(and by that I mean in the sense of “fucking” and “shit(ty)”)

So swearing is one of those things that usually has a grammar behind it that’s never really taught, but which sounds nonetheless pretty weird if you get it wrong. So here are some tips.

To describe something as “shit/shitty”, place de merde after it.

Je te le dis, Twilight c'est un livre de merde. I’m telling you, Twilight is a shit book.

Je vais arriver en retard, ma voiture de merde est encore en panne. I’m going to arrive late, my shitty car broke down again.

“Fucking” on the other hand is expressed by placing putain de before the noun, and it’s important to note that while putain is invariable, any articles/demonstratives that precede it have to agree with the actual noun.

Ce putain de chat m'a mordu ! That fucking cat bit me!

J'en ai marre de cette putain d'école. I’m sick of this fucking school.

Je déteste Twilight, ces putain de livres sont partout. I hate Twilight, those fucking books are everywhere.

And of course, seeing as one precedes and one follows the noun, you can easily stack them up for a stronger swear.

Je ne veux plus habiter dans ce putain de pays de merde ! I don’t want to live in this fucking shitty country anymore.

・しろくまカフェ in Takadanobaba, Shinjuku・ Upon entering the cafe, you’ll be greeted by Penguinさん and Pandaくん sitting by the bar. Sadly, there isn’t a space for you to join them. The food is absolutely adorable and coincidentally, there is also a girl working there who looked like Sasakoちゃん！A must visit for Shirokuma Cafe fans or animal lovers ♥︎. The good news is that it is a permanent cafe unlike My Melody Cafe or Pokemon Cafe which are only there for a limited period of time.

Brock has never lied to me.

Change the background colour of the pages to a mint green shade.

It is said that green is a calming colour, however, the main reason why I like this, is because I can write for a much longer period of time now, as a white background I used before made my eyes dry and exhausted after just a few hours of working.

It is basically much more soft and careful to the eyes. I can’t precisely explain why that is. I think it’s that by making a pinch softer contrast of the text and the background, your eyes does not get exposed to as much light.

Just make sure to not make the background too dark, or else your eyes will get exhausted do to over-fixating the lack of contrast between text and background.

And maybe you find a nice pastel/light background shade that fits you; give it a try.

Different things work out and fits for different people. And I just felt like sharing this.

Here’s the shade numbers I used to get my preferred colour:

How a 653+ pound lost 350 pounds and counting with some help from the Internet

Imagine not leaving your house or seeing your friends for years. Imagine not bathing in nearly that long because your body had grown so enormous that it could no longer fit in the shower. Imagine looking down at the scale and seeing the number 653 staring back at you.

That’s where Bodybuilding.com forum member Jesse Shand found himself in 2013. By then, he had given up on the idea of living a normal life—at least by society’s definition of “normal.”

“I spent my days playing video games and trolling the Internet,” remembers Jesse. “I was just all negativity, all of the time.”

Remarkably, Jesse’s transformation started by accident. “It started off as nothing more than an ill-fated attempt to get a rise out of bodybuilding types,” he recalls. Jesse created a thread called “Ask the fattest man on the misc [sub-forum] anything,” posted photos of his then-obese body, and waited, fully expecting—almost inviting—a backlash.

What happened instead set the wheels of change in motion.

in my case, arthritis in my lower spine, bad enough that the specialist said it looked like ‘barnacles’ in an x-ray, coupled with the most stubborn case of bursitis in my right hip, as well as lifelong depression, adhd, and the sensory issues from autism, all combined to make ‘eating right’ and exercise incredibly hard. if for healthy people it’s a hurdle, for me it was a thirty-story brick wall.

fortunately for me, i went to my doctor regularly, had a lot of support from spouse and friends, and could afford to build a therapy pool in my back yard so i can get some exercise without stressing my joints. so i’m only 50 pounds overweight and holding steady, and showing some slow but real progress in strength training.

this guy didn’t get that help, and just kept putting on weight. the thing about obesity is, it compounds its own problems; the fatter you get, the harder it is to do anything about it. and it seems like all we get from the world at large is pointing fingers and laughter. i tried three different gyms early in my process, and got “oh my god are you serious look at that blimpo trying to use the treadmill” looks from at least one person every time i went. that adds up. it makes exercise get associated with shame in your mind, and if you’re already emotionally fragile – say, from depression – you just don’t have the strength to climb that hill every day. or even every week. same with diet; it takes not only willpower, but ‘spoons’ – i.e. mental and physical energy – and executive function. it is mentally and emotionally expensive to work on.

what makes me so happy about this article is that even after he’d given up on himself, he got help and support from other people. strangers, who had no personal investment in his well-being. they just reached out because that’s what humans do, and they had his back throughout the whole long, hard, painful process.

guess who i’m talking about

did you guess? Well you’re fucking WRONG because it’s Susan goddamn Pevensie

They gave her light armor, appropriate for a small archer:chainmail, an arm brace, chest plate, and a light skirt she can easily run around murderizing dudes in the face in

her hair is also only loose in the promo pictures because Susan is fucking busy not dying because her hair was flying into her eyeballs so she braids that shit back

her mail shirt is also loose enough that it doesn’t impede her arm movements it’s almost like she’s dressed for a fight wow

EXODIA

IT’S IMPOSSIBLE

to all the family members and caretakers and educators who think autistic children need to learn to ‘act normal’ so they won’t be bullied: no, they need to be protected from aggressive jerks so they won’t be bullied. just like every other child. and while autistic adults do often need to put on a performance of neurotypicality in the workplace, that is a problem with ableist work environments, not a problem with the autistic adult.

because i’m self-employed, my livelihood doesn’t depend on the biases of a neurotypical boss. so i just don’t bother passing. i wear soft clothes that don’t drive my sensory issues crazy, even though they’re unfashionable. at restaurants, i order the same thing every time. i stim in public, rubbing my buzzed headfuzz and tick-tocking my feet rhythmically back and forth, touching my fingers to each other in a certain order, drumming with my thumbs on my knees or the table or the steering wheel.

i talk about my special interests and let people see i’m excited, and if they don’t want to hear about it, it’s up to them to come up with a subject change. i don’t try to guess what people mean when they’re vague; i say, “i’m not getting it, can you put it in more concrete terms?” i say, “i’m a bit faceblind, i know i’ve met you before but i can’t place you.” i say, “i have loud ears today, can you keep it down?” i say, “nonverbal. text me.” i touch my mouth and pantomime typing.

i say, “i’m autistic. here is how to accomodate my needs.”
