Your sim has quit their corporate job in exchange for a simpler life. By following in the footsteps of their late grandfather, they are hoping to fix up the old farm and learn some new skills. Taking over their grandfather’s old farm is no simple task as the Farm and Community Centre are in disarray. Completing these tasks will surely make their Grandfather proud. Wait, this sounds like Stardew Valley, but it’s in the Sims? ━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━ ◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━ ◦○◦━◦○◦━ Hey! LeeBee here! I decided to make this challenge when the new Sims 4 expansion Cottage Living came out! My goal was to recreate Stardew Valley gameplay in The Sims 4.

Never Enough

When you are a child, you're encouraged to do as much as you want to do. To try and learn, to find what you like and what you don't like.

When you become a teenager, that freedom slowly starts to melt away. You have to focus so hard on your education, extra curricular, part time job possibly, house work. You find that there is no time for you to be you.

Then you reach adulthood. You have expectations now. Job, family, bills, household. Congratulations, you don't exist anymore, you've become part of an ant colony.

But what if that was a lie.

Just because you transition to another stage of your life, doesn't mean things you like doing, things that make you who you are become irrelevant. You've actually become more relevant now than when you were younger.

Pick up a pen. Read a book. Stroke that paint brush. Sing that song at the top of your voice.

If you think you are never enough, take a deep breath and remember, the world hasn't met you yet and until it does, you are enough.

Hi. I really enjoy your fanfiction Monster Under the Bed, but it's really hard to find all the parts. Would you mind posting the links to all the parts (preferably on the same post) please?

You can find all parts now on my Wattpad :)

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

I don't draw. I would like to learn and get better but this was something I had wanted to do for a really long time. I'm just glad I actually did it, though I know it's not great.

A historic synagogue near Kraków, Poland, was mostly destroyed by Nazis during World War II, but a secret hoard of precious ritual objects that was hidden there remained undetected and undisturbed — until now.

Recently, restorers at the Old Synagogue, an 18th-century temple in Wieliczka, Poland, unexpectedly found a cache of Jewish artifacts and other silver items in a large, wooden crate that had been concealed under the floor. They uncovered the crate while digging a hole to test the soundness of the building’s foundation, the Jewish Chronicle reported.

The box — which measures about 3 feet high, 2 feet wide and 4 feet long (80 by 70 by 130 centimeters) — was crammed with around 350 objects, including a silver goblet with flowery designs, bronze vases inscribed with Hebrew writing and silver-plated candlesticks, according to the Chronicle.

Also among the artifacts were two menorahs (nine-armed candelabras that are lit during Hanukkah), two rimonim (decorative ornaments that crown a Torah scroll) and an ornate silver plaque that hung at the front of a Torah, Polish news outlet Gazeta Wyborcza reported. On the plaque were raised images of lions on pillars holding a crown over the Ten Commandments, and an attached silver chain led to a yad, a ritual pointer used for reading the Torah.

Time had rotted the wooden frame of the hidden box, but the objects inside, packed tightly together, were in good condition. Most of them are thought to date to the 19th century and would have been used in religious rituals, though there were some unusual exceptions: 18 badges from military caps of infantry officers in the Austro-Hungarian army. The badges bore the initials of Austro-Hungarian emperor Franz Joseph, who ruled from 1848 until 1916, according to Gazeta Wyborcza.

One possible explanation is that military caps were used to line the box and protect the ritual objects at the time when they were packed up and buried. But the fabric later rotted away, leaving only the badges behind, Michał Wojenka, a researcher with the Jagiellonian University Institute of Archaeology and leader of the investigation of the artifacts, told Gazeta Wyborcza.

When the box was hidden and who concealed it remain unknown. However, further investigation of the religious artifacts could reveal clues about individuals in Wieliczka’s Jewish community, as ritual objects are often inscribed with the names of the people who donated them, according to the Chronicle.

Approximately 1,135 Jews lived in Wieliczka according to records from the 1920s, but most of the community was deported and murdered during World War II, and few who survived returned to the city after the war ended, the Chronicle reported.

If you like something you read and want to read more: comment.

It doesn’t have to be long.  It doesn’t need proper punctuation.  

Heck, it doesn’t even have to be coherent.

Nothing works faster at quieting the self-doubts and poking at the wayward muses.

Even if a writer cannot answer you quickly, I assure you, they will remember your name… and your kindness.

reblog this if you’re jewish or your blog is a safe space for jewish people

in light of recent events as well as a new rise in creating nazi ocs I think this post is an important one to have on your blog if you stand behind your jewish followers or are jewish yourself.

If you heard of writer’s block, get ready for reader’s block. You want to read. You have time. You know what to read; how have a pile of books ready to be read. You cannot sit still and focus enough to do so or you can’t even open the book.

[emeraldmelody]

OBJECTION! I CAN confirm that Thomas DOES leave his FILTHY underwear on the floor after TEARING them off the MOMENT his guests leave the house!

Objection! Judges cant object!

Neither can the jury.
