sorry if you've answered this before, and i hope you don't mind me asking, how do you know so much about computers and what seems to me like everything in the world? how did you become so knowledgeable? it's amazing
i just know a little about a lot of things and I probably have a fair number of things that I've dug into more than most people and less than people who actually focus on that stuff! It's kind of an illusion!
I do know a lot about computers and that's because I've worked at a computer company for 12 years and have been deep into a computery subculture for about 20 years - I do genuinely know a lot about consumer computers. That I'll own and that's experience.
I know a fair amount about literature because I've got a degree in it!
I know a fair amount about journalism because I've got most of a degree in it and I worked with journalists for a long time!
I know a fair amount about nutrition because I've got most of a degree in it and because I've been focused on reading a lot about nutrition for more than a decade because of my own food issues!
But mostly I'm just someone who falls down rabbitholes and has a decent ability to recall what I find when I run down them.
Also I get curious about things and will just go. Experience them.
Like at some point i came across a site for people who own and use RealDolls and I got interested in learning more. The site required an application because they didn't want people just trolling so I applied and I ended up reading through the whole site and reading the magazines they sent out for years after because it was just interesting. The way these guys bought clothes or compared repair techniques and cleaning techniques, the way they constructed identities for their dolls - it was all interesting! So now I know about the proper way to store a RealDoll and how their skeletons are put together and the best way to prevent rips or clean inserts.
Now imagine that with everything.
I got interested in quack medicine so I ended up reading the entire back catalogs of quackwatch and science-based medicine.
I got interested in the history of aspartame as a scare-word and I ended up reading a couple of books, SEVERAL entire blogs with decades-long runs, purchasing a military magazine from the 90s, and submitting a FOIA request.
But, like. I don't own a RealDoll or work in that industry. I am not a medical professional. I am not a chemist who works with aspartame. So I get these weird little collections of information where I know what *seems* like a lot to someone who hasn't looked into it but I know a lot less than someone who has taken the time to actually dedicate themselves to that topic.
And sometimes it's a years-long dive and sometimes it's a months-long dive and sometimes it's a few hours of me digging online until I feel satisfied with what I've learned and I never come back to it, but I've got three more talking points than your average joe at a party would.
(Also though I've attended various colleges at various levels for ten-ish years now and I've taken probably more college-level classes on a lot of subjects than most people have because I've now spent several years just kind of kicking around at community colleges and deciding that a cartooning class sounds fun or that a mesoamerican art class fills certain transfer requirements or that I might as well brush up on spanish, french, and german. Access to low-cost college classes in california is a big part of this, and having the time and money to take classes while i'm working is something that I've been very lucky with)
I've also worked pretty much continuously since I was 18, sometimes holding multiple jobs at once, and I know a lot of interesting people who do a lot of interesting things and I ask them about their interesting experiences and if they offer me a chance to go do cool shit with them, like launch a high altitude balloon or blow up some dynamite that's about to expire or join a band, I do it!
I was also one of those kids who had no friends and spent too much time at the library so I'd do things like read through medical textbooks or pull a book of home chemical formulas out of the trash and read it or take it into my head that I was going to read all of Shakespeare before I got to high school so I was a really annoying twelve-year-old and that kind of thing never really let up.
I don't know! I don't think it's that unusual and I think most people do this kind of thing I just happen to have less focus than a lot of people and talk a lot more.

Explain the basic: Divination tool
Desclaimer: Everything I will talk about is information that I got from books and sites online and even videos on YouTube. In my years of practice, I learned as much as I could out of curiosity and what works best for me. I suggest you do the same by learning as much as you can on your own (I will be here making posts teaching this kind of stuff) from multiple sources.
As always, I will love to hear your thoughts! and if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer them! If you liked it, leave a comment or reblog (that is always appreciated!). If you are interested in more methods, check the masterlist!
Tumblr media
As a divination witch, I obviously work a lot with the divine, and what I'm about to say are just a few of the things you may use or perform in this type of witchcraft work.
A word of caution, though: I've worked with divine magic for a long time; don't get into it unless you know what you're doing, and especially not without defending yourself. In this list, I will clearly explain what each item does and how it works, and some of this is for a more "advanced" sort of witchcraft.
