I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.

I love using “good catch”

I also say “thanks for the update” or “thanks for the head’s up!”

“I really appreciate the head’s up!” also a classic

If I haven’t gotten back to someone in a swift enough period (i.e. one work day max) I say “thank you for your patience. after some consideration, I have decided…”

don’t apologize for piddly things! 

thank you > sorry

[goth-aunt]

I need to remember

[stargazing-enby]

thank you > sorry

Thank you for waiting for me > sorry for being late

Thank you for helping me/for your time/for listening to me > sorry for bothering you

Thanking someone when they do you a favour > apologizing for your existence

This is especially hard when you haven’t been taught that people need to respect your limits, but with a bit of practice you can absolutely get there!

forgive yourself. whether you fail a test, eat too many cookies, say the wrong thing, fail a class, or spend a whole day in bed — learn to forgive yourself. the next day will be better. the next day will be a day closer to your next success. you can do it.

The 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, reconstructed | Simply Savvy

The 7 Wonders of the Ancient World was a list of must-see sites for Ancient...

The 7 Wonders of the Ancient World was a list of must-see sites for Ancient Greek tourists. Compiled by Antipater of Sidon, a poet in 2nd-century-BCE Greece, with later contributions by figures such as the mathematician Philon of Byzantium, the list remains an important piece of intangible heritage today.

Sadly, only one of those ancient wonders is still standing. So, we decided to give modern culture-lovers the chance to visit the structures that Antipader first recommended. In this new series of renders we’ve reconstructed the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, so you can see how the ruins originally looked.

1. Colossus of Rhodes

2. Great Pyramid of Giza

3. Hanging Gardens of Babylon

4. Lighthouse of Alexandria

5. Mausoleum at Halicarnassus

6. Statue of Zeus at Olympia

7. Temple of Artemis at Ephesus

is there ever that one celebrity that no matter what mood youre in, if you feel like crap you just see a picture of them and you just smile and think “thank you for existing” because they have made your day brighter even if you don’t really know them 

[carolrance]

the correct answer is:

[pilgrimkitty]

This is the correct answer. Did you know that when she finds out a studio has asked an actress to lose weight she contacts them and yells at them?

[azriona]

I did not know that, but I do remember an interview where she said she keeps her Oscar in her downstairs loo, because that’s the one her guests use, so they can just go use the loo and don’t have to ask if they can hold her Oscar. Plus then they’ve got the mirror so they can practice their acceptance speeches.

That’s not quite true. The reporter behind the story, Daphne Caruana Galizia, was murdered.

Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

"You are no longer licensed to use the software," Adobe told them.

[awsomelink]

Friendly reminder that GIMP does pretty much everything Photoshop does, and it’s 100% free. Fuck DRM and the license culture, we have plenty of open source options available to us as a consumer.

Lightworks is a freeware video editor on par with Premiere

Blender is an excellent freeware 3D renderer,possibly better than After Effects

Lightzone to replace Lightroom

Inkscape to replace Illustratr

Audacity to replace Audition (I also received a free version of Pro Tools with my Scarlett Solo audio interface)

If Adobe is going to be greedy shitheads, then fuck ‘em. Don’t use their stuff. Freeware can be just as good, if not better, than Adobe CC.

[tessmontyart]

fuck adobe fuck adobe fuck adobe

Also https://www.photopea.com/ looks pretty cool, its like a clone of photoshop except it’s free and online 👌 (so good for people like me who are a bit too comfortable with the photoshop interface lol)

[verfalne]

And friendly reminder to my followers that if you want Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 professional, I have a very quick and easy to install p/irated version :>
