#especially in the cities

[averwonders]

It's about time people need to stop thinking of dialects and accents (especially minority and rural ones) as a judging factor or something to mock. People shouldn't have to feel ashamed, humiliated, insecure or fear of being judged for having a hint of their native dialect/accent while speaking the standard version of a language or even speaking in them completely at a new place.

#I'm tired of the mistreatment dialects and accents get #especially in the cities #like just cause a person is speaking in an accent they become backwards or illiterate? #how stupid is that #we need to embrace our dialects and accents #we need to give them the respect they deserve #this is me crying over the fact that i never learnt to speak my native dialect cause i grew up in different cities and got mixed vocab #although i can understand it cause everyone else in my family speaks it #awadhi my beloved #aver does shit post #dialects #accents #linguistics #desiblr #why are asian societies so judging ㅠㅠ #it's so sad to see dialects and accents being in the list of things that make people feel insecure #someone's accent isn't something to joke about or mock #it isn't cool to find accents entertaining to laugh at #having accents doesn't make someone an alien for you to judge

There’s plenty of interesting stuff in the games about the mental health ramifications of Fallout’s setting but considering the fact that so much of the gameplay is based around consuming dusty ass, century-old, likely irradiated boxed/canned goods there must be an outright pandemic of contamination OCD in the wasteland

This might seem like an "old man yells at cloud" situation, but it's just wild growing up and being told how dangerous distracted driving is - how, at highway speeds, you can traverse the length of a football field (100 yards, 91 meters) in a matter of seconds - how one split second sending a text while driving could result in a potential fatal crash, and then getting on the road as a driver and being surrounded by billboards. Their entire purpose is to catch one's attention, so they're lining major roads, which tend to be highways. How is it that you're told how important it is to never be distracted while driving, but still being advertised to?

At best, this type of advertising is an eyesore to pedestrians and motorists and a general waste of electricity to light it, and at worst, it is an active danger considering they are there to advertise and therefore, must catch people's attention.

I'm not even against advertising in theory, but this particular mode bothers me so much and I hate how pervasive it is - especially in large cities or highways.

#politics #i don't know much about são paulo banning marketing billboards but on paper i want that here in the USA #as a motorist it at best just makes me more anxious driving in those larger cities because i want to FOCUS ON THE ROAD #and passing 5000 billboards per mile isn't helping actually! #i've gotten good at filtering that out of my FOV but it's still fucking exhausting lol #i especially hate those modern electric billboards. despise them actually #i am aware that advertising is a critical aspect to business management in some cases... #...but it shouldn't risk the safety of the populous for you to advertise to them and i see things like billboards as risking safety... #...i feel similarly about online advertising in that so much of it risks internet user's safety... #...such as flashing ads online which risk triggering epileptic seizures in light/photo-sensitive folks #distracted driving (texting): NO >:( || distracted driving (being advertised to): YAYYYY :D #i've been driving on my own for a few years now and i've been thinking about this for ENTIRELY too long

Noatak running errands in civilian disguise I made for him <3

#my art #legend of korra #tlok #noatak #amon #i imagine he’d have no problem going around the city as himself since literally no one knows who he is #Tarrlok definitely would not recognise him #the last time he saw him he was 14 like there’s no way #I have so many hcs….. #I like to think rain annoys him especially when it starts unexpectedly #he hates using waterbending but he also doesn’t wanna get wet #I suck at drawing water I need to practice more 🙈

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #jin ling #jin chan #Yeah that's right. This guy is a named character. All those nameless disciples in the yi city arc and *this* guy gets a name. #Jin ling finally gets his much needed outfit upgrade! Rest in peace double straps. #I adore how we get to keep learning about Jin Ling and peeling back the layers on him...It's also so sad to see him so alone and friendless #especially knowing he really was starting to build peer friendships in the yi city arc... #Jin ling really is one of my top 5 characters in MDZS and its absolutely in part because of how you can *see* how he ended up this way #and we watch him learn and grow! He's doing what most adults refuse to do: Consider that his opinions are skewed and need to change. #You are NOT immune to propaganda and I adore characters who reflect and struggle with that! #Just because someone with assumed authority says something that fits into what you want to be true does not make it true B*/ #In this series about rumours and warped perspectives - Jin Ling is a great example of how hard you have to work for the truth #+1 points of friendship with jin ling: He will self correct himself if he says a slur now

catfish moon, lives in large river (and spends winter in underground rivers that were built over cause its warmer)

he's chill, mostly, although he has no qualms against eating practically anything, including human corpses drowned in river.

