small summer self-care tips from one mentally ill person to another, based on ur hogwarts house

slytherin:

• more books if you can, video games that are happy if you can’t.
• find one project you love and chase it doggedly, even if it’s fanfiction. ideally, work on this project w/other friends that are working on projects, so u have accountability and community. 
• set small goals and crush them, even if they’re managing to get rid of the Depression Water that’s been sitting on the side of your bed for three weeks with a dead moth in it
• snack breaks 
• whenever you hear yourself call yourself bad names, whisper “shut up, salasar,” and fix it. call yourself the most ridiculously pretentious and complementary titles you can think of
• every time ur brain tries to kill you, tell it you will succeed out of spite
• acrylic nails, regardless of your gender. sometimes they are 50 cents at the drug store. click click click

gryffindor:

• don’t get caught up in the wildness of summer, try to take a few steps back from friends when stuff starts getting dangerous. write down “we are about to do X” and decide if it’s something your mom would be okay with.
• blanket cape + make urself a paper crown
  
• for every liquor drink please drink 1 glass water. friendship hydration challenges are also a lot of fun, but as a warning, i will win them
• roller coasters will make u feel awake for a bit and that’s fun but friendships shouldn’t make u feel like you’re trapped on one
• courage is your crest. remind yourself of that when ur facing your demons. also, dye your hair a fun color.
• you’re not too much for someone to handle just because you’re energetic or whatever. this summer relish in not toning it down. take your meds with water and bite anyone who makes fun of you for them.
• give urself time to recharge. know your limits. sometimes courage is also saying “no thanks”

hufflepuff:

• the sun isn’t out all the time. you don’t have to always be the cheery one. if you fall, your friends will catch you. keep yourself around your loved ones. they’ll forgive you, even if you’ve been gone.
• cooking and baking for other people is actually so much fun, try and eat a little while you get it done
• watch children’s movies and shows. it’s okay. take a little while and let yourself feel like you’re seven and the world isn’t as loud as it is.
• dark scary makeup and instagram photos
• be patient with yourself. okay you’re not getting better right now but that’s okay. the slope is very slippery. it’s a long climb to the top, but you got badger claws. start with washing your hair. you’ll get there.
• when they are only hurting you, they do not deserve your loyalty. it hurts to say goodbye, but it will be better when they leave.
• hard work does include dragging yourself into the shower after six days without it, good job, you

ravenclaw:

• find something to be curious in every day, keep that mind working. it helps to slowly teach yourself something, even the anatomy of a bird wing.
• you aren’t bad if you can’t focus. neither can i and i’ve been a ravenclaw all my life. 
• it isn’t about being “smart” and you don’t need to fit some neurotypical version of that to be clever; wit comes in all forms and if you chase something unconventional at least you’re chasing something
• tuna and rice is a good meal with a low price and v low production abilities. turn on TedED while it’s cooking and zone out to something vaguely educational. at least you’re learning?
• you aren’t and you’ll never be only good at things because of your disease. if someone says you paint beautifully because you’re sad, paint them eating their words. also, peaceful coloring.
• bird mouth from pringles chips. caw caw
• go outside. catch breeze, draw leaves, eat fruit, discover small happy.

@kedgeree11 vandalized it, @involuntaryorange pushed it

@a-forger-and-a-point-man I believe one day the dick dispenser can be a reality, nestled happily alongside the banana vending machine and the baguette vending machine.

okay i know this is about vending machines but

it’s incredibly offensive that you dared to compare nutritious, aesthetically pleasing, and *always satisfactory* items like a banana and a baguette to a dick. how many times has a dick brought you an equal amount of joy as these delicious carbohydrates which can fuel you for hours? so many ways to use a banana and a baguette, and only like, a handful of ways to use a dick (pardon the pun)

also, you can’t share a dick with a cat

Can you not?

DAMMIT AFTER I HIT “REBLOG” I IMMEDIATELY REMEMBERED THIS IMAGE EXISTS

see it’s true you can’t share, that cat ran away with the whole thing, balls included

