just learned a fun fact: so the kerb stones near the hague court have the word "peace" inscribed on them in different languages, right?
well, they have a ukrainian word there, too.
except it does not mean "peace".
світ in ukrainian means "world".
and why did this oversight happen? well, you see, the words for "peace" and "world" are homographs (мир).... in russian. but not in ukrainian (мир and світ respectively).
translating from english (or french, or dutch, or belarusian, or most languages, really) into ukrainian won't lead you to "світ". translating from russian might.
so the person tasked with selecting the ukrainian word was obviously translating from russian, and picked the wrong word without doing a 2 minutes dictionary search to see if there was any difference.
and, since in the eyes of the west anyone with expertise in russia must automatically be a credible source on ukraine, there's the inscription, sitting nice and proud out there.
An archivist found a long forgotten 8mm film reel in an old metal box, marked "Philippines 1942". Thinking it was lost WWII footage, he sent it in to be restored/digitized. When he got the footage back, he found puppies instead (via)
i dont know exactly how to articulate this in a way other people havent but everything is too fast now. 24/7 news cycle, online focuses that last for hours instead of months or years, songs written just so ten seconds can go viral. movies and books churned out to meet some nebulous income quota. idk. im motion sick
I hate the concept of glow ups. comparing old pictures of you from your childhood to your current self and talking shit about the way you used to look is cruel. you were a child. capitalism and the beauty industry have literally turned you against your own fucking self. I promise you didn't look ugly and cringe. kids and teenagers are supposed to look like that. protect your innocence do not let fucking influencers suck the soul outta you.
