Interesting. I grew up in india, English as my first language (heavily influenced by British English in school). Lived in Canada for nearly a decade, and watch a lot of US and UK television

Fries (French fries when I was younger), chips, scones, cookies/biscuits (depending on the shape and texture??), soda, candy, cigarettes, beanie, candy floss.

i'm conducting an experiment. everyone who's from an english speaking country state your country, regional area and what you call the following images. i need to see something

#i feel like I consciously chose to adhere to American ways even though I was more used to British #but tbh india has a lot of its own words #in Canada people say pop and call it a toque #which is weird

Right lol? Why did everyone in that thread just gloss over the fact that the guru is a racist caricature of Hindus created by white men? People also love to ignore all the south Asian influences in the ATLA world, including the word avatar itself and the concept of 4 elements

Finally a serious discussion about this episode 🙏

this is so important ‼️

Background art for Cinderella (1950) from the Walt Disney Animation Research Library

“Cinderella’s background paintings remind me of grand stage sets for a Viennese Operetta by Johann Strauss. Everything is exaggerated in order to enhance a dreamlike, sentimental mood. The movie was made on a shoestring budget, yet its visual presentation is opulent and luscious. You combine that with rich storytelling, and you get a classic for the ages.” - Andreas Deja

My father and the CEO are friends from university. I… benefited from nepotism. Don’t just let people walk all over you, you idiot. And stop acting pitiful saying you benefited from nepotism!

It was not right that you were left to guide Edwina alone. That was my failing. You were grieving Appa. But so were you. And after you had already lost your mother too. Kate…

Currently applying for jobs and I feel this so deeply I want to cry

Applying for jobs is a hell designed specifically to torment autistic people. Here is a well-paying task which you know in your heart and soul if they just gave you a desk and left you alone and allowed you to do it you would sit there and be more focused and enthusiastic and excellent at it than anyone else in the building. However, before they allow you to perform the task, you must pass through 3-4 opaque social crucibles where you must wear uncomfortable clothes and make eye contact while everyone expects you to lie, but not too much (no one is ever clear exactly how much lying is expected, “over” honesty is however penalized). You are being judged almost entirely on how well you understand these very specific and unclear rules that no one has explained. None of this has anything to do with your ability to perform the desired task.

rereading my own writing is just a constant fluctuation between "damn, girl, you wrote this? (affectionate)" and "damn, girl, you wrote this? (derogatory)"
