A poem about loneliness

lyjerria

I pray that every woman finds someone that makes you feel like relationships really don’t have to be so hard. They don’t have to take such a big toll on you emotionally. You’re supposed to be indescribably happy

“If you give children a vocabulary that’s large enough and complex enough to express their emotions and their ideas, you give them access to complex feelings and emotions in themselves. So that if you talk to a teenager and all they can say about how they feel is BAD, and they haven’t got, you know, a larger vocabulary for lonely, abused, insecure, frightened…I mean there’s this huge panoply which…I remember when my daughter was just telling me that she just felt bad, I bought her a thesaurus. I said, “Look up, is it sort of over lonely, or is it insecure…and look up under lonely, you’ll find two hundred words for lonely. Which one?” But what that does is that it makes you feel that there’s this huge complexity of emotions and there are words for all of them. If you want children to feel less frustrated and less disenfranchised and less unable to even feel comfortable with their own emotions, you’ll have to give them a vocabulary that’s as complicated as their inner lives. And one of the things we see in children is this incredibly reduced capacity for reporting their inner lives to the exterior world. One of the things is just teaching them poems, just teaching them to memorize poems in school, they don’t have to interpret them, if they just internalize the language of the poem, the complexity of the emotion in the poems…” -Jorie Graham, in a conversation

This is a result of the inhumane decisions that members of this administration want you to be silent about in public for fear of a loss of “civility”.

HERE’S THE LINK TO SUPPORT HER WORK

thetowersystem

aspects of emotionally abusive parent/child relationships that i still can’t believe they included in tangled:

gothel appearing genuinely sweet and caring at times, enough to possibly even confuse the audience

the mumbling: just having that tiny insignificant little thing be something that gothel consistently, for no discernible reason, gets pissed about

having a special “i love you” exchange: seriously like idk if this is common but i had the same sort of thing with my abusive dad and the first time they said the whole “i love you more” “i love you most” thing i was like holy SHIT

when gothel says “oh great, now i’m the bad guy”: i cannot stress enough that 100% of the time any parent who complains about being the bad guy is abusive

and then later when she’s like “you want me to be the bad guy? fine” as if rapunzel’s making her do all this by not wanting to be locked up forever

when rapunzel tells pascal “shh, don’t let her see you”: why wouldn’t gothel want rapunzel to have a pet?? they never explain that, but they don’t need to, because of course she won’t allow rapunzel to have this harmless thing that makes her happy

rapunzel having an entire sequence where she struggles with finally feeling free and happy and also thinking that makes her a terrible person because her mother wouldn’t like it

“in this essay i will explore” memes piss me off because it implies y’all still using first person pronouns when writing academically. childish ass

prismatic-bell

In this essay, this writer will explore the implications of pretending that one’s own personal view is not part of one’s essay, and the inaccessibility of academia related to established custom of artificial detachment.

shredsandpatches

In this essay, I will demonstrate that the blanket ban on first-person pronouns in high-school and some university English classes is poorly understood and hastily adopted as a result. I will further illustrate that it is a mere substitute for explaining to inexperienced writers that excessive use of phrases like “I think” or “I believe” is unnecessary and rhetorically weakens academic writing, and that opinions expressed in an essay are already assumed to be those of the author. Finally, I will address strategies for effectively conveying that information to students, who often find it difficult to grasp.

thepioden

In this essay, passive voice will be used throughout in order to distance the work done from any researchers, or, in reality, kind of imply all experiments were done by magical lab gremlins and the results were simply recorded.

in this essay, enlightenment will descend upon you without the agency of any living being. you will know things, yet know not how you know.

prepare yourself. it begins.

I NEED HELP FOR MY SISTER AND HER SON

My name is Monica. And this is my sister Wiola and her six years old son Jakub.

Few months ago my sister’s husband left with another woman and has move to another country. We don’t know where excacly. He doesn’t pay for anything, he doesn’t send any money. He is a piece of shit. He was homophobic towards me, he cheated on her when she was pregnant. But my sister stayed with him because of the child.

Also she had to leave the place they live for the last 9 years because it was bought by his parents and they told her to move out. They never liked her and us to be honest because my family is poor.

She is back now in our parents home where I sill live too. There’s only two small rooms in the house, kitchen and one bathroom. All of this for 5 people now. They sleep on the floor in my bedrooom.

She wants to find a place to rent because right now she is stuck wth Jakub with me in my small room. She was a kindergarden teacher but the place got shut down because there was not enough children to teach. She is now unemployed with a son and tons of debts.

I don’t know how else to help her because I’m unemployed at this moment due to my severe depression. Please we can’t live like that for much longer.

Even a dollar makes a difference. And if you are not able to donate, please reblog.

In three weeks my nephew class is going on a trip to the sea for two weeks. Everyone except him is going. My sister doesn’t have 500zł to pay for the trip. I know it’s not super important but the kid been throught a lot and I know how he is gonna feel is he be the only one not going. Trust me, I’ve been there. But it’s not only that. His clothes are way too small, as the kid his age he grows fast and doesn’t even have good shoes right now. My sister doesn’t have enough money to pay for lunch in school every month and the director of the school keep calling out on that. Because everyone needs to pay.

RIGHT NOW SHE NEEDS $3,000.

We had yourcaring page but now it’s the part of gofoundme and that page doesn’t work in Poland so we can’t no longer use it. For those of you keep commenting that you saw this post before, yes it’s been around for three months but we only get 800$ last time and it’s now all gone.

So if you want to donate, this is our PAYPAL: [email protected]

I love this post

This is actually a cool thing I know about!

In the wild capybaras live in large groups so naturally a female capybara will take care of not only her own offspring, but all of the other offspring in the group. So capybaras are super great mothers who will adopt pretty much anything and take care of it.

Lots of places that rescue different animals will give a group of baby animals to a capybara to raise if they have one.
