Every time I see this post, I remember briefly after I came out to my mother, I had to calmly and rationally explain “Women can like video games and computers too”

sappho: when i look at you, my voice fails me. sweat pours down me, i shiver and shake. i am lost in love.

the straights: a passionate friendship

sappho’s friends: she fuck girls hets: u mean…platonic fucking…like a very long warm hug of friendship…just gals being pals

Straights lack so much romantic imagination that they can’t comprehend romantic poetry

punk rock wlw playlist

I’m tired of seeing people make gay song recommendations where every single artist is a synthpop singer, so here’s a list of punk rock songs written by/about wlw for all your gay needs.

1. “I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone”, Sleater-Kinney 2. “So-Called Str8 Grrrl”, Gina Young 3. “Rebel Girl”, Bikini Kill 4. “The Galaxy is Gay”, The Butchies 5. “Rebecca”, Against Me! (the lead singer of this band is a trans woman, as well, and writes a lot of songs about her experiences with gender. You guys should all go check her band out) 6. “My Best Friend’s Hot”, the Dollyrots 7. “Queer for You”, The Degenerettes 8. “She’s so Lovely”, Sleater-Kinney 9. “Truck Drivin Girlfriend”, The Degenerettes 10. “Rockerchick”, Lipstick Homicide 11. “Straight”, Veruca Salt 12. “Ellen D”, The Butchies 13. “November”, Kera & the Lesbians (more folk punk-y than anything else but still a severely underrated song) 14. “What’s Expected of You”, Lipstick Homicide 15. “Two Coffins”, Against Me!

I don’t really know how to end this playlist so uh. im a big ol useless lesbian and I lov girls lmao

As someone with multiple bilingual friends where English is not the first language, may I present to you a list of actual incidents I have witnessed:

  • Forgot a word in Spanish, while speaking Spanish to me, but remembered it in English. Became weirdly quiet as they seemed to lose their entire sense of identity.
  • Used a literal translation of a Russian idiomatic expression while speaking English. He actually does this quite regularly, because he somehow genuinely forgets which idioms belong to which language. It usually takes a minute of everyone staring at him in confused silence before he says “….Ah….. that must be a Russian one then….”
  • Had to count backwards for something. Could not count backwards in English. Counted backwards in French under her breath until she got to the number she needed, and then translated it into English.
  • Meant to inform her (French) parents that bread in America is baked with a lot of preservatives. Her brain was still halfway in English Mode so she used the word “préservatifes.” Ended up shocking her parents with the knowledge that apparently, bread in America is full of condoms.
  • Defined a slang term for me……. with another slang term. In the same language. Which I do not speak.
  • Was talking to both me and his mother in English when his mother had to revert to Russian to ask him a question about a word. He said “I don’t know” and turned to me and asked “Is there an English equivalent for Нумизматический?” and it took him a solid minute to realize there was no way I would be able to answer that. Meanwhile his mom quietly chuckled behind his back.
  • Said an expression in English but with Spanish grammar, which turned “How stressful!” into “What stressing!”

Bilingual characters are great but if you’re going to use a linguistic blunder, you have to really understand what they actually blunder over. And it’s usually 10x funnier than “Ooops it’s hard to switch back.”

Other things that may happen:

-Associating a person to one language is pretty common, so attempts at talking any other language to them may cause giggling, awkwardness or switching back without realizing.

- Knowing specific vocabulary in one language but not the other, like because you follow social justice blogs or watch make-up tutorials in one language only. When you try to talk about that in another language, you may get stuck or make up words.

- Some specific things are just hard to remember the translation of, like names of flowers, cereals, berries, birds… particularly if they are common in one country but not the other. Like, I thought a mockibgbird was a ruiseñor but apparently not?

Do this four times repeatedly and you’ll be out. But how does it work? There’s some real brain science behind it.

We’re trying this tonight!

It’s about time someone got around to uncovering all the cheat codes for this “human being” software. It’s only been out for like 10,000 years.

?????????????

I’ve used this technique for about a year, and I can safely say that it has efficiently transformed my sleeping habits from several hours of struggle to fall asleep, to passing out in a matter of minutes.

It’s a form of Alexander Technique. It’s a technique that was designed for actors to keep their body in ready working condition and give it the best way to perform. This is the method used to calm, and center the body. Once the body is at that point it can perform anything you want it to.

Reblogging for later reference after I tried it earlier today to try to calm down. It actually does help a lot, not just for sleep but if you have problems with anxiety.

My default mental setting is “vibrating intensely in the background.” After doing this, I felt noticeably calm and relaxed - I wasn’t as fixated on my breathing, I wasn’t tense, my movements weren’t jerky and I didn’t feel like I had to be as tense as possible to be under control. 10/10 would recommend.

me gonna try it

dont wanna reblog but insomnia is a bitch for some ppl so heres for my mutuals having trouble sleeping.
