Me: oh yeah, if you think school photography is hard now, try imagining doing this with film.

The new girl: what’s film?

Me: … film. Like… film that goes in a film camera.

New girl: what’s that mean?

Me: … before cameras were digital.

New girl: how did you do it before digital?

Me:… with film? I haven’t had enough coffee for this conversation

How to show emotions

Part I

How to show annoyance

slightly shaking their head

rolling their eyes

looking to the side

closing their eyes for a moment

sighing

taking a deep breath

clucking their tongue

huffing

crossing their arms in front of their chest

tapping their foot

How to show hurt

turning away

avoiding eye contact

closing eyes

lips pressed together

eyes filled with tears

breathing deeply

How to show anger

clenching their fists

pressing their lips on each other

breathing loudly through their nose

eyes getting smaller

clenching their teeth

clenching their jaw

looking away to calm themselves

speaking with clenched teeth

whole body is tense

screaming

throwing things around

stomping

moving around a lot, can’t keeping still

open body language, like they are ready to attack

frown wrinkles on their forehead

prominent veins

grabbing someone they are angry with to get them to understand why they are angry

becoming violent

non-stop talking, ranting

shaking their head

throwing their arms in the air

eyes either going from one point to another while ranting or completely fixating on the person they are angry with

How to show excitement

jumping up and down

not being able to stand still

clapping their hands

bright eyes

grinning

squealing

giggling

flushed face

bouncing

dilated pupils

tapping their foot

How to show boredom

biting nails

leg bouncing

sighing

playing with everything close by

twiddling your thumbs

spinning around

grumbling

staring into the distance

propping your head on your hand

Part II + Part III

CIS PEOPLE DO NOT INTERACT

cis people are so stupid and so focused on cis normativity that they cannot comprehend trans joy or trans people just feeling understood. i was trying to tell my sister that allan from the barbie movie unintentionally summarized the transmasc experience and she genuinely could not understand what i was talking about because allan wasn't trans. and when i said "i know. i don't think he was supposed to be trans but a male character who is better friends and more comfortable with female characters and is noticeably out of place and isolated from other men in a more masculine and overly macho setting is exactly what i experience as a trans man." and her response was literally just "but he isn't trans"

Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard to get rid of it!

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0) youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, []) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

reblog to help keep the internet less annoying and to tell corporations that try shit like this to go fuck themselves <3

I didn't touch the stuff till I was sixteen.

My parents were gently but firmly against caffeine intake, which didn't stop me from drinking copious amounts of green tea(loose leaf, no less).

Then, I reached the late teens, and my unusually liberal indian parents had started giving me a good bit of autonomy. The caveat here- keep your piano classes up and your grades straight.

For those of you unfamiliar with pan-asian education systems- rigour is a watchword, rote is the only method.

Finding myself coming off the sugar addictions of a few years prior, and a quickly done away with smoking habit, I found the need for stimulus.

There was, in my house(as I have come to suspect of most family pantries), a jar of Nescafe kicking around.

Sugary, milky and strong, in a little red cup- high school was marked by early math mornings and late coffee nights.

Now, I work between a french press, a moka pot and a vietnamese filter.

Coffee is less a stimulant now, more a ritual of an adult finding their own patterns of sanity in a chaotic and insecure world.

People who drink coffee: why did you start?

I don't drink coffee and I've never wanted to, but that's obviously ~not normal~, so I'm curious why most people do start drinking it.

Me: They still like me. Thank God.

I pray in 2023 I am more organized, focused, driven, motivated, smarter, wealthier, and healthier. Do more things that feel fulfilling on a soul level. Alchemize every negative emotion and experience and trust it works out in my highest good. I romanticize life because the beauty we see in everything is a reflection of the beauty we see in ourself. 🍀

btw. the way you walk way you talk way you say my name. it’s beautiful wonderful don’t you ever change. if you even care

telemetry doesn’t lie. he goes on throttle meters before everyone else, even before his own previous laps. if that’s not enough for you, he also doesn’t bother to counter steer which every driver does instinctively to prevent a crash — the most blatant evidence that he had no intention of saving it.

let’s put that into plainer words. perez cheated in monaco. the only thing he deserves is a DSQ, and certainly not respect from his teammate.

he chose to fuck over his team and his teammate because he couldn’t cope with the fact that he’s simply not good enough. at a time when the championship was still very close.

perez is the selfish one. perez is the one who put his team in a untenable situation. he has none of my sympathy and all of my scorn.

btw RBR, max told you where he stood, what he would not be willing to do. you asked him anyway, and all he did was remain a man of his word. so have some shame too.

sometimes I think I'm terrified of being happy because when those moments end it leaves me feeling so drained and empty and hollow to know it won't happen again one day these people will leave and then one day that building won't exist and there will be nothing in the world to remind me that I was really just that happy. except me. except the fact that it's etched into my heart, another tally mark for something that was perfect and finite

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

[hyphenbasu]

my friend told me last night that he gets girls to come back to his place by telling them “oh i can’t wait to go home and have some stew” and “i’m so hungry, good thing i have stew at home” and it’s worked every time
