It’s the end of November and in many places, winter is quickly moving in. If you’re in Buffalo, you may still not be able to find your damn car in order to winterize it, but for everyone else, please review these simple tips to protect your car and stay safe this winter!
reblogging this again because this is from Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents and I’m reading it right now and it’s incredibly awkward to read about my entire life’s problems neatly described by a complete stranger
Fuck this is literally meeeeeeee
Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents is right at the top of my psych books list along with Why Does He Do That and Trauma and Recovery.
shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.
moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over.
put on clean, comfortable clothes.
put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.
drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.
clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink.
blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.
make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something.
make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.
go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.
call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.
cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.
Reblog as much as you can
Absolutely helpful. I think I’ve done three or four of these things today, makes you feel better.
I do a lot of these things to cope, very helpful post.
but seriously though i’m sick and tired of those masterposts that are like “here! A reference site on Greek mythology for all your needs! Look it has all fifteen Greek gods on it!” And I’m like. tHERE WERE LIKE HUNDREDS OF FIGURES IN MYTHOLOGY YOUR CRAPPY HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL BIBLIOGRAPHY SITE MEANS NOTHING TO ME
if you want a basic outline of Greek mythology okay sure fine??? but like. if you want an extensive fucking reference site you are looking in the wrong goddamn places
as a self-declared greek mythology snob my reference site is fucking alwaysthis fucker right here. almost every single figure ever mentioned in a Greek text is on it, it has the most obscure gods, spirits, nymphs— it’s GREAT. You really wanna extend your mythological knowledge past the basic 12 and like four others? USE THEOI. plus plus PLUS everything is cited so you can actually read the source material written about whoever it is you’re looking at.
fucking signal boost this. i’m so sick and tired of writer’s helpers blogs referring people to sites with as much information you would get from opening a third grade mythology book jesus chriiiiiist
okay so im level 20+ already after two days of playing so i’ll give you guys some tips for gaining levels and the general game
fruit trees refresh every 3 hours, if you don’t have the inventory space for the fruit just shake the tree and leave them on the ground, they won’t rot, and you can maximise your harvest
the shops rotate every 6 hours- 6am, 12pm, 6pm, 12am
do requests for every villager regardless of if you plan to invite them or not for mats, experience and bells
spend your leaf tickets on giving yourself the extra crafting slots ASAP!
the quarry resets every 24 hours to get in for free, add as many people as possible so you can use it
make sure to scroll your friend-list and help out people to get into the quarry, you get 100 bells each time!
every 1 hour, the villagers at your campsite will let you talk to them for gifts and friendship points
when you get a new villager, click ‘auto-arrange’ for their new furniture. it’ll put what they want down and after it gives you the option to revert to your original layout. you do not need to keep their preferred furniture out!!
always have an amenity crafting, always. they take forever and you will need to have them all eventually
the stretch goals are very generous with rewards and very easy, work on them as fast as you can
save up as many materials as you can, the furniture becomes incredibly expensive (60-120+ mats per piece) very fast
don’t be afraid to use your request tickets/calling cards, the game is generous with giving them
when listing items in the market box, be aware that the price does not automatically reflect the quantity. you have to put the price up the more items you add!
feel free to add anymore!! i hope these help your game!
you’re gonna have more than one tree of some type (it’s different for everyone) so sell ur extras in the market boxes for the good $$$
link the h*ck out of your nintendo account and get those sweet my nintendo rewards u can get tons of bells and materials real easy (if u link ur twitter/facebook u get tons of reward points; u do that from the “add friend” button–u can unlink em immediately it doesnt really matter)
use request tickets by asking if a dude wants anything after doing all their requests (it’s not really made clear…)
u can make friends with the random passers-by u can find in the wild if u are lonely and don’t have real friends
i’ve literally never seen a villager ask for a tuna sell it for that sweet sweet cash (they’re worth 5000 bells; theres a bunch of stuff worth 1k+ that u can just sell… ones that are worth 100 do get asked for sometimes and the villagers’ll give u 1k for em)
i don’t think anyone wants coconuts i dont’ know why we keep putting them in our market boxes
i’ve had critters ask for coconuts. of course they did that right after i’d decided coconuts were vendor junk and offloaded them all. 😛
i’m not sure i grasp the utility of calling cards. why would you want to call a critter to a different location?
Specifically to help max out an animal that is not currently in your camp or on the map at the time. I’ve been courting the cats and dogs, so if the ones I’m looking for are currently not in the rotation then I can call them to the area (and then there will be TWO animals at that location for you to help).
ooh and corsica.hockey is amazing for advanced stats. it has skater, goalie, team, game, and line combo stats which it then lets you filter by like a dozen different things. also their player similarity calculator is a lot of fun!
own the puck’s HERO charts are a great way to compare two players (though they appear to be down at the moment 😦 )
literally most things that people write off as just ‘textures’ to use in graphics are stolen & unsourced material created by artists or photographers NOT meant to be used as elements in projects without royalty payments. you can say ‘it’s just random tumblr posts they don’t care’ but you wouldn’t want someone to take your work and edit into their work so they can be praised for their beautiful style and creativity even if they just post it on social media w/o profit, would you?? so maybe if you browse pinterest or google images for pictures without finding the original source, you’re using images that you’re not allowed to use without realizing it.
you see it on here a lot especially in (i won’t link anything but i’m sure you know what i mean) those album track ‘aesthetics’ posts, au ‘aesthetic’ posts (you see these less in kpop, but where people use non-royalty free images to kinda craft a visual au), and even just rather typical graphics that have a lot of ‘texture’ elements. and texture packs too!! that’s often where the problem starts; people just collect images (often literal art), compile them in a folder w/o sources, then insist no one can repost those images w/o crediting the person who compiled them. what???
SO may i suggest some of my fave places you can get FREE, ROYALTY-FREE elements that are totally legal to use
So apparently last year the National Park Service in the US dropped an over 1200 page study of LGBTQ American History as part of their Who We Are program which includes studies on African-American history, Latino history, and Indigenous history.
Like. This is awesome. But also it feels very surreal that maybe one of the most comprehensive examinations of LGBTQ history in America (it covers sports! art! race! historical sites! health! cities!) was just casually done by the parks service.
A useful script to deploy when faced with bigotry or similar disruptions to a group or workplace culture without going into ‘right vs. wrong’ talk that someone awful could attempt to argue with.
That’s really useful.
My favorite remains “taking it literally and acting as though it’s an enthusiastically positive thing”. This usually gets people to stop immediately, because in fact, they are almost certainly vaguely under the impression that “gay” is “bad” and if you act like they’re saying it’s good, they freak out.
just moving along like everyone else
