Here's to the people who weren't abused by their parents, but whose parents sucked anyways. Here's to people whose parents fucked up raising you out of ignorance and not malice. Here's to the kids whose parents didn't know what to do with you so they did nothing at all. Here's to people whose parents are getting better and growing as people but still hurt you. Here's to every mean comment that wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't come from your mom; here's to awkward family dinners because you're all trying to forget;
here's to you, survivor of a thousand 'not as bad as it could have been' hurts. I see you. You aren't alone.
I’m strong but damn I wanna cry about how tired I am.

Heavily recommend adding a few encouraging songs to your vent playlists. They don't have to be happy, just encouraging in some way. If you don't have any, here are some that encourage me:
- Body Bag / Might Love Myself / Riptide by Beartooth*
- Reason to Live / Let It Burn / Hallelujah (I'm Not Dead) by Citizen Soldier*
- Die Trying by New Medicine
- Heartache by From Ashes to New
- Impressive Depressive by Bad Luck.
- Popular Monster by Halocene, Lauren Babic
- Until it Doesn't Hurt by Mother Mother
- Adrenaline by Zero 9:36
- Survive by Sick Puppies
- Nimbus by Armand
*Beartooth and Citizen Soldier have a lot of songs I would consider encouraging, these are just a few.
So yeah <3 If anyone wants to add to the list, feel free, I love music. Also, subjects of the songs I listed will be in the tags.
not to be a slut but i could really use a kiss on the forehead right now
hey does anyone know the name of that app where you can make preplanned note messages and pass your phone to someone in case of an urgent situation where you cant speak? or something?
I believe you're looking for this:
We have it installed, but the Google play store did give us a "this app is made for a precious version of android" message. We haven't checked if Apple does the same.
We did find an apk download for it outside the app stores though (there is a "how to install" link below the download button):
thank you !! hissing at the word Aspie ,,,, but i need the app, i think
[ID: Image 1: Emergency Chat. 4.6 stars (595). Emergency chat can be used in any situation where speech is impossible but communication is still necessary. The splash screen has a base text that explains...

Another one is Speech Assistant, which is free on Android and has option to have many pre-planned phrases, and to make text big for showing someone, and includes option to speak the text aloud. I highly recommend it
I love the term “loanwords” because it implies that you intend to give them back.
*dumps a box full of words on French’s front porch* You never came back for your shit.
Loanwords, loaned to the British Museum so
Would everyone like to know the best thing??? There are two types of borrowed word - loan words and calques. Loan words are words taken directly from the language i.e. tattoo, sushi, guillotine. Calques are words literally translated from the language before being borrowed i.e. beer garden, scapegoat, killer whale (incorrectly calqued, the original actually means whale killer which is a whole other post).
Did anyone notice the fun thing?
Loan word is a calque (German lehnwort lit. Loan+word) and calque is a loan word (French calque - tracing or imitation). Have a good day!
To that point, when I was watching Crimes and noticing its themes about the evolution and transformation of the human body, I was wondering if you were engaging at all in ongoing conversations about the transgender movement.
Yeah, well, I observe it. I’m not really engaged with it directly. They’re taking that idea seriously. They’re saying, “Body is reality. I want to change my reality. That means I have to change my body.” And they’re being very brave and they’re investing a lot in these changes, especially these ones that are not reversible, which most of them aren’t. I say, go ahead. This is an artist giving their all to their art.
what they don’t tell you about making art is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHH!!!
people have got to get less afraid of the double chin i mean it. draw a fat character with a fat neck it wont kill you