Tumblr media
In witchcraft, there are numerous divination tools practitioners use to gain insight into the past, present, or future or to communicate with spiritual entities. I personally believe that it is the tool that chooses you, not you choosing the tool. Here are some common ones:
Tarot Cards:
A deck of 78 cards with various symbols and images that are interpreted in readings to gain insight into a question or situation. These 78 cards are divided into major arcana and minor arcana. The major arcana may change with the deck that you choose, but the main symbolism is the same, and sometimes you will find decks that have more than just 78 cards. 
Runes:
A rune is a letter in a set of related alphabets known as runic alphabets native to the Germanic peoples. The runes are an ancient method of divination used even before medieval times. Runes can be made of stone, wood, or other materials, and each symbol has its own meaning. You can easily make your own runes.
Crystal Ball Scrying/Scrying Mirror:
This requires gazing into a crystal ball or other reflective surface, such as a mirror, to obtain visions or insights. You do it by just looking at the shiny surface in low light, with nothing to distract you. Your vision will "blur," allowing you to experience visions or gain insights. There is a good reason why this happens. It's essentially our brain getting tired of our reflection and starting to make up new stories, but it's not all psychology since, as we all know, mirrors are gateways. So it is advised not to try this method unless you are an experienced witch or just lack protection, as you may invite something you do not want to invite.
Pendulum Divination:
A pendulum, often a crystal or metal weight on a chain, is used to answer yes-or-no questions or to indicate directions or choices. The pendalum moves on its own, and before you start actually using it, I suggest you ask the pendalum which direction is yes and which is no. Much like the Ouija board, this object can be used to talk to spirits and ghosts, so be careful to always say thanks and say goodbye once you finish a session, even if it is not the primary use. Better safe than sorry.
Tea Leaf Reading:
Interpretation of patterns formed by tea leaves at the bottom of a cup after drinking. Practitioners see symbols and images in the leaves and use them for divination. that's it. that's the tea.
Astrology:
Reading and interpreting the positions and movements of celestial bodies to gain insight into personality traits, events, and relationships. that can be the oroscope, your birth chart etc.
Ouija Board:
A flat board marked with the letters of the alphabet, numbers, and other symbols. Participants use a planchette to spell out messages supposedly from spirits or other supernatural entities. This is one of those tools that you don't have to play around with. It is not a game you can literally get into if you are not careful enough. The way that the Ouija board works is that you place your finger on the planchette; if you don't have a planchette, a metal ring will do just fine. Once you position it, you say, "Hello, im --- and i here to talk to only benevolent spirits, and only benevolent spirits can come true and talk to me." Once this part is done, it is NOT THE PLANCHETTE THAT MOVES YOU MOVE THE PLANCHETTE Hollywood lies to you; what a surprise! Once you are done chit-chatting with the spirits, make sure the spirits say goodbye. Say your goodbye, and once you are done, close the space and banish everything "bad" that may have come true. Again, better safe than sorry.
Numerology:
The study of the mystical significance of numbers and their influence on human life and events. a good example will be angel numbers like 444 or 555
Dream Interpretation:
Analyzing the content and symbolism of dreams to gain insight into subconscious thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Dreams can tell a lot of our personal lives, and 100% of dreams know what's up before we ourselves know. Trust and follow your dreams. 
These tools are often used in combination with intuition, ritual, and personal symbolism, and the effectiveness of each tool can vary depending on the practitioner's skill and connection with their craft.

For those of you who follow me and don’t know what Allo Allo is lemme tell you
It’s this old British sitcom from the 80’s set in ww2 occupied France centered around this cafe owner of whom all he really wants to do is fool around with several women- his waitresses in his employ- and prevent his wife who he doesn’t really like all that much from catching his affairs with them but has to respond to the ridiculous antics of both the resistance and the Germans on the daily and never catches a break 😂. Well the plot is actually a little more complicated than that and there’s several subplots between other characters, but that’s the key premise of the show. It’s friggin’ hilarious and all the characters are soooo lovable and cute- all of them, the French civilians, the Germans, and the resistance.
