I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.

#sigh. i'll do it but christ alive.#pinning this to remind myself actually. every step is a step!

#kebab!! don't talk to me about drunk foods until you've had a drunken kebab!!!#i get why pizza & burgers & tacos are getting votes. solid options if for some mysterious reason there are no kebab shops open.

I bring a sort of “almost all male characters are misogynists even if that wasn’t the author’s intention” vibe to the analysis that fandoms don’t like

#many such cases. soooo many.

Poll for my own amusement i’ll look up real data on this later. If you grew up in an Anglophone country:

Were you taught some English-language etymology e.g. Greek vs Latin roots, French borrowings

yes

no

can’t recall

i did not go to primary school in an anglophone country

Remaining time: 17 hours 42 minutes

If you were taught English as a 2nd language in primary school hit the third option. If you learned some stuff but not other stuff hit the first option. If you learned all this stuff in like, middle or high school hit the second option. I’m asking about being taught this stuff during k-5 education (5-11 years old) while you are learning how to read.

Asking bc i was throughout 3rd-grade reading class, we had a unit on Greek roots a unit on Latin roots where we’d focus on like 2-3 roots a week (eg -graph- -phon- -pod-) and basically learn all the most common words with that root or variations of that root (phonograph, pedestrian) and we’d be like quizzed on our ability to derive the meaning of a word from it’s roots and affixes etc. I don’t know how common this was but it was pretty useful imo for understanding how like the actual language worked and then how to guess the spelling of a word you heard out loud or guess the pronunciation/meaning of an unfamiliar word (not as useful now that we all have pocket dictionaries orz)

#didn't learn english in primary school so this doesn't apply but that's a thing they did to teach us french!#specifically the greek vs. latin roots because that accounts for a very large percentage of the language #and if i recall correctly we had a short module on words borrowed from arabic / with arabic roots #but yeah. what's described in op's reblog is a very good summary of how a portion of my french classes went!

If u could bring dead ppl back 2 life with magic like in video games the hollywood stunt scene would be out of control. There'd be professional snuff actors winning awards for dying the best. Producers would be like "If u need somebody to get killed in a film call up Resurrection Eddie, nobody gets killed as good as Eddie"

It’s always “there is still time” and never “the longer you wait, the closer you get to suffocating” or “I know it’s scary, that’s part of it”

first of all i think it's the stupidest thing ever that i legally can't exist outside topless. second of all i think we should restructure society so that if i were to go outside topless, men wouldn't immediately seize that opportunity to be gross about it. and finally they should give out free mastectomies no questions asked at the local walk-in clinic. this is my worldview after going for a run while it was sunny outside.

#originally this had two bullet points but probably it would not be great to run with my tits unsupported. given inertia & gravity etc.#rambles #they were not lying about the amount of laundry cardio involves.
