OMFG THIS LIVE PERFORMANCE

I CAN'T EVEN BREATHE

it's so fucking cruel that Maggie is dead and I can never hear these harmonies in person. Not that I think I could handle them anyway

lmao @ the word ADVERTISING getting stuck in there by the lyrics website

I'm losin' you
Fading from view

Aging and aching and raging and faking I'm

Losin' you
Losin' true

Last time I saw you I wanted to paw you
Not to destroy you now I just annoy you I'm

Losin' to
Accusin' you

When I first met you I failed to get you
Now that I let you come through I forget who I'm

Losin' out
Cruisin' about

The night of shining armor doesn't do her any favors

Make no mistake when mystiquing a make I'm
ADVERTISING

Losin' you
Choosin' to

RIP Maggie Roche

this one'll kill ya too

goddamn Roches. I'm covered in goosebumps at my desk

If you go down to Hammond
you'll never come back
In my opinion you're
on the wrong track
We'll always love you but
that's not the point

If you go with that fella
forget about us
As far as I'm concerned
that would be just
throwing yourself away
not even trying
Come on you're lying to me

Well I went down to Hammond
I did as I pleased
I ain't the only one
who's got this disease

Why don't you face the fact
you old upstart
We fall apart

You'd be okay if you'd
just stay in school
Don't be a fool

Do your eyes have an answer
to this song of mine
They say we meet again
on down the line
Where is on down the line
how far away?
Tell me I'm OK

I dare you to listen to this and NOT get goosebumps and/or cry

some of the photographs and video I've seen of the island of Barbuda post-Irma are absolutely devastating. some 60+% of Barbudans are now homeless and their island is borderline uninhabitable. 90% of their buildings were destroyed

a few pictures of Savannah, if you're curious (I didn't take these, they're from Google)

This is really sad/scary because I've heard many times that Savannah is one of the most beautiful cities in the country. I hope everyone stays safe and it doesn't get destroyed :(

the Governor of Georgia has issued a mandatory evacuation for the city of Savannah and other coastal areas starting on Saturday

@alyx lmao, misogynist word salad

I've been copying this super long article on Thai codaphrases into my language notebook for literally weeks... it's fascinating but omg is this shit COMPLICATED

http://thai-language.com/ref/codaphrases

@bonhomme I'm actually not learned on any of those languages, so I can't really say

@TipsyTentacle sigh before I opened this I thought it was about Monster Hunter any maybe a Masto person would play it with me >.>

@guerrillarain yeah apparently the Pyongyang dialect avoids loanwords whenever possible, and tends to borrow from Russian when necessary. I think there are minor differences in phonology too, but they're definitely mutually intelligible

Extremely interesting page on the differences between the Korean spoken in the ROK and the Korean spoken in the DPRK:

https://www.alsintl.com/blog/korean-language-differences/

"One detail to note is that the language used in South Korea is based mostly on the Seoul dialect, and people in this area tend to use words borrowed from the English language quite often. By contrast, North Korean leaders have urged residents to keep borrowed words out of the Korean language and adhere primarily to the Pyongyang dialect. When North Koreans do, on occasion, incorporate other languages, they prefer to borrow from the Russian."

-fascinating-

@guerrillarain I would learn it so I could speak with people in the DPRK but Americans aren't allowed to go there anymore :(