I know I get obsessed with obscure unpopular shit with dead fandoms 😂 be like that
It can be streamed on any of the following platforms: Britbox, Tubi, and/or Amazon Prime. Tho keep in mind Tubi is missing two very special episodes (season 2 episode 7 and season 8 episode 1), so it would be best to temporarily rent Britbox or Prime to watch those and then cancel xD cause Tubi is completely free with ads. But these sites are only accessible in I think, the US and the UK although I’m sure Prime is in other countries idk if the content there would be the same everywhere. You absolutely have to see these episodes if you watch the show because unlike most sitcoms, Allo Allo has a continuous narrative where each episode builds off of the plot of the previous one and so on and so forth.
For those in other countries-I have found the series pirated on some site (I’ll dm it if you’re curious but I’ll look for more tho- because it is missing those same two episodes sadly, so I wonder if another platform has all of them). I also found the series on Dailymotion, but the lengths of the episodes look as if things are cut short so I don’t know if they’re missing important parts of each episode (most episodes of Allo Allo are anywhere from 25 to 30 minutes long, with the two special episodes being like 40-50 something minutes long) or if they only trimmed the outtro credits out. Or you’d probably need a VPN or have to get the series on DVD xD there are lots of clips of the show on YouTube tho but no full episodes from what I can tell.
I have learned from observing the fanbase online that apart from the UK and US it seems to also be popular in Poland, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and a couple of Balkan and Scandinavian countries plus Australia and New Zealand- so if any of y’all are from these places it would probably be easy to find it to stream there. But it might be harder to watch elsewhere, but I could be wrong!
Anyway y’all if you end up watching it hope you enjoy it xD I certainly do! I’m on my third rewatch of the show.

I am language DISinclined as much as I WANT to learn a language. I’m so interested in languages that I have an English BA and I’ve considered going for a MA in linguistics because etymology is 🤩
But I can’t for the life of me learn a full language. That being said, I pick up random words in different languages all over the freaking place.
French? Yup. Italian? Check. Russian. Mmhmm. German. Yes. Sign language? Odd one out but yep. Spanish? Who doesn’t know a few odd words when you live in the US.
I DONT GET HOW PEOPLE CAN FULLY LEARN OTHER LANGUAGES WHEN MY BRAIN IS JUST LIKE “I like these words. Yeah. These are good. That’s it though. :)”
Helppppppppp I love language but language only wants a friends-with-benefits relationshippppppp
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh I totally get it honestly, language learning is not that easy usually especially when it comes to grammar which feels like a hellhole whatever the language you try to learn ! I did learn german at school and all I remember are a few sentences and christmas songs but the grammar is all forgotten already ugh.. Tried to learn japanese and grammar lost me again. As for finnish I just randomly say stuff and pray it is understandable, not an ounce of knowledge on it’s grammar.
The best way imo is to listen to other people speak the language more than try to learn the basics via grammar, sure it is important but getting the hang of a language by hearing it helps a lot !
Oh and I know a good online site I use as a French to English and vice versa dictionnary ! It’s called Wordreference it helps me quite a lot whenever I have doubts on some word’s meanings or when I remember a word in english but not in my own language…
And yeah, I gave a weird grammatical exception up here in french, that’s partially why hearing a language helps better than trying to understand the grammar first… We also have lots of words with a silent "t" at the end like "chat" (cat) which you pronounce "sha" or "rat" (rat) pronounced "rat" and then you have a few exceptions where the t is not silent all of a sudden like "brut" (crude/variety of champagne/brute)
And why ?? Well because that’s it, no real explanation sometimes….

hi so i was wondering where you learned german because it seems like youre pretty fluent and im really trying to learn it but I can only take it once a semester at my school and i feel like its not working
I’m not fluent by any stretch of the imagination. At my best I think I was somewhere between A2 and B1. Able to have simple conversations and watch kids tv but not able to communicate about complex topics. I’m super out of practice with talking and right now I’m trying to get better at reading.
But where I learned it is a bit messy. I started learning in middle school and high school but stopped my sophomore year. Then I sporadically used free resources online like duolingo and the Deutsch Welle learn German site and other apps. I also made flash cards and read news sites for kids and stuff once in a while.
In the summer between high school and college I stayed with my aunt and uncle who live in Switzerland and have a house in Germany and I had reason to interact with my uncle’s family and for the most part none of them spoke English so I had some practice communicating with people with my cousins helping me get across more complicated ideas.
