Ok But The Mandela Effect Is Like So Fake. There Is One Actual Example Of This With Nelson Mandela Himself

Ooh I've done this too. Some of the ways we had people lying down instead of injury (though im pretty sure we had that too) were basking in the sun on a deck chair, swimming (we obviously didnt have actual water so swimming was done laying down), backing off in fear I think??

If i recall it used to be the hardest to justify someone sitting down constantly (or transitioning from sitting to laying down), but that then makes those the most fruitful for the improv.

Today my students were playing a theatre game called "Sit, Stand, Lie Down" (it is known by other, similar names elsewhere) where characters must perform a scene where someone must always be standing, someone else must be sitting, and someone else must be lying down.

So if a character begins the scene sitting, but then stands, the standing character must sit so every position is filled.

Today there were a few scenes where the way characters would choose "lie down" was always injury. "Oh ow I sprained my ankle," "I tripped on this big rock" etc. and a challenged them to show me a scene where nobody got hurt.

VERY next scene they improvised a cursed mummy's tomb where the curse was somebody always had to be laying down, so if the mummy arose from his sarcophagus, somebody else was cursed to lie down instead.

4) from what I've learned from all the queer spaces I've been in, the boxes dont actually exist and the best spaces are the ones that dont put you into a box, and you kind of forget that the boxes exist in the first place. Straight is just another sexuality, and a queer space that doesnt make a divide between cishet and queer people feels usually the most comfortable. Just people facing each other as people, not as members of a gender or a sexuality.

Now that I read this again it doesnt actually read like an added point to this list, more just me dumping my thoughts. I kinda like it that way.

I'm kind of at a point where the "queer spaces" i feel safest in are the ones that have a pet cishet dude or two hanging around

This is also my opinion on gender

There's something about atheism that I've repeatedly tried and failed to put into words on several posts on this blog but I think I finally got it.

Atheists are the only religious minority who, even (or sometimes even *especially*) in ostensibly progressive spaces are not allowed to ever act like they're sure of their beliefs.

She's got her tongue sticking out she's so derpy

She's so cunty, but is your transit network as cunty as this???

Luin ton uutisen ja siellä kokoajan puhuttiin jotain et "Mutta tämä ratkaisu ei nyt ollutkaan oikea", siis mihin ratkaisu, mitä tää edes yrittää ratkaista??

Tai siis siinä jutussa kerran mainittiin et arkkitehdillä oli visio et ne välitilat minkä läpi käveltäis olis ryhmätöille nii läpi kävely ei haittais mut käytävät kirjaimellisesti ajaa samaa virkaa??? Ja vielä paremmin????

Siis ylipäätään aivan järjetön idea, ihan kun kenellekään sitä enää tarvis sanoa.

Kontekstina alkuperäinen uutinen, joka toimii ihan jo itsessään meeminä:

I'm gonna add to this with some additions that are missing currently.

Haloo Helsinki is like the peak of finnish pop-rock currently. They have an amazing catalogue of complete bangers, that I feel have quite rich language as well.

PMMP is one of the most iconic finnish pop bands ever. They sold out multiple arenas after not making music or touring for a decade. Incredibly high quality music with really deep lyricism. They also sing really clearly most of the time so it should be pretty good for learning the language.

Gonna also give a mention to Happoradio, CMX, and Apulanta, which are all great finnish rock bands.

Do you have any good Finnish song recommendations? I'm wanting to learn Finnish and listening to songs in a language helps me learn faster. Love your blog by the way

Terve! Kiva, että pidät blogista. :)

Thinking of just lyrics, I think Zen Café, Happoradio, Arttu Wiskari, and Johanna Kurkela have some pretty interesting ones. Leevi and the Leavings from the previous ask, too. Juice Leskinen, Irwin Goodman.

Honestly, it also depends on what kind of music you like.

Perhaps my followers could share some of their favourite Finnish language music? I honestly know nothing about today's popular music in Finland.

For a learner, I would advise focusing on lyrics in kirjakieli (grammatically correct standard Finnish) or yleiskieli (spoken Finnish close to kirjakieli) rather than anything in obvious puhekieli (spoken Finnish dialects which can be pretty different from standard Finnish).

I woke up with a cold the next day

To me, one of the core finland experiences is walking a long ass distance in the dead of night in freezing temperatures, on a quest to find the nearest bus stop that actually runs this late.

Just did that (still like 40 minutes away from home, but in the relatively warm bus now (bus also an integral part of the experience)) and I haven't felt more finnish in a while.

Im trying to get somewhere but my cat just decided to snuggle up against me.

... I guess im not going

Before I knew what istg actually meant, I tried to decipher it by using the first words that I came up with that fit the thing.

What I came up with:

I shit the gay

Imagine a world where, if you deadname someone, you legally have to change your own name to that name.

Possibly a better world than our own...

A while back my pharmacist saw my deadname on my profile and accidentially called it out, he corrected and deleted my deadname from the system so only my preferred name shows up now. There was a crowd of people behind me, so as he hands over the pills he apologized, in equal tone and volume as when he called my deadname and lied saying it's been a long day and he didn't mean to call out -his own- name. I quietly told him it was fine and he didn't need to do that for my sake.

His response: "No, it's my name now."

I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he's immigrating and in the process he's changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That's why he's now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: "It's mine now. Not yours. I'm taking." His tone indicated that decision is final.

Bro literally deadnamed me once, and has committed to flat out stealing my deadname. It's his now. Legally. Officially. I over heard his co-workers call him by the name.
