Hi, I'm Sam! I take society's norms, acknowledge them, and throw them to the side in favour of less socially-tasteful ideals.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
You guys like Cinderella’s new makeover? I like her hat
There’s a snake in my glass slipper.
these comments speak to me on a personal level
Unnecessary “fillers” in our speech. I’d rather have “like” than up-talking, though (if we had to choose one, that is). Ewwww, up-talking. Then again, a combination of the two would render me homicidal maniac.
yes, colloquial speech is stupid
discourse particles are stupid
quotative particles are stupid
fillers are stupid
lower registers of speech = stupid!!!!!!woah aaa/
Like, did you ever notice? That, like, the speech patterns people, like, think are stupid? Are, like, commonly associated with, like, women?
And, like, there’s this thing? Where, like, women aren’t supposed to be, like, assertive? So they, like, qualify their speech? Because, like, we’re not supposed to, like, stand by our opinions?
1) humiliate women so they don’t feel qualified to speak authoritatively about anything
2) humiliate women for speaking in such a way that reflects how you treat her
3) laugh, you are superior because you don’t use words like “like.” It isn’t as if being a huge stupid asshole has ever made you worse than a woman who speaks with verbal tics.
Holy shit
Principle of Linguistic Subordination in action. All language varieties are expressively equal, but the linguistic features associated with a socially subordinate group get popularly interpreted as deficits (an interpretation which in turn is used to justify the group’s existing subordination). So think very critically before you mock someone’s language, and consider what ugliness you might be perpetuating with your comments.
Me: oh thats cute
: *checks price tag*
Me: no its not
So, this happened.
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT
The Maned Wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) isn’t actually a wolf, (or a fox, wolf, coyote, dog or jackal) but rather a distant canid, close to foxes. Its believed that its the only survivor of the late Pleistocene extinction. It is found in the grass lands of South America.
IT LOOKS LIKE A DEER BRED WITH A FOX
Maned wolves are so cuuuuuute
A deer, a hyena and a fox walk into a club
I swear to god this is the thing I saw in my yard that one time. Sounds a bit improbable considering it’s found in South America, but this is the closest I’ve ever seen.
