music is one of the most unrewarding things to talk to with people unless you both like similar stuff/think about music in the same way or else it just becomes one of those things where the two of you take turns putting on a song you like while the other listens to it with like a heavily restrained expression and goes “oh, uh, yeah its pretty good”

Not to be controversial but languages and cultures are inseparable and you can’t treat languages like they’re completely independent entities

Over 207 people have been killed in Sri Lanka in a series of bombings that targeted churches celebrating Easter Sunday mass and a few hotels. Police are saying this is a coordinating attack led by a group of seven people who have been arrested. The Sri Lankan Defense Minister has urged people not to post the bombers names and to make them out as martyrs. A nearby shopkeeper to one of the churches said, “It was like a river of blood.” I’ll be honest I spent all yesterday, which in the east we call “The Saturday of Light”, extremely worried that something like this would happen again to Eastern Christians like it did before in Egypt and in Pakistan. It seems like too much to ask to be left in peace on our holiest day. I wonder if there will be any calls to raise money for the victims and to rebuild their churches. Or will the world look on as we continue to die.
