[[i love words // writing systems my beloved // stuff about or in non-english languages is tagged '<language name> language']]
itβs always ok to dm me about something iβve posted about or talked about in tags, but messages that just say "hey" will not be answered
asks are usually open, do knock yourself out. i'm always happy to share factual information related to inside no 9, the league of gentlemen, reece shearsmithβs acting work, pembersmith lore etc
[[answered asks // asks game]]
tags are sometimes for categorisation, sometimes for yapping and trauma dumping. i have other blogs where i'm a lot stricter with my tagging, so i cut myself some slack in this, my diary
if you would like to support me or show appreciation, here is my tip jar

Pathologizing: Hey sorry I yelled at you. I have this ADHD symptom called RSD that makes me really sensitive.
Humanizing: Hey, Iβm sorry that I blew up like that earlier. In the moment I felt really attacked and overwhelmed and I reacted badly, but I know you didnβt mean to offend me with what you said, so that behavior is on me.
Because I just saw a post bitching about this one, I want to add: this post is saying that you need to take accountability for the way you hurt other people, even if it happens because of a symptom of your disability/illness. It's also saying that using terms (especially acronyms) that aren't common knowledge isn't a helpful way to explain yourself. It is NOT saying that you need to let people walk all over you because "your disability isn't an excuse."
If you're diabetic, you don't have to eat the honey glazed ham that will send you into a coma (their example). But you also can't yell at the person offering it and accuse them of trying to kill you. You can just say "thanks, but my body can't handle that kind of sugar intake, so I'll pass"
There are only around 1,500 native Cherokee speakers left, and most of them are elders
Little Cherokee Seeds is a program where mothers and babies spend all day with first language Cherokee speakers, speaking nothing but Cherokee, so that the babies become a new generation of native speakers. They're also teaching traditional skills and mothering practices to the mothers to pass on.
This is so so important for the survival of the language. These babies are on track to being fluent first language speakers, and they will be able to keep the language going for another lifetime.
I recommend checking out the little cherokee seeds facebook page!!
