BEKKATHYST FIRST GIVEAWAY OF 2021

~This giveaway is in no way affiliated with Tumblr.~

Please read thoroughly before entering!

Hello lovely Tumblr folk! It’s that time again- I have a giveaway for you all. Unlike previous giveaways, this one has been made possible by the lovely human @classicintp who graciously sponsored this giveaway.

We have both an online store and a physical location that could use your support!

My business is just a small, family run establishment that I started here on tumblr in 2013. I’ve been lucky enough to grow to the point where my husband and I opened a brick and mortar store and I’ve been able to employ my mother and several of my siblings! I’ve been supporting my mom and younger siblings since 2016 💜 I’ve always put compassion and ethics above all else in my business!

This giveaway is in honor of the new year 🥰 let's start 2021 on a positive note!

This giveaway will have one winner.

What the winner receives:

This handmade (by me!) sterling silver larimar and aquamarine statement necklace. It is a massive statement piece valued at $225.

Rules:

You must be 16 or older. (If under 18 you MUST have parent’s permission)

You don’t have to live in the US to join!

Shipping is entirely free, I will cover it. But if you live outside the US and for whatever reasons your country wants to charge you import tax, you are responsible for it. If it gets sent back to me, you will need to pay shipping to have it sent again.

You must be following me, so you can get updates if anything about the giveaway changes.

Please check out our online shop!

DO NOT tag this post as giveaway. That will risk the notes getting messed up, and this will be ruined for everyone.

Reblog this post to enter. Likes count, too. No giveaway or spam blogs. If you reblog on a side blog, let me know in the tags what the name of your blog is that you’re following me with.

Please don’t spam people with reblogs- limit 2 reblogs per blog per day.  

At the end, each entry will be assigned a number and the grand prize winner will be chosen by a random number generator. The runner up will be chosen second.

The giveaway ends Friday, January 15th, 2021 at 6 pm Pacific time.

The winner will be messaged and must respond with their full name and address within 24 hours, or new winners will be chosen.

Please respect me and my rules, and have fun!

Freshmen college housing is so chaotic because it’s really the only situation I can think of where a person who gives so little shit about anyone else that they’d have sex with someone while someone else is trying to sleep five feet away, and a person who is so painfully shy that’d they wouldn’t be able to even speak up about it so they’d just let it happen

Could end up roommates.

And then they both just live like that for a year

Here’s another reason from Repair After Next Turn why it doesn’t make sense to get annoyed at hyperbolic “literally”: 

If literally really has flipped, then why don’t we find the reversal in contexts like this? -

A: When I told him the news, he exploded. B: He actually exploded?! A: No, of course not. I was speaking literally.

I’m not aware of any evidence that things are moving in that direction.

But what’s going on, then? The speaker who says “He literally exploded” could have made a roughly equivalent claim by substituting figuratively for literally: if the literally version is true (/false), the figuratively version is true (/false). Doesn’t it follow that when they saidliterally they actually meant the same thing as figuratively?

Not at all. In “He literally exploded”, literally intensifies the figurative meaning of exploded: it means something like “He completely exploded”, “He totally exploded”. It’s not saying anything about the literal / figurative dimension. When people say “He literally exploded”, they don’t intend to say “He figuratively exploded”. That is a claim they might be happy to make if they felt the need to, but it’s not the one they are trying to make. [Full post]

I would even go as far as to say its power as an intensifier inherently relies upon the contradictory nature of the word’s usage. It dramatises the verb in the same way “completely” dramatises a verb, but I suggest it also has an entirely different function to “completely”. Where “completely” only serves as an intensifier and possibly connotes that the following verb is figurative, “literally” relies on its original meaning, and asks the reader to imagine the figurative event happening literally. It might be informal language’s closest attempt at creating visual metaphor. And I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a direct correlation between this century’s increase in emotive visual culture (especially Tumblr?) and the necessity of the graphic function of the word “literally” (and the prevalence of such a word).

[allthingslinguistic]

I’ve started calling it “hyperbolic literally” to emphasize the fact that if you don’t object to “I could eat a horse” or “if I’ve asked you once, I’ve asked you a million times…” then there’s no reason to object to literally as hyperbole either.

Just because two people aren’t romantically involved doesn’t mean they can’t be super important to one another.

Just because two people are super important to one another doesn’t mean they have to be romantically involved.

It is okay to love people deeply without wanting to be with them romantically and people should not make your friendship uncomfortable by consistently nagging you to date.

Let’s appreciate and support friendships and stop demanding people to have feelings they don’t have.
