All right now I was wondering what kind of restaurant would start renaming their servers after Snow White characters

I love it when people choose a naming scheme with a finite number of options, then due to poor planning, run out of names.

I worked for a place that had named all of their servers after the seven dwarfs, because they had seven servers, and then when they needed another server they were like, uh, okay, so one of them is Snow White, and inevitably more servers went online, and they were dipping deeper and deeper into the named characters from the Disney adaptation. (When I left, they had one called "Birds", since the birds sing to Snow White and are, by some technical measure, characters.)

It's funny to me in the same way it's funny when someone starts writing too big, runs out of space, and has to write in tiny letters to make it all fit.

Been trying to post on twitter in the interests of Overcoming Social Anxiety, but I’ve gotten a bit overwhelmed by the constant liveliness & manic energy over there (specifically in tpot). The for you page is so stressful.

Maybe I’ll try tumblr for a bit… or at least until I can figure out how to curate my twitter a bit better.

i just. when owen tried on isabel's magic dress and maddy blushed and smiled and hid in her hand. the intimacy in how she drew the symbol on the back of owen's neck. an out lesbian showing those feelings for a closeted, pre-transition trans girl who doesn't even seem to know that's true of herself yet. knowing her before she knows herself. don't speak to me i'm literally dust on the floor

"Guy" and "man" have different connotations with adjectival nouns. Like "tree guy" = arborist but "tree man" = he lives in a tree, or maybe he is a tree.

I love when people are really into dancing at the club but are completely sober. it takes a level of near monastic scholarship that I sort of envy

i think we should all start using arabic words and phrases more often because its a beautiful language and also theres not really. english equivalents that have the same vibes

theres also the comedy potential of it. you guys dont know the joy of having your muslim friend text you "hopefully the racists in our city will all get sick and cant go to the protest" and you, as a pasty white guy, responding with "inshallah they get covid"

its a one hit KO every time. its fucking hilarious. theres no english word that has the same effect.

he also once texted me that he got over a mysterious illness he came down with (i think? i cant remember the exact context) and i responded with "subhanallah he is cured"

again, one hit KO. he lost his shit.

what im saying is we gotta normalise arabic. its just a language like any other, and it has some great words. its just like saying "thank god" or whatever, but theres so much variety and nuance. its beautiful