this is why we need professors on tumblr

i don’t want to hear one word out of any of your mouths if the anime doesn’t cover the third game because honestly i won’t be surprised and won’t blame them if they don’t!! because their fandom is so fucking petty and nitpicks every detail right down to the ONE MINUTE LONG OPENING because it’s “too generic”
HOW DARE you guys whine for FIFTEEN YEARS about how much you want an anime and then when you get it, all you do is FUCKING COMPLAIN
because you all don’t appreciate this. you don’t. if you appreciated this you wouldn’t be spending all of your time complaining about every detail of it. i’m sick of this fandom taking for granted everything that we have, everything that we’ve asked for and been given
honestly? Capcom has their issues but they’ve given us EVERYTHING. almost everything we’ve asked for, they’ve HANDED to us, and so many of you in this fandom don’t deserve it at all!! because you don’t appreciate it!!
to all the people who called me an elitist and made fun of me when i was worried about what would happen after the anime came out, DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN NOW?? i’m FURIOUS because i can’t go into the ace attorney tags without seeing some kind of hate on the anime and you don’t know how much that AFFECTS me because i’ve been waiting for this for as long as i can remember, and this fandom is taking it and ripping it to shreds
because at the end of the day Capcom has given us EVERYTHING. they’ve brought us together and they’ve given us these amazing games and amazing characters and amazing storylines and now this fandom full of whiny ungrateful assholes is acting like that means nothing to them because the animation is a little wonky
the Ace Attorney fandom is close to physically sickening for me at times. i am so, so, SO tired of scrolling through the tags and seeing hate post after hate post, having hate about the anime sent to my inbox even though i’ve told you i don’t want to hear it, and maybe the rude awakening that this fandom needs would be to have part of this series ripped away from them in the anime. i don’t want that to happen, i don’t, but how can you expect these people to continue to make an anime that people appear to hate??
and if they DON’T animate the whole thing, people will complain about that too!! make up your fucking mind!! what does the Ace Attorney fandom want?? who knows??
damn

is “chai” a TYPE of tea??! bc in Hindi/Urdu, the word chai just means tea

its like spicy cinnamon tea instead of bland gross black tea

I think the chai that me and all other Muslims that I know drink is just black tea

i mean i always thought chai was just another word for tea?? in russian chai is tea

why don’t white people just say tea

do they mean it’s that spicy cinnamon tea

why don’t they just call it “spicy cinnamon tea”

the spicy cinnamon one is actually masala chai specifically so like

there’s literally no reason to just say chai or chai 

They don’t know better. To them “chai tea” IS that specific kind of like, creamy cinnamony tea. They think “chai” is an adjective describing “tea”.

What English sometimes does when it encounters words in other languages that it already has a word for is to use that word to refer to a specific type of that thing. It’s like distinguishing between what English speakers consider the prototype of the word in English from what we consider non-prototypical.

(Sidenote: prototype theory means that people think of the most prototypical instances of a thing before they think of weirder types. For example: list four kinds of birds to yourself right now. You probably started with local songbirds, which for me is robins, blue birds, cardinals, starlings. If I had you list three more, you might say pigeons or eagles or falcons. It would probably take you a while to get to penguins and emus and ducks, even though those are all birds too. A duck or a penguin, however, is not a prototypical bird.)

“Chai” means tea in Hindi-Urdu, but “chai tea” in English means “tea prepared like masala chai” because it’s useful to have a word to distinguish “the kind of tea we make here” from “the kind of tea they make somewhere else”.

“Naan” may mean bread, but “naan bread” means specifically “bread prepared like this” because it’s useful to have a word to distinguish between “bread made how we make it” and “bread how other people make it”.

We also sometimes say “liege lord” when talking about feudal homage, even though “liege” is just “lord” in French, or “flower blossom” to describe the part of the flower that opens, even though when “flower” was borrowed from French it meant the same thing as blossom. 

We also do this with place names: “brea” means tar in Spanish, but when we came across a place where Spanish-speakers were like “there’s tar here”, we took that and said “Okay, here’s the La Brea tar pits”.

 Or “Sahara”. Sahara already meant “giant desert,” but we call it the Sahara desert to distinguish it from other giant deserts, like the Gobi desert (Gobi also means desert btw).

English doesn’t seem to be the only language that does this for places: this page has Spanish, Icelandic, Indonesian, and other languages doing it too.

Languages tend to use a lot of repetition to make sure that things are clear. English says “John walks”, and the -s on walks means “one person is doing this” even though we know “John” is one person. Spanish puts tense markers on every instance of a verb in a sentence, even when it’s abundantly clear that they all have the same tense (”ayer [yo] caminé por el parque y jugué tenis” even though “ayer” means yesterday and “yo” means I and the -é means “I in the past”). English apparently also likes to use semantic repetition, so that people know that “chai” is a type of tea and “naan” is a type of bread and “Sahara” is a desert. (I could also totally see someone labeling something, for instance, pan dulce sweetbread, even though “pan dulce” means “sweet bread”.)

Also, specifically with the chai/tea thing, many languages either use the Malay root and end up with a word that sounds like “tea” (like té in Spanish), or they use the Mandarin root and end up with a word that sounds like “chai” (like cha in Portuguese).

*jazz hands*

language etymology!
