THE WONDERFUL THING ABOUT TIGGERS IS TIGGERS WILL FUCK UP YOUR MORNING JOG

Cute Peacock Spiders :)
it’s all like HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HI HI HEY HI
That is really cool and also really weird
I am intrigued :3c
I have the hugest weakness for Saltcids.
I think this level of cuteness may actually have killed me.
(GOD THE WAY IT MOVES ITS PEDIPALPS GIVES IT THIS EXPECTANT LITTLE LOOK LIKE “I hope you like my dance!” AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH SO FRICKIN’ CUUUTE)
(I have no problem with the poem itself, because it is hilarious. But the way it was presented is utter fucking bullshit.)
I literally have no way to type out what I want to say, since most of it consists of gestures and cut off sounds, but let me try.
Prepare for lots of yelling.
Alright, you have been warned.
No.
NO.
NO. STOP THAT.
..speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers…
STOP IT RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG. THAT IS NOT HOW LANGUAGE WORKS.
There is a reason why “native-level” is considered the pinnacle of ability. BECAUSE YOU CANNOT ATTAIN A LEVEL OF MASTERY BETTER THAN A FUCKING NATIVE SPEAKER. I AM NOT EVEN SORRY, BECAUSE THIS IS TRUTH. FOE EXAMPLE: NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY, OR HOW GOOD I GET, I WILL ALWAYS BE RECOGNIZED BY NATIVE RUSSIAN AND GERMAN SPEAKERS AS SOMEONE WHO IS NOT NATIVE. I WILL NEVER BE THAT GOOD BECAUSE IT IS NOT MY L1.
Sorry, I’ve fallen back into capslock and jargon. But this shit actually enrages me.

To say that a non-native speaker speaks “better” than a native is a fallacy. To say that a non-native speaker speaks with fewer errors is also a fallacy, albeit a different one that I don’t want to talk about here. Please stop perpetuating these unfortunate prescriptivist rumors. They’re not helping anyone, and they just make the language-learning community look petty and obsessed with the most pedantic minutiae.
Additionally, Several of the rhymes in this poem…don’t actually work at all? At least not in my dialect of English. In fact, in order for everything to line up you have to hop across the pond (and around the US) a few times. Which really doesn’t help if you’re trying to nail an accent.
(Guys, language is one of the few things I actually get properly riled up about. I hope you’ve enjoyed this episode of LFP Has Too Many Feelings About Language. If you’ve made it this far and want to discuss this further, please feel free to send me an ask containing either your disagreement or a high-five accompanied by your argument or expansion on my rant, respectively.)

The folks over at Comicbook interviewed Greg Rucka where he discusses the treatment of women by Hollywood and DC Comics. Rucka’s discussion of Hollywood comes in reference to the development of his Queen and Country for the big screen. That discussion, as you’ll see, turns into a discussion of…
