when i came out as trans i had an old friend from my church days message me to congratulate me and ask me for my name and pronouns. and i was shocked tbh cause he was such a head-deep-up-the-church’s ass kind of guy so i was super wary.

and after digging a little deeper i found out that he was very supportive of transness, saying that trans men are men and trans women are women

BUT

he also believed in the church’s gender roles meaning that trans women had to marry men and be submissive wives and trans men had to marry women and be strong christian husbands.

which is like ????

the weirdest and most surreal form of trans inclusive misogyny i’ve ever seen.

OMG everyone I know the ACTUAL story behind the gif this time!

Yes, it’s in Australia– that’s a big angry goanna that wandered into a popular restaurant. All the Australians in the vicinity went OH FUCK NO and cleared off, because goannas are mean.

The waitress you see there is a French exchange student, who was quoted as saying something to the effect of “I thought it was a weird ugly dog” and had no idea it was a reptile that wanted to rip her arms off. She’s been hailed as a hero who saved diners.

It’s amazing what power “not knowing” has.

The thing I especially love about this is this is a pretty dangerous animal, except she managed to defeat it by just fucking grabbing it by the tail and walking too quickly for it to turn around. Once again the animal kingdom is thwarted because we evolved opposable thumbs, long limbs, and reckless bravery.

weird, ugly dog thwarted by foreign exchange student and polished floors 

my take-home lesson here is that nobody in france has ever first-hand seen a dog

no no, french dogs just be like that

unrecognizable force VS ignorant object

the comments on this get better and better every time it comes across my dash

I’ve never been a Britney Spears fan, but I like to read memoirs and I may still not necessarily be a Britney fan, but I definitely hate Justin Timberlake, and I hope the paparazzi who harassed her when she shaved her head get gonorrhea and their dicks fall off. So much rage.

cryptotheism:

The closer a language is to yours, the easier it is to understand, the further it is from you, the harder it is to understand. But there’s a sort of uncanny valley right in the middle that makes a language sound silly.

I’m an English speaker. German sounds similar, I can even find cognates sometimes. Mandarin Chinese sounds completely alien, but I can understand that it is a language.

But Dutch, Dutch sounds hilarious. Dutch sounds like a clown version of English. I wonder why that is.

I’ve heard Spanish speakers say similar things about Portuguese, which makes me think there’s some sort of linguistic Silly Zone.

me, decently fluent at the time in german, staring at the contents of a Danish magazine like I’ve shifted dimensions 2 inches to the left

Can confirm, Portuguese sounds to me like a drunk Russian trying to speak Spanish.