In college I spent one more year taking German. Since then I’ve gone through long stretches of time not studying it and have dabbled in other languages. I revisit it once in a while using a bunch of different stuff basically to just reverse the decay that happens when I don’t use it for a while. I’m not actively trying to get better at it. Just get back to where I was.
I’ve personally got no ambitions of becoming fluent at this point in my life. There’s not a lot of reason to use it where I live and I’m not on the best of terms with my family in Europe anymore. But I like German generally and I try to at least not get worse at it.
What I generally do when I go back to revisit it is relatively simple and usually goes on for a couple months. I review some stuff on duolingo, I buy a book for kids or language learners that either I’ve already read in English or is about a subject I know a lot about and I read that. I also personally get a lot of mileage out of writing down vocabulary lists. Drilling flash cards doesn’t do much for me but making flash cards is useful. So instead of wasting a bunch of index cards now I just write down vocabulary lists in a notebook every couple of days, either using old flash cards or a list from an online resource or one of the old textbooks I have knocking around.
Watching cooking videos in German is also something I do generally even when I’m not studying it because I just like Sallys Welt, which is a YouTube channel. A very mainstream youtube channel in the German speaking world. But she speaks clearly and is generally likable and I like her videos.
Idk if literally any of that is helpful. I’m super all over the place when it comes to studying. And in my experience thinking that you can use just one method to learn a language just isn’t realistic anyways.

Serious question ( and I hope it’s not offensive, I certainly don’t intend to be offensive…)
As a person with a native language that doesn’t offer many gender neutral terms or pronouns ( German) would it be okay to just use the first name/pseudonym instead?
For example:
Mel likes flowers, Mel likes roses more than other flowers.
What other options would you prefer?
( again, I don’t intend to be offensive, I just want to know what people that have pronouns that won’t work in my native language would be comfortable with me using instead. And I realize that may be different from person to person.)
Hi. I only fluently speak one language so I am not the expert on this topic. I have done some research and I will include other sources to back up what I’m saying here. If anyone who speaks multiple languages wants to chime in on this I would greatly appreciate your input!
So, first of all, there is no good excuse to not use someone pronouns. If someone exclusively uses my name solely to avoid using my pronouns, I find that offensive. That tells me the person either does not believe or support me and my identity, or they are not willing to put in the small effort to learn a new set of pronouns. It can be as simple as googling pronoun usage if you’re unsure about them.
If you’re speaking or typing in English, you should be using someone’s pronouns.
Now, I don’t want to diminish the difficulty of speaking in a language that is not your first. I understand that it is very difficult and it is especially difficult to use neopronouns in another language if you have not been exposed to them before. But you should still try. The easiest way to be an ally to the queer community is to use the language we use for ourselves.
I don’t know how my specific set of pronouns would translate to German because I don’t speak German. Since German and English use the same alphabet, I would recommend just taking the English pronoun and using it in the place where you would use a German pronoun.
There are neopronouns and gender neutral pronouns in German. Again, I do not speak German so I am not claiming to know more than you or to be an expert in this. But I did some searching online and I found multiple sources talking about alternate pronouns in German. I can’t read German, so I am not 100% sure what they say. Some of the websites have an English counterpart that explains neopronouns, so I assume the site is doing the same thing when I switch to German. I am sure there are more German sources for gender neutral pronouns if you look at German queer sources.
Here are some sources you can read to become more familiar with neopronouns in German:
Non-binary pronouns
Pronouns page
Exploring Genderqueer Identity Within Gendered German
It is always best to ask someone directly if you have questions about their pronouns. Some people might be okay with you using their name instead, but I am not. Also, some people prefer no pronouns, so in that case you would use their name like that.
Here is a guide to neopronouns I made to help you learn about them and learn how to practice them.
As long as you’re genuinely trying, I will not be offended if you mess up my pronouns. I know mine can take some time to learn if you have never seen neopronouns before.
But I deserve your effort, and so other queer people.

Private English Conversation Lessons At Your Home in Tokyo
If you are a native or near-native speaker of English, chances are you’ll find opportunities to teach in Japan. The country’s students are eager to learn their native language and many teachers find it rewarding. In addition to English, there are many students interested in learning other languages as well – French, German, Spanish and Italian teachers are in high demand. Check their site to know more details 英会話 個人レッスン.
