people are always scared of the fact that chinese has no spaces but like 90% of the words are 2 characters so its not really needed. especially since most of the words that arent 2 characters are grammatical markers or very basic words that youll learn super early anyways

people dont take into consideration how their eyebrows will look when they buy glasses and its driving me crazy. either they should sit under your eyebrows or they should be large enough that the frame is completely above. in any case the brows and frame should never overlap!!!

c'est tout con mais ils se permettent plus facilement de me remettre en question quand on est en tutoiement, et il me semble plus important de renforcer cet esprit critique pour construire un vrai respect mutuel que de maintenir une illusion de respect par convention linguistique

en vrai le tutoiement mutuel avec les étudiants ça marche plutôt bien. j'étais en vouvoiement mutuel depuis le début de ma carrière et en vrai je trouve ça de plus en plus artificiel, et le truc asymétrique où le prof tutoie mais les étudiants vouvoient je déteste

bad news were now at the point where my college students are genuinely struggling with the notion that i was born in the 20th century. good news they still compliment my fits every week so at least i look good while being old

theres a gas outage in my city so we dont have any hot running water atm, im gonna have to heat up a pot of water to bathe like when i was a kid and we were super poor. its weird how the human brain can romanticise anything because why am i kinda excited about this?

the 4 semester media studies and literary research classes i give to my documentation science students are 260h of carefully deconstructing the notion that neutrality in anything can ever exist. i love it so much.
