I don’t have tiktok so I had to find this like a mole digging for worms and nothing could have prepared me for the actual video itself

Still makes me ghhhhbffddxxccd

you've all gotta stop acting like "overweight" is a gentle PC alternative for the word fat and not itself an assertion of the ontological wrongness of being large. Over What Weight Precisely

and it feels very much like a product of this thing where the majority of people cannot ever conceptualize fatphobia or fat politics as legitimate or really anything beyond a meanness/bullying issue that can be solved with a couple language tweaks and one plus size runway show a year. it's great that you know not to be actively vitriolic towards fat people, but if you're still calling us "overweight" and talking about the ""obesity epidemic"" and justifying our presence in the world only through the fact that losing weight and keeping it off is difficult so we should really be pitied instead of hated, you're still moralizing around our bodies and positing them as a problem!

Not everyone knows this so im gonna tell you. Countries that speak the same spoken language will not necessarily use the same sign language.

For example, American Sign Language and French Sign Language are related and I’ve known ASL users who have said they could stumble through communication with people who use LSF.

British sign language is completely unrelated to ASL however. The two languages have almost nothing in common. BSL is related to Australian sign language but Auslan and BSL still aren’t the same language.

Mexico from what I gather has at least three completely unrelated sign languages, though LSM is the most widely used. Mainland China and Taiwan use completely different unrelated sign languages despite both countries using Mandarin. Portuguese sign language is influenced by Swedish sign language while Brazilian sign language is influenced by LSF. In most of Canada they use ASL but in Quebec they have their own unique sign language that’s still related to ASL and LSF. Nicaraguan sign language is a unique language naturally developed by children in a school for the deaf and is completely unrelated to the sign languages around it in other Spanish speaking countries.

I could go on and on and on. There’s hundreds of sign languages out there and they don’t follow the same geographic lines that spoken ones do. Keep that in mind.

by the age of 23 you should be able to read cyrillic and know the basics of at least 3 foreign languages

What is British? It’s the soil we stand on, man! Our history. These British isles.

Fuck it -- God bless the rural queers. God bless every dyke, faggot and tranny who lives in a town with less than 10k. God bless every queer living in red towns in red counties, in blue states or red states alike. God bless every queer who's also a redneck, who knows how to hunt and fish. God bless every queer living in a town where every other house is condemned. Where half the storefronts are empty.

God bless rural queers.

HOBBES vs. TIGGER cage match TO THE DEATH say goodbye to your childhood because ONE! WILL!! DIE!!!!

Picturing two tiger plushies just kind of sitting there facing each other in Thunderdome

Hobbes and Tigger would find some aspect of tigerhood to bond over, but Calvin would put Christopher Robin in the ground.

Whenever I see people talking about Russia im just like . "I wonder what my PhD Russian historian wife would think about this" and before I can send her the post she distracts me with being hot and my wife

Lemme restate that im literally always free to answer questions about Russia and the Soviet Union

Big important question: has sour cream always been a big part of Russian cuisine or is this a newer development

Yes. Like some other cultures in cold parts of the world (Central Asia, the Midwest) Russians just fucking love dairy products and multiple different dairy products (and endless varieties of those types) are a cornerstone of their cuisine.

Nod nod nod Sour Cream Union
