I’d like to have purpose burnt into the cracks of my skin, a purpose so powerful and single-minded that it can fling people from me. (oleander. they/it. mid20s. icon by fateology.)

you need to get it out of your mind that psychosomatic illness is just “making up symptoms” when it’s actually much more like your body is being actively poisoned by chemicals released from your brain
Silt verses politicians will be like ya we're going to create a living sentient weapon and yes maybe she's angry at us for all the trauma and pain we put her through to make her but can we control her? Well. Can you control anything in this world?
So I've been learning French for a while and 'faire' is actually an incredible word. Like what a fucking breakthrough in economy of language.
Faire is a verb that is usually translated into English as "to do/to make," but it covers way more actions than that, which is very confusing for new speakers. because (I have realized) that's not really what faire means.
Faire is actually a word that just gestures vaguely in the direction of the object of the sentence and goes "you know." "Je fais du velo." "Je fais du courses." "Je fais mes valises." I'm biking. I go grocery shopping. I'm packing my bags. You're just sort of pointing at a bike and going "you know, the obvious thing you'd do with it."
English: "You mean RIDE it??"
French: "Sure whatever."
Like idk I just really enjoy the concept of a catch-all verb that you can just slap onto almost anything because who fucking gives a shit, you get the idea. There's a bike. what do you think I'm going to do with it.
Every time I watch a movie that isn't in English I'm like "FUCKKKK I gotta learn this language, I gotta get fluent rn, I gotta get ON THIS" and I feel envious of people who don't have that feeling. I imagine it is freeing
