It's so cruel that if a black schizophrenic person wants any kind of help, they probably have to call 911, a centralized line for all emergency services. Even if they don't intend to call the police, there's a chance of them being sent in place of other emergency services. If you ask for them not to be called, you'll rarely be listened to. Then, the advice for dealing with police is to be in complete control of yourself, not be erratic in the slightest way because it gives ground for your death. So if you are someone who is not in control of yourself, who has a disorder that effects your ability to control your speech, body, mind, etc etc, you cannot call for help without risking death or institutionalization

#on a classical kick#want to learn more#*mozart’s should say symphony no. 41#**classical in the non-technical sense. what people think of generally when they say ‘classical music’#and several of these are too early or too late to be technically classical#music#polls#was excluding movie scores and#I’m thinking of longer pieces I guess. not 5 minute segments although I don’t really have a great argument for that either#also was not including opera — I could make a separate one for that#but again that exclusion is a bit arbitrary since I do have a coulle ballets here and choral stuff. idk.#couple*

ok but what if we normalize having a party where you dress up & are the center of attention & all your friends congratulate you on your divorce. more unhappy couples would hurry up and pull the plug, i will bet you
#kinda crazy how our wedding-obsessed capitalist culture pressures couples to over-commit & marry before building healthy foundations#'putting on a fancy dress and being celebrated on your special day' sounds so harmless but we teach young girls that it's#something you have to 'earn' by marrying some guy. ANY guy. by an arbitrary deadline of like 27 or whatever#and if you don't get married or get married too late? no party for you!!!#that's insane and we should talk about it more#babe you don't want a wedding you want a quinceañera

you really need to raise your standards for what's considered "a phrase" because if it only makes sense in the specific context of the post it was originally found in and it isn't repeatable in other situations, that's not a phrase that has entered the lexicon, that's just something someone said one time.
i started this thing last week i need all the posts i can handle
What doesn't alter your vocabulary may alter, or may have already altered, someone else's. This is not about adding to The General Lexicon - I have an entire tag for things that change this site as a whole, which has a higher bar; this is largely about novelty and humor. This is us curb-stomping whatever the fuck we want into the right form for our needs, whatever those needs may be, including altering aspects of the phrase to fit the necessary format or context. It's a linguistic shotgun.
its my fuckin blog bitch ill shit where i want
#vaps.ask#i use 'phrase added to inventory' to reflect that these are things that may change someone's personal lexicon or that already have#also everything on this site is something someone said one time.#also keep in mind i do not genuinely hate you anon. i'm just slightly flabbergasted that someone comes in#and critiques a gimmick blog that i started Last Wednesday#with clearly arbitrary guidelines and nominations#like...why do you expect quality. you're setting yourself up for failure here#it's a grab bag. a random draw

"The camera was positioned in a storage yard 66 metres away."
Or, in other words, 73 yards.
#technically 73 yards is about 66.7 metres#but who the hell would include the exact decimal when talking about an arbitrary distance#you would just say the whole#doctor who#15th doctor#dw spoilers#ncuti gatwa#the legend of ruby sunday#73 yards#ruby sunday#millie gibson

Vibes based grading system.
(for @epistemologys, who wanted some post-canon, teacher WWX)
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#Thank you for participating in the raffle and for your patience! This was a really fun prompt!#I always loved it when teachers had bonus questions on assignments and tests. Especially if they were fun!#WWX strikes me as the type to have bonus assignments - but also his own chaotic system of what does and doesn't get a point.#Note; not arbitrary. It makes sense to him and anyone who's been around him long enough.#When one has to deal with a lot of things to grade it really does make a difference when something (positive or negitive) stands out.#(especially papers...oh god...shared essay topic grading is a special hell)#He would care that they understand the principals of what he's teaching. He'd also value students thinking outside of the box.#WWX would be hard to argue and *win* against but if the attempt is good enough? I think you'd have his respect and a little bonus point.#I like the idea of post-canon teachers wangxian. Grading papers together can be a love language.#Perhaps it is just a beautiful ending for a character to be able to rest and have stability.#This isn't what being a teacher is like. But in comparison to how WWX was living before? Peace and quiet.

its so fucking absurd how necro cav marriage is frowned upon as if getting married is somehow more inappropriate than whatever the fuck silas and colum have going on. ianthe tridentarius has the legitimate in-universe grounds to look at magnus and abigail and think "wow how unnatural. thank god I'm normal"
#tlt gender studies#a genuinely great analogy for homophobia though#bc its an arbitrary rule meant to preserve exploitative systems of power#but its also so fucking funny#the locked tomb#tlt#gideon the ninth#ianthe tridentarius

*for the purposes of this poll, "ears pierced" refers to a "standard" lobe piercing, in the middle of the lobe
i'm asking b/c everyone i grew up with who was AFAB got their ears pierced at birth, but i know it's not universal!
#sb and l rambles#polls#idk if these buckets make any sense -- they are basically totally arbitrary#the first bucket being 0 to 5 years is intended to be ''ages where it's generally the parent's choice''

the absolute state of neopian transgender healthcare
#spitblaze says things#neopets#the 'rarity' is not listed because as far as i can tell its completely arbitrary across items#this 15m potion doesnt even break 100 rarity and restocks in-shop for 10k#if the rarity has an actual metric of consistency its completely detached to the broader inter-player market

Full respect to mxtx and her apparent tall people kink but as much as I believe it's her right to make every single character a fucking tree, I strongly disagree with jiang cheng's canon height being 185cm. Than man should be 179cm exactly. Just barely shy of 180cm. I think even if you do not grow up with an inferiority complex topping out at this height legally requires you to develop it.
179 cm, incidentally, translates to 5'10.5" if my online sources are to be believed. Which, in a beautiful alliance of cross-measurement system solidarity, is also a perfect height to be deeply insecure about! If someone asks you how tall you are and you answer 5'10.5" you sound desperate. But if you round up to 5'11" you are technically lying about your height and any loose shixiong within ear shot may loudly call you out on it, making you look even more desperate. You can't win. Just like Jiang Cheng.
#mdzs#jiang cheng#everyone else can remain beanpoles just to make things harder for jc#If he was 5'11“ that's 181 cm#which may be cause for height insecurity in the us but is perfectly fine in the rest of the world that uses normal numbers.#179cm gives you insecurity no matter HOW you count#nhs will pat jiang cheng's pack and declare the two of them the short king club and jiang cheng will explode#he is WELL ABOVE AVERAGE!!!#THESE CUTOFFS ARE COMPLETELY ARBITRARY#and no one will listen to him
