I was trying to check when the great English vowel shift happened and got the strangest ad I’ve seen lol

I’m now obsessed with the idea of buying a phonological change. Like, popping down to the store and completely changing the way you speak.

brin-bellway asked: Word-wise, I like “meridian”. (This is also what I told theunitofcaring, but I don’t mind having that deanonymised.)

Meridian. MeRIDian. Meridian. Nice word.

(At least when it isn’t referring to the fictional creatures that are half fish and half monster from the id, as described in Idian mythology.)

I still randomly smile at the word “meridian,” so it’s probably safe to declare this the winner of the Suggest a Cool Word contest of 2015.

:)

On a related note: is it just me, or were you reblogging a lot of artwork of people falling asleep in each other’s arms during the weekend where you were extremely sleep-deprived?

I noticed this at the time, and my top two hypotheses were “it’s just me” and “this fandom has a lot of sleepy cuddling fanart for some reason”. But you’ve been reblogging a lot less of it the last couple of days (and have also been complaining of sleep deprivation a lot less), which makes me wonder if it’s you.

archonofquandaries asked: How do you *find* these tax-evasion places with the great food? They sound great! And you must have a general-principle-of-encountering-them, if it comes up so often?

My secret is I can’t drive for medical reasons and get around mostly by walking (and anywhere I can get to in less than an hour counts as “within walking distance”), so I stumble upon a lot of stuff that might not catch your eye driving past at 55 kilometres per hour.

(Also, I’m the sort of person who sees an unmarked door or poorly maintained hallway that everybody else seems to be ignoring and thinks “well, it doesn’t specifically say it’s not open to the public”, which I fully realise is probably going to get me killed one of these days.)

rustingbridges:

two things I learned today:

1) there’s a youtube video in which George RR martin shares his opinions on new york pizza

and

2) said opinions are thoroughly peasant-tier

Given one of our previous discussions [link], my first thought was that a peasant-tier opinion on this is “the best pizza is the kind you get for free by showing up to NYC tech meetups and pretending to care about The Cloud”. I *suspect* that’s not actually what you meant, though.

You might like to know that this afternoon I spent like thirty seconds cackling in causeless happiness at the word “meridian.”

…oh right, I did technically reblog that post, didn’t I. Anon, get thee too a church of your choosing at whatever frequency suits you.

(please stand by)

I had actually forgotten I’d told you that, though I remembered telling my readership in general that.

(Yay cackling in causeless happiness!)

reblogging because the last graphic comment is FLAWLESS

@sinesalvatorem pinged me on this, but Tumblr refused to display the parts of the thread above hers (not only on the dash, but on her blog and on the reblogging screen as well).

I debated for a bit whether to reblog directly from her or go back one link in the reblog chain and use that. On the one hand, I think the humour was enhanced by not knowing what the post was right away (so that I wondered “what did she ping me on?” and going back a link and seeing the original thread acted as a punchline). On the other hand, a deactivation here and a name-change there and people who come across this later on might not be able to find that punchline. In the end, preservation concerns won out.

Anyway, thank you, Alison! I’m glad you thought of me.

(Also, they do seem to be grasping at the same distinction we were, don’t they.)

Oh!

People were talking as if it were a virus, so once someone quit the metaphor and explained, my immediate second reaction was that this was going to be the best use of Brin’s tag for Tumblr updates. And, well,

#The Great Tumblr Apocalypse

I’m pretty sure we’re all going to be eaten by zombies.

…good point. I guess apocalyptic things have happened.

(Aww, you thought of me!)
