the only reason why ten year old girls are destroying stupidly overpriced products at sephora to make “skincare smoothies” is because they aren’t being given access to a yard with a variety of mud, sticks, rocks, puddles, and old ceramic planters to make potions in. the children yearn for the apothecary

one my professors has started a podcast with another professor looking specifically at literature from Old and Middle English which have failed to inspire much if any academic inquiry. it's called Canterbury Fails, and there are some doozys

At the gate for my flight home from visiting friends and there's a woman here with a service Shiba Inu. No pics because he has a Do Not Disturb vest and taking pics of strangers is illegal but I need to stress how ON DUTY this animal is. Ears up. Eyes doing Lazer scans of everything. Examining everyone who passes within 10ft like a security guard. Ass planted on her feet. I have never seen a dog with such intense chivalric guardian energy before. He has tiny eyebrows and they are FURROWED with concentration.
There's people for whom "we're leaving in the morning" means "we ride at dawn motherfuckers, you can finish waking up and getting dressed in the car, we'll grab breakfast somewhere along the way", and there's people for whom it means "we'll get going somewhere before noon".
Yes! Except both these examples are rhotic. The first example, the Scots accent, has actually an r sound closer to the Germanic origins of English. In the second example, the speaker is still producing the r sound, what's getting reduced are the vowels
Merry Christmas 🎄! Sometimes the bats’ aerial feats did not work out. When they fall, the Ground Hospital is there to receive. They will be up flying again in no time.

AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER. Terry took Death’s arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night. The End.
