just overheard my wife spelling something on the phone and i shit you not saying the words “E as in Eeyore” i am on my hands and knees wailing screaming crying pleading and begging people to learn the NATO phonetic alphabet

like the reason this exists is because none of the words sound like each other, which means that even with a terrible signal both parties should be able to clearly understand the words being spelled

i am dead serious that i believe this should be taught in school

Don't judge a man for his strange tastes....

AND SHE WAS RIGHT!!!

what is HAPPENING

Hey guys, with so much love, and as someone with an actual English degree:

Please just use Sparknotes if you're going to do this. I get it. I do. But chatgpt or other genAI shit doesn't actually know what's important for you to know, and in some cases it might fully make shit up. Use sparknotes. Failing that, talk to someone who did read it. I'm begging.

Hell watching the movie adaptions would probably be more informative than ChatGPT.

And we all know that movie adaptions often lose plot, context, or details that were important to the novel. At least, for most movies, they’ll try to stick to a plot. ChatGPT may lose you along the way.

has tumblr heard about the saga of raefarty yet

y’all the saga continues and Raefarty’s been born!!!

I just want to remind you that sometimes your life really doesn't begin until you are 26+... Romanticizing and obsessing over our youth is harmful. Growing up is beautiful. Discovering who you are and how you interact with the world is a gift. Maturing and learning what you truly want out of life and living in that purpose brings fulfillment and peace. Your life is not over in your early 20's because you haven't figured it out yet, it's just beginning.

I actually made it comic form lmao this was fun

who’s gonna tell tumblr that executive dysfunction is more than Not Doing Things?

okay

these are the executive functions. impairment of these functions is executive dysfunction

Oh.

OH

Girl, help. None of my executives are functioning

My meds help some, but it is still like going through my world up to my chest in water. Without my meds it’s like being up to my chest in mud. It is so hard to regulate my emotions when the default state of my brain is constant and profound frustration.

Unmute !

I’m a big fan of people finding a spiritual or religious practice that works for them but if you’re required to pay money to a particular person or buy a certain thing regularly from a certain place I don’t think that’s a spiritual practice. You may have been scammed.

Like I really don’t think that paying a thousand dollars to go on a meditation retreat is mandatory for your journey to enlightenment. I really don’t.

No matter what kind of religion or type of spirituality you wanna get into there are free resources and/or cheap one time purchases that’ll get you there. I’ve never bought a Bible for myself I don’t think. They just kind of end up at my house. I got my Buddha statue for like 12 bucks. Like don’t listen to people who are trying to get you to buy their courses. The universe will hear your screams whether you have paid or not.

@theshitpostcalligrapher

That goes so hard!

oh perf i needed a prompt

I agree with all of this, but also a substantial portion of the people paying thousands for meditation retreats have more money than anyone needs and deserve to get fleeced

Poor and middle class people go into extreme debt every year getting roped into self help and spirituality scams. That scummy tv preacher isn’t getting all or even most of his fistfuls of money from rich donors. He’s preaching prosperity gospel to everyday folks looking for some relief. And no matter who you are or how poor you are, when you’re desperate enough you start to believe charismatic people who say they can make all your problems go away if you’ll just buy their book.
