Text from a page about Spanish gender-neutral pronouns. "Personal pronouns Like other languages in the Romance family, Spanish doesn't normally have neutral pronouns. However, people have created some new, neutral pronouns, which are used in some groups that are sensitive about LGBT, gender, and social justice issues. Most of these neutral pronouns work by taking the feminine pronoun, ella, and the standard abstract neuter pronoun ello (which can't be used for people), and substituting a different letter or symbol for the masculine "o" or feminine "a" ending. This approach of substituting a letter is shared by creating other parts of gender neutral language in Spanish, such as neutral-gender endings for adjectives. " In this screenshot, the text "standard abstract neuter pronoun ello (which can't be used for people), " is highlighted.

A graphic depicting the Dunning-Kruger Effect. The left axis is marked Confidence; the bottom axis is Competence. The left extreme is labeled Ignorance, while the right is called Knowledge. Near to the left axis is a line with a high peak labeled Mt. Stupid. As you go to the right right the line drops very low, and this is labeled Valley of Despair. Then it climbs and becomes the Slope of Enlightenment. Just as the line is terminating it has gone flat; this is the Plateau of Sustainability.

hiraeth noun | A Welsh, untranslatable feeling, hiraeth is loosely described as a homesickness for a home you cannot return to anymore or a place which never even existed. Connotations of sadness, yearning, profound nostalgia, and wistfulness are imbued into the state of hiraeth. Overall this beautiful, but painful longing is a an expression of an empty desire and grief over a past life or place. It is the ultimate signifier of a bond, which has ceased to exist.
When my husband died, because he was so famous and known for not being a believer, many people would come up to me – it still sometimes happens – and ask me if Carl changed at the end and converted to a belief in an afterlife. They also frequently ask me if I think I will see him again. Carl faced his death with unflagging courage and never sought refuge in illusions. The tragedy was that we knew we would never see each other again. I don’t ever expect to be reunited with Carl. But the great thing is that when we were together, for nearly twenty years, we lived with a vivid appreciation of how brief and precious life is. We never trivialized the meaning of death by pretending it was anything other than a final parting. Every single moment that we were alive and we were together was miraculous – not miraculous in the sense of inexplicable or supernatural. We knew we were beneficiaries of chance… That pure chance could be so generous and so kind… That we could find each other, as Carl wrote so beautifully in Cosmos, you know, in the vastness of space and the immensity of time… That we could be together for twenty years. That is something which sustains me and it’s much more meaningful… The way he treated me and the way I treated him, the way we took care of each other and our family, while he lived. That is so much more important than the idea I will see him someday. I don’t think I’ll ever see Carl again. But I saw him. We saw each other. We found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful.
You couldn't get hold of the things you'd done and turn them right again. Such a power might be given to the gods, but it was not given to women and men, and that was probably a good thing. Had it been otherwise, people would probably die of old age still trying to rewrite their teens. The Stand, Stephen King
1. Unspoken: Families don't often discuss their culture, they just know what's expected and accepted. 2. Elder Expectations: Older generations have a high expectation that younger generations will keep the same values, customs, and overall family culture. 3. Reciprocal Relationships: All family members are held to the same standard and expected to reciprocate what's given to them or how they are treated.

After the Norman Conquest, the language that would eventually be known as English was a loose conglomeration of differing dialects that were spoken all over the island of Great Britain. The mixing of Latin, French, and local tongues all influenced the formation of this language. People identified their language closely with their national identity, to the point where the words for these concepts may have been considered synonymous. During these centuries of turmoil, the influence of the city of London became a dominant factor in how the language spread and became homogeneous. Because of its location on the Thames River and near continental Europe, London was a cultural hub as well as a trade hub. Between 1300 and 1700, the population of the city grew from 1% of the country’s population to 10%, caused by an influx of transplants from all over who sought better opportunities. Each interaction between the inhabitants of the city influenced the way the language grew and changed. Some of the transplants failed to establish themselves in London and returned home, but elements of their native languages and their own use of English spread throughout the island. There were also merchants that traveled between different regions, buying and selling goods, and every time they associated with an ordinary speaker in the city, they were more likely to spread a particular usage to other areas.