he usually doesnt pay attention to humans but this particular one is just very confusing because fishing for trash instead of fish is some next level of tomfoolery.

he wears "nightcap" to cover old head injury.

one of the things I think a lot of goyim esp western based don’t clock about Jews is that a lot of the places we lived before mass immigration to the US&west and the creation of the state of Israel not only often pretty violently killed or expelled us, but were and are sights of continual warfare and dislocation that was and continued to be fucked up by external and internal conflict, by the direct actions of the British ottoman French American and Russian imperialisms….. Jews only became a “western” people through the acts of violent dislocations from our homelands we’d often lived in for hundreds and thousands of years.

We lived in Afghanistan. We lived in Yemen. We lived in Iraq. We lived in Serbia. We lived in Bosnia & Herzegovina. We lived in Belarus. We lived in Ethiopia. We lived in Algeria. We lived in Morocco. We lived in Syria. We lived in Iran. We lived in Kurdistan. And we lived in Ukraine. We often have complicated histories with these places, varying extents to which we identified with them or with the nationalisms that drew their borders, but we lived there, and in so many ways, from our language to stories to food, we carry them with us and are hurt by the loss of their memory in our lives, pushed into the diaspora of the diaspora. None of this justifies the often profoundly violent antisemitisms we found there, nor should it allow for simple rounds of flag waving - our communities were almost always older than the modern states, and many institutionalized Jewishness as something irreconcilable from the modern National Citizen. But we lived there. Inextricably we are a part of their history, just as they are a part of us.

Any simplistic takes about how Israeli jews should just LEAVE AND GO HOME without understanding the contexts of why that isn’t possible not only whitewashes histories of violent antisemitism but also the CURRENT ongoing realities in many of the countries we lived in, and it comes off not only as callous to Jews but to the people who continue to live there, after our links were severed. Any antizionism that doesn’t seriously reckon with these histories is incomplete. “Why don’t you go back to where you came from?” The American goy asks. I think of my friends and community. To Odessa? Or to Baghdad? To Aleppo? Or to Herat? YOU TELL ME.

#Seeing Syria and Ukraine brought in as a check me for IS Jews is wild in terms of where do you think we’re from #And also why might people not be able to go back this very minute??? #The antisemitism ALOnE is bad enough but there are yet MORE REASOns #Anyway it’s just yeah. Watching the news. We used to live there! #Sarajevo and Baghdad and Aleppo and Damascus #And Kyiv but Odessa especially …. At different times these cities have been really important to Jews! We were there!

I am guessing that Alpine’s paws never touch the ground unless they have to. Going out with Bucky? In his jacket. Hanging out at home? In his arms. He’s getting her food? He lifts her onto the windowsill with her food bowl so she can see the skyline. Going to sleep? Bucky is carrying her to his bed. That cat is spoiled and Bucky has no intention of stopping.

guillermo del toro’s pinocchio is living in MY heart.....

#pinocchio #illustration #cottagecore #del toro pinocchio #its tea times #OBSESSED with this movie but especially the first section where both gepetto and pinocchio are kind of unhinged #pinocchio is like a deranged little creature. instills genuine fear in the heart at first encounter. i lovb him #i bothered my friends into watching with me in theatres #explained so many times......we r watching pinocchio (del toro) ((NOT fruity)) #and Yet.......every single one of them came up at sm point after the movie privately to tell me how pleased they were that #it was Normal and good #for the record i will be subjecting them to marathon of all other 2022 pinocchio incarnations over the holidays #where it will be FREE to witness their resignation in well lit environment #getting to this viewing was like unstoppable force (freak snowstorm) vs immovable object (our dedication to half price movie tuesdays) #with special guest appearance of our city flopping belly up whenever we get 0.5cm of snow cover

I cannot tell you how much I need a canon Sokeefe scene where Sophie sees him, slaps him across the face, and then kisses him full on the mouth

#it has to happen guys #he makes such bad choices and she gets mad at him but I need this scene #especially if he’s run away to be stupid again #and the first time she sees him in months #she just stalks up to him #slap #kiss #kotlc #keeper of the lost cities #keefe sencen #sophie foster #Sokeefe
