imagine being able to read lips and reading the lips of someone who’s lip-sinking a song, except they don’t know the lyrics at all so they’re just mouthing bullshit and hoping to get by w/o anyone noticing, but you do. you notice. you know
i think about this a lot
as someone who can read lips, it’s actually really annoying
when Mom was in language school, there was a dude that knew/was learning morse code, and of course all the students decided that meant they had to mess w him (bc they were students and needed to have fun in class?)
everytime this dude started nodding off and half-sleeping someone would start tapping their pencil on their desk and pretty soon the dude would snap up and call out a random word like “Tree!”
and then realize what’s going on, and get super annoyed at everyone
My middle school history teacher stopped teaching Morse code because kids were using it to cheat on tests by blinking answers to each other.
excellent, excellent post, terrific contributions, all of you
I learned Morse and ASL with @silverymoonthing and we communicated in class
We would say “What the actual fuck” “What are we doing” “I want to die”
please give me more of your school stories i need. them.
I went to speech therapy to learn how to …talk properly in general. But here’s the thing. My speech therapist was a ventriloquist. Full blown fucken ventriloquist. She even had the dummy and would go to classes with it (I don’t remember why right now but yeah… she did that).
I learned how to speak without using my lips very much. Like. Barely at all. Sooooo a bunch of deaf people and people who read lips? Yeah, they can’t read them unless I am actively trying to move my lips in a way to allow them to be read. It came in handy in boot camp. But also I am a pretty good ventriloquist without even trying lol. I’m pretty sure @imashitty90skid can back me up here, we met in the speech therapy class.

She took up acting because the malnutrition she suffered under the nazis permanently damaged her health and prevented her from pursuing her dream to be a ballerina. During the war, she danced to raise money for the resistance – even though she was literally starving, she used what strength she had to make sure more nazis got shot.
She and her mom also denounced their royal heritage because of the Nazis in their family
Also Audrey was a humanitarian until her death, though ill with cancer, she continued her work for UNICEF, travelling to Somalia, Kenya, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, France and the United States.
These are things I literally never would have known about. I’m tired of women being painted as just being pretty.
modern greek mythology adaptation where hades and persephone are played by john mulaney and his wife
She’s hades, he’s Persephone
Oh no, no. John Mulaney is 100% Hades.
Loves his wife
Is actually pretty chill except when it comes to stupid people
Can’t stand up for himself when others try to do him wrong
And from what we hear about her, she’s very Persephone.
Easy to underestimate
Knows her own mind
Will cut you
“So, I meet this wonderful lady. Just fantastic, my heart does that thing where it’s skipping beats, and I – all of you think I’m going to talk about how I suavely asked her out, and that is not what happened.
“I ride up in my chariot, and the first – this is literally the first thing I say to her is ‘do you want to meet my dog’?
“And this – I – this is a sign that this woman is my soul mate – she looks at her friends hanging around and says, ‘sure, catch you later, guys’.
“I’m going to skip forward here a couple of dates – no, don’t – this is not the story of how my wife met my dog – and her mom – her mom – finds out she’s seeing me. Now I know everyone jokes about how a girl’s dad is this big, hulking – going to hunt you down if you’re dating his daughter and he doesn’t like you. But if you say that, it’s because you’ve never had some girl’s mom glaring up at you from like – her mom’s like two inches taller than her, so this little furious glare from around my chin area, saying her daughter’s not allowed to come see me anymore.
“And this – okay, this is when I knew I was going to marry this girl, she looks at her mom and, cool as anything, says, ‘Too late, mom. I met his dog, ate dinner over here. I’m staying’.”
Kamilah Brock, a former New York banker, has filled a suit against the city after she was detained for eight days in a mental health facility against her will. Brock says she was committed after trying to pick up her BMW, which skeptical police did not believe she owned. To add insult to injury, Brock was then charged a hefty sum by the hospital.
I realized I never posted photos or videos of my new Shell Dweller Cichlids in my new tank, so here they are, a male and female Neolamprologus multifasciatus doing what they do best lol
