@Oatmeal And where do orcas go peepee?

I know why

@HeldenMommy Love it! But it's a delightful noise when you do it!

@cdr Yes, in Afrikaans we have the word aardvark "earth pig" and in German Ferkel, thus Erdferkel "aardvark', related to English farrow.

@elemon See, that's just nowhere near as fun. Varken is such a great word for pig.

Enigszins off-topic, maar "boomstekelvarken" is mijn nieuwe favoriete Nederlandse woord. Of misschien "complotmarmot."

@profmweiss @commiegirl1 @Wonkette Yes, she is a national treasure, and doesn't Donna Rose look almost exactly like her?

This is so beautiful. @commiegirl1 is a national treasure, as is @wonkette. wonkette.com/2022-greetings…

@HeldenMommy And a Merry Christmas to my favorite Wagnerian soprano!

Merry Christmas from our home to yours ♥️

@LinguisticsShi1 Clever. I learned my Danish in Jylland where there's not much of a stød if at all.

Person: “Danish speakers do weird glottal things to their vowels that make me think they must give great blowjobs” Me:

@HeldenMommy Love it!

Because this just never gets old…. Happy Thanksgiving, y’all 🦃!!!

@HeldenMommy I admit it. I'm 82. I even have one of these.

@TheBloggess Can't find the send button on Messages. What app are you using?

Did you try it? Did it work? Am I the only person learning how their phone works from their child?

This tweet is just for the old people. Go write a text to someone but instead of clicking the send button just hold the send button down until it gives you options and select “invisible ink”. I feel magic and also very old bc I didn’t even know this was a thing.

@jbartonmezzo @Teatro_Real I love the role of Amneris. She seems to be the only actual feeling human being in the opera. Your voice should make her a sympathetic character instead of the villainess most make her out to be!

Today is my first day of rehearsal for Aida at @Teatro_Real, and Amneris is a role debut… one I’ve waited years to sing. To say I’ve been nervous for this day is an understatement! Bless the kind people who make newbies like me feel welcome. 💜 Madrid, I’m so happy to be back!

@LinguisticsShi1 Bullshit. It's wüge.

The plural of “wug” is “wuggen” I will take no questions.

@LinguisticsShi1 The actual verb is 'Rick rollen', thus Ich habe dich Rick gerollt would be the actual sentence.

In the German verb “rickrollen” the “rick” should be a separable prefix. I want to say things like “rickzurollen” and “ich habe dich rickgerollt” and “Ich rolle dich rick”

@HeldenMommy @LAPhil @HollywoodBowl @GustavoDudamel @yuval_sharon What lovely eyes!

Who, me? Oh just at rehearsal, no big whoop… @LAPhil @HollywoodBowl #Act3Walkure @GustavoDudamel @yuval_sharon

@HeldenMommy Antepenultimate at noon?

*cymbal crash*

@HeldenMommy @BostonSymphony @andris_nelsons Congrats! Such a difficult role. I'm sure you were terrific!

First Marie under my belt! Oh Boston… I’ve missed you ♥️ #BSOWozzeck @BostonSymphony @andris_nelsons (Let’s do it again tomorrow night!) #HopHop
