stop voting for donald trump as a joke
seriously, stop voting for this piece of shit
Hello! A lot of you have been asking me where and how I’ve learn multiple languages and well, after a few hours of digging through my browser history and bookmarks, I was able to collect all of these resources. I have personally used all of these, so I can assure you they are useful! If there is something wrong with a website or a link, please let me know. Also, if you have any questions or if you want a learning buddy, my ask box is open. (I speak English and Spanish. I’m learning Korean, German, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Italian, and Esperanto)
Note: Learning a new language requires a lot of dedication, more than you actually think! Especially if you’re learning multiple languages at the same time. It isn’t impossible, but it will take time. And by time I mean months and/or years! So please, be patient. Take your time. Don’t rush. Keep in mind that you will mess up and that’s okay. Practice as much as you can. Practice out loud. Talk to yourself if you can. It doesn’t matter if people think you’re crazy. They won’t be thinking the same when you become a polyglot, so don’t mind them. This is for you and your future.

That’s it. That’s all I have right now. I’ll try to search for more and will keep updating this list! If you have a request for a specific language, just send me an ask. Have fun and good luck!
My sister just got me started on Memrise for Japanese a few days ago and wow, it’s amazing. It’s not just flashcards but a combination of audio+visual+writing and uses user-submitted, ranked-by-vote mnemonic devices whenever possible. Plus, the way it keeps track of your progress is like a game, giving you points for doing well and letting you compete with other people. :)
And you get a bunch of extra points for reviewing old material at set intervals to make sure it sticks in your long term memory! Not to mention it has a very cute design, having each character/word/phrase be a ‘plant’ you have to keep ‘watered.’
Reblog with your name and the name your parents almost gave you in the tags
If you are using a name you picked yourself, use the name you went with and the name you almost went with.
well this is rEALLY CUTE.
IT’S THE CUTEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN.
I have reblogged this at least 5 times and I don’t care
When you raised your kid right
You can say whatever the fuck you want about Angelina, but she is a world class mother and human being.
Dick pics are an example of the free market failing utterly in maintaining a supply and demand equivalency. The demand for dick pics is extremely low yet dudes perpetually supply them and flood the market.
Capitalism is always a failure.
If only my economics teacher put it this way..
i love being an econ student
When your hillbilly coworker shares this bullshit (on top of a transphobic post about Caitlyn Jenner before this one) and you gotta let them know what’s up.
Shut. Down.

Yesterday a 17 year female, who attends Lancaster High School in California, was beaten by a football player, on school grounds, for being gay. After receiving over a dozen blows to her jaw, head, eye and head, all he received was a 5 day suspension by the Lancaster School District. She suffered from a fractured jaw and multiple concussions to the head and the Deputy Sheriff advised her mother to re-think her wanting to file charges against the football player because her daughter pushed him back. The school ended up documenting "assault" charges on the victims school file, NOT the football players!!! To make things worse, the Deputy Sheriff warned the victim, by saying, "Just so you know, if you file charges against him, I'm taking his side." We're attempting to raise awareness and bring this story to light because Lancaster High School is trying to sweep this "Hate Crime" under the rug!
Reblog if you care and please forward to everyone you know. P.S. CBS, KCAL 9 news are running the story tomorrow at 10pm.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!
I USED TO GO TO THE SAME SCHOOL DISTRICT???? I CANT BELIEVE THIS, I LITERALLY CANT (Highland High was the rainbow school everyone was gay there).
Um. No.
The “Football Player” was a 14 year old boy.
He was jumped by two 17 year old girls. Over an argument about cutting in line.
The girl in question? Suffered from a CUT LIP.
The rest of this story is also basically total bullshit.
The poor kid has been getting death threats and harassment over this.
Do some FUCKING research Tumblr
From Antelope Valley News:
The scuffle began shortly after noon when a student let someone cut in line. The 14-year-old boy told the girl she shouldn’t do that. After words were exchanged, her friend, a 17-year-old girl, pushed the young boy backwards causing him to fall over the railing, said Deputy Michael Rust. Another student stopped his fall. Suddenly the two girls began to punch the younger student. The girl who pushed the boy was dressed as and appeared to be a boy and was more than 20 pounds heavier than the young boy, Rust said. The young boy defended himself and fought back, thinking he had been attacked by another boy. After a couple of punches were thrown, the school security arrived and stopped the fight. The school’s deputy from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station cited the two students and released them into the custody of their parents, Rust said. “After he found out that it was a girl, he was very remorseful,” Rust said. Deputies are still interviewing the 40 students who witnessed the scuffle. However, so far all have agreed on what happened, Rust said. Meanwhile, a flurry of false statements about what happened by people who live as far away as Kansas have bombarded the internet. The school, the sheriff’s station and local news media have been flooded with calls from people asking if the postings on Facebook and other social media sites are accurate. The young man has received several threats against his life from people who have read the inaccurate statements and are unaware of the facts.
