manhating-babyeater:

Men, are you worried for your own safety because misandry?

You need to accept that misandry happens in the real world and take some precautions.

I’M SO ANGRY

SOME 16TH CENTURY ASSHOLE WROTE “GOD B W YE” IN A LETTER AS AN ABBREVIATION FOR “GOD BE WITH YE”

AND IT APPEARED AS “GODBWYE”

WHICH WAS THEN READ AS “GOODBYE”

AND THAT’S WHY WE SAY “GOODBYE”

BECAUSE OF 16TH CENTURY CHAT SPEAK

You know what? I’m going to do an experiment.

I’m going to leave this track here, completely unmarked, and tag it with everything I can. If you like it, reblog it, give it some notes. If you don’t, ignore it and move on with your life. I’ll tag it with a bunch of fandoms, so people can hear it.

Just out of curiosity. Press play and see what happens.

I’ll give you one hint: I consider it beautiful.

I am trying to find an online/PDF version of the Arabic text of One Thousand and One Nights, so that I can find out what “I have heard, O auspicious king” is in Arabic because of personal curiosity. I want to know if it is the same phrase over and over like it is in my English translation.

BUT FINDING AN ARABIC TEXT OF ARABIAN NIGHTS IS SO HARD, LET ME TELL YOU.

"You need to learn cursive because you’ll be using it all the time when you get older."

Everyone responsible for my trust issues. (via kamidoodles)

NO. FUCK EVERYONE. I LOVE CURSIVE AND I DO USE IT ALL THE TIME. ughhhhhh it’s not even taught in schools in this state any more and that

is

sad

When I was substitute teaching an English class for seniors in High School, I wrote the instructions for the day in cursive. 90% of the students couldn’t read it so I had to break them into groups and teach remedial cursive. It broke my heart and frightened me a little. Especially since all my students in Japan (Middle School) had almost flawless cursive.

(via isolationary)

How unsurprising and sad. This both breaks my heart and frightens me a little, too.

(via zombizombi)

Who caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaares.  IT’S USELESS.  IT’S OBSOLETE.  THERE IS NO FUCKING REASON TO LEARN IT ANYMORE.  ANYTHING THAT MIGHT BE GAINED FROM LEARNING CURSIVE (if you could tell me what that might be without falling back on really tired, intellectual elitist tropes, I will be amazed) COULD EASILY BE LEARNED THROUGH SOME OTHER METHOD.

I mean for fuck’s sake you sound like hand-wringing 1950s parents worried over the state of Kids These Days.  Is that the kind of person you want to be?

(via notcuddles)

Also cursive is extremely difficult for people with certain kinds of learning disabilities — when kids are pressured to learn it, it becomes another way the ~good~ ~normal~ kids end up being placed above the ~losers~

I know this; I had to do cursive practice plenty in school and I still can’t read it most of the time or write in it. it just doesn’t click for some people.

srsly, writing instructions on the board in cursive is like deliberately fucking over some of your students who might never be able to read that as well as others. for no good reason, really.

ooooh let’s do it in code shall we! for no discernible reason except elitism. so only the ~superior~ children can read it

-_-

While I do wish my handwriting was neater, I distinctly remember everyone in my class cheering when we reached the grade level where we would no longer be required to write all in cursive. I also distinctly remember how I was unable to finish an essay on a state exam because I had to write it in cursive, and I was grateful when I could complete tests without having to do that.

(via madamedevideoland)

Writing in cursive may not be necessary, but reading it is for anyone interested in history. One day, instead of just being able to read cursive, history majors will just take some kind of handwriting class to be able to read these “outdated” and “obsolete” handwriting styles that everyone used to use 30, 50, 100 years ago, because that’s the only way we can connect with archived historical documents.

My day went non-stop from 7 am til almost 9 pm. Up at 5:30, work 7-3, 30 min commute home, then work 4-8, followed by run from 8:30-8:50. I’m pooped.

Now it’s time to unwind with my daily dose of Arabic and a couple episodes of Top of the Lake and/or Teen Wolf. And then lots of bedtime.

The music of Forrest Gump doesn’t merely serve as the background filler to the movie, rather, it enhances it, and helps the viewer further get a glimpse and taste the era Forrest finds himself in. The twang of the guitar in Duane Eddy’s Rebel Rouser  takes us down to the Deep South in a time it brimmed with racial segregation and discrimination, while Jefferson Airplane’s Volunteers successfully strums up the vehement feelings of the late 60’s. Even though it is a diverse selection of music from a very eventful time in American, and world, history, the soundtrack of Forrest Gump somehow comes together perfectly, and, without feeling like a jumbled oldies station, further cements the brilliance of the movie.

I AM SORRY BUT THIS IS WHY I AM EMBARRASSED TO BE AN AMERICAN. IF A HIJAB THAT DORNS THE AMERICAN FLAG PATTERN IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BUT SKIMPY ASS BIKINIS OR WEARING THE FUCKING ACTUAL FLAG IS ACCEPTABLE, JUST BECAUSE THE PERSON IS WHITE, I WANT TO FUCKING THROW UP.

(I don’t have a thing against Audrey Kitching, she was just merely and example). 

But this fucking disgusts me right here. It makes me want to say, fuck this country and its racism and double standards. 

wow
