It is indeed one of the most striking magazine covers I’ve ever laid eyes on…
As if Duolingo has room to talk about unnatural sounding language. Didn’t click to watch it, but I hope folks in the comments enlightened the company.
Didn’t expect Qifrey to wear an actual 90’s Teacher Jumper©️but here he is.
They fall in one of two categories, or maybe both. 1) Had such a great story and dub that it made me want to become a translator and also do ADR writing for TV and movies and/or 2) Made me realize —slowly— that I’m a trans, gay man
One specific episode of Sesame Street, this book, and then my high school offering Japanese as an elective but not Chinese.
Even older. On a related note, it can be argued that “camp” as concept, albeit ambiguously defined, originated in England’s elite secondary schools like Eton. So next time you hear a Brit say something nasty about drag, remind them their upper crust invented it in high school.
Really, NYT? Like he was some universally loved and respected figure? Have some respect.
This fanart is now old enough to drink. If you can recall when it was new and all over Myspace and Livejournal, don’t forget to schedule your mammogram or prostate exam for this year.

An unexpected but relatable author’s note at the beginning of a fanfic. Surely I’m not the only one who’s gotten a brainworm while either unemployed or employed in a miserable job.
My weak point is a relationship between Character A who’s outwardly happy go lucky and friendly but is actually very fucked up and Character B who’s outwardly an absolute bastard but is Sad Broken and Needs a Hug inside.
If you see this, post a monster. The Jersey Devil, my favorite American yokai.
