A child is polite: wow! such a good kid
A child is polite (China): the Chinese are taught from a young age that any individuality will be punished.
A child is polite (Japan): This can be explained by the Shinto concept of ゲイのセクシ, a word untranslateable into English,
end description)
For the record, 1. “ゲイのセクシ” (gei no sekushi) is Google Translate screwing up “gay sex” apparently (and the author of the tweet was very sleep-deprived when they made this)
and 2. that was in response to this:
(Image description: a tweet by Wirelessly__ with the text “thing I keep seeing” and two other images: one, a frowning face next to the word “thing” and a cheerful smiling face with a heart next to the text “thing, japan”; the other, the previous face smiling at the word “thing”, and the frowning face with “thing, china”)

ok so i dont really care about bts. to preface this. but i think the phenomenon of bts fans who think jungkook is princess diana reincarnated is really funny. so if i had to be bts/jungkook’s manager i’d make him lean into it. make him give fake interviews about being scared of car crashes and other things to feed the princess diana jungkook bts girlies

I love lying to kids. It’s so fun. My coworker’s daughter said she speaks 2 languages and I said I spoke 17,000 and she narrowed her eyes at me and was like “… no you don’t” and it was the cutest thing.
The last time I saw her I told her I was a “half-magician” that can only do 50% of a trick, and I showed her how I can tear a piece of paper in two but can’t make it come back together, and she got soooo annoyed with me. Absolutely adorable. Lying to children is the best

I need people to understand…that if you believe in paying people a livable hourly wage…most hand-knitted clothing should cost hundreds of dollars
“My grandma could make that!” YOUR GRANDMA LOVES YOU ENOUGH TO SPEND A MONTH MAKING YOU A SWEATER FOR CHRISTMAS, I HAVE NO SUCH AFFECTION
This is why I cherish my handcrafted garments by friends and my partner like they’re made from magic. They spent time and resources MAKING this for me. For ME 🥹
