My blog is somewhat like a library of various cool posts I’ve found over the years–find posts by opening the Read More link and tapping the links below. Items are in alphabetical order by type. (I’ve tried to sort them as well as I can, but there’s a lottttt of tags…my apologies to your scrolling fingers in advance!)
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post
…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
i need all the help i can get for finals
Hey so
the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.
So you know.
This might be the real one, y’all.
Trying my luck 😭🙏
i’m tired of these not working, dammit. i need that luck!
reblogging SPECIFICALLY for the End Note which is widely applicable
For any trans (or really any queer) kids who are struggling through this right now, I want you to know
This is not your fault,
you are not wrong,
it wouldn’t be fixed if you were just somehow a different person
Because this guy is right, love is unconditional and this type of parent only loves you on the condition that you are exactly what they want you to be
it's always so funny when a band makes a song that is nothing like their usual music just to fuck around a bit and then that becomes their most popular song. kind of humiliating for them i imagine
You are not “wasting your potential” because you took a break, or because you’re exhausted, sick or because you are struggling to find purpose. Please, take some time off, take care of yourself, listen to the needs of your body and your mind. Do the things you want to do to make you happy and fulfilled, not what others think you should, not what’s more successful in their minds. You aren’t wasting your life, nor wasting your potential. You are still deciding how to live it, what is the purpose of it, and you will find motivation to fight for what you want when you figure yourself out, but please take your time and don’t listen to the pressure of people around you to comfort to their expectations of success.
explanations of what authentic haiku are always do such a bad job explaining the distinction between english syllables and japanese morae
a mora is a unit that measures how long words take to say when speaking at what's perceived as a constant rate. this concept is somewhat irrelevant to english, because the pulse of english speech is based on stress and not the absolute lengths of words. there is no way to write a haiku in english that authentically follows the same conventions used in japanese, just as there is no way to write a limerick in japanese that follows the same conventions used in english. you can certainly try, but in either case you'd be missing "the point" of what makes the style sound poetic in the language it was made for
hate to say it but the key to having things solved by big company customer service is you just gotta stretch the truth with them. or straight up lie. actually. was on the phone for 3 hours because they sent something to the wrong address and spoke to 10 different departments trying to figure out if anyone could go fucking get it and they're like "uhhh but can you go get it" bitch I'm 8 hours away by car, I don't live in the house where you sent it.
took a moment to think, called back and was just like. Hi. My package was stolen off the porch!!! Saw the cunt steal it myself!! Anyway can you please send new things to this other address for free since that's your policy for stolen goods thank you~☆ ! and it was immediately solved.
actually my tags are too good not to include
follow me for more customer service tips and tricks
THIS is how it's done!!!
when we were teenagers, my best friend once asked a telemarketer whether the magazine they were selling was available in braille. i’ve never been more proud of her
