travel again#desultory typing

I must admit that “shit-ass” is not a word I ever thought I’d see in a 19th century letter… but here we are.
“This is kind of a shit-ass of a letter, but I just wanted to let you know I was alive.”
- Gilbert Patterson to Jack, June 16, 1896.

YOU CAN DO HOBBIES JUST FOR FUN!!!
YOUR NOVEL DOESN’T HAVE TO BE FOR PUBLISHING!!! YOUR ART DOESN’T HAVE TO BE FOR SELLING!!! YOUR MUSIC DOESN’T HAVE TO GO ON YOUTUBE!!! YOU CAN JUST FUCKING DO THE THING BECAUSE YOU ENJOY IT AND NEVER EVEN SHOW ANYONE!!! THAT’S VALID AS HELL!!!
#yessssss#this is hard to frasp for me sometimes#because what is the piint of doing a thing if youre not good at thing#BUT#that is sillly#the goal of your life is not to be as productive as possible#do a thing for the joy of doing thing#not everythjng needs ro be monetised#not everything has to be your greatest passion project#not everything has to be your masterpiece#sometimes youre bored and sad at 11pm on a thursday night and want to paint a papaya#do it#papayas are lovely#you are lovely#do the thing#desultory typing

I was talking to a friend the other day and we were discussing sexism as you do and I just suddenly got hit with this urge to make a list of “sexist things my “feminist” ex boyfriend has said to me”
Mainly for catharsis.
But also, for comedy.
#highlights include#you cant fight the patriarchy with every argument you want to have with me#I’m definitely not watching Little Women with you#its so girly *grimace*#I can’t come stay over at your parents’ place after we get married because youll have to stay at mine because obviously#sons live with their parents#i just#what a complete dick#he was lovely at first#but then#this emerged#we have a common friend group so honestly i havent been able to get out this like anger ive been feeling#and Im wondering if maybe this list will hell me sorr that shit out lol#because i was super nice to him even as we broke up and somewhere inside#i wanna throw plates at a wall and yell a lot#fucking pandemic tho so im stuck at home by myself insteaf#yay
