Was explaining some gender things to a straight cis friend today vis a vis gender presentation VS gender identity when it suddenly dawned on me with much the same horror as getting to work and realizing you left the stove on, that unless you've been immersed in a queer culture for some time you'd have no way of knowing that appearing androgynous/indeterminate/wildly gender-nonconforming is HOT
Me, a shitty little Canadian, shopping in Canada: Okay. Last item is frozen strawberries. Yay
In the frozen department: [A series of plain white bags with red fruit on them, all flipped to the French side]
Me: Oh hell yeah c'est framboises
Me: (grabs two)
Me, arriving home with deux sacs ds frambois congelée, remembering I havent spoken fluent french in over 10 years: Ah. Mes fraisers
but what happens when we collectively reach the boop limit. What do they do to us
Remake of an older poll (link here)
Like last time I am using a strict definition of language and a loose definition of being able to speak/knowing the language.
Details:
Sign languages count, conlangs count, super similar languages only counts one & dialects of the same language usually won't count (unless you can make multiple sentences in both that someone who only spoke the other couldn't understand), for Norwegian being able to write both bokmål & nynorsk only counts as one
You need to know more than 30 words and be able to construct at least one sentence for it to count. it has to be at least one of the following: writing/signing/speaking/whistling, it doesn't have to be multiple.
(and for people with "sampling bias" concerns, this is not supposed to represent society as a whole)
Poll:
It's super cool if you put the languages in tags
current mood:
me @ whoever at netflix made that decision:
please do not ask me what my plans for the future are, im quite literally still not convinced that i am even a real person
Hmmmmm maybe I'll open it tomorrow..... maybe.... goblins do be goblin
Oh if only there were a way to tell a story without first having to find a proper way and words with which to tell said story
