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!!!

ouiii c'est ce que je vais faire à l'avenir maintenant que j'ai testé

i love getting into random situations

been doing some voice coaching at a stage theatre troupe lately and now ive kinda talked my way into being assistant director of their play lmao

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

my most played game regardless of platform must be final fantasy 14. i mustve put in like 1000h during covid.

its somewhat embarrassing that team fortress 2 is still my most played steam game at over 200h just bc i got really into it in high school

你和我能说汉语也我们不久说汉语了！

我重新学汉语了。我大学以后没学中文，但喜欢这门语言。

its hard not to be! u get all of ur parents issues w no filter or perspective. honestly being a kid isnt easy in hindsight

honestly i lowkirkuinely wish i had had such clarity of mind when i was her age

she says she wants to get a boyfriend who does all her chores so she can play video games all day she might grow up to become the most based woman to ever live

my niece said shes not sure whether she wants to be a mayor or a ninja when she grows up and i gotta say i respect her vision

if all goes according to plan in a couple weeks ill be able to add "language consultant for nato" to my cv

green and brown really work together nature was kinda cooking w trees

some guy just called me A Female idk how to react

oh yeah. did that after a deep clean of the kitchen yesterday and its even better than the bedroom id say

>hot water outage in my city
>have to wash my hair in cold water
>decide to skip the fancy conditioner for once
>hair ends up looking better than usual

i was told french people still use cash on a daily basis and i assume that must be the reason.

its crazy how people in france still dont use qr codes to pay. i had to give 25€ to my sister in law the other day and i had to type her whole ass bank account number to send it?? how do u guys live like this???

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?

im taking them to see a stage theatre adaption of murder on the orient express next month. its gonna be so good.

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.

i love patchouli so much......

living in a small medieval european city is so funny like i live 10 minutes away from uni on foot and i was still almost late to a class because i ran into three different people i know on the way

(they always swear they're over 6 feet tall)

its so funny when i'm in bars and boys who approach me go "oh wait i thought you were wearing heels" when my 5'10" ass is eye level with them
