Se e vida é, the second single taken from Pet Shop Boys’ 1996 album Bilingual.

This was a promotional copy sent to our radio station in November 1996. It contained two single discs printed on bright yellow and neon green vinyl, with an instrumental version and a few dubs and remixes of the song.

It spent 8 weeks in the singles chart in the UK, one reviewer gushed that it was life-affirming and the best Pets single in years.

This release contains the original, the Deep Dish Dub, Deep Dish Liquid Remix, Pink Noise Mix, and a few remixes by Mark!

That's all I know about particular release, I was just surprised that they would send out a no doubt rarer (and costlier to make and ship??) coloured vinyl to campus (and other) radio stations, but I'm glad that 25 years later, we still have our copy and it's in pretty good and listenable condition!

my comic is live right now!

kyle and rex is an absurdist drama set in a stagnant afterlife where everyone lies, cheats, manipulates, and hurts each other in order to gain political power and admiration from the public.

with characters constantly haunted by ghosts of the past, trying to stay on top of the food chain despite constant betrayals and having their secrets held up above their heads, comes back kyle, from his long stay back as a guiding spirit on earth, to take back reigns of the throne in the inbetween. though much like everyone else, hes got a long list of dirty laundry that many are aching to reveal. there are no real friends here.

something I love about hearing ESL speakers talk and specifically make mistakes is it gives you great clues about syntax in their native language. sure you could think your coworker is dumb for saying the sentence in that order but why would you when you have just gotten a valuable tool to help you speak fluent Language later on

#i love watching Italian Baby i nanny for grow up bilingual and try to mash English and Italian sentence structure together #she learned what streetcars are recently and has since started calling them carstreets #it's a mistake technically but more than that it is a clue!!!#she is out here synthesizing!!!

Wait, English isn't your first language?? Now I'm super curious

lol my tags on this are a little misleading. English is my first language (and the only one I’d call myself fluent in), but my parents are immigrants and while I don’t speak their language very confidently I do understand it very well. but although I am absolutely in AWE of all the incredible fic writers who write such amazing prose in English while not being native speakers, I am not one of them and English is, by pretty much any definition, my first language :)

#asks #ymfingsteadilyon #don’t get me started on why I’m not technically bilingual #that is a whole other rant

Woah this little project has been going on for 3 years now! A little crazy that I've managed to keep this thing running but I am nothing if not committed to the bit. Thank you to everyone who has been here since day one and everyone who has followed along more recently in this journey to post every single Sanji! Here's to three more years 🥂

#not sanji #this isnt housekeeping either but ill tag it with that #im scheduling this out on the 11th ive just finished queuing ch333 #but ueueue i started this blog as a freshman in college and i graduate in may #ive changed hyperfixations half a dozen times and i stopped keeping up with #the weekly releases for one piece in like august 2020 #wano was just getting too convoluted for me #but one piece was what i hyperfixated on at the start of the first lockdown #so it will always have a special place in my heart #also hopefully by the time this posts ill have my new car #and this blog will have been with me through 4 phones (technically) and 2 cars #and 3 different dorms/apartments #i dont know what im doing post graduation tbh i just applied for a job as a #patient representative at a clinic in my home town which will get me on my feet in the #professional world but i could do just about anything #everyone wants an anthropologist but nobody wants to admit it #im also bilingual which is also a useful skill. but if anyone says they know what theyre doing #especially when theyre my age (22) they are lying #we're all kinda groping around blindly hoping to find something that sticks #anyway ive rambled enough! dkshsjkssj if you read all this.... thank you?#idk this blog means a lot to me ive been keeping it up through a lot of rough patches #its like. one of the constants in my life idk.#anyway. i need to do dishes and make lunch byeeeeeee #i never tagged this with housekeeping.#housekeeping

coming out to yourself as non-binary and finally feeling comfortable using they/them pronouns is all fun and games until you realize

ah fuck, hablo español

#non binary #nb #spanish #hispanics #bilingual #no cuz the sheer PANIC i went through when i remembered #months later #i am spanish #i speak spanish #i am also #NORWEGIAN #being a multilingual enby means discovering your gender in every single language #technically i'm a he/they #im a they/them in english but an él in spanish #norwegian? no clue yet tbh #learning a language be like #these are the pronouns in our language!#great #which ones will be mine then

21 and 48 (this is an unsubtle invitation)

21. Would you ever collaborate with another writer for a story?

👀 oooh I have no idea how that supposed to go tbh I've collabed with writers as a visual artist before but never had writer friend actively collabing on the same work together, at most I've offhandedly mentioned things I was writing to another writer and the conversation helped me continue shaping it indirectly? But like yeah absolutely would be up for it!!! :D

48. What do you look for in a beta?

I've never had people beta-read my stuff before my last fic! For the last one I did get help from one friend who likes the Kurashikis a normal amount and one who likes vlr a normal amount, it wasn't really something I thought about with a lot of weight to tbh? I just felt I wanted to show them first and see what they'd think, formal feedback aside from grammar stuff wasn't really a priority although I always love criticism

#ask game #thanks for the ask!#I would love to hear anything else you might have in mind about that ^•^#writing's much more of a hobbie for me it's honestly a way to process a bunch of stuff before it's a craft I have technical skill in #I never did well in creative writing classes and I started writing in english only so people around me Couldn't read what I did manage #which is apparently not a unique experience from nerdy bilingual kids #but anyways all that to say I'm not entirely confident in my competences but I do want to improve #but I do also have a greater mental barrier against sharing writing than drawings and I'm not great showing either to other people

i want to be properly bilingual but i am unwilling to put any effort into put in the monumental effort of learning another language

#i say 'properly' bc i think i am technically bilingual #like im receptive bilingual but i can't entirely speak it #played myself #a decomposing dump of my thoughts
