Two universal constants of high fantasy living:
If something falls into ruin a necromancer will move in 100% of the time
There is a critical mass of gold that will summon a dragon. If you keep accurate records and stay below it you’ll be fine

Hey kids, take it from an old forest hag: it's totally okay to half-ass your hobbies
... trace that picture for your journal
... like old cars without knowing how to fix them
... watch the movies without reading the comics
... super glue the part of the model
... learn one (1) way to make a braid
... watch how-to videos for every step of the recipe
... google every second word in that article
... use the automatic setting on your camera
And don't be ashamed. Real life isn't school. The all or nothing mentality is not healthy. Don't gate-keep yourself from stuff that might be fun. Shrug, grin, and hold eye contact with a boomer while you do it. It's good I promise.

How fucking annoying is it when you feel so restless with creative energy but you can’t decide what to do with it and when you finally try to create something it comes out shit so you just give up and sit there being all creatively annoyed and jittery.

There is no actual, tangible reason why we allow people to starve, to be homeless, to suffer and die needlessly. Food is plentiful. Empty homes are plentiful. Medicine is plentiful. It’s hidden away behind constructs and we pretend those constructs mean something. There is an empty home and a homeless family, give them it. There is a sick child and common medicine to treat it, give it to them. There is a starving person and so much food wasted by corporations or hidden behind a dollar sign, feed them.

I think one of the most harmful things I learned growing up was this notion that history exists in a different realm than the present; that the world is basically "fully formed" now and history was the world "still cooking." I think this kind of ideology makes it really easy to dismiss protests, because to people (especially those with privilege) who haven't critically examined the way they learned history, it seems like there is a fundamental divide between the righteous protests that brought us to where we are now and anything that happens in the present.
Through this lens things like:
"Slavery was 150 years ago, get over it!" Actually kind of make sense. I mean, if the world is fully formed now, doesn't that mean racism is over? So any further attempt to correct it would be the real problem in the present, Anti-white Racism!
So what do we do? Well, first of all, for my fellow educators, developing assignments where students think about how the events of today might look in a history book could be a good place to start (helping them draw the connection that the current moment in history is not somehow special or different from any other)
So that's a band-aid that would be easy to implement quickly, but what about deeper systemic change?
In a broader sense, I think we really need to restructure the way we teach history in a way that creates a focus on modern events and the historical context that leads up to them. Each unit could tackle a different social issue, tracing how that issue evolved over time. For example, if we wanted to talk about the George Floyd protests, we could have a whole unit about the history of anti-black racism in America. Or for a unit about climate change, you could start at the industrial revolution and talk about how environmental justice has changed over time.

Oh my god... starting a new job you’re entirely qualified for, but it’s a new workplace so... “copy” social que’s so you don’t seem weird in this new society of “workplace”
anyone else get the constant fear that there are unspoken social rules you dont know about (especially in new situations, like when i first started taking the bus, i was afraid i was doing it wrong lol) so youre just always on edge and kind of… watching how other people act so you can copy the “correct” thing to do

I feel personally attacked while I should be studying for a physics exam instead of doing all the other things except studying.
When you're ADHD and something gets you riled up it's like interdimensional beings come up behind you while you're distracted and slurp your extra time up with a silly straw

That rabbit/hare post is messing me up. I’d thought they were synonyms. Their development and social behavior are all different. They can’t even interbreed. They don’t have the same number of chromosomes. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and coyotes can mate with each other and have fertile offspring but rabbits and hares cant even make infertile ones bc they just die in the womb. Wack.

You’re able to call your parents “Mom” and “Dad”. They were not born with those names.
You’re able to call your teachers “Mr” or “Mrs” and their last name. You’d get in trouble if you addressed them by first name.
You’re able to call a celebrity by their chosen stage name.
You’re able to call your friends a shortened version of their name, their middle name instead of their first, or a completely random nickname.
You’re able to call a married woman by her husband’s last name, even though she was not born with that last name.
But when someone’s transgender, how does calling them by a name they were not born with somehow become a hassle?

Boost please!



hey since apparently some people didn’t know this
if your family is low income, you can take your sat for free – twice!
and as a bonus, you can waive 4 college application fees. so like if a college you wanna apply to has a $20 fee, you can use one of your freebies to not have to pay that. four times. that means you can apply to at least 4 colleges (more if you can find ones with free applications) for no cost at all.
check in with your guidance counselor and see if you qualify – at my school, we qualify if we’re on free or reduced price lunch. my waiver had 2 free act’s included too.
boosts appreciated! a lot of people don’t know about this and it can save you a lot of much-needed money. tell your friends. tell your friends’ friends
and this is all directly from the college board website so it’s legit
