To other people, you’re the special, unlockable character that they worked and worked to finally get- and when they do they’re so happy because they got the game just so they could find you.
The fact y’all are still passing around this post, eight years after I made it. Exquisite. I hope it’s still resonating with people outside of mid-2010’s tumblr.
this happened nine and a half hours ago. as of right now, there’s no official info about the victims and the people missing. the only pieces of information available come from other students who took on compiling lists of names and the current state of those individuals and sharing those on social media in hopes of being able to help. the news coverage is constant, but poor.
there would’ve been way more victims had the police not acted as quickly as they did. still, there were mistakes made and i hope the department will be able to recognize them and act on them.
school shootings and shootings in general are not a thing here, they don’t happen, people often haven’t been given proper instructions on how to act in case of an active shooting in years. i still remember a mass shooting that took place in a hospital in ostrava. that was five years ago, 7 people dead.
the endowment fund of charles university has raised almost 3 million kč (over 121 000 EUR/134 000 USD) in nine hours. we are not the largest, nor the most populous country and considering this is the amount raised overnight, the fund starting at 10 pm, i can only guess how much will be there at the end of the day.
thank you for raising awareness, thank you for standing with us, thank you for donating.
Y’all ever think about how there are universal human experiences that art connects us to, but there are also human experiences so painfully specific that it takes possibly decades for you to find art that speaks to them?
And you finally find that poem or story or song that’s like “I know. I have felt this before. I understand. This is real.” and you’re struck all of a sudden by the obscurity of being human. Art is a shining tapestry of commonality and understanding, but it’s also just small voices pulled from the abyss and us stumbling around in the dark to grab at them.
Don’t get me wrong. It is a beautiful, powerful miracle that it’s possible. But it’s not easy. Sometimes you’ll be lost and alien for many years before a piece of art comes to you that says I know, I feel this too.
this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it
buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell
leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist
put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.
when that little voice in your head says “i dont need to write that down, ill remember it” that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!
plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.
if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge
if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.
its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because “this shouldn’t be this hard”. it is hard, so make it easier.
I love watching The Crown but I don’t remotely take it seriously. Man, this season was just straight-up pro-royal propaganda. Diana returns as a ghost to tell now-King Charles how great he is. The Queen dances with a Black GI to prove that the royal family really aren’t racist, guys, we promise. Saintly Prince William is the only one who protests wicked Prince Harry’s costume party, because he’s not racist either! Kate’s scheming lower-class mother plots to marry her daughter off to a prince but Kate’s love for William is pure and wholesome nevertheless!
It was so funny. I will miss laughing at The Crown.
