@celadabi i come back from the grave to send you this
What the Tories do really well is let a tiny minority of 'normal' people into their elitist world. It refinforces class barriers and adds more division amongst the working class. If you're one of the lucky kids at the minority of 40 comps, you'll be able to learn a subject the bourgeois respect and rate, and your parents will be able to say yesss my child knows Latin yess we also shop at marks and spencer now you know oh the quality is so much better etc
meanwhile they're actively trying to stop Gàidhlig/Scottish Gaelic being taught in scottish schools, and are still trying to eradicate both it and Irish Gaelic entirely
fuck the tories and fuck their elitist, pretentious bullshit
I was just thinking the same thing. When Celtic languages ask for funding for their languages, it's considered a "waste of public money" and "why should my taxes pay for a dead language". Westminster revoked funding for Cornish in 2016.
(As an aside, Welsh-Cornish musician Gwenno protested with a brilliant album entirely in Cornish, a language under revival with about 650 speakers. It's estimated that her 2018 album Le Kov actually encouraged more kids to sit their leaving exams in Cornish. I like what she said when asked about it:
Gwenno was also, in part, inspired to record Le Kov due to a decision by the British government to cut funding towards the Cornish language in 2016: "There’s that argument that I think is really stupid: why do you have to learn Cornish or Welsh, why don’t you learn Mandarin? It’s like everything you do has to have monetary value. I think you have to find the non-monetary value in things.” The album was later credited by the Cornish Language Board with encouraging a record number of students to take exams in the Cornish language during 2018.)
They get offended and call it a waste of money when they see Welsh signage and hear Welsh speakers... in Wales! But oh, what they wouldn't give to make their eliteness a bit more exclusive. Latin isn't a "practical" language in the UK, but this isn't a waste of money?
I disagree. I take Latin, and it’s honestly been incredible. Knowing Latin makes it that much easier to learn the other Romance languages, helps you learn grammar for all other languages (I didn’t know what a participle was until I took Latin), and is just one of those things that crops up as helpful at weird times.
I totally agree that Welsh and other Celtic languages should be taught in the UK. But I don’t agree with the implication that Latin is a useless and elitist.
It’s not like I learn Latin to brag about it, or ‘cause it makes me feel smart. I’m certainly not bourgeois or anything. Middle income person living in the Midwest here, not exactly one of the elite. I learn Latin because it’s a truly useful language.
Latin should absolutely be taught in more public schools. Not to get rid of the ‘elitist’ stigma around it, but because it’s a good language to know.
I made this so now all y'all have to look at it.
Every thousand notes I’ll make him thiccer.

@cansortofdraw asdhjhfesjkfheakjaaaa donk
Just saw a very serious tumblr post refer to adults age 25+ as “older adults.” I am begging you kids to go outside and interact with diverse groups of people. Please. It’s for your own good.
The human lifespan, according to tumblr:
Birth to 17.99999999 years: Child. Doesn’t matter where you fall in that range. You are a helpless, innocent child.
18-approximately 21 years: Adult. Full internet privileges!
21-25 years: Sketchy adult. You can stay, but you’re on thin fucking ice.
25 years to end of life: Senior citizen. Old fart. Washed up has-been with nothing to contribute to society who should never socialize below their age bracket. Also probably a pedophile.
after a while i became convinced that the words were mocking me
Nothing happened.
I WAS PROMISED A BATTLE
*throws down gauntlet*
Edit: Went back. This is the best thing to happen to my dashboard ever.
Reblogging again because my followers need to see this. To be clear, rebog, go to your actual blog, then click the picture.
aight
OH MY GOD I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT
DO IT
WOW IT REALLY IS SOMETHING FREAKING GOOD PLEASE CHECK IT OUT
Okay, if this is a rickroll I swear to…
1) It was not a rickroll
2) It was super awesome!
3) No jumpscare or anything designed to freak you out, so doesn’t need an unreality warning (YMMV, of course).
Suspicious but curious. Curiosity wins!
attention all writers following me- try this or you will lament.
OK THIS IS THE COOLEST
MY WRIST IS ACHING
I am ready.
Hmmmm…
Have to see what happens
Nothing, as far as I can tell
ay btw it used to link to this website
this is the best this is the best
Me again! Sorry if I’m being annoying. I’ve mentioned this before, but if you want something to eat that’s low in calories/fat/anything, lettuce is good. Drinking a Sprite helps with nausea and will get you some sugars. Calories aren’t the thing to avoid - instead, you want to avoid fatty foods. This is because fats are the hardest for you to digest and get rid of. Carbs are burnt quickly, so those are good to eat - some bread might fill you up without being too unhealthy. And drink water!!!
Nope
Calories are the thing to avoid that's why I have 800 a day
Well, I just did some research, hope ya don’t mind.
If you wanna loose weight, you don’t want to eat: eggs, sugary drinks, white bread (my ask was wrong sorry lmao), candy bars, fruit juices, high-calorie coffee drinks, and highly processed things.
Some foods that help burn belly fat are: red fruits (apples!!), lean meat (turkey), leafy greens (like I keep saying, lettuce), and yogurt (in moderation!!!).
Calories aren’t the stuff making you “fat”, by the way. A calorie is just a way of measuring the energy in food. Calories only contribute to weight when you take in more than you use. That means if you balance your calories with your exercise, you can actually consume more calories without having a negative effect.
Cutting your calories to 1200 is enough to loose weight, incidentally. This is a diet plan for obese people, and is actually not recommended for those who aren’t overweight.
800 calories a day isn’t enough. You may loose weight, but your body needs some sort of nutrition. When you don’t have enough fat to burn, your body moves on to burning muscles, tissues, and eventually organs. Especially if you aren’t getting a lot of variation in the foods you’re eating, 800 calories won’t give you the energy you need to complete day-to-day activities.
