excus--AHEM I mean legitimate reasons
Sorry, I know I’ve been super lazy about posting twice a day/on time over the past few days. I have work, and it’s summer, and there was a birthday in there somewhere, and my laptop now wheezes like a dying elephant and is so slow that it lags when I try to type.

Anonymous asked: Just a suggestion: I think it'd be pretty cool if, when posting words from languages that have different scripts (eg. Greek, Russian, Japanese), you could include the word in the original script of the language somewhere in the post, just for interest's sake. But if you don't have the time or if it's too hard to verify or something, your blog is awesome either way! That's...

Tumblr is my personal weapon of choice against things like, you know, Productivity and Sleep. But in case yours is Facebook or Twitter, I’ve got you covered too.

okay, okay!
If you didn’t know, I include language and origin in every post. For example, euneirophrenia: it’s tagged with #english and #origin: greek. Reasons why I put extra info in tags: it keeps the image looking neat—just word and definition it’s faster than putting it elsewhere it means you can search posts by language or origin Reasons why I really ought to put it...
