choosing to allocate spoons to hanging out and having a good time at the cost of perfectly completing all your work is not a failing it is in fact an act of survival. “too sick to work = too sick to play” is in fact ableist bullshit that you don’t have to buy into. and the fact that leisure time is treated like a privilege is a fucking travesty

they should make a version of screaming as intensely as you can that doesn't make noise and is socially acceptable to do
#And also doesn't hurt your sore throat or overtaxed diaphragm. /u.u\#(Though the socially acceptable part is achieved at concerts in my experience.~ I mostly go to rock and metal so like. Screaming's a Thing.

genuinely can’t stress enough if you’re in high school rn and anyone is telling you that’s the best time of your life they are lying. it gets better. hs is arguably the worst. if you can survive that you can survive anything. despite the horrors i know i’m always posting about i swear life is so much better as an adult
#High school Fucked Me Up#Getting overwhelmed in hallway crowds from 7 separate senses#and trying to Figure Out What was Wrong With Me (depression and PTSD and spiritual crises and abuse and ADHD and chronic illness)#((but I wouldn't realize All That until I was like 25))#and also everyone's expecting you to Perform to Their Standards. Your parents; your teachers; your peers.#You're constantly being judged and valued based on how Well you Meet Their Standards when often you don't even CARE about that!#You're trying to figure YOURSELF out and it's just. It's a lot of pressure to put on someone who's trying to figure out how to grow up.#Also not to Do the Cliche Thing but your hormones are going crazy so you're navigating a whole new internal world too#AND your body's practically waging war on what it used to be to forge it into something Different!#Hormones affect emotions as well as body stuff. So like. Puberty Sucks Emotionally too ESPECIALLY if you have mental health struggles!#Gods I do NOT miss being 14. Or even 18.#I was a little more level at 18 and had figured SOME things out but I am SO glad I'm not there anymore.#So what I'm saying is: It does get better from there. I promise.

Homophone mistakes seen this week in intelligent posts by people I respect. Minor flaws, but worth learning the difference.
POURED vs PORED
"I poured water into the cup."
"I pored over every page in the book."
REPEL vs RAPPEL
"That horrible smell will repel guests."
"We had to rappel down the cliff."
#I see ''poured over books'' SO OFTEN that I'm starting to hate it.#Do Not Pour (Liquid) Over the Book! That Ruins It!!!#It is PORED#(Not mad but maybe a little annoyed.)#I am not immune to the occasional homophone mix-up#I have SO many instances of older writings that talk about ''reigned in'' something. It should be REIN in!#''Reign'' is what a monarch does. ''Rein in'' is what you do with a horse or something else you're controlling.#Another one I USED to do a lot was mixing up ''suit'' like follow suit and ''suite'' like a large room. I used to write ''follow suite''.#But like. Posts like this are Very Good for making sure we Stop Doing These!#Hell I think even ORWELL wrote in Politics and the English Language that people write ''tow the line'' instead of ''toe''.#So this is an issue people have had with spelling homophones for like 50 years at LEAST.#Though Orwell did point out that it tends to stem from Not Actually Understanding the Metaphor You're Speaking With#and also points out the danger of cliches and losing their meaning and... It's a great essay actually and relevant to this day#but yeah. The more things change the more they stay the same and all.#linguistics#english#spelling#writing#homophones

looking for opinions both from americans and non-americans: what would you consider to be the big 4 american cities in terms of like, vibes-based cultural impact?
#New York City for sure. Hollywood for the entertainment industry and advertisements that have only stengthened.#Seconding Houston from Randy except it's for the worldwide-known phrase ''Houston we have a problem''#aaaaand Washington DC just because that's where the president sits (you know. If he's doing his job)#and even the most uneducated person in the country knows the president is Important.#united states#reblog game#cities

Which one is closest to yours? Mine is like 6ish-7ish.
#WIT FINALLY ONE THAT ACCURATELY REFLECTS MY EYES. 80#7! Very much 7. A job interviewer once looked at me and said ''I've never met somebody with gray eyes before.''#But is that little ring around the pupil really so common? I've never seen a list that Specified That before!#Mine ARE mostly a lighter shade more like 2-4 but they have that ring for sure.#IRL canon#reblog game

If the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down, then the radio station i listen to is shutting down. This will be the second radio station that I've lost in two years. I would like to live in a world not sponsored by iheartradio and Siriusfm.

it's crucial that you untie "special interest" from "expertise". "it's true just trust me bro" doesn't have any extra weight when you add "I know because it's my special interest". you are not immune from falling for misinformation, and you are not immune from sharing misinformation. not to mention the fact that "amount of knowledge" isn't even a requirement for something being classified as a special interest lol!
#Also knowledge =/= media literacy.#And enjoyment =/= interpretation.#You may have the same special interest as me but I may not care to read what you write about it because I disagree with your takes!#I also may not care for your ''information'' if it's doomerism.#My brother once tried to convince me that Rape Is Okay because it's ''statistically common'' and ''people are still here''.#Like. You can Know things and still be putting them to Bad Use or using what you know in Bad Faith.#See also: CONFIRMATION BIAS.#You may have read a ton about your special interest but are the sources nuanced and balanced or feeding your preexisting bias?#Plus in a broader sense some people just like to Enjoy a Thing without learning about it.#special interest#expertise

Give up. Stop fighting for a world that is already dead. Spare your heart from being trampled upon. Give me one reason to keep fighting.
You sent me three cynical messages like this. If that's your prerogative, go ahead. I can't stop you. However, the fact that you're asking for one more reason to keep fighting tells me you want another reason to keep fighting and you haven't actually surrendered to despair yet. Our enemies cannot stand our existence. They cannot stand actual virtue, actual kindness, actual compassion for fellow human beings. They think that everyone is like them - miserable, corrupt, and out for themselves; that other people are a resource to be exploited. And it pisses them off so much when we deny it and we continue to help each other and help ourselves. We SPITE them. If this world is as bad as you say and it intends to swallow us all... then I say make them choke on us. If only for spite, if only for one last middle finger - to kill us, but not defeat us. I shall continue to fight for a better world and to help save who I can, because it is the right thing to do. In the immortal words of Captain Picard:
