Sorry you’re still fighting the good fight vis a vis “chat isn’t a pronoun.” I had a mini epiphany to get closer to wrapping my head around it, so I figured I’d share and you can correct me if I’m wrong.

Like. You talk to chat. You talk to your bro. And you’ll say “chat, which of these games should I play?” But if it was a pronoun that would just be…. Really weird? Like if I’m talking to someone I don’t use their pronoun I use their name or something like “bro”.

I know that the same collection of sounds/letters could be two separate types of words (like dust the noun and dust the verb) but I’m assuming that’s not what’s happening here.

Anyway love your blog! I wish it could just be fun linguistics stuff instead of having to constantly fight lies but here we are.

yeah if i had to boil it down VERY simply i guess i could go with:

a pronoun replaces a noun. what noun is "chat" replacing?

(the answer is none, because chat IS the noun.)

hi 🫶🏽 welcome to round 6 of holiday pals, which i didn’t do last year because not as many people are interested but am bringing back because i hate to see this site losing more and more of its social aspect. it isn’t exactly secret santa in that it’s not christmas related even tho it still follows (almost) the same timeline. the idea is to spread some cheer as the year comes to an end and, ideally, make a new friend—or get to know someone better. 

if u want to participate:

reblog this post to spread the word

fill out this form

make sure you have anon turned on. Please

idc if u follow me but please reblog the post. matching process is always easier when there are more people and the whole thing is just more fun that way. (the only plus side to following me is you’ll see if there’s any updates/changes that u might miss otherwise but fr no pressure)

 (if less than 30 people sign up i will simply pretend this didn’t happen)

timeline:

the form will close on november 29

you will (hopefully) get an email between december 3rd and december 8th

come off anon on january 1st!

what you’ll have to do:

every day (or as many days as possible), send an anonymous message to your pal. keep it light and positive, the goal being to spread some positivity to as many people as possible.

tell them jokes, tell them abt ur day or ask about theirs, swap crush stories, get to know their interests, anything u want

reveal yourself on new year’s!

keep being pals if you so wish 🌟

if u have any questions, either send me an ask (off anon). please don’t spam my inbox asking when i’ll send out emails. it takes multiple days to match people, and then to get through everyone. just be patient. make sure your askbox is open and your email is accessible!!

Not all people with disabilities... (Part 1?)

(Disclaimer: This isn't to put down people who do actually have the severe versions of these disabilities that I mention, this is rather to stop the stereotyping and viewing of disabilities as a black and white thing.)

Not all blind people see absolutely nothing. (Most blind people have some degree of usable vision.)

Not all colourblind people see in black and white. (This is actually one of the rarest forms of colourblindness.) (Also, yes, according to the ADA colourblindness is in fact a disability.)

Not all deaf people live life on mute. (Many deaf people can hear some degree of noise.)

Not all people with autism are children. (Autism isn't a childhood thing that 'goes away,' and autistic kids inevitably grow into autistic adults.)

Also, not all people who use sign language are deaf. (Sign language is used primarily by deaf people, but hearing people may use sign language for other disabilities: Down's syndrome, autism, mutism/selective mutism, etc.)

Not all wheelchair users are paralysed. (A lot of them can stand up when needed, or even walk a few steps if it's a good day!)

Not all people with chronic pain are in 10/10 pain 24/7, but that doesn't make the suffering any less worse. (Although if you do have conditions that cause 10/10 pain take a virtual hug!)

Note: The 1-10 pain scale isn't very disability friendly to begin with, but that's a post for another day.

Not all chronically ill people have flare ups with the same frequency (some may have it every other day, some very rarely or hardly at all). Just because you're not having flare ups that often, your illness isn't any less valid.

Not all people with chronic fatigue sleep a lot. (Fatigue =/= Sleepiness, and many people with chronic fatigue actually have insomnia.)

Not all people with disabilities require visible aids. (Someone's internal suffering isn't defined by whether society deems that they 'look sick' or not.)

Not all people with mutism make no sound at all (People with selective mutism can speak normally in some situations, and even fully mute people may be able to make some form of noise.)

Also, SELECTIVE MUTISM =/= JUST BEING SHY. The name is a bit misleading, because we don't 'choose' with free will which situations we can and can't speak in, per se.

Disabled people don't owe you politeness. (We're allowed to have bad days, we're allowed to be miserable, and what seems 'rude' to you might actually be a bad flare up. Sometimes we just need to be left alone.)

Lastly, not all people with disabilities are officially diagnosed with a disability.

('Just get a diagnosis' is incredibly ableist. The fact that it's a lot of disabled people themselves pushing these sentiments is just drawing back our community as a whole. Not all people are in a financially, socially, or emotionally well enough situation to seek professional help. On top of that, the healthcare system sucks so bad that it's not surprising that some people just avoid seeing the doctor altogether. A disabled person doesn't have to have an arbitrary label to make their disability valid. Although getting a diagnosis can be a very validating experience for disabled people, it is by NO MEANS the be all and end all.)

Are you all still enjoying all the jily goodness and fun events that @jilytoberfest is giving us? We hope you are, and, if not, it's very worth it to check out their blog for all the amazing fics and art and bingos and masquerade guessing games!

Even if you just want to read and admire the jily fics and art, there's a dozen ways to be involved and the whole event is a great way to spread the jily love a little more ;-)

That being said... there's just eleven more days (timezone dependent of course) until November is here and with it a new Jilychallenge to participate in.

Like flared jeans, bangs and rectangular glasses, love to return once in a while, so do our most beloved tropes. So get ready for a month of Jilychallenges themed around the most nostalgic tropes out there (one bed, Friends scared to confess feelings, Order Jily sent on a mission posing as a married couple on honeymoon, Amortentia, dangers in the dungeons, working together on a class assignment, Quidditch accidents and confessions in the hospital wing, lost in the Forbidden Forest, Jily accidentally meeting in the Muggle world (on holiday), Jily getting a cat, etc, etc.)

We would love to hear what tropes in jily stories you loved (guilty pleasures and all, bring it on! Send your faves in the ask box or pm)

If you would like to join the fun, reblog this post and add what you want to create in the tags (for instance, #writing, #oneshot, #art, #playlist, #moodboard etc) before the 31st of October 2024.

You will be assigned a partner but you are not required to create something together, it is just meant to be a way to help each other out, have fun, meet new jily fans.

Your prompt (that you share with your partner) will be sent to you through Tumblr DMs or via Discord (send us a DM if you'd like an invite)

When you post your work please remember to tag us @jilychallenge and your partner. If you're on AO3 please add your work to our Ao3 collection, have fun!

HAVE FUN, sharing is caring (just add signalboost or no tags and we will not sign you up)

[ominous-signs]

dunno if this counts as an ominous sign but I went up a hill today and there were cows and cows terrify me for…reasons and so when I got back I fell into this apple juice induced fever dream which included the hill at night with a sign in it that was a head of a cow with the words ‘they feed’ under it. I might draw it for you too

It would count, I’d LOVE to see it drawn!

[rimonoroni2]

you have to stop wishing you were born different and start being the person you wish you were. you have to nurture your burgeoning selfhood or he dies with you. this is your fucking life. act like it

Wine for the prompt game!

"Your margarita still taste like foot sweat by the way. Go to the uptown bar and you might learn a thing or two."

"But you don't go to the uptown bar. You go here. I assume to bitch about margarita to my face over and over again or is there something more?"

[marlynnofmany]

Hey artists, sign your art. When I save a picture because it's beautiful and I want to look at it again later, I'd love to remember who drew it. I save things for years. If I see something else amazing by the same artist later, I'll be delighted!

But if I don't know who drew it, then that's just one more mystery of the internet.

[pinacoladamatata]

I can feel my time with you all coming to an end...,.

I want you to know that what we had was real (I have loved this horrible and chaotic return to solavellan hell)

I will never forget you (I will still be here lurkin)
