Honestly, as a German I can not quite understand the obsession of the English speaking world with the question whether a word exists or not. If you have to express something for which there is no word, you have to make a new one, preferably by combining well-known words, and in the very same moment it starts to exist. Agree?

Deutsche Freunde, could you please create for me a word for the extreme depression I feel when I bend down to pick up a piece of litter and discover two more pieces of litter?

  • um = around
  • die Welt = world
  • die Umwelt = environment
  • ver = prefix to indicate something difficult or negative, a change that leads to deterioration or even destruction that is difficult to reverse or to undo, or a strong negative change of the mental state of a person
  • der Müll = garbage, trash, rubbish, litter
  • -ung = -ing
  • die Vermüllung = littering
  • ver- = see before
  • zweifeln = to doubt
  • -ung = see before
  • die Verzweiflung = despair, exasperation, desperation

die Umweltvermüllungsverzweiflung = …

This is a german compound on the spot master class and I am LIVING

  • das Monster = monster
  • das Wort = word
  • der Groll = grudge, anger, malice, rancor

der Monsterwortgroll = …

Monsterwortbildungsimitationsunfähigkeitsverzweiflungsgroll

  • fähig = able

I’m just posting this here for my aces and aros who are feeling down on themselves and defeated tonight. Remember that nine out of ten people support you and that the current loudest voices are not those of the majority.

i still like how this old-ass song by the diamonds is just about this guy whose girlfriend wants to fuck monsters, and i’d never expect such a relatable song to come from a 1950s quartet

“monsters turn my girlfriend on” the song

I love to take my baby to a movie show So I can try to smooch her while the lights are way down low But she won’t curdle to a story of romance- There’s only one way I have a chance.
It takes the batman, wolfman, frankenstein or dracula To put her in the mood for love. It takes the catgirl, dogboy, creature from the black lagoon To make her feel like making love.

i like how it implies that she’s a comic geek and bi too. so relatable.

@editorincreeps I think someone wrote a song about you…

“I can say that Nakia, when we meet her, is a War Dog which means she’s one of Wakanda’s CIA members. Her job is to spy around the world and report back to Wakanda to keep Wakanda safe and keep Wakanda informed. […] I would say that I am very attracted to Nakia’s determination. She’s determined. She’s methodical.” Lupita Nyong’o.

Several businesses with ties to the National Rifle Association are breaking up with the group amid mounting pressure from gun-control proponents following the Parkland, Fla. school shooting.

MetLife said it would stop providing discounts for auto and home insurance. “We value all our customers but have decided to end our discount program with the NRA,” the company told USA TODAY in a statement.

Cybersecurity firm Symantec, which offered NRA discounts to its LifeLock identity theft protection service and Norton anti-virus software, told USA TODAY on Friday that it had “stopped its discount program with the National Rifle Association.”

SimpliSafe, a home security services company, also ended its NRA promotions. “We have discontinued our existing relationship with the NRA,” CEO Chad Laurans said in a statement.

Rental car companies Hertz, Enterprise and Avis Budget are also ending their NRA discounts.

First National Bank of Omaha was among the first to ditch the NRA when it announced Thursday that it would end a Visa credit card it had offered with NRA branding, citing a deluge of customer complaints.
