@guerrillarain Cursive. It's how we are taught in school in France. But most people of my age seems to have switched to non-cursive after leaving elementary school.

@guerrillarain I did the cursive in school for a while, then I stopped.. never done it again

A fun thing about learning Japanese is that you learn that 字　sort of means letter and is pronounced "ji".

Then you learn that 文 written next
to it makes 文字 which also sort of means letter and is read "moji".

Then you learn that 絵 means drawing and is pronounced "e".

Then you learn that 絵文字 is emoji and you get completely floored.

@guerrillarain If you ain’t writing cursive, you ain’t writing.

@guerrillarain I learned cursive but never use it, even though I've gotten into fountain pens. The Greek alphabet is more important to me than cursive letters, by far.

The straights are at it again

@guerrillarain I was taught cursive but I wouldn’t say I learned it...

@guerrillarain I like cursive at the moment because of my renewed love for fountain pens. they are just begging for cursive!

One evening, a portal to hell opens at the foot of your bed. A demon strides through, rips off your covers, and begins to drag you through the portal by your ankles saying “You’re going to help me settle a bet.”

@guerrillarain I’ve seen ppl on tumblr complain about AO3 allowing ‘problematic!’ Fanfic content in exactly the same way like, tumblr has the same content rules.

I think it’s cause folks see the thing they’re familiar with as less scary or dangerous? I think this is true for a lot of stuff though

I really hate when folks say something "begs the question" when it raises a question or simply has implications the author/speaker wants to explore.

'Begging the question' is a fallacy, and not a moment when one notices the implications of some happening.

Oink oink motherfucker, i know you saw my ACAB patch in the lobby

@guerrillarain Yeah, sorry, I know you're in the preached-to choir. I remember seeing those Twitter screenshots with big circles around the legalese and I was thinking... well... you know... what I just said.

@guerrillarain Not for Silicon Valley it isn't.

If it isn't the new shiny, it doesn't exist, and if it continues to exist despite their wishing it doesn't, it's inherently bad.
