Me every time I note a possible tongue tie and get it right:

[assbuttsfromgallifrey]

I have now been practicing as a speech pathologist since the end of February and it's going really well!

I still always talk about the above post when people are talking about whether or not they can roll their /r/.

My brother maintains that you can learn it, and he's probably right, but man would it be hard.

wait your tags cut out in the post with the baby asking about the light bulb pls keep going it was interesting, also anything else you wanna say as a speech pathologist is cool af too

Hey!

Basically, not totally related to that post, but when you're a baby, you hear all the different human noises around you and your brain goes "oh hey, it's going to be necessary for me to be able to make that sound at some point" and it starts to figure out the motor plans it needs to get your tongue, lips, soft palate etc to make those sounds. After a certain critical period, if your baby brain hasn't heard the sound enough, it goes "eh, we don't need to know how to do this".

So if you think about languages that require you to be able to roll your 'r' sounsd. If you haven't grown up hearing enough people around you rolling their 'r's, you quite likely won't physically be able to do it. Which means you might suck at French.

You can still learn how to understand and speak the language. But your brain doesn't learn motor patterns and languages as easily as an adult as it does when you're a kid.

Babies are sponges.

I'm not a Speech pathologist yet, but only have a few more weeks until my last exams!! Super excited!

Feel free to ask me questions, I get very excited about speech and language these days.

5 Things To Do While Waiting For An Autism Evaluation

Mrs Speechie P

[impossiblesuitcase]

When it’s Cinder’s coronation as empress, I envision Kai saying his lil speechy speech with the classic smile meant only for her, he places the crown gently on her head and after, brushes his hands down the sides of her face to then tilt her chin up a bit and he whispers or mouthes that he loves her

Her coronation day is so special to me <3 honestly I don't think much about their wedding but I do think about her coronation. Because Kai marrying her is one thing, but for him to entrust his country, his people in her hands is even weightier. I definitely think he gets a bit teary and everything that you said and then once she's been crowned she gives him an against-protocol hug.

I also have Cinder's coronation outfit fully designed in my mind but I am no artist.

I respect this man's opinion a lot as a small-d democrat even though this is actually the first piece I read from him in the topic of Jewish politics and antisemitism.

I don't necessarily agree with his views here but I think he articulates well something many American Jews who are markedly not antizionist but also markedly anti-Trump, have been trying to say about the Trump's admin and its American nationalist/white nationalist-adjacent ecosystem.

Just a thought provoking read and interesting to share I think, because the far-right is not the only actor in the Trump administration but it certainly has a significant power quota in his new mandate, that obviously does empower antisemites.

What it makes me reflect on as a European is the shape eternal antisemitism often took in nations- Judeophobic rhetoric used by populists often preceded by the discursive association of Jewishness and power (often the power of Christian monarchs, or nobility, as in the case of Poland). The dogwhistles of globalism, liberal elites, media, the octopus/Kraken basically, bla bla. "Shalom Khalil" is not like a casual thing, and Trump is a political animal, so the point about confusion and dividing communities is very on-point.

Divide and you will conquer under plausible deniability, amplify antisemitic voices in free-speechy patriot circles while at the same time validating the idea there is jewishness around state power - anti-elite narratives, moral panics precede every major dispossession of a scapegoat in history. As Snyder often states, 'history doesn't repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes'.

Who I'd want to be captain of 118 in order:

Eddie Diaz. My first choice. He's already got the personality for it, wears Big Damn Hero energy like a glove. Good at thinking in a crisis, great at delegating, has a great balance of being authoritative and comradely at the same time.

Henrietta Wilson. She's my second choice, distant second tbh. Can hold authority, but loses her comradely vibe. She would also lose her partnership with Chim, which is one of my favorite on-screen dynamics. And she's too speechy. There, I said it; she gets on that soap box too often and for too long.

Chimney Han. Giving a speech in the 11th hour is not justification for being captain imo. It felt like such heavy-handed Writer Interference that it actually took me out the story tbh. He was awful at being captain in the past, totally loses his chill vibe, which is one of my favorite things about him. He also loses his on-screen partnership with Hen.

Evan Buckley. He's completely unfit to be captain. In literally every way possible. The only reason he's on this list is that it would be fun to watch him struggle. A good Buck struggle is always quality screen time. Especially when he turns to Eddie for help.

