fuck "girl lunch" fuck "girl math" a woman is a hairy animal who sweats and grunts and excretes and hungers and gets wrinkly and dies eventually. you have to love that.

do you mean fingering (yarn weight) or fingering (instrument hand position) or fingering (nsfw) or fingering (mispelled potato)

#music school was so fucking funny sometimes#I'd get told shit like I needed to work on my fingering or use more/less tongue and I had to listen with a straight face too#do you know how hard that was#do you know how fucking difficult that could be sometimes (@hjartasalt)

the truth is this post was originally inspired by that time when i, a clueless aroace, tried to explain my struggles with fingering and tonguing to a non-clueless non-musician, and they were just like... bro what

One time my teacher took my sheet music and wrote "CLIMAX" right where. Well. Where the climax of the piece was. And I wasn't allowed to laugh. How cruel.

IN ALL CAPS. 😭. He felt like I wasn't doing enough there and really wanted to drive home his criticisms.

feeling normal about this also

I was trying to see it in the arrangement of stars and galaxies, but it's just. A fucking. It's a fucking. Question mark. Floating in space. Not a constellation, just a floating goddamn question mark. I want to scream.

My bf studied japanese in high school and often says "gambate!" (not sure of spelling) to be like. encouraging. I think it means roughly "let's get this bread." However, as someone who took spanish in high school, it always sounds like a command to me. And as near as I can tell, in spanish it would mean "go shrimp yourself."

I'm definitely not a fluent speaker, so I could be wrong, but here's how I got there:

In Spanish, some (informal, I think?) commands are formed by dropping the "r" from the end of an infinitive verb. (Every infinitive verb in Spanish ends in r.) For example, "to run" is "correr." If you want to tell someone to run, it's "corre." If you want to tell someone to do something to something/someone, you append a little pronoun thing to the end. From "besar" (to kiss) we get "bésame" (kiss me). From "cocinar" (to cook) we get "cocínalo" (cook it). From "callar" (to silence) we get "cállate" (silence yourself/shut up).

So, "gambate" immediately reminds me of "cállate," which is a rude command. It would be formed from the verb "gambar" and the second person object "te" for "you/yourself." But "gambar" isn't a word in Spanish. However, "gamba" is a word. It means "shrimp." So while it isn't technically grammatically correct, in the same way we "verb" nouns in English, the noun "gamba" is being used in the place of a verb here. "Gambate" (or more properly "gámbate" to maintain the correct stress for both the Spanish and Japanese). "Go shrimp yourself."

Native spanish speaker. You're quite right about your linguistics here, and spanish speakers love to make up new words by conjugating existing words (at the very least, my parents do)

My confusion stemmed from never having heard the word gamba before. To my knowledge the word for shrimp is camarón

So i looked it up and apparently gamba actually means prawn. So it's actually go prawn yourself

thinking about horror genres and indigenous readings again... the home invasion genre is largely the settler's fear of being colonized

what if someone forced themselves into your house and killed your whole family and sat at the dining table grinning while their own family arrived and all you can do is try to resist it even if they try to kick you out or straight up murder you. while they raided your kitchen cabinets and pretended they'd always been there
