(Beautiful, but gone.)

Even A Softer World knows that people shouldn’t be prescriptivists! 

well the author is a linguist

Ooh, I didn’t realize that, awesome! I should really add “write webcomics” to the linguistics jobs series, since it’s a thing that people with linguistics backgrounds often seem to go on to do. (I’ve seen legit linguistics in Dinosaur comics, SMBC, and xkcd, to name a few.)

one of new jersey’s most famous confections, saltwater taffy, was invented because some asshole’s candy shop flooded and ruined all his taffy and he sold it to a child anyway and i think that pretty much says a lot about the overall cultural climate of new jersey

I love this game.

“Somehow it never occurred to my princess, whom I’d lovingly crafted into a tense, paranoid warlord, that she shouldn’t empty a box of mysterious mailcandy into her mouth. You would think studying poison and espionage would have saved me from this espionage poison, but instead, a list of other skills, skills I never studied, princess skills, were key to avoiding this fate. I guess that’s the lesson: you can’t build a successful Arya without adding a little Sansa.”

“Oooh, I unlocked a new outfit.”

me: would an apocalyptic angel with four legs wear pants like this, or like this

st. thomas aquinas: everything which is in pants has some position. now to have a position cannot benefit an angel, since his substance is devoid of quantity, the proper difference of which is to have a position. therefore an angel is not in pants.
