Is he aware that we physically fucking can’t

? physically cant what?

Bend our ankles like that

Like what???

At steep angles! Bones fuse and prevent that if you don’t do it regularly as a kid. It’s the same reason we don’t climb trees like monkeys, whose ankles don’t have the same restrictions we do

Human ankles don’t normally work like that!

Iirc someone did an anatomical study and people of slavic descent have shallower hip sockets that allow that movement more easily as well.

Yes! This was something we talked about in my physical anthropology class, that like, some people physically cannot slav squat just because of their bones and skeletal structure.

Look until this post started going around I had no idea some people couldn’t do this???

Reblog and tag with whether you can slav squat or not.

shinzo abe refused to apologize for imperial japan war crimes, namely the “comfort women” sexual slavery system, and denied reparations for south korean victims. he wants to create a false narrative of imperial Japanese military’s past glory and how the people can still revive it. he’s a fascist, plain and simple. his death is not a loss. we will not mourn him.

shinzo abe was the face of japanese fascism and the amount of evil he inherited and proudly continued the legacy of can't be fully expressed in a social media post. a lot of korean ainu ryukyu southeast asian and chinese people (along with jpn people that oppose the state) are celebrating today with their loved ones that an evil man has been made to feel a fraction of the pain he caused and died like so many of us did at his and his ancestors' and political party's hands. it's really unfortunate that more of us could die because of this, that he could become a martyr for japanese fascism as they mobilize in retaliation and a reason for the US empire to tighten its hold in asia. japanese fascists are not subtle about their genocidal goals and have had a special grudge against the entire korean peninsula since the 1500s, when they failed to conquer us during the joseon dynasty. they annexed us with US permission from 1910 to 1945 and that was not enough for them. abe and the nippon kaigi's official platform is that they want a return of the japanese empire, it's genuinely terrifying thinking about what they will be capable of now.

reblogging for the second time because I still laugh uncontrollably. in my mind the cows are trying to be gracious about their strange gift. ‘yes we love it thank u’

I know I literally  just reblogged this but I love this video so much it always makes me laugh because

1. “LADIES”

2. The very disappointed “Eclair…”

3. “WHAT?” (High pitched mooing in response)

4. The way they turn into Pleakley from Lilo and Stitch as they get progressively more frustrated

I would genuinely like to know who to blame for making these children so disconnected from the concept of imagination that they think the simpler explanation for what they’re doing is that they’re projecting their consciousness into one of infinite realities where fictional characters are real.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.

REBLOG TO SAVE A WRITER'S LIFE

Terms You Might Want To Know For Your Wuxia/Xianxia Fic

MXTX's danmei are getting increasingly popular, and the fandoms are getting more fic-happy. I've noticed that some writers seem interested in writing their own fics but are concerned of making mistakes with niche honorifics and titles. I've noticed some that have jumped right in, but have made innocent errors that I'd like to correct but fear coming off as rude or presumptuous. And so I've made this list of terms that covers the basics and also some that are a little more niche since they're usually directly translated in cnovels.

DISCLAIMER: This is by no means a comprehensive list of everything one needs to know or would want to know concerning ancient Chinese honorifics and titles, merely what I myself consider useful to keep in mind.

Titles
  • Shifu: 'Martial father'; gender-neutral
  • Shizun: 'Martial father'; more formal than 'shifu'; gender-neutral
  • Shimu: ‘Martial mother’; wife of your martial teacher
  • Shiniang: ‘Martial mother’; wife of your martial teacher who is also a martial teacher
  • Shibo: elder apprentice-brother of your shifu; gender-neutral
  • Shishu: younger apprentice-brother of your shifu; gender-neutral
  • Shigu: apprentice-sister of your shifu
  • Shizhi: your martial nephew/niece
  • Shimei: younger female apprentice of the same generation as you
  • Shijie: elder female apprentice of the same generation as you
  • Shidi: younger male apprentice of the same generation as you
  • Shixiong: elder male apprentice of the same generation as you
  • Shige: elder male apprentice of the same generation as you, specifically one who has the same shifu as you or is the son of your shifu
  • Zhanglao: an elder of your sect
  • Zhangbei: a senior of your sect
  • Qianbei: a senior not of your sect
  • Wanbei: a junior not of your sect