7. How do you choose which POV to write from? (Especially for starbucks)

25. What fic do you wish you got more of a response on?

26. Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

39. Share a snippet from a WIP

aw wow! People never ask me questions on here.

let’s see number 7. Honestly I tried to come up with a better answer than this but it’s just the vibe of the thing. The first story was really just a response to “Clint Barton shows up 15 minutes late with Starbucks” insert Troy with the pizza meme that was out in the ether post his absence in Winter Soldier. I decided to try making myself write from Natasha’s perspective after the Clint heaviness in marketplace etc but in the Starbucks sequel I just wanted to imagine/ write down the Robert Downey jr voice in my head reacting to spy kid 3D. And then they all joined in. Clint’s voice is my most comfortable place to be Natasha, Cap, Maria, Jarvis the least but I think that’s because being that fucking competent seems heptapod level alien.

25: I wish people read unfinished business more… it was my first story in the marvel space and my second fanfic ever. And I still kinda like imagining it’s running in the background of the avengers… and it could have too if not for that pesky Joss Whedon. I also I’m proud of my Game of thrones fic. It was an attempt to self sooth and I think it turned out rather well all things considered.

26. I’m not sure I do wild rides I’m definitely not much of a plot writer. I tend to focus on small intimate character moments. Probably because I suck even more at the other stuff, possibly because being a speech pathologist I’m better at getting voices of characters ‘right’ than I am at making things happen. But I am proud at how I salvaged age of ultron for the rewriting in Market Place and how much I was able to reuse, reduce, recycle might be surprising to readers.

39. So my clinic shut down suddenly in September. If you are Australian I will just say this about it. The NDIS and in particular the Government have been making it harder and harder to work as a paediatric disability clinician and hell bent on telling our clients that it’s because we are rorting the system. I didn’t want my clients to loose their therapeutic alliance and a speechie that has known them most of their lives so I started my own sole trading. It’s long hours, crazy stress and I don’t even know if I will be able to afford the audit come 2025 but for now my kiddos are safe and getting therapy. All the govt has managed to do is privatise the old block grant system and lie about choice and control and that’s all I have to say about that. As a result I’ve got no real WIPs but I have this… you can see that I write dialogue first.

If you’ve come to tell me I’ve besmirched my honour, that the castle is in an uproar… I care not. 

Your grace. 

Ser Davos I am no princess. 

The laws of the realm say

So Tyrion Lannister crowns my brother and frees the north for my sister and now I am smothered by titles? I knew I should have killed that-

Id never really thought about it like that Milady. Allow an old man a small courtesy? I accepted my title for services to Stannis Baratheon. Plenty of times I thought better of it but I did it for those who came after me. Lord Gendry well he doesn’t say, quiet sort that he is -

Surly 

As you say, but i think I’m right in saying he had similar thoughts. I don’t think either of us thought that there might be others on the other side of it. Born to the titles and the power and wanting none of it, wanting to be rid of it. 

He is a good lad lady Arya. Give him longer. He can’t stay this angry for long. 

I can’t stay ser Davos

Forgive me but I’ve lived longer on decking than I have on dry land or had till your brother made me hand. The tides they come again. Like circles they are. Why not tarry even if he’s determined to make himself unpleasant. 

He doesn’t have to put effort into that. He’s had it mastered for years. You are married Ser, children? 

Aye My Lady

Seriously Army?

So she's back home and she's ready to rant and give answers and let you rant with me cause what on earth?

Okay So Jimin had a schedule in Budapest, he left on the 16th which got fuckers panties in a twist because why oh why would Jimin go to the same country JK went to? Didn't you know Budapest is exclusive to JK and JK only? But fear not, a few hours later they were celebrating again because "Jimin will be away for GOLDEN Live on stage" Uhm okay.

Comes the 18th and Jimin is going back home, guess what?

Right.. Because how fucking dare Jimin goes back to his HOME COUNTRY WHERE HIS PLACE IS, HOW DARE HE? THAT VIXEN!! But yeah gotta love the dedication in manifesting Jimin's presence in JK's GOLDEN Live in stage performance. Anygays..

Damn if you do, damn if you don't. So they're unhappy that Jimin went to Budapest but they're also unhappy that he's going back home.. Exactly how do you make these people happy? We don't know, actually we do they absolutely despise Jimin's existence and the ideal for them is him staying 7 countries away from JK..

MOVING ON, comes d-day of the performance, Joon is there, absolutely adorable, in his whole hotness and cuteness, then someone mentions that apparently according to K-army Jimin was there, well.. False alarm that of course got deleted later (rightfully so) when they got the correct information. But that was enough to rile up that cult which led to this

(Stole this from jikookreports)

All that from a false alarm too, they didn't even wait for it to be confirmed or anything just the mention of Jimin there was enough to have them foaming at the mouth. Which then was followed by this

(Stole this from Keira on Twt)

Which ended up being complete bullshit but of course Army hyped it up took it as a fact despite it being unverified news and despite the fact that k-media has been bullshitting on many things before but before i continue.. Notice how none of Joon or Tae's presence in JK's event seem to bother people? Like yes, them being there means they love their maknae, their baby star candy and want to support him but Jimin being there means he's a leech and can't stay home for once. Lovely.

