a_little_red_rat [he/him, comrade/them]

This reminds me of Ursula Le Guin’s “bag theory”: that the first tool humans developed, was not a weapon which is usually taught, like a spear, but rather, a bag, to carry things: for example for berries we picked. A nice reframe from the violent status quo.

If you mean the definite form, then no, Polish doesn’t have it. Learning English as a kid was difficult because no teacher could explain it to me in an understandable way.

I’ve been learning a little Romanian lately though and it is there. Romanian is such a weird language. The vocabulary is like a mixture of five other languages, the grammar has gendered words and conjugations, yet it has a strict word order, unlike Polish that thanks to the complex grammar allows for very free reordering.

From now on I’m calling my girlfriend “my microscopic mite”

It was the fleas, leave rats alone

They are machines, so I rage against them

I have zero media literacy

My favorite prefix will always be exa. Mostly because of a sci-fi book where one character called himself Exa and there were a few subtle puns with that name (like getting obliterated with a 10^18 W laser)
