Since the Chappell Roan hype is going on with her country inspired single The Giver I had to share with y’all some really cool vintage Gay Rodeo posters and program covers

Utterly blown away with how gorgeous the art is on these! Tempted to print them out just to have on the wall, the second to last marbled one I just want to get lost in

The handrail at Schwaebisch Hall, Germany by Karl-Henning Seemann

Handrail….

Karl-Henning Seemann (1934 – 2023) was a German sculptor and draftsman, who became known in particular for his sculptures and fountains in public spaces.

i hate when top wildlife predators are just lil babies teeny tiny babies

. that is a serial killer

My one friend group can't stop saying, "See you in hell!" in a cheerful voice instead of, "Talk to you later!" and my other friend group can't stop calling things "penis" instead of "cool" or "good", so I just unironically uttered the phrase, "Sounds penis, see you in hell," as I got off the phone.

I think everyone should be doing this btw. Maybe, "Sounds penis, see you in hell," could be our, "Always."

I tried to quote this post to my housemate the other day but botched it so said "nice cock, kill yourself" and now it's turned into a call and response so instead of saying goodbye one of us says nice cock and the other tells you to kill yourself

Yoooo cosa se potessi farmi i cazzi miei nella mia vita e con il mio corpo e non dovessi sublimare i fallimenti sociali di una nazione al collasso da quando è nata perché la classe politica è costantemente incapace di gestire le problematiche sostanziali che piagano il capitalismo?? Perché onestamente qua ho già le mie rotture di coglioni da dover gestire per tutta una serie di robe che non c'entrano nulla con la geopolitica e il siparietto dello spettacolo socioeconomico del tardocapitalismo e poter non pensare costantemente h24 che voglio ammazzarmi a causa di come il mio corpo è stato montato è un bene anche per chi siede in uno scranno schifoso al parlamento perché se me ne devo andare vi giuro che non me ne vado da sola, ecco.

so funny that humans imagined a creature that is like a human but bigger and called it a “giant”. that’s such an uncreative name. that’s just an adjective. “it’s a giant!” “a giant what?!” “a giant… um. yeah. giant.”

oh my god,,,, the word was originally used for the creature and not as an adjective,,,,, that’s even funnier *guy seeing something huge* wow! that’s roughly the size of one of those big creatures wouldn’t you say?

You know what I think is really cool about language (English in this case)? It’s the way you can express “I don’t know” without opening your mouth. All you have to do is hum a low note, a high note, then another lower note. The same goes for yes and no. Does anyone know what this is called?

These are called vocables, a form of non-lexical utterance - that is, wordlike sounds that aren’t strictly words, have flexible meaning depending on context, and reflect the speakers emotional reaction to the context rather than stating something specific. They also include uh-oh! (that’s not good!), uh-huh and mm-hmm (yes), uhn-uhn (no), huh? (what?), huh… (oh, I see…), hmmn… (I wonder… / maybe…), awww! (that’s cute!), aww… (darn it…), um? (excuse me; that doesn’t seem right?), ugh and guh (expressions of alarm, disgust, or sympathy toward somebody else’s displeasure or distress), etc.

Every natural human language has at least a few vocables in it, and filler words like “um” and “erm” are also part of this overall class of utterances. Technically “vocable” itself refers to a wider category of utterances, but these types of sounds are the ones most frequently being referred to, when the word is used.