Moving on and this is the cherry on top, this dumb ass, this wet sock, this lab rat, posted this

Now if the previous post wasn't enough of a lie this uncultured twat decided to make up a whole ass au out of that previous lie and of fucking course 12.4K (now probably more) of "smart" Army ate that shit up.

Mind you this post is still up and OP thought it was funny to keep it up and add this

So not only homeboy Tae was busy today, as seen here

Joon also mentioned that other members, which logically would be Vmin, have a shoot today, which means both weren't there. But this motherfucker was proud about spreading misinformation DURING THE LIVE not even after but decided it was a good idea to post some bullshit before even the live ended so basically disrupting people's attention and creating some whack ass drama instead of focusing on the performance that JK worked hard for.

Now if you did watch the live you know that JK pointed to Joon and asked to give him the mic to give a lil speechy speech, so are you now insinuating that JK is a dick for not acknowledging Tae's presence and only acknowledging Joon? Literally nothing about that post is a cute joke, not the timing of it, not the obvious lie when my boy Tae wasn't even there, just.. How very inconsiderate do you have to be? If YOU don't care about the live then it's on YOU, keep your childishness to yourself and if you still wanna make sick jokes, out of respect, wait for that live to fucking end.

Some people are on the TL while watching the live to hopefully catch some live translations as those offered with the live can be a bit off for now, so having to scroll through your tl and then you come across this shit? I don't know why it is so normalized to hate on Jimin and to disrespect JK, exactly what did this fandom become? Is it that hard to appreciate these boys without creating so much drama, so much hate, so much chaos?

I'm seriously very disappointed, as always, in ARMY cause if that was coming from the cult only then it's nothing new but then again at this point, at this rate, is it even something new that ARMY are engaging in loads of fuckery? No.. Not at all really.

Grow the fuck up.

Recently I’ve been feeling quite a bit of guilt and slightly inept because the school year is drawing to a close and I still have outstanding speech/language referrals. So today, I counted the referrals I’ve addressed between initial speech only, academic, and reevaluations and it’s over 30. Probably more since there were a few I didn’t have on my list. So I’ve assessed over 30 small children. Many both speech and language, requiring multiple sessions and many with challenging behaviors that extend said testing time.

Do I wish that I didn’t have any left to screen/test? Absolutely. But it does make me feel a bit better.

Another TV show idea poll

and no I didn't just make this one because of the circumstances and it having a political idea with a better president

Either way;

Some additional notes that couldn't fit in the poll blank

the faerie lawyer thing would be intended to provide a law counterpart to shows like Lucifer where supernatural-being-in-semi-disguise helps the cops and/or a fantasy counterpart (but that doesn't mean all its cases would be fantastical sometimes the fantasy would be reserved for the B-plot) to She-Hulk's whole superhero law thing, and I thought there's some obvious reasons why a faerie would be a good choice for the kind of supernatural being at the center of a lawyer show and not just all the puns you could make in potential title or tagline or w/e about "fair folk". Also my idea for this show is part of why I'm glad Elsbeth's eponymous show is a detective show as if she was still lawyering she'd be similar-enough-for-people-to-call-ripoff to my vision of this show's lead

the "gimmick" of the political dramedy wouldn't be just that the president's neurodivergent it would be that they're the sort of same kind of "quirky neurodivergent specialist" or w/e you often see in cop or medical procedurals (like to politics what someone like Shawn Spencer or Morgan Gillory would be to crime-fighting or someone like Gregory House, Shaun Murphy (at his best-written) or Oliver Wolf would be to medicine) and might even have no first-lady-or-gentleman if I can find an appropriate position for the slowburn to happen with to keep The Dynamic going

the token NT kid would be kinda the "viewpoint character" or at least audience-surrogate or w/e and every other member of the family would be a different variety of autistic (potentially ranging from someone who'd have what I grew up calling Aspergers whatever you call it now and basically be the super-smart STEM-inclined hyper-executive-functioned archetype you see a lot on TV and Sheldon's meant to caricature to someone nonverbal who uses the same sort of thingie as JJ from Speechless and everything in between)

if you didn't see my other posts about the idea with the multiversal video store basically the idea is when protagonist has parent win Nobel Prize for discovery of multiverse travel, protagonist decides to use that to save the Blockbuster-esque-but-independent video store she works at (my idealistic mind hoping this would make video stores cool again/come back again) by tracking down movies and TV from parallel universes (as who wouldn't want e.g. a version of a thing you already like where the gay subtext was allowed to be text) but sometimes the retrieval isn't as easy as it seems and the show would balance that with workplace animated-sitcom stuff with the whole thread of dealing with the fame that comes from this and the prize-win

the speechie teen drama is intended to have a bit of a Glee-at-its-best vibe (as best it could without the songs to sustain it) inspired by both me being a Gleek who did speech team in high school during its peak years and how apparently Chris Colfer was also a speechie and said in an interview that speech and debate for him was kinda what glee club was for Kurt

