[Tweet from @/fozmeadows: "human gender and sexuality are very much like animal taxonomy, in that both look structured and simple on the surface, but once you start investigating, it turns out there's actually no such thing as a fish despite the fact that we all know what a fish is, and that's okay"]
best thing tumblr ever did for me is the term "rotating it in my mind". it's really true that sometimes you think about something real hard but you can't tell what the thoughts are exactly. it's revolutionary stuff, i might even say
You always wanted to be a Healer. Unfortunately, your dad was an Necromancer and your mother a Demon Summoner. So your healing was a bit… unconventional to say the least.
please so in Appalachia there’s a saying you can use when someone asks, “how are you,” that goes “if I were any better, there’d be two of me.” Idk what it means tbh. You’re so good, you need two bodies to contain it? Who knows. We just say it.
Anyway one day I was reading about Appalachian English as a dialect, not just an accent, and that a lot of the phrases I used growing up and still do would make no sense to someone else out of context in another region and I thought that can’t be right. I talk like everyone else.
Then one day someone in Seattle asked how I was doing and I said, “well I ain’t twins.”
That’s not even the original saying. We just looked at each other in confusion like I got supernaturally possessed by the farmers’ almanac.
