The Universal Struggle of Hearing Your Name 📢

We’ve all been there: you’re minding your business upstairs, and suddenly you hear that one specific tone of voice echoing from the kitchen. You offer a polite, casual "Yeah?" but… silence. 🔇

So you take that deep breath, channel your inner opera singer, and let out a "YES MOTHER DEAREST!?" that could shake the very foundations of the house. Why do they never hear the first reply? Why must we scream into the void? It's a high-stakes game of vocal gymnastics just to find out she wanted to know if you want chicken or pasta for dinner. 🍝

The Inhaling Seagull meme is truly the mascot for every middle child and misunderstood sibling everywhere. Use that lung capacity for greatness, besties.

Reblog if you’ve had to scream through a floorboard today and follow for more relatable chaos! ✨

I dont know what Transgirl needs to hear this but singing along to "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus provides exercise to the muscles you need to train to do voice training, namely constricting the throat and pushing your larynx and Adam's Apple up while keeping your pitch normal.

It won't get your voice to sound fem by itself but if you are at step 1 of voice training it is a good way to "feel" what muscles you need to use.

Best part is the song is also kind of off key so nobody judges you for singing it poorly.

No, no, *my* linguistic prescriptivism isn’t classist at all, it’s just about speaking correctly, it’s just about pronouncing things how they’re spelled, it’s just because it sounds annoying

No stop. Don’t make me consider what group of people typically speak that way. Don’t ask me whether it bothers me when upper class people/men/white people make the same sound.

We have to do something about the fake vocal fry. We gotta put an end to it. This has to stop. I’m taking this to the highest authority.

Research-backed stories that consider how and why moral panics begin and spread, who they serve, and what becomes of them in the end.

Some of the ridiculous things that we've collectively freaked out about in the past and the not-so-distant past: women wearing pants, rock and roll, bicycles, marihuana, "vocal fry"...
