Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.

Hate when people post these videos with "ethnic" tag and leave out who these people are, what their culture is or even what they're singing in.
Anyway, this is probably one of the best bands of this decade and they're Otyken!
I can't recommend My Wing enough. Their songs are so much fun - Genesis is also a blast. Go listen to them!!!!
it fucking sucks how you can do all the therapy and self healing in the world and you still have to wake up living under a capitalist death cult that's killed community and crushes your soul
congrats you want to live and be happy
bad news the world doesn't want that for you
I'll still love fully and crawl to hope until my body gives out anyway I guess
Sadly I have had this convo with my therapist before. And the only advice I can really give is:
Sometimes there are things in the world you cannot control, acknowledge that and how it makes you feel, then look at what you CAN do, and make the best out of your life and what makes you happy with the things that you CAN control. Make goals to make the best life you can for yourself then take the steps to reach those goals. If you hold onto the things you can't do, you'll never be able to seek the possibilities life can offer when you open yourself to the realistic things you can actually do and accomplish.

Hi!
I’m currently struggling to go to sleep the night before a big solo performance for a school event, so I figured I’d ask one of my favorite authors a couple things I’ve been wondering about. (Does flattery still work on people?)
So, I believe I remember you saying something along the lines of “people ask me why I write about weird sex magic. It’s because I read Greek mythology, and it has a lot of weird sex magic.” And I’m paraphrasing that horribly, but I was wondering, what things *have* you drawn inspiration from? I’m in love with the way magic is portrayed in both the Dreamblood books and the Broken Earth trilogy (I’ve yet to read the inheritance series), and I was wondering what inspiration you had? They feel kind of different to me—dreamseed and it’s counterparts seem really rooted in the four humors and the way some older mythos have a big fuss around the seed of gods and all that fun stuff, but the magic in Broken Earth feels a lot more . . . introspective, I guess? It seems like you’ve written it to be much more focused on the individual’s own perception of it, and that influences what they can do/how they do things. And I don’t really think I’ve seen anything that leans into that angle, as far as mythos goes. (Though I really, really cannot claim to be knowledgeable in that.)
And for the second thing: do you have any tips to becoming a good reader? I can read *fast*, but I really feel like I don’t get more than just the surface and shallow ideas about the message/themes the author might intend. It always seems like people are able to come up with very introspective, in depth dissections of their favorite characters and books, and I can’t help but look at those sometimes, and go, “wow, what was *I* reading?” I guess that it might be a learned skill, but I don’t really know where to start. I guess I also wanted to ask about what themes and such you wanted to incorporate into the Broken Earth trilogy (that was my introduction to you, then Dreamblood, then the Great Cities), but that’s really just a secondary thing to this question.
Well, regardless of whether or not you answer, I just wanted to ask so I could stop thinking about it constantly. I can’t wait to jump into the Inheritance Trilogy next time I buy books.
Flattery doesn't work on me, but I do love to talk shop, so... 😄 Cutting for length:

Hi lads. With shadow and bone series 2 fast approaching, I think it's time to answer a question on all of our minds?
What is a crow?
I think it's time for a classic game of "is that a crow?" Hosted by someone who is definitely not qualified.
Candidate 1: jackdaw
Not a crow. Crow shaped sure. A little stumpy in places though. Silver around the neck because these guys are just too fancy. In the air, they look pretty darn close to a crow. Always look out for that stubby tail (sorry jackdaw I love you) and smaller wings.
Disclaimer: I do not know a single technical term for anything, I just really like birds.
Candidate 2: raven
Not a crow. Kind of like if a crow could have an emotional phase. Also these fuckers are massive. More of a hooked beak and they don't look as well put together. The big difference everyone will point to when you ask what's the difference (and to that I say how can you compare perfection) is that raven's have a diamond tail rather than a fan tail. In addition to recognising human faces, they are also capable of holding grudges. Legends.
Candidate 3: rook
Not a crow. Metal as hell though. Grey beak because why the hell not. (But seriously if you anything about corvid beaks hmu) from a field, they look a bit yellow. I once thought a saw one of these but it was just a crow with a beakfull of catkins. From the sky they look quite crow. It's almost like they're related or something.
Candidate 4: chough
Not a crow. This guy isn't even trying. Red beak. Red legs. Too stylish to care. From the sky, again very crow. But their beaks look like tiny chilly peppers. If you see one of these, big fat congratulations.
Candidate 5: hooded crow
It's a crow. I can hear some of saying "A, it took you five birds to get to a crow and I doesn't even look like a crow." 1. You just got to look at five bird pictures. 2. Don't diss the hooded crow. Silver waist coat wearing capturer of my heart. A crow is a crow no matter how complicated.
Candidate 6: carrion crow
It's a crow. Crow shaped. Crow sounding. Fan tail. All black. Kind eyes. A classic for a reason
Thank you for joining me. Together we can correctly identify our corvids. This post is dedicated to magpies and eurasian jays. Forever in our hearts but just not Crow enough.

okay, most of what i do re: harry potter is criticism, and hp is flawed in such a number of ways, but sometimes i just sit here and
i mean, you all have a comprehension of just how drastically harry potter changed literature, yeah? like. it revitalized it. it blew the literary scene apart. the new york times had to create a separate bestseller’s list for children’s lit just because harry potter existed. harry potter changed reading.
so many people on tumblr were born in the ‘90s. when the first book came out, most of us couldn’t read. but we grew up in a world where everyone, everyone, everyone was reading harry potter, no matter how old they were; we grew up in a world where the most popular story in the entire world was a fantasy children’s book.
it’s sort of difficult to grasp, sometimes, the extent to which harry potter is not just a book. the extent to which what is basically a series of fun, interesting, and fairly good novels is such an enormous, enormous part of our lives, a cultural touchstone, a truly universal reference point, something so many people have shaped their lives around, a foundation for all of the stories we would read and watch for the rest of our lives– for so many of us, the first books we ever loved
the extent to which so many of us can’t call ourselves “fans” of harry potter, because it would like being a “fan” of, like, having lungs.
it’s not even about liking it or disliking it. it’s just a part of us.