Most of these teaching jobs can be found in eikaiwa (English conversation schools), which are usually office-like buildings with small classrooms for one-on-one English lessons. Teachers work with students of all ages and levels for about an hour during their workdays.
These private lessons can be difficult for both students and teachers. Students will often be nervous, which makes it more challenging to communicate. However, a teacher can help to ease the stress by speaking slowly, being patient and encouraging the student to speak more.
The teacher must also be aware of how cultural differences may affect the lesson. For example, it is important to keep in mind that Japanese culture values privacy and a teacher should be careful not to intrude on the student’s personal space. Additionally, students might feel uncomfortable with silence, which can be a difficult thing for Westerners to understand and deal with. It is important for the teacher to make sure that the lesson has a clear objective and not allow the student to become lost in irrelevant discussions.
In order to attract and retain students, teachers should be professional at all times. Although it might be tempting to be chummy with students and treat them like friends, this can be a problem for the teacher’s reputation. Students will not be willing to spend money on lessons with teachers who are rude or act inappropriately.
Teaching online is a popular way to earn extra money in Japan. Companies such as Best Teacher, Lyngo and Eigoru hire both native and non-native English speakers with little or no experience.

Salut ma bien-aimée! I have a question about French and learning French stuff for you!
In one of your previous answers to me, you had recommended a site for translations that was better than google translate. I've managed to misplace that answer, would you be able to either link me back to that or re-say it?
And do you know of a site that's like dictionary.com but in French? Like, one types in the word and out pops all the definitions and the pronounciation and etc etc etc?
You said you're happy to be a free resource, so I hope you don't mind my asking too much! Have a good afternoon and I love you very much!
Coucou mon amour <3
The website is Wordreference, french to english or english to french (it's also good for spanish, and maybe German but I've never used it for that). The definitions have context & nuances, and you can look up some phrases, but it's not a super long completely unreadable page. Teachers often recommend it instead of google translate, and they're right to, it IS better. The other site I recommended was the Bescherelle, for conjugation, french kids have a paper version to use in class in middle school but there's a web version too!
For a dictionary, you can use the Wiktionary in french, it also has slang and it's neat, or you can look at the modern dictionaries page of the CNRTL, which links to the 8th and 9th editions of the Académie Française's dictionary (which, fuck the Académie Française, but it should be a pretty complete dictionary), as well as the Trésor de la Langue Française informatisé, which was finished in 94 and is therefore not up to date and never will be again, but is supposed to be pretty complete. The CNRTL also has a section of old dictionaries, if for some reason you want to read old french. Those are best accessed on a computer, they're really not optimised for mobiles. Otherwise, the online version of the Larousse is there, it has audio files for the pronunciation, it's one of the classic paper dictionaries in France, and it's updated every year (you often hear about x slang word entering the Larousse/the Robert and people whining about it because they're cunts)
It's fine, it's my area of expertise in a way so it's good that I can be useful! Thank you and I hope you have a good day as well!! <3 <3 <3

Part 45
Jumping back to mid-2010, in July, my “relationship” with Marie ended. She often became delusional and accusatory when paranoid, and it just got old. She was also very immature in many ways, and I could no longer handle her obsessiveness, the pressure she put on me, and the harsh accusations she’d throw at me when her paranoia flared. If I didn’t respond to the dozens of emails she sent each day within minutes, she would accuse me of plotting against her. Unable to deal with her overbearing nature — and mostly not wanting to — I slowly distanced myself and moved on, leaving her with my best wishes.
I met Marion, who prefers to go by her middle name, Nane, on a language learning site. A German native fluent in English, she has a passion for languages and is studying Greek and Turkish. She’s a beautiful, single, bisexual financial advisor living in Munich.
Feeling guilty for blaming Maliheh for Andy’s pranks, I visited her Facebook page and was surprised to see I hadn’t been blocked. I apologized for accusing her of harassing me on Formspring and explained that I now knew it was an old friend playing with me. They just had terrible timing! I further explained that my recent contact was why I thought she might have been the culprit. I also apologized for a rude comment about her and said I hoped we could move on.
While I didn’t expect to become friends with Maliheh, I longed for that connection. To my surprise, I noticed she was visiting my blog and reading my journal with increasing frequency. I started to open up about my feelings for her, admitting I had handled things poorly in the past but also expressing the hurt I’d felt. Finally, I told her I intended to post the story and asked her to let me know if she had any concerns.
