Listen, itā€™s complete bullshit when weebs say that Japanese donā€™t have pronouns. Let me explain in a way that theyā€™ll understand.

Today is National Poetry Day so I'm going to again share my favourite contemporary poem, which is I'm Going Back to Minnesota Where Sadness Makes Sense by Danez Smith...

Iā€™M GOING BACK TO MINNESOTA WHERE SADNESS MAKES SENSE

By Danez Smith

O California, donā€™t you know the sun is only a god
if you learn to starve for him? Iā€™m bored with the ocean
I stood at the lip of it, dressed in down, praying for snow
I know, Iā€™m strange, too much light makes me nervous
at least in this land where the trees always bear green.
I know something that doesnā€™t die canā€™t be beautiful.
Have you ever stood on a frozen lake, California?
The sun above you, the snow & stalled seaā€”a field of mirror
all demanding to be the sun too, everything around you
is light & itā€™s gorgeous & if you stay too long it will kill you
& itā€™s so sad, you know? Youā€™re the only warm thing for miles
& the only thing that canā€™t shine.

There is no ā€œthe filibusterā€. It has changed so much and has so many different possible implementations for different goals that talking about it like a concrete thing - let alone a tradition - is incoherent.

Today is National Lobster Day so here's an interesting fact for you... the reason lobsters hate boiling water is because they worry the vapour will make them look ugly (shellfish steam issues)

Mad respect for lovecraft narrators who keep on journaling WHILE being dragged away by eldritch horrors, I canā€™t write one email most days
