i love it when italians argue about italian. like we don’t even know how our language really works we just roll with it

Italian is 107 different provincial languages stuck together with spit and half a prayer

My bf lives in another region and we are constantly arguing about regional variations of words and we both live in the fucking north of Italy

one time i saw a map of italy but instead of cities and roads etc it was just covered w different ways you can say the word vagina. it was covered

oh I can think of at least seven ways to say the word vagina right off the top of my head rn. I can’t imagine what I could do if I tried harder

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit

To wit:

I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.

In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:

“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.

“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”

Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.

Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕

a thing about she ra that I think is *criminally* underrated is scorpia and entrapta's friendship.

why? simple. they're some of the only people who actually try to understand and accommodate each other.

when scorpia rambles on about something she already told her, entrapta doesn't get upset. if she's annoyed, she doesn't lash out or demean her. she just checks if she told her with the recorder, and gently remind her she already said that. no yelling at her for being so annoying or loud. just politely telling her she already said that and scorpia responds to it immediately. when scorpia gets insecure in moment of truth thinking she's just bothering her, entrapta is quick to reassure her and tell her she can stay. no getting upset at her for being clingy. just reassuring her she can stay and explaining what was going on. entrapta never gets cross with scorpia for making mistakes.

this goes both ways. when catra shuts down entrapta wanting to drink hot cocoa in the north, scorpia is quick to go get it instead and make jokes about it. she is the FIRST one to defend her when people are too harsh on her, she vouches for her character with no hesitation. hell, she was able to think like entrapta surprisingly well. in my mind, they're very close.

neither of them are "normal" and they get each other. they don't expect the other to understand everything immediately. they just explain and are patient with each other even when they struggle.

(don't tag as ship.)

In the midst of that amazing time in my life came the worst, and that was when my friends just started dropping dead. They were sick today and dead tomorrow. And when you would go to the hospital to look for you friend they would be out in the hallway on a gurney pushed up against a wall dying for help, dying for love, dying to be saved. And some of them with that sign on their gurney that said "do not touch". And they suffered, and people wanted to act like they weren't good people, kind people, wonderful people, somebody's son, somebody's daughter, somebody. // SHERYL LEE RALPH receiving the Human Rights Campaign's National Ally for Equality Award 2022.