Again, I’m sorry if I’m being a bother! I do care about you, though, and I hope I can help.
I've been on 800. A day when I was a kid...
I ayed competitive sports and excelled in school
I was starved by my mother and look at me now I'm still alive
So it'll be okay
Well, I’m not the boss of you. Just - stay safe, alright?

Mmmm
My lunch is monster energy and 2 gummy worms
I'm already full tbh lol
So! Monster Energy (and other energy drinks, but especially Monster) are notoriously unhealthy. They’ve got a shit ton of caffeine, sugar, and other crap. Especially if you’re, y’know, replacing meals with them.
I’d recommend drinking other things instead. Especially if you’re worried about calories, since one 16oz can of this stuff has way more than the maximum recommended amount of sugar for an adult.
Anyways, here’s some quotes. Sources at the bottom of this post.
Monster Energy drinks are mostly devoid of nutritional value. For example, according to the US Department of Agriculture, a 16 fluid ounce can of Monster Energy provides about 233 calories, 54.2 grams of sugar and 164 milligrams of caffeine. It also provides varying amounts of riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12.
According to Monster Energy Drink's own website, a full 16 ounce can of Monster Energy Drink provides 160 milligrams of caffeine. According to the Food and Drug Administration, most people can consume about 400 milligrams of caffeine a day without dangerous or negative side effects. However, the FDA points out this can vary greatly between people.
Overconsuming caffeine can lead to:
Increased heart rate. Elevated blood pressure. Jitters, tremors and anxiety. Irritability. Headaches. Nausea or digestive issues. Dehydration.
Nolan adds that while generally speaking, 400 milligrams of caffeine can be tolerated by most healthy adults, some people need to consume far less, including: Children and young adults. Pregnant or breastfeeding people. People with high blood pressure or other cardiovascular conditions. People with diabetes.
If you're replacing meals with these drinks, that can also lead to trouble. At the other end of the spectrum, if you're consuming energy drinks alongside a diet that's heavy in processed foods, that can also be problematic. All of these factors can compound the effects of these drinks and potentially set you up for health concerns.
Monster Energy drinks contains over 54 grams of sugar in a 16 ounce container. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), an adult man or woman needs no more and preferably less than 150 calories from sugar a day. Monster Energy Drinks contain approximately 216 calories from sugar. As a result, if you drink just one 16 ounce can of Monster Energy, you are consuming more than the maximum recommended amount of sugar per day.
Regularly consuming too much sugar can lead to heart disease, obesity and the potential to develop Type 2 diabetes. According to Harvard Health, the typical American diet gets 10 to 25 percent of their daily caloric intake from added sugars. You can reduce your risks through decreasing the amount of added sugar you intake daily. In terms of Monster Energy Drinks, this may mean only drinking them once in a while.
C, E flat and G walk into a bar.
They ask the bartender for a drink. The bartender says, “Sorry we don’t serve minors here”. E flat walks out while C and G have a fifth between the two of them.
Music people! please explain!
*clears throat*
Ok. So, C E flat and G are all musical notes.
In music, there are two keys. If you go to a piano and starting at middle C (google it if you don’t know which key that is) press the next eight white keys going up one at a time in order, that’s a major scale. A minor scale is if you go to the D (the white key to the right of the C) and press the next eight white keys one at a time in order. Or, go here for a nice video on it.
So, E flat is a minor key. It’s a black one. Hence the ‘we don’t serve minors here’ and E leaving.
C and G is easier to explain. G is the fifth key up from C. If you play C and G together, they sound nice, ‘cause they’re a perfect fifth.
one day im gonna fuck your mom
@blankensee give me her and your locations :)
You can find us on Google Maps here
Without saying your NOTP, reblog and put in the tags how you ended up hating it.
reblog this and put in the tags what comes up when you type “die”
Girls in suits guys in dresses, rb if you agree
Oh i agree
At my family's request, I have removed all my original posts asking for help. I am deeply sorry if I scandalized, offended, or otherwise caused trouble for anyone by discussing those matters. I meant no harm; I was just trying to help our family in our need. Our situation is still very difficult but I must be more humble about it.
Grandma and I are still eternally and inexpressibly grateful for all the help and prayers; we literally would not have gotten through this month if not for you. You have been Christ's mercy to us and we thank you with all our hearts.
Unfortunately, I am currently hospitalized, and my grandmother is temporarily in remote hospice.
My health isn't good. It hasn't been, but it's not improving. I pray that I can still take care of my grandmother when I am discharged, but they have a lot of tests to run and the docs are very upset that I keep ending up back worse in the ER. I've been too nauseous and dizzy to eat for days and I keep throwing up; I flat-out fainted on Tuesday. I've lost three pounds in a week. Please pray for me and moreso for my dearest grandma-- she's away from family and in a strange place for a bit and I know how that upsets her. I am heartbroken that I can neither see nor help her for a while but I need to get medically stabilized before that is honestly possible. Our lives are in God's merciful hands.
If you are able and wish to help us financially, our PayPal is http://paypal.me/thurifer and our home hospice wishlist is here. There are electric & phone bills due while I am here, and I will have to change my medical diet again after this so groceries must be bought. It's exhausting and awful and I am humiliated to reach out one last time but it's all I can do, that and pray. We will always pray. 🙏No matter what happens, God is in control, and we trust Him.
Signal boosting this as I might need major surgery. 🙏 Please pray.
Update 07-20-2021:
The hospital has determined that my case is terminal without immediate interventional long-term care. So I will be admitted to a specialty facility within a few days, and will remain there for possibly a few months. I may not have any technology access then so I will humbly request your prayers today as I enter this new, sudden, scary, but yet still Divinely guided stage of my life and health. 🙏❤
