I’m a teacher assistant for spanish grammar and the professor was explaining epícenos (single gendered words that encompass masculine and feminine beings) and he was using iguana as an example and he said: “there is only one gender… iguana” and i had to mute my microphone
“there is only one gender… iguana”

I think adults need summer vacation. Like let's just close down all our jobs for three months and play outside. Please. I'm so tired.
Love to see this post getting notes again. None of us are ok.
i may just be french but do americans really not get paid summer vacations? you don't go to the beach with your kids? "There is no federal or state statutory minimum paid vacation or paid public holidays" am i reading this right? like i'm not trying to rub anyone's face in it but you're just stuck in the rat race year-round until you're old and that's normal and accepted??? in the 21st century???
I can't fucking believe we live like this
That map is kind of misleading. At least in the case of Spain, but I suspect mostly everywhere else too: you see, here you get 22 mandatory vacation days, yeah, but those are just the ones you get to choose the dates for. Then, you have another 14 days per year of mandatory public holidays. So the minimum number of paid off days is 36 per year, not 22.
If I'm not wrong, the US is the only country in the world with no legally mandated public holidays.
This makes it seem all the more evil and insidious that the usa tries so hard to infect the world with our version of capitalism...

There are so many unintended consequences to well-intentioned actions. It feels like a game you can’t win.
#CHIDI WAS RIGHT
The Good Place really went with making their new Point ‘there is no ethical consumption under capitalism’ and I respect that
And then went on to say “blaming individuals for all of this is absurd and evil, as is locking them up for punishment instead of rehabilitation” and I respect that
Also, “consequentialism is a fundamentally flawed branch of ethics”
Fuck, this may very well be the end of Eurovision as a cultural force in Europe.
What’s going on:
So yeah, there is a chance this may be it for the festival. Good job, Eurovision. Great fucking job.
Shit is going down HARD in Eurovision right now.We are hours from the beginning of the fest and in the last couple of hours:
To that last point, several other spokespeople also stood down with hours to go. Including Käärijä for Finland
adding that according to the dutch broadcasting association (AVROTROS) joost klein was disqualified by the EBU for…
making a violent gesture to a camera lady who kept filming him despite him asking her not to repeatedly. the lady contractually was not allowed to film him after his rehearsal or semi final act (forgor which one it was).
he never laid a hand on her, there were various eye witnesses to the incident who corroborate this being the case. swedish police were involved and somehow they already closed the case, which is kinda suspect if you ask me.
My boyfriend just woke up, mostly still asleep and told me “don’t worry, it’s getting better” in a heavy, American accent, which is unusual for an Australian man.
“Why are you American?” I asked, to which I got:
“Sorry, it’s getting better” in a stereotypical posh English accent.
“Why are you English?” I asked, amused.
“What is he normally?” He managed to ask.
“He? You’re not anyone else, you’re you.”
“Ugh, me” was the last thing he said, in a right proper Aussie accent before he fell back into proper sleep.
Bitch just thwarted a ghost possession by judging his accents

'Cause I love all the poison away with the boys in the band
Okay so this one is L O N G- Don't question the format I'm trying new things.
Aftg, it's been a while! Almost got a full playlist of song that would match aftg and that I would love to animate, unfortunately I have exams to pass (3rd year art school film incoming) so this is a kind of compromise.
today I learned that in 2008, the city council of florence overturned dante’s sentence of execution if he returned from exile. yes, dante’s inferno dante, who died in 1321.
but the funniest part of this is not that they were debating the exile of a man who has been dead for over 500 years.
the funniest part is that the vote was 19-5. five people voted to uphold dante’s exile.
The objectively funniest part of this is actually that the city that holds his remains, Ravenna, refused to give his remains back. This was a ploy from florence to have his remains moved back for the tourist money and its been ongoing for a long time. Florence had a fake tomb built in the city to trick people into visiting, and have tried to force the return of the remains.
His actual caretakers have been very steadfast in keeping them hidden, moved, or generally out of reach to respect his choice in life to never, ever, ever return to florence, even when he was first offered the chance to return. This is at this point an almost millenium long feud that florence is really, really mad about losing
so basically the five people who wanted to uphold his exile were in the right
First of all, boycott eurovision. However, I AM loving all the various stories of pro-palestinian rebellion that are coming out surrounding eurovision.
Apparently security surrounding the event is through the roof, and the Eurovision team literally frisk searched all the contestants to make sure they didn't smuggle any palestinian scarves or flags in, but despite this:
It's great, I love it. They can try all they like to block every mention of Palestine, but they haven't been succeeding and they'll continue to fail.
Fuck Israel, fuck Eurovision, and Free Palestine. 🇵🇸
Don't forget the Belgian broadcaster union

Can someone talk to me about architecture, I am deprived of enrichment
Was discussing architecture with my spoose recently because we took the train downtown and architecture inevitably comes up in conversation when one is in downtown Chicago. He said he read that ornamentation is starting to come back into fashion, which we agreed would be a huge improvement over the minimalist glass-and-steel style that's dominated for the last several decades and has produced a couple interesting buildings and a lot of boring ones. What's your opinion?
Meis Van Der Rohe caused irreparable damage to skyscraper design, are you seriously telling me that a tower covered in insolated glass looks better than Art Deco or Beaux Arts Towers
Like how is this:
Better than this:
tried my best
