Bonus

someone needs to make cocaine version of Love For Love's Sake so that whenever i'm feeling down i could snort a line and get high on that feeling of beauty and love and healing

when you're a time traveler but you had to travel back to the present because the doctors were shit back then

You know you've fucked up when you go to a doctor and the thing you have wrong with you has been named after an occupation that isn't a thing anymore. Like imagine a doctor looking at you and going "yeah you've got ox-drawn ploughman's disease. We don't even test for that anymore. Yeah the reason you've never heard of it is because the last known case was in 1927 and happened to some guy who was like 98 years old and didn't believe in modern medicine of the time. What the fuck have you been up to."

is this about Matilda or me 

nobody tears through library books quite as fast as a 12 yr old girl with no friends

Honestly it's so weird that starkid doesn't get more acknowledgement and appreciation for basically inventing Harry Potter. Like this Joanne lady just wrote some fanfiction about the very potter series and suddenly she gets all the credit.

“Bilingualism strikes me as a kind of synesthesia. Instead of seeing colors associated with letters and words, instead of hearing melodies, what I hear with language is the play and echo of the other language. The option to say it differently, and thus to live it differently. Language is not only a means of communication or description. It’s a framework in which we process existence. Yi writes: “It is hard to feel in an adopted language, yet it is impossible in my native language.” As every bilingual person and translator knows, there are certain words—a feeling, a way of being—that is absent in one language but perfectly brought to life in another. A word that, by existing, gives permission to be. What if you need that which does not exist in your language?”
