RIP 1800s guys who invented 'ok' by misspelling 'all correct'. U wouldve loved 'pakij' and 'wimdy' and 'ingredience'

specifically, if anyone wants more info, there was a trend among the hip youths of Boston in the 1830s whereby they would intentionally misspell words and then make acronyms from the incorrect spellings. these included “K.Y.” for “Know Yuse” (no use), “O.W.” for “Orl Wright” (alright), etc.

but somehow, the one to make it to nationwide- and later worldwide -prominence was the humble “O.K.” for “Orl Korrekt.” the trend died and was eventually mostly forgotten, but it gave us one of the most frequently-used words in the English language

(note for writers: while O.K. technically existed as far back as the 1830s, it didn’t start appearing in serious conversations until around the mid-20th century. so no, Jo would not refuse Laurie’s proposal in Little Women with any statement involving the word “O.K.” unless she wanted her refusal to have the tone of...I don’t know, “lol, take the L, bestie.” it was slang, for casual or joking or sarcastic use only, until relatively recently)

hazel would like to share with you some – adulting tips!!! – (or those living on their own) 

1. keep track of important documents - seriously. put them in a place digitally or paperly (i keep my tax documents in a folder inside of a bag in my closet - it’s tucked away and I always put it back in the same place every time I use it) 

2. use lastpass.com (or something similar but is SUPER secure) for all your passwords – keep that organized and put in all the information you need in order to get into your stuff (the amount of things you need to log into … its too much to remember) 

3. it’s okay to get stressed out over tax forms (USA peeps, i’m looking at you), legal documents, and other stressful applications - complete complicated forms in doses, and don’t give up! 

4. keep your medical information handy (I made my own medical book. it tracks all my doctors, visits, appointments, and random things that happen throughout the year (even medical bills) – since I get sick a lot, it’s important to track that!) 

5. going to advanced school/college - don’t take out all the loans people offer you! be thoughtful, do a little math/research, and consider your options first (in the USA it’s predatory, and you will overpay :Sob:)

6. drink water, take your medication, go on a walk, wash your face, take care of yourself – you are important and even though it’s hard, you got this!

breaking up, breaking down

summary: if there’s anything you can expect to be consistent in life, it’s that everything has an end. or — genshin men and how they are after you break up with them.

note: angsty in everyone’s part, but it got too lighthearted in childe’s bc i simply cannot take that ginger seriously (affectionate)

ALBEDO

anyway i think ventis love language is.getting carried and also being a nuisance

Remember the Colorado grocery store shooting? Where you all thought the shooter was white and went on and on about how this was why white people cant be trusted and how because he was just shot in the leg, he must have been white? About white supremacy and racism and how white people need to be stopped?

Then it was revealed that the shooter was Syrian and suddenly the narrative was "this isnt the time to talk about race"?

You all project your racist assumptions when it's convenient. You are harsher and more critical on white criminals than those of other races, and act like youre opposing racism by doing this, even outright defending or ignoring killers when they arent white. And this jsnt even social media. Mainstream media like CNN does this too.

Once again, youre supporting discrimination and racism, but with a progressive hat on and pretending like youre making a positive difference.

the thing that struck me hardest about this cutscene was how warm zhongli's light felt. after all of the feelings we had to go through- having to watch xiao suffering over and over, having to watch him repeatedly sacrifice himself until his strength finally gave out- the colors, the music, the overall vibe of the scene just. felt like a hug.

anyway tears in my eyes rn im in shambles over Them i need a moment

this trip may be dangerous, yet you insist on going.

i have guarded this place for several hundred years. only to seek the nameless yaksha do i request your approval.

I know we just got a huge lore dump on Xiao but can we just talk about the fact that this is canon

So Xiao doesn't want people to think he sleeps so they dont do this to him 😭😭😭
