well self I Hope This Helps
[IMAGE: a flow chart to review when considering getting into a fight on the internet. I’m not sure how to best transcribe a flow chart but basically it goes:
“should I get into a fight on the internet????”
“NO”
“ah you’re right” (branch ends here) or “ok but….. that sounds fake….”
“LOOK. WHO SAID THE WRONG THING?”
“someone I love + care about”
“WAIT A FEW HRS. THEN SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE IF IT’S STILL BOTHERING YOU. A KIND MESSAGE.” (branch ends here)
“some jerk idk” or “friend of a friend”
“IGNORE IT”
“BUT IT’S SO OFFENSIVE!!!”
“IGNORE IT”
“ B U T ”
(all the way back up to the original answer) “NO”]
for my own reference, other possible retorts to “ignore it” that would also lead back to “ignore it” are:
– but I’ve seen a whole bunch of posts saying this wrong thing recently and i’m sick of it
– but this person approached ME to start a fight about the thing
– I’m having a bad dayI keep getting back to “ok but….. that sounds fake….”
Which Shakespeare Play Should I See?
This coming Saturday is the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death! Not sure what Shakespeare play you should see or read to commemorate the occasion? No worries! I’ve put together a little flowchart to help you make up your mind.
HAPPY SHAKESPEARE-ING, EVERYONE!
(Beautiful, but gone.)
Even A Softer World knows that people shouldn’t be prescriptivists!
well the author is a linguist
Ooh, I didn’t realize that, awesome! I should really add “write webcomics” to the linguistics jobs series, since it’s a thing that people with linguistics backgrounds often seem to go on to do. (I’ve seen legit linguistics in Dinosaur comics, SMBC, and xkcd, to name a few.)
When I was training to be a battered women’s advocate, my supervisor said something that really blew my mind:
“You can always assume one thing about your clients; and that is that they are doing their best. Always assume everyone is doing their best. And if they’re having a day where their best just isn’t that great, or their best doesn’t look like your best, you have to be okay with that.”
Any now whenever anyone in my life, either a friend or a client, frustrates me, disappoints me, or pisses me off, I just tell myself They are doing their best. Their best isn’t that great today, but I have days where my best isn’t that great either.
Advice to the witch children:
1. Step softly.
2. Coat your words in honey, but keep your nails as claws.
3. Listen to the ghosts.
4. Carry always a bird in your chest and a lion in your head.
5. Know that age is not wisdom, and there is as much to be learned from trees as from the books they become.
6. You are not born with a family. Make one.
7. Remember that a thing does not need purpose to have beauty.
8. Do not allow yourself to become chained to logic and order.
9. Revel in chaos, then bend it to your will.
10. Use your wide eyes for watching, your rabbit feet for running, your small size for slipping away unseen.
11. Let them underestimate you.
12. When you open your mouth and frogs leap out, do not be ashamed.
13. You are the changeling children, magic born into small bodies with untried hearts.
Do not waste them.
