fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes

May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love

of course its month of the year again. its fucking always month of the year around here

Declaring today to be No Month Monday. Yesterday was August 20, tomorrow will be August 22, but today is just Monday. No months, no masters.

I love the term “loanwords” because it implies that you intend to give them back.

*dumps a box full of words on French’s front porch* You never came back for your shit.

Loanwords, loaned to the British Museum so

Would everyone like to know the best thing??? There are two types of borrowed word - loan words and calques. Loan words are words taken directly from the language i.e. tattoo, sushi, guillotine. Calques are words literally translated from the language before being borrowed i.e. beer garden, scapegoat, killer whale (incorrectly calqued, the original actually means whale killer which is a whole other post).

Did anyone notice the fun thing?

Loan word is a calque (German lehnwort lit. Loan+word) and calque is a loan word (French calque - tracing or imitation). Have a good day!

Friends are like Trees 🌳

My good friend Kier gave me this advice awhile back, and it's helped me immensely to cope with my abandonment issues. I took the time to make this quick little comic in hopes that this advice will help others as it helped me. 🖤

TRÉASURE…

Trayjure (ah!)

The pirates’ trayjure (oo!)

My grandmother always said "pleasure" like this and she said it way more often than, like, a normal person "it gives me lots of playjure when you come visit me" "people get playjure out of seeing their friends" "these cookies are something that brings me playjure" she had very few annoying traits and this was the top 😂
