we talked to an immigration attorney to relocate to Canada and he verbatim said we would not be welcomed in Quebec as residents, only as tourists and to forget about it entirely so my purpose for learning French is gone but I feel like I’ve made enough progress to not ditch it 😭

russian being my first language class of the year was not on my 2026 bingo card but here we are

B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

The French word ‘employer’ (to emploi) has the same origin as ‘impliquer’ (to imply).

The former was inherited from Latin, while the latter was borrowed from it later.

They’re called doublets.

Stay tuned for doublets in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Catalan, Galician, Dutch and English.

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes.

I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

ok just got off the phone with an immigration attorney and he said don’t even bother trying to get into Quebec 😭

noted thank you for your honesty 🫡 maybe I’ll continue French but less intensely

tive uma outra aula com um novo tutor e foi muito divertida 💃 ele é estudante de medicina então ele sabe sobre meu profissão e a gente falou sobre o laboratório

voltei a estudar idiomas depois de uma longa pausa 🇧🇷🇫🇷

Today learnt that sea squirts attach themselves to a rock and then dissolve their own brains.

When I grow up, I want to be a sea squirt.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

Turning 30 is actually not bad because you actually spiritually turn 30 at age 27. By the time you hit 30, you've already been 30 for three years.

going to start calling myself a centrist and then listing all my leftist views as proof, just going to start moving the overton window by force

i can’t believe all it took for tesla stock to recover a bit was to do a paid photo op with the president of the united states, have the government designate vandalism on teslas as terrorism, gift multiple politicians and police stations teslas for photo ops, and get corrupt government contracts