A portrait of Frida Kahlo in a bead necklace and flowers on her head. The captions states: Frida Kahlo told her husband, "I'm not asking you to kiss me, nor apologize to me when I think you're wrong. I won't even ask you to hug me when I need it most. I don't ask you to tell me how beautiful I am, even if it's a lie, nor write me anything beautiful. I won't even ask you to call me to tell me how your day went, nor tell me you miss me. I won't ask you to thank me for everything I do for you, nor to care about me when my soul is down, and of course, I won't ask you to support me in my decisions. I won't even ask you to listen to me when I have a thousand stories to tell you. I won't ask you to do anything, not even be by my side forever. Because if I have to ask you, I don't want it anymore.”
"We praise people for being "naturally?' smart, too, "naturally" athletic, and etc. But studies continue to show, as they have for some time now, that it is generally healthier to praise schoolchildren for being hardworking, than for being naturally gifted. We know now that to emphasize a child's inherent ability places pressure on that child to continue to be accidentally talented, which is something that is hard for anyone to control. When the children who are applauded for their natural skills fail, they are shown to take the failure very personally. After all, the process of their success has always seemed mysterious and basic and inseparable from the rest of their identity, so it must be they who are failing as whole people. When students are instead complimented and rewarded for their effort and improvement, they tend to not be so hard on themselves. When they fail, they reason, "Well, I'll work harder next time." They learn that they are capable of success, rather than constantly automatically deserving of it, and they learn simultaneously that they are bigger and more complex than their individual successes or failures." --Kate of Eat The Damn Cake, The Stupididty of "Natural" Beauty
tumblr user angel-macabre: "jealousy is so disgusting" anger is so toxic" did u know? these are emotions every human has cpt-glasses: I've always been a fan of an analogy I heard once. Your emotions are like one of the lights on your car's dash, When one of them turns on, it means you need to check under the hood and fix them. It's not bad that the light turned on, per se, and it doesn't always mean something is broken. But what IS toxic, dangerous, and likely to break something, is when you let that light stay on, pretending it's normal, until that braking fluid finally fails and you crash into someone, or your engine fails completely. Feel jealous, Feel anger. Just don't let it fester. You need to look inside of yourself, find out why you're feeling the way you are, and bring yourself to a satisfied, stable state of mind. You can look at philosophy, meditation/introspection, religion, or actual therapy, or at least talking to someone about it. You'll find you're much more content and happy when you do something about those feelings, and come to same sort of conclusion or resolution. mistersaturn123: That is a wonderful way of looking at it, thank you. Makes me feel better about myself when I DO feel that way.
These weren't loving thoughts. They weren't even about him. So I thought about him. How he saunters through the door beaming and says "hi gorgeous," how he breaks into a smile sometimes after looking at me for a long while, how he's calling the back room of his house my office These were images of being loved. Evidence that this person is happy to have me around. I needed to acknowledge this evidence to be able to see him clearly in my mind in his times alone. To picture him picking up the phone when I call and smiling
tumblr user engulfes: Growing up is actually all about realizing people don't inherently dislike you and it's a bit odd to assume they do existentialdruid: This Tweet by sung (@killdads): One day I said out loud, “when we're apart I think you must hate me, I picture you seeing my name when I text you and heaving this big sigh because I'm so annoying" and he quietly said "that's a little mean. I wish you wouldn't picture me that way" and something clicked jelliebeanbitch: there are more tweets in this thread
tumblr user womaninpearls: As I get older I'm finding that a lot of the "intellectuals" I used to admire are actually just condescending and pretentious. And also realizing how much more important it is to be present, considerate; and empathetic because nobody really knows what they're talking about and anyone who claims to know everything about anything is feeding you bs. thepoorinspirit-extras: "When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people." - Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel itszombiebear: I am also realizing that actual intellectuals make their subjects easy to understand, and faux intellectuals will attempt to baffle. wolf-of-wall-st: "If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself." - Albert Einstein henrywintears: this is in fact, true. if you are truly an intellectual, you should be able to modify the same information to suit the understanding level of even a child, without changing the meaning.
tumblr user tricky-pockets: so, did I ever tell you guys about the time my roommate accidentally simulated gender dysphoria in VR? too bad, i’m posting it anyway My roommate is a cis man who sometimes makes lady characters in video games because why not? So when he started a new VR game and made a lady character, he didn’t think anything of it. But then he heard the NPCs talking about him with fem pronouns. He got miss/ma’am’d - and indeed, milady’d. This had never bothered him in non-VR games, but in VR it’s much easier to feel like you are actually in the room. They’re not talking about the avatar you control; they’re talking about you. They’re looking at you. Then he happened across a mirror. He saw his pretty lady character instead of his internal picture of what his body looks like. He moved and saw his avatar’s body move in sync. And it was so unsettling that he started over with a new character. He asked if that was what dysphoria was like. I told him “yeah, that’s def in the ballpark” and he was floored, like, “HOLY SHIT, how does anyone deal?” And sometimes I wish I could shove people into a VR headset and give them that experience. also yes, of course I tried the game with a male character. I went straight for the mirror and it sounds silly but I was honestly awe-stricken and almost cried. Yet another “yep, definitely trans” moment.

tumblr user crimsonservbot: You ever hear that old chestnut about how most people neglect the part of the story of Icarus where he also had to avoid flying too low, lest the spray of the sea soak his feathers and cause him to fall and drown? You ever think about how different the world would be if Icarus died that way instead? If the idiom was to Fly To Close To The Sea? A warning against playing it far too safe, about not stretching your wings and soaring properly? You ever think about how Icarus died because he was happy? If I told you I wrote this while thinking about the dangers of being visibly trans vs never trying to transition at all, happiness followed by a bright, burning end, smacking hard against a concrete ocean vs playing it too safe and never flying high, dooming you to a cold, crushing end from drowning, You'd believe me, right?

a tumblr post: weaver-z The weirdest guy I ever met in a church was this boy who referred to "Buzz Aldrin and his husband" going to the moon. I was completely baffled, and when I asked if he'd misspoken, he got really angry and accused me of being deliberately ignorant of the facts. It turned out that he was somehow convinced that Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were married. It took five Wikipedia articles to convince him otherwise. rockshitty The moon landing was fake: tired, passé, heard it before The moon landing was an elaborate marriage proposal: fresh! sexy!

a tumblr post: flittering-sylph Man I hate it when people use the pronoun "you" as a singular pronoun in an informal setting. "You" is plural, unless thou dost speak to an unfamiliar person. The correct singular second person pronoun is "thou" in most cases. Grammar never changes. Pronouns must always stay one way until the end of time. Learn thy proper English. *sigh* Kids these days. gollyplot If thou this mistake shouldst make on thine own blog, then know, villain, that thou art a dirty descriptivist, and no friend of mine.