200 Films of 1952

Film number 170: Arctic Flight

Release date: October 19th, 1952 

Studio: Monogram 

Genre: drama 

Director: Lew Landers 

Producer: Lindsley Parsons 

Actors: Wayne Morris, Alan Hale, Jr., Lola Albright 

Plot Summary: Mike is an American bush pilot working next to the International Date Line, always cautious about flying too close to the Russians on the other side. While waiting to take a rich businessman polar bear hunting, he must fly a pretty young teacher to the edge of the line on Little Diomede Island. They share a mutual attraction, which must be put on hold when the businessman arrives. Mike slowly begins to sense that something is off about the man, however. 

My Rating (out of five stars): **¾  

This is one of those films that isn’t good but is good fun. I enjoyed it quite a lot- it was engaging, easy to follow without being too dumbed down, and unintentionally funny in some good ways. (Anti-Commie propaganda is always ridiculously ham-fisted in this era!) This movie was so much better than Red Snow, a similar low budget film I saw about Inuit people and nefarious Russians in the Arctic. (some spoilers)

The Good: 

Wayne Morris as Mike. He was an excellent and natural actor, very high caliber for a cheap lil’ Monogram movie! He was the standout. 

The acting in general was better than most low budget films. Alan Hale, Jr. was a treat to watch playing a character very unlike the Skipper on Gilligan’s Island! 

All of the Alaskan location footage was cool to see- especially the aerial shots. 

The specific location of the International Date Line was an interesting and unique backdrop for a film. 

The portrayal of Inuit people was mostly respectful. They wore modern clothes, used modern technology, and didn’t behave in a primitive or childlike way. 

The whole thing looked really good for a Monogram movie. Monogram was one of the lowliest of all the studios when it came to prestige and budgets. Surprisingly, this film didn’t have too many markers that screamed “cheap!” 

For once the Anti-Communists weren’t defined by how religious they were! None of our good ol’ American heroes offhandedly said or did anything religious. It was refreshing. 

The Bad: 

More white people playing Inuit characters! Most of the Inuit people in the film appeared to be non-white- except of course for the two characters who had lots of lines. For example, Carol Thurston, who played Saranna Koonuk, was born in North Dakota with Irish ancestry. At least she spoke fluent English instead of that insulting broken speech, though.

The side “romance” between Dave and Saranna. It was sad? Saranna didn’t want to marry him, and yet it was played as mildly humorous? 

The plot didn’t really get going until one hour in. The last 18 minutes were the most thrilling, but why couldn’t it have come sooner? 

So a Communist spy just goes around carrying his Soviet identification card in his pocket?? Really? That’s elite spy craft? “Well, gosh, who would ever look in my pockets?” 

The big fight scene between Mike and John was so impossibly long it was comic. Apparently, a man can take almost a dozen full blown punches to the face keep fighting like he just got slapped on the hand!

The anti-Commie preachy/speechy stuff was pretty cringy.  

This film also had the Red Scare trope of one character who was not a Communist sympathizer but was also not terrified of Russians. And what always happens? That character must learn her lesson, of course! The Commies are right under your bed all the time, you fool! Live in constant vigilance! 

There were also some gross examples of the way men spoke to women back then. Our romantic hero tells a woman he just met under professional circumstances: “I’ll bet you got plenty of wolf calls while you were in the army. I never saw you in uniform, but even with that robe on, you make a liar out of that thermometer!" ........................

Watching a polar bear hunt was upsetting enough, but when they just took the fur and left all the meat, I wanted to scream. The hunter flat out said he just wanted to kill the now endangered animal to make a f*cking rug.

Liked on YouTube: Nightwish - Sleeping sun (cover by Marcela Bovio) || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1G8ijBKrXo || Get more like this on Patreon! https://ift.tt/e4gFJO0 So I have this thing on my Patreon page called Marcela's Vocal Challenge, in which my patrons challenge me to sing difficult songs. They send me their suggestions and then we vote for the one I should cover. And as it turns out, whenever there's a Nightwish song on the list it always wins 😅 That was the case with Sleeping Sun, which I kind of already knew. So I decided to just record this one and give the other songs a chance! 😊 After trying a super classical version and a super belty version I decided to go for somewhere in between, a classical belt if you will! Bit louder than classical and a bit more speechy on the lower end, since I think it fits my style better. Hope you like it! Let me know in the comments!
