Sometimes I wonder if native English speakers appreciate how much more comfortable the internet is for them than for the rest of the world

Like, you can go on tumblr and simply read stuff in your mother tongue? Amazing. Go on youtube and you don’t have to replay some sentences ten times to try to understand what they’re saying? Incredible. Look for practically anything on google and know that there will be a fuckton of results that you can read without having to spend half the time looking up words in a dictionary? Fascinating. Make a post or send an ask without panicking that you’ll make a silly mistake or that they won’t understand what you meant? Unbelievable.

lol this is still the most relatable gif ever:

I quote this GIF in half of my conversations. (Also not only smart but fun. I’m fucking funny in italian.)

I relate to this hard. In my native language it’s so much easier to express myself which, in turn, results in me sounding a lot more eloquent and (emotionally) intelligent. I constantly feel frustrated by my failure to truly convey my thoughts and ideas in English.

👆👆 I feel like I don’t know more than 17 words in english most of the time. 17 words that I put randomly together and hope for the best without really knowing what I’m doing.

the fact that every single anxiously non-native speaker in this post used completely flawless English just breaks my heart

He’s been so outspoken about toxic masculinity and it just gives me so much hope

Terry Crews is everything good and right with our world. 

This was the moment I knew I would always love Terry Crews. Because he is shown a picture of himself with his clutch, and he says, “Women have the best ideas.” He does not go into a sloppy explanation about he’s “manly enough” to carry a purse. There’s no “I am a real man” horseshit dropped here. What he says is “Women have the best ideas.” And the rest of the story is basically, “I want to carry my own shit, and my wife always carries a purse with her own shit, so I got a purse for mine.”

Like, this is equality 101. You want to carry your own shit, grab a purse. There should be no judgement for carrying your own shit. 

Terry Crews does not need our protection, but we must protect Terry Crews at all costs.

he also talked in Conan about using makeup and waxing his legs without trying to prove why he's not gay/manly enough etc etc. dude's just like "yeah i like wearing makeup cuz i'm getting a lil old" and "i love the feeling of rubbing my legs together after waxing". that's it

not to be dramatic but a hyperfixation on beauty ruins art and thats why all the looks are so boring/unimaginative for the met gala . where’s the UGLINESS? wheres the NARRATIVE? where’s the SHAMELESS DECADENCE as a VISUAL SHORTHAND to express EUPHORIC RELIGIOUS RAPTURE? this isn’t the time for clean simplicity and restraint! honestly

Honestly I second this. There is so, SO MUCH inspiration available and it dissapoints me so much that the vast majority of the women's outfits were virgin marys and then the men just had a cross embroidered somewhere. bitch where are the martyrs? where are the four evangelists? where are the saints? where are the art masterpieces? where are the stories? considering that this is an event organized by and in a fucking museum, and 90% of western academic art history has been constructed around catholic art, I honestly can't forgive this
