I want to miss being in Italy for other reasons, I don’t want to be like “wow it was so easy to get in a train and go from city to city” as like the top thing
you can track how loudly I’m missing my friends in other cities/states based on me complaining about the lack of railroad infrastructure in the united states
#and even when we do have rail routes they're so expensive and / or inconvenient#like the whole 'well there is a train between indianapolis and chicago but it only goes one way each day and it's only one train a day'#'and it only leaves at 5am or 5pm'#like jesus christ can you make it less convenient
What we need to do is convince all the disney adults in america that high speed rail would be a preferable way of getting to disneyworld compared to driving or flying. We could maybe harness their fondness for the monorail or something, but this is a group of people that has time, income, and passion that we could leverage. If we could direct 5% of the enthusiasm they have for limited edition popcorn buckets into calling their representatives and demanding high-speed interstate rail, we could get it by 2030
#at this point I don't care whether rail is privately or publicly funded#I'll ride the Mickey Mouse Express if it means not having to drive or fly everywhere#if you're on the disneyland side of the country I just don't have as strong a grasp on your psychology as a demographic#but I went to school with some twice a year disneyworld people#if you are a disney adult and you're reading this please don't take it as an insult#I don't think it comes off that way but you never know

Ok if you vote you gotta justify it in the tags bc I’m conflicted…
I got some cannoli, because I like cannoli and a two pack was $2.99 at the store, and the ends are dipped in green chopped nuts, so I thought it was pistachios. it’s peanuts in green food coloring. I’ve never been so catfished in my entire life

there are so many people I went to school with who are getting married and changing their last names on facebook and every single time I see them I’m like “who on earth is that”
yesterday I wore sandals and a short dress and had to tie my hair up to stop from overheating. today I wore my (lighter) winter coat and could’ve been lifted up like Mary Poppins if I’d dared to use my umbrella at the wrong angle. it is rude and uncalled for that the weather is like this
Friends, allies, I come to you now with a request. I’m mentoring a young woman applying for scholarships to afford college and there used to be a ton of resource posts floating around tumblr that I can’t seem to locate anymore (or are out of date since I saved them).
Does anyone have current links to posts that compile scholarship opportunities, text book resources, etc? Or links to websites with
This is bothering me so here goes:
I'm on mobile so I can't do the ipa symbols but the (standard Hochdeutsch) German way has a voiceless z that sounds like "ts", and the -er sounds more like a quick, untoned "ah". The anglicized (American) way I would imagine has a sharp voiced z and a clear r-sound, and the "-mann" would sound like the word man.
I have no idea if Ngozi has already adressed this, so I also wonder how Jack himself would pronounce it? To my knowledge he doesn't speak German, and since he and Bob speak French at home, would they pronounce their name in a French (or, if there's a difference in this matter, Québecois) way? What would that sound like? 🤔🤔🤔
(in my head, i've been pronouncing jack in the american way, laurent in the french way and zimmermann in the german way. help me)
