Just when you think you understand a language, slangs and idioms come at you from behind. In English, my first language, there are phrases that can confuse me in a busy conversation.

"We're cooking!" and "We're cooked" have opposite meanings.

"That's cool" and "That's hot" mean similar things.

"Fired up" and "Got fired" have wildly different meanings, and so do "Knocked out" and "Knocked up."

And if you move slightly to the left in any country/continent, they use different terms and idioms! How does one keep track?! Especially when new to a language?

Making your own accessories as DIY crafts is so simple in theory, but then in practice you're sitting there like ??? I have agency?? I have the power to alter my environment at will, to create something I want to own, just from the materials that I already have??? I can just do this, and nobody in my life will pop the joy out of it by gently asking if I really don't worry about everyone who will judge me by how messy it looks. It's going to be messy, grungy and rough, that's the point. I am making something that I want to make, because I can. I have not only the freedom, but the duty to decide who I am and what I make of this world.

I am the one who chooses when and how this thread is cut.

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.

So you know.

This might be the real one, y’all.

why did we ever stop the flower crown edit trend? it was so pure? why does cringe-culture ruin everything fun? there is literally nothing bad about putting flower crowns on photos of people, they’re just flowers

Yes they’re trump supporters but call them what they are: terrorists

i’m not interested in anything anyone has to say abt terrorists breaking into the capitol if it doesn’t include race. don’t just call them trump supporters, don’t just call them right wingers, don’t just call them fascists and don’t imply the only reason they’re not getting shot dead and gassed like thousands of black protesters is because they’re trump supporters.

they’re white domestic terrorists. their whiteness lets them afford the privilege to strut past police and into the biggest government building in the entire country while holding rifles and machine guns. not their political ideology, their whiteness. say it all or shut the fuck up.

Some of you need to learn the difference between skinny girls being made to feel insecure about their body from certain people and fat girls being made to feel like their entire life is worthless because of their body size from literally the entire world
