hey! my family needs some help

so as you may or may not know from me frantically posting about it when it happened, my mom's house caught fire this monday. one of the ac units failed and started it.

my sister's room is the only room with fire damage, since it's on the same corner as the unit, but the house was filled with smoke. the foundation, the attic, both floors. even if insurance would let them go back in to get their belongings, it's all smoke damaged beyond repair. all of it. nobody even knows if the house is a total loss yet.

if you want, i could draw you something in exchange for donating to them, i needed to work on starting commission work anyway lol.

this is NOT life or death and we're very lucky because of that, so please don't feel pressured to donate if you can't. reblogging is appreciated..thank you <:)

there was a time in my life where I painstakingly trained myself out of using "likes" and "ums" for public speaking, and then when I started learning about like basic linguistics and shit I realized that fillers are completely normal and useful parts of language and now I use them even in text all the time. I feel like if anyone suggested that I should remove them from my speech at this point I would genuinely just be like "alright well you're not ready to engage with the topic I'm discussing yet."

until you stop needing communication & language to be just one specific way for you to view it as skillful, authoritative, persuasive, educated, etc. then you aren't prepared to engage in deeper conversations about language. if you can't handle "likes" and "y'know?"s then you certainly won't be able to handle the ways in which multilingual speakers can use one language's grammar while speaking in another, you won't be able to handle AAC, you won't be able to handle discussions with people with verbal tics or stutters... like you're not going to be able to engage with a lot of language and therefore your understanding of language is not going to be enough, currently, to really get into studying the ways in which power interacts with language or analyzing creative writing on a granular level of phrasing, word choice, punctuation, spacing

the coolest thing to do at a shitty job is to mutter " i dont get paid enough to deal with this shit" for easy basic tasks that are part of the job

my girl is like 9/11 she's got a body count of around 3000 and people act like i am supposed to be really upset about it

Does that also mean she rearranges your insides for 100 minutes of burning penetration and then you crash to the ground in a steaming heap of trash, devastated and useless?
