Joint lesbian wedding in New York City, circa mid-1960s.
Based on a conversation I had recently….
Pan 1: Flock of geese fly in formation noisily overhead.
Pan 2:
Crowley: Do you think they talk to each other the whole time?
Pan 3:
Aziraphale: They must do. What else do you do on a long journey?
Crowley: The original “Are we there yet?”
Pan 4:
Crowley *Goose babblings*
Aziraphale *ANGRY HONK*
i’m so upset
I just realized that the reason ghosts say Boo! is because it’s a latin verb
they’re literally saying ‘I alarm/I am alarming/I do alarm!!
I can’t
Recte!
if it comes from the latin word, they’re actually saying “I’M YELLING!” which is even cuter
do they speak latin because it’s a dead language
get out
This is exactly the kind of content I come here for like I want to print this out, frame it and put it on my wall.
if tumblr shuts down you can find me bleeding out in a ditch
Gay is a really funny minority because with other minorities it's like "first black president! first female nobel prize winner' or whatever but with gay people it's "first openly gay" because we all already know there's been a bunch of gay ones already. like nobody even disputes this. gay president? yeah pretty sure we've had gay presidents. gay, you know, king of england? what you think none of those motherfuckers have been fucking gay?
showering:
pros: you get to feel clean. you get non greasy hair, non oily feeling skin, it just in general makes you feel better, more energised, refreshed.
cons: there are so many steps. oh my god are there so many steps. before getting into the shower there are steps. during the shower there are steps. and once youve gotten out of the shower? guess what!!! more fucking steps!!!!!!!! UGHHHH
lets ambush mama
Holy **** oh right okay. So I was about to make a post about how using speech to text has already been a game changer for me but as you can see by the line of asterix at the start of this post the bloody thing auto censors swear words. (Yet bloody got through, ig Because it is a description and also British slang.). Hint: the word I was trying to say there starts with F and ends with K.
Oh and guess what else you can't say you can't say? **** [Nipples]. had to type that myself. penis is ok but **** [clitoris] isn't, and all my attempts to say "clit" were Misunderstood, which may just be my speech but at this point I am not willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Vagina is OK too but every time I say it there is a moment when an * shows up on screen first before the full word does. this doesn't happen when I say the word penis.
It is completely heinous. Anybody who needs speech to text is immediately forced to comply with the rules set out by people in a position of power and then enforced by a machine — a machine that is a very powerful accessibility tool. Imagine trying to dictate a letter to a doctor or fill in an E consult with speech to text, only to have words of your anatomy censored as if they are taboo. there is already far too much stigma around genital physical health — and note that I could say genital but can't say **** [clitoris] — for it to be okay for these words to be censored.
And even if somebody just wants to swear In a message to their friends or write smut/**** [pornography], they should be able to. There is no justification for this feature. No reason for it to be default.
I'm trying to find a way around this. There is a settings icon on the little speech to text bar that comes up, but this only gives me options For the speech typing launcher, auto punctuation, and to set the default microphone. it's making me extremely angry
I also hate when subtitles are censored but the audio isn't. It feels infantilizing.

[ID: REDDIT POST:
Title: "Speech to text alternative for Windows that DOES NOT censor curse words?"
Flair: "General Question"
Post main text:
"I hate how Windows speech To text censors my words, things like offensive words and curse words. I'm an adult and if I want to say those words, I should be able to say them and not have to deal with a bunch of asterisks. Speech to text alternatives?
answer: I was using a different, simpler windows voice to text functionality. Windows has a more extensive voice control functionality that actually allows you to navigate windows with voice as well but you can use it for diction only like i do:
You can turn off the profanity filter.
Use profanity filtering
If voice access captures a profane word, it is masked in the speech feedback. If a profanity is detected while you're dictating text, the masked version is typed out. By default, this option is turned on. You can turn the profanity filtering off or on from the voice access bar.
- To turn profanity filtering on or off, on the voice access bar, select (Settings)> Manage options > Filter profanity."
THANK YOU!! I was searching desperately for alternatives and/or workaround s but kept getting Microsoft forum results of people with the same complaints + Microsoft employees staunchly defending the filter and saying there is no other option. Really should have gone to Reddit first...
I was thinking of trying one after being told it'd help my dyslexia!! Thanks for this!!!
Can I say the word clitoris? Just checking can I say the word vagina? Yeah, I can. I can say all of these words. My text-to-speech has none of these limitations. Penis vulva scrotum fucking hell yeah I can say it. Will it say clit? Yeah. will it say cunt? Also yeah fuck shit nipples. Yeah I can say slash type anything with my text-to-speech. I am using an Android phone btws.