When I began posting the story with us as lead characters a chapter at a time in July, she started checking my blog several times daily. The story was another reality-inspired fiction, like the one I wrote with Stacey.
Over about six months, I left scattered Facebook messages for her, letting her know I was thinking of her, hoping she liked the story, and that I’d love to hear from her. Since she was regularly checking my blog, I suspected she might not hate me after all, but I didn’t expect to hear from her until the story was finished.
But on October 25th, just over five months after my first contact, I did hear from her.
Her first message on my blog explained that she hadn’t contacted me sooner because she’d been advised against it. Then she demanded that while I could keep the story, she wanted her name removed so I changed it as a courtesy to her.
After these comments, I didn’t expect further contact. Yet on November 5th, she messaged me again on Facebook, and to my surprise, we began exchanging emails almost daily. Unlike the exasperation I felt with messages from Marie, I was genuinely excited to hear from Maliheh.
I learned a lot about her, though it was clear she only saw me as a friend. However, she knew I was still attracted to her and didn’t seem to mind.
What’s strange in a cool way about the whole thing is that I have once again jinx-written life into imitating art. The only difference is that this time it is in a good way. We became close at one point in my story. And here we are close in real life.
To wrap up my thoughts on my online connections, I’m still friends with Alison and also with Kim, whom I met through Aly. But along with Aly and Kim came Molly—a rather unhinged individual who has been relentlessly stalking them and everyone in their circle, including me. Despite repeated requests to leave us alone, Molly continues to force herself into our lives, insisting she’s done nothing wrong and just wants to be friends. When things don’t go her way, she sometimes turns nasty. We block her on every site we can, but unfortunately, some platforms have limited or ineffective blocking features, allowing her to bypass these barriers easily.
I’m still in touch with Mitch but haven’t heard from Dorian since he left the old diary site.
Last August, just a few days before her birthday, my sister reached out on Facebook, expressing hope that, while we can’t change the past, we might one day reconnect as sisters. I don’t share that sentiment, but I’ve agreed to at least keep things civil. Truthfully, I don’t wish to associate with someone capable of the things she’s done to me, nor do I feel any connection to her children. I’m no closer to being their aunt than I am to being anyone’s great-grandmother. So, I’m polite but distant.
I have a cousin and fellow writer who has authored several self-help books and has even appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show. I’ve swapped a few messages with her, her sisters, and her mother.
Back to Nane, my gorgeous German friend. Tom read an article that said English speakers find German relatively easy to learn because of structural similarities. Curious if this was true, I signed up for a German course online. Since Nane is a native speaker, she helped correct some of my exercises. I wouldn’t call German particularly easy, especially with its complex grammar rules, but I did find Nane’s profile picture captivating!
With nothing to lose, I privately told her about my feelings, adding my Facebook link and saying I’d love to connect with her there as both a friend and language partner.
When I didn’t hear back for a few weeks, I thought I’d offended her. But she eventually replied, explaining that she hadn’t been offended—just a little surprised. She’d been on vacation in Turkey, celebrating her 50th birthday with eighteen guests and even a belly dancer, which required a lot of planning and cleaning up afterward.
I was stunned to learn she was fifty. I’d pegged her as being in her late thirties to early forties!
We share a deep passion for both languages and music. Interestingly, she’s also bisexual and admitted to being attracted to me. I have to wonder, though—would the attraction be mutual if I weren’t married or if she weren’t halfway around the world?
Alongside German, I’ve also picked up some Esperanto. It’s incredibly easy, even simpler than Spanish.
After a long 22-month haul of unemployment, Tom was finally given a job where they make video equipment in Grass Valley. He works days at $13 an hour, the same as what he was last making in Oregon. But he’s only a temp and we’re hoping that he’s hired on soon so that we can finally have insurance.
In early September, shortly after Tom started working, we got a new rat I named Tinkerboy after Tinkerbell. He is dark brown and has a soft shiny coat like Tinkerbell had. He is a lot like Tinkerbell, though not quite as smart, and a little more destructive. He’s certainly faster and more playful.
We are not sure at this time if we’re going to remain in this trailer until we get a place of our own or rent a bigger, newer, more comfortable place. My guess is we’ll stay here despite how annoying Jesse can get at times.
