Gratitude - Tidying Up With Marie Kondo (2019)

[lillivati]

I know people make a lot of fun of Marie Kondo, but I felt like her book was the first organizational guide I’ve ever read that acknowledged people having an emotional attachment to possessions as natural and healthy, instead of telling you you’re an awful person for feeling sad over objects.

[stupidmonopolymoney]

She’s a joy, and the racism and ridicule that she’s faced is disgusting. I’m using her method to tidy right now. She’s none judgmental, and her method is focusing on joy and not guilt and I just think that’s so important.

It’s always fun to be reminded how recent European national identities are. Peasants in 1860’s Sicily had never heard the term “Italy” before, the majority of people in France didn’t speak French at the time of the French Revolution, etc.

[sour-charity]

“But even today, some scholars maintain there is no such thing as “an Italian.”

Learning a language that doesn’t use the same writing system as your native one is so fun because they change the font and you’re doomed

I had a penpal from Greece in high school. She had the neatest handwriting ever. She taught me a bunch of basic stuff, and it got to the point that we’d write our letters almost exclusively in Greek (a big deal, as this was before Google Translate was even a thing).

Cut to junior year of college. I took Classical Greek as part of my degree, and I was feeling like I had a leg up over my classmates, whose Greek handwriting looked like kindergarten chicken scratch, while mine was smooth and quick. I turned in my first assignment feeling pretty damn proud of myself.

About three assignments later, my professor pulled me aside with the goofiest look on his face…

“I appreciate the effort, but…”

You remember that phase I think all little girls go through in middle school/junior high? Where we have swirly tails on our G’s or our Y’s get all swoopy, or we dot all our I’s with little hearts?

Yeah…

Turns out, all the perfect little flourishes I’d been putting on my letters were not, in fact, part of the letters at all. My penpal had just still been in that phase when she taught me the alphabet!

Little girl teaching her cats how to draw a flower 

(via)

[hottiewitabloggie]

they’re? just? sitting there ???

[ladycavalier]

it makes it 100% better that i can’t understand her, i feel like i’m hearing what cats hear

[socialistexan]

[crtter]

Heh, she’s speaking Portuguese! Here’s what she’s saying:

*baby voice* “… and if you have any questions, just ask me! And now… yeah. And now you draw the roots. You draw them all twisted up! Got it? A flower? Now draw it. Did you get it, Luis Roberto? Did you get it, Jurandir? Look. Did you get it? That’s how you draw a flower.”

Luis Roberto and Jurandir are people names (Jurandir is especially a name associated with older men) so it’s extra funny that the cats are named that, heh.

TRUTH!!!!

[annagetsthefabulousbabes]

It’s not that I wouldn’t follow a dog into the woods to go on an adventure it’s just that I think this is the sort of trail that leads to being on a true crime podcast.

[aphrobites]

you know what if i die i die i’m FOLLOWING THE DOG THROUGH THE PLANT ARCHWAY

[silver-tongues-blog]

this is how you get kidnapped by fairies. following strange animals through odd overgrown gates in the middle of forests

[dongcroncher]

they live in Narnia

[lasrina]

I would follow him without question.

[twihard-diehard]

SO you all can see…I’d live here and I’d follow that dog…and I’d hope to goodness that the neighbors were the vampires I wished for…
