I'm doing art fight again this year! lots of new characters this year
I love the term “loanwords” because it implies that you intend to give them back.
*dumps a box full of words on French’s front porch* You never came back for your shit.
Loanwords, loaned to the British Museum so
Would everyone like to know the best thing??? There are two types of borrowed word - loan words and calques. Loan words are words taken directly from the language i.e. tattoo, sushi, guillotine. Calques are words literally translated from the language before being borrowed i.e. beer garden, scapegoat, killer whale (incorrectly calqued, the original actually means whale killer which is a whole other post).
Did anyone notice the fun thing?
Loan word is a calque (German lehnwort lit. Loan+word) and calque is a loan word (French calque - tracing or imitation). Have a good day!
it should deeply disturb all of us (trans or otherwise) that a cis black woman was killed for the suspicion of being trans. That is the world we are living in. Trans women of color are killed every day, and now, cis women of color who are even suspected of being trans are facing the same threat. It's terrifying to think that this just happened and I suspect it won't be the last time. I've heard many a story of cis women being harassed for their "appearing trans", and it's so heartbreaking and infuriating. Please just look out for each other.
This site's tolerance and acquiescence to incest is so fucking insane like "I don't support it but my mutual is cool so I'll allow it" "richard siken's artistic contributions to society absolve him" "ethel cain can ship whatever, she's earned it" like I'm not going to lie to you it's kinda looking like you do support it...
this post is perfect because it hits that sweet spot of being able to destroy my notifications with pissed off people forever BUT also being controversial enough that people who agree with this won't reblog it either so it's never breaching containment and I live in peace
it is however totally okay to reblog btw
"Butch women being treated poorly is evidence of anti masculinity" that is literally misogyny. It's just misogyny. Women being hated for being masculine is part and parcel of the misogynistic systems of domination that keep women oppressed.

[image description: a digital drawing of two original characters, Aeris Kotova and Mirtilo Urtica fighting. Aeris is a cis white woman with long, messy brown hair and violet-blue eyes. She wears a pink headband with rabbit-ear knot, brown hoodie with a pink heart and black pants. Mirtilo is a nonbinary brown-skinned Black man with freckles, dark curly shoulder-length hair and dark brown eyes. It wears a pink beanie with green and blue pompons, indigo-blue jumper shirt with a design of teal squares, black clam-digger pants and pink socks. Both characters' faces are bruised and bleeding. Mirtilo squats and grabs Aeris by the collar as a twisted smile crosses its face and they threaten to punch her face with an already bloody fist. Aeris sits on the ground, furious expression as she grips Mirtilo by the forearm that grabs onto her hoodie. Background appears to be a sunset or sunrise. /end image description]
