“I am sitting at my kitchen table waiting for my lover to arrive with lettuce and tomatoes and rum and sherry wine and a big floury loaf of bread in the fading sunlight. Coffee is percolating gently, and my mood is mellow. I have been very happy lately, just wallowing in it selfishly, knowing it will not last very long, which is all the more reason to enjoy it now.” (Tennessee Williams, from a letter to Donald Windham)

Saw Joker

For me, the film was saying "look at the world and the inequalities. We need to change that."

Workplace bullying, cuts in funding for mental health care, harassment of women, mocking people, poverty, and people just being dicks to eachother. People like Arthur Fleck, struggling to make ends meet, unappreciated by family, lonely, ostracised for being mentally ill, are slipping through the cracks. And I felt like this film was telling us we need to deal with it. World wide. We need to mend the gap between the working class and the stupidly rich. The corrupt governments. The greed and the ignorance. The racism, the media manipulation. All of the shit in the world: we need to change. That's what I got.

Films and video games don't create murderers.

Films and video games are excuses for criminal action only by ignorant people.

People saying this film could trigger mentally ill people to commit crimes are ignorant and continue to stigmatise mental illness. This includes the media.

some of yall never have to deal with the constant doubt in your own ability to be loved to the point where you get second hand embarrassment at the idea of someone being in love with you and finding you attractive because you’ve been diagnosed with ugly and cringy your whole life and it really shows

The Hosting Game is a paranormal game in which the players must summon three ghosts. To play the game the participants must have 3 matches, a clock, a pen, and paper. The house must be completely empty except for the person playing. Before the game is started the participant must enter a small empty room with no windows, if windows are present they must be covered. The room is the hosting room where the ritual will take place. When the game started go the the opposite side of the house and in complete darkness enter each room and say “I will be ready soon.” Once the player is in the hosting room write “you are invited to a gathering hosted by ____ at (what ever the current time is), bring your friends.” Place the paper on the floor. The player must go to the doorway and stand in it facing the room and say that they are ready and spirits are welcome to enter. When spirits come count to ten and light the match if the match lights say “I’m glad to see you, thank you for coming.” If the match doesn’t light immediately skip and repeat the process with the remaining matches. If the match doesn’t light on the first strike it means that uninvited guests have come. If this happens go immediately to the nearest light source and turn it on, this will end the game. If the game goes according to plan,try to listen to whatever voice that can be heard. However the player must not turn around. To end the game say “Goodbye thank you for coming.” and turn on a light.

Hello! Thank you @avidlove for sending in a request for this masterpost! I honestly had so much fun making it (and the icons) ahaha. This is basically just a quick guide on my school essentials. Hopefully it’ll be useful for you guys!

PS: I made all icons except the first 2 paper clips, the whistle, and the 2 water bottles. Those were taken from Google Images. All credit goes to respective owners.

Surviving School

Websites: 

  • Compare and Contrast - Finds similarities and differences for anything. 
  • Word Reference - Finding translations for multiple languages. DO NOT USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE. 
  • Easy Bib - Make bibliographies for free. 
  • Info Please - Great for research and facts. 
  • On This Day - Search any day and it will find events that happened on that day. This is good for History class. 
  • World Fact Book - See statistics, facts, and graphs about any country. 
  • Spell Checker - Checks your spelling and grammar and it gives you options on correcting your sentence. 
  • Learn French - Learn French for free with worksheets, videos and through Skype Calls. 
  • Vocabulary - Find vocabulary from books or type in your own words to get definitions. This is really useful for when you are reading a book and need a list of new vocabulary. 
  • Fact Checker - Checks if any research and facts you have are correct or incorrect.

Apps: 

  • Dragon Dictation - Speak into the microphone and the app turns what ever you are saying into text. This saves time instead of typing out long essays you could just say it out and let the app type. 
  • Periodic Table - Interactive periodic table where you can see information about each element 

Taking Notes:

  • OneNote - You can make lists, take notes, and even share your notes with anyone. You can have these notes on any advice. (Also an app) 
  • Popplet - Make a web diagram to put all your ideas on. 
  • Evernote - Take notes and have them on any device. (Also an app)
  • Jot - Allows you to take notes on the “New Tab” page. (Google Chrome Extension) 

Staying Focused: 

  • Blocking Distracting Websites - Blocks websites you put into the blacklist for a certain amount of time. You are allowed a certain amount of time on the blacklist websites and you get to choose the time to set. (Google Chrome Extension) 
  • Timer - This is a timer that stays in the corner of the web browser. This is really useful for allowing yourself a break and setting a timer for when your break should be finished. 
  • Calendars - This website lets you make free calendars and print them. 
  • Place a sticky note somewhere around your work area that says “Do Homework” or “Stay Focused” so when ever you see it you are reminded to do your work. 
  • Make a list before starting homework or an assignment. Write down what you want to get done, what you are focusing on and what you want to learn after doing the assignment. From experience, when you have a list where you prioritize your work it is easier to focus on it. 

Taking a Break: 

  • Watch a TED Talk. They’re educational and entertaining. Use the Topics page to find a talk about something you like. 
  • Take a walk outside to stretch out and to get some fresh air so your mind can focus later. 
  • Grab a snack. Try to eat something healthy and light, avoid anything with a lot of fat and oil. 
  • Draw or colour. If you aren’t very good at drawing then just scribble with a marker on a white board to do something relaxing before getting back to homework which can be stressful. 
  • Do not go on the internet to check your email or notifications because you may get caught up and not realize how much time you are spending on the internet. 
  • Do something you enjoy. This can be play an instrument, write, sing, dance, etc. 

Tips/Tricks for School: 

  • Join clubs that focus on things related to the classes you are taking. If your school offers science clubs join them because they could possibly make science class more fun and explain various topics you learned. 
  • Keep a water bottle with you at all times during the school day because you never know when you might feel tired or nervous. 
  • Listen to the daily announcements ! They usually talk about events coming up, what they are selling in the cafeteria, and about new clubs. 
  • Keep extra pencils, sweatpants, pads, gum and granola bars in your locker just in case something occurs. 
  • If you take public transit to school see if there are special offers for students. Most areas have some sort of discounted fare for students. 
  • Pick your outfits for the week so you are prepared in the morning for every day of the week. 
  • Take at least one fun class each year because that class allows you to relax and be in a positive environment. It also reduces your stress you may have from other classes. 
  • Talk to your teacher, guidance counselor, and adults in the school so they can help you out with school work and possibly be easier on you when it comes to marking. 

Please add more if you have any more tips/tricks!
