My brother is bad at spelling and makes tons of typos. It looks like a secret twin language when he texts.
making myself mad by reading the New York Times real estate section
why are mouth sounds so repulsive why was I taught manners all it does is make me think less of people because they're fucking disgusting
Lemmy this, lemmy that,
How about you lemmy alone, huh?
Okay this guy is just fucking with me now. He just googled "When was 9/11?"
From midnight to 6am last night I was sweating profusely for no apparent reason, no matter what I did, and spent the time in a really intense fever dream that was one of the more unpleasant in recent memory
And then it just stopped and I went to sleep. And then I got up today and feel.... not really any worse off than usual. What da fuck
Wife's old friend posted a deranged transphobic political cartoon on facebook and it made me log into the website for the first time in years and immediately get unfriended after arguing with someone in the comments for 5 minutes.
People like her are actively trying to make the world worse for my kid and I won't fucking stand for it. Before i had the baby I will be honest I'd let a lot of stuff slide because honestly I have the privilege of doing so and it was easier. Now it's like any little thing I don't push back on is affecting the world they'll grow up in.
Recently been worried that having a child would make me less useful to any communist cause but it appears it's already made me more useful
Fitgirl is repacking starfield whooooooo
A blaffair to rememblack
Can you recommend a method for get better at writing or learning how to go about writing in a way that helps to improve my skill? I am fairly decent at understanding what I like about a book theme-wise and depiction of character wise, i pick up the obvious signs of a skillful use of language etc, when it's a generally well-written book, like Handmaid's Tale bores me to tears (besides disagreeing on interpretation, somewhat out of contrarian spite for libs peddling it) but I still get why people see it as skillfully written.
But translating these observations into practice is still hard. tbf I don't aim for high-minded works. Do I just have to do it and write and get better by looking at the shit I produce?
I looked at the supposed hobby site, but it was just native english speakers that didn't really understand how present participles/gerund works while handing out angry-codescending grammer advice. I also don't love the general misery that seems to seep from writers' comunities
"He like feet, suck on this camel toe" is so fucking funny
I wore my tang ping t-shirt to the bakery this morning. The clerk said he liked it and then said Xi Xi Ping. I laughed. What should I wear next time?
Read a linked from here and someone asked why neighborhoods with all the same equipment couldn’t just share it (especially lawn mowers and power tools because who the fuck uses those every day)
Even the thought made people exceptionally mad lmao
Lmao the nuclear family brainworm strikes again. The past and future of human existence is communal. Advanced capitalism has shown itself to be so dysfunctional that it can no longer even reproduce the human race. We WILL be expropriating the exurban kkkulakkk lawn mowers.
Getting our first week of a heatwave starting this weekend. Summer has been cold and rainy otherwise.
"Chinese cartographic aggression". Learning that Indian political junkies are even bigger babies than American ones. It's a map get a grip.
Agent 47 you can't wear a women's maid outfit as a disguise. You'll have to find a male outfit because for some reason they all fit perfectly on you. Even the shoes.
But the skirt feels so breezy, I feel my tactical awareness and natural instincts will be heightened. And no one will call me out because they'll be too afraid I'll accuse them of a hate crime.
That's brilliant, 47, keep up the good work!
