This called me out of being sarcastic in Urdu in a way I didn’t ask
“Bilinguals overwhelmingly report that they feel like different people in different languages. It is often assumed that the mother tongue is the language of the true self. (…) But, if first languages are reservoirs of emotion, second languages can be rivers undammed, freeing their speakers to ride different currents.”

Okay, but getting serious for a moment:
I know I’ve given you protest instructions and advice before.
This is absolutely one of those times to listen.
If you’re new, uninitiated, or considering going out for your First, be advised that you need to be careful.
And I’ve said this before:
I cannot overemphasize that. The last protest I was at, a man pulled out a gun, an actual gun, and while I don’t think we were ever in any danger, the leader gave everyone an earful about antagonizing and escalation once we’d marched a safe distance down the street. At the end, they told us sternly that they knew how long it would take for someone to actually get to the point of shooting people, and that they could judge that because of their life experience. Odds are that your local protest leaders will have similar experience and awareness, and when it comes to that, it can literally mean the difference between life and death.
So if you do choose to protest or march this week, you. Listen. To. Your. Leaders. You move as a unit. You stay safe. You take care of yourself and then you take care of the person next to you.
Pack water. Pack illumination. Pack light. And study up on basic first aid, too.
Fortune favors the prepared.
Trans and proud y'all

Tom Riddle fanfiction
Couple: Reader x Tom
“Love?” Tom scoffed.
“How could love be the most powerful thing? She really is a muggle, if she only knew about the wizarding world, then she would answer differently.
If she only knew about dark spells and powerful curses.
If she only knew about me.
About what I am.”
