Let's not get carried away with the "lol virgin website" thing, not only because it's mean spirited, but because if you're on here at all you're probably ill adjusted in some way. "Unlike the rest of you I have sex" okay but what does your kitchen sink look like right now?

In Japanese, they don’t say “moon,” they say “tsuki,” which literally translates to “moon,” and I think that’s how language works.

Hey its been at least 9 years anything changed?

do people even know the extent of sanctions on the iranian people? my mom's family can't afford fruit anymore. it's a state of psychological warfare; literally nobody living there has any sort of hope for the future. added sanctions from the EU are going to destroy the lives of 87 million innocent people

as my cousin put it: "there is no point to saving up out of uncertainty that it will be worth anything in a month. what investments can you make in the future when you can't even be sure how much food will cost tomorrow? this isn't living." there are, of course, absolute shortages as well—my late grandmother experienced a period of deterioration because the medicine she needed was just not available. many such cases.

obsessed with the infamous "blorbo from my shows" shitpost being quoted in the opening of the new york fucking time's word of the year article without ever once mentioning that it originated in the unsung bedrock of internet culture: tumblr dot gov dot edu dot net slash careers

saddest/funniest part is that last time i checked op of the post fucking hated that it became part of the lexicon

the relationship between the linguists and the nyt is very funny bc its sweet and validating that they send reporters but on a whole reporters do not know much about linguistics so the linguists are trying to explain things like "what are words" (complicated) and "where do words come from" (society) and the reporters have this underlying belief that words come from this linguist committee on some level. it's really hard to disabuse them of this

anyways the american dialect society puts out a journal called american speech that has a feature called among the new words and they do in fact talk about blorbo being from tumblr in the linguist journal, they just usually do not succeed in making the nyt reporter read anything before publishing

BILLIE PIPER for GRAZIA MAGAZINE (2024)

Stede: can I help you with -

Ed: No! No, I got it. Don't need any help. Just me. On my own. Alone. As fucking usual.

Stede: aww come on love don't be like that

Ed: I have to be like that! Because how can I trust you to help me carry these thirty-six decorative plush throws upstairs to our bedroom -

Stede: you're being unreasonable -

Ed: nah, man. I know how it is. If you can't accept me with my thirty-six decorative plush throws then you can't accept me without them.

Stede: I just asked if they all needed to be animal print, that's all

Ed: yeah but you said it in a really judgy way. You can just tell me that you hate the animal print, and me and my thirty-six decorative plush throws will pack up our bags and leave on our own

Stede: why do you keep saying that there are thirty-six of them?

Ed: because I'm fucking happy to have found all thirty-six of them on sale, Stede! And I like owning them, and you're being judgy -

Stede: alright

Ed: you're being judgy about my thirty-six decorative animal print plush throws!

Stede: alright. I guess it's true that I wouldn't have personally gone for the animal print. Let alone thirty-six of them

Ed: uh-huh, just keep rubbin' it in man

Stede: but I will accept them into my heart because you love them. I can learn to love them too Ed

Ed:

Ed: really?

Stede: yes. I would love that

Ed: I think I might like that too

Stede: perfect. I'm taking one of the leopard print ones for my side of the bed

Ed: see now that's great because I've got four of that one. And this snow leopard print one has sparkles, fuckin' look at the sparkles -

Stede: oh my god it sparkles, Ed!!

Ed: we can hang these up on the walls when we get married. As a symbol of our undying bond and being able to overcome hardships and shit

Stede: I would love that

Finished this piece! It's a study of a scene from 'Lupin III' but with a Good Omens twist. Recently I was reminded of the movie again, and ever since I saw that little yellow car I've been thinking about recreating it with the yellow bentley instead.

I've also added it here for use as a free wallpaper. As with any of my work it's free for all personal uses ‼✨💕

probably most people know this, but when you get one of those website urls with long tracking data added to the end of it, you can delete the ? and everything after it and you're left with the original url - which we do on principle because we hate giving tracking info

youtube is the main culprit but lots of other social media sites do it too
