BE A STUDENT OF WHAT YOU ADMIRE

BROADEN YOUR CULTURAL HORIZONS
REVEL IN THE ANALOGUE
ACTION ABSORBS ANXIETY
GRIEF IS PRODUCTIVE; GUILT IS NOT
They act like they don’t care, but we all know they’re just avoiding a massive emotional explosion.
One of them starts to spill their feelings, then clams up like, “Uh, never mind…” Cue the frustration.
One character throws out something super personal like it’s no big deal, but you can tell the other one’s like, “Wait, what?”
They let something slip that they were totally not ready to share, and then they freeze like, “Did I just say that?”
The “I’m fine” smile (but they’re not). One gives this shaky smile that doesn’t fool anyone, especially the other character.
They almost grab each other’s hand or hug, then they hesitate, and the moment passes. UGH, so frustrating!
One of them’s on the verge of tears but is trying sooo hard not to lose it. You can feel how much it hurts.
They talk about literally everything except the thing that’s actually bothering them. So. Annoying.
They used to be shoulder to shoulder, but now they’re standing a whole three feet apart like something big changed.
One’s suddenly acting like they barely know the other, being all polite and formal, and you just know there’s more going on.
I'm convinced Mythbusters needs a reboot. Misinformation or mythinformation if you will, is at an all time high. We NEED the show that promotes critical thinking to come back. It doesn't need the same cast, in fact I think it would be better with some fresh faces. Imagine all the good it would do if you could just show your crazy uncle the Mythbusters reboot episode that debunks his anti-vaxx conspiracy in an easily digestible and entertaining format.
also while im taking potshots at the US. football is a bloodsport and the only reason it's not acknowledged as one is because the football industry does medical theatre to appease the sensibilities of football fans who do not want to acknowledge that american football is a bloodsport where football players lives are proffered up for their entertainment. do you know how many american football players who have suffered life-destroying TBIs kill themselves by specifically shooting themselves in the heart so that their brains can be preserved and studied, to hopefully end the bloodsport of american football? anyways. "go birds" meme but like genuinely american football is a bloodsport and should be dismantled as a cultural institution. something something the profoundly american impulse to watch people die for their entertainment while refusing to acknowledge that they are responsible for this blood etc.
As someone that has a new, complex set of food allergies, thank you for this.
So due to food allergies and other nonsense, the standard "we're out of..." grocery store pads aren't helpful for me - they have a ton of stuff if them that nobody in my house consumes and because I have to do my shopping at 3 stores the organization of the pads isn't terribly useful.
So I made my own as a whiteboard and stuck it on the fridge.
It's divided into 3 main categories: perishable foods, shelf-stable foods, and foods for specific individuals in the house.
All of us eat veggies and eggs and peanut butter, but large bastard is the only one who eats frozen pizza and sandwich rolls. All of us eat tofu and carrots, but I'm the only one who needs bread from a specific store and eats lunch meat.
This makes it easy for me to tell at a glance where shopping needs to be done (if I need a bunch of stuff then we have to go to trader Joe's, but if all we need are staples we can go to aldi; if we're low on a lot of pantry items but don't need any produce we can go to walmart).
The way that I put together the board is by figuring out the stuff that had most often necessitated a trip to the grocery store for just that one item. I can't tell you how many times I have started getting ready to cook and then had to run out and get onions because I forgot that we were out of onions.
Now if I'm down to one or two onions i put a dot on the board and the next time i go shopping i get onions. When i open the last bottle of tamari or bag of coffee, i put a dot on the board.
It's also a really handy list to have while getting ready to shop because we can stand in front of it and use it as a reminder to *check* what we're low on. Do we need milk? Open the fridge and figure out if we'll run out before the next time we go shopping. Does tiny bastard need more peas to reward her for taking her insulin? Open the freezer before we gather up the shopping bags to find out.
Then it's super easy to take a photo and go shopping, and when we get back to erase the dots for stuff we got but leave the dots for stuff from another store or that was out of stock.
I've been using system for a few months now and it has been very helpful for preventing food waste and for reducing the number of trips we take to the grocery store, both of which save us money.
It's made out of a small whiteboard (about 9x14 inches) that i glued magnets to. The list items are written in permanent marker and the dots are dry erase marker. I put dots in the center of the boxes because if you overlap permanent marker with dry erase, it will wear away the permanent marker.
Anyway. This system has helped me, maybe it will be helpful for other folks as well.
I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!
