What languages do bilingual people use when speaking to their pets, and other FFA investigations
Haven't been saving as many thoughtful discussion threads from FFA for a while. Here are the ones I've pulled over the past...wow, 2 years? Didn't realize it had been that slow.
(To be fair, I'm still enjoying meme for reasons that are less link-able. Wank rubbernecking, mostly. And "in spite of never having watched a single episode of the show, deciding how I feel about the Supernatural finale.")
"Were you ever an anti? Are you still one? If you used to be one, what made you change your mind? Do you have any opinions the meme would consider anti?"
"Bilingual nonnies, do you always talk to your pets in the same language or in different languages? Also, if different family members have different first languages, do they speak to pets in different languages or do they reach consensus and all speak the same one."
"How are names formed in your culture? What do creators need to keep in mind when coming up with accurate names? Are there any memorable examples, good or bad?"
"c. because the publisher does not want to publish books about gay characters, and is using the writer's not being gay as an excuse to turn them down."
Things you wish people knew about your chronic illness, including a personal post part 2.
"Weird things you believed as a kid. The weirder the better."
"If someone tells you "imagine a cat" without giving any special features or details, what does your brain default to? What's your idea of a Generic Cat?"
