We Haven't Been On Duolingo In Fucking MONTHS And This Inspired Us To Get Back On And Restart Learning

We haven't been on Duolingo in fucking MONTHS and this inspired us to get back on and restart learning Klingon (yeaaa Trekkies) and Russian. Gonna start with Klingon bc memorizing/put tape over all my keys with the Russian alphabet is a pain in the ass and will take a while but currently in class so plftft, Klingon it is

I feel like a lot of Duolingo discourse should acknowledge that the reason that they have basically every national European language on there is not because of a “European bias” but because of refugees. A huge number of refugees in Europe use it to learn the language of whatever country they’re moving to or living in; the site even talks about it in the “fun facts” on their waiting screen. Languages like Swedish and Norwegian aren’t there primarily for Minnesotans getting in touch with their heritage, but for African and Asian refugees in Sweden and Norway, and indeed they make up the majority of people using Duolingo to learn those languages. The site does need to add more non-European languages; it’s gradually doing this, it recently added Zulu, Xhosa and Kreyòl, and its focus on indigenous languages like Navajo and Hawaiian is especially commendable, but there are still some glaring omissions of major world languages from Asia and Africa that need to be addressed — and even “they’re edited by users” doesn’t cut it with how many people worldwide speak those whom they could seek out! But the fact that a free language app is doing its best to provide the language learning services that those actual countries routinely deny desperately-poor refugees is a good thing actually. Reserve your rage for the inclusion of Esperanto, Klingon and High Valyrian over Tagalog and Farsi.

i had a dream tumblr released a feature called “tumblr duels” where tumblr would give you someones url and you litterally just had to fucking kill them

FlappyHappy is a small Canadian business. It is run by autistics. Many places that sell stim toys are focused on the needs and experiences of parents of young autistic children.  Here at FlappyHappy, autistic needs and voices are centred over caregivers. Our stim toys are also great for people living with trauma, ADHD, chronic pain, anxiety, or other needs! 

We started out with 9 products and now have over 30. Our mission is to make stim toys affordable and accessible to as many people who need them as we can. One of the ways we do this is by pricing them as reasonably as possible. Any profits we have made thus far have been reinvested into new products for sale. We are doing our best to keep to a model of pricing which is sustainable for our business and for the community we serve.

We also offer free shipping worldwide on orders of $70 CAD or more!

As a small business, it means the absolute world to us if you help us get the word out by sharing this, or even tagging us on or other social media.

i was just thinking about kronk from the emperors new groove and i thought to myself "hey so it seems like kronk is a bottom"

and then in my head i heard kronks voice and he said "nono, im asexual."

and the thing is normally all of my thoughts happen in MY OWN voice. and the fact it said "i" not "he" makes me think that the spirit of kronk entered my head for a second to set the record straight about his sexuality. so. kronk is ace, guys.
