Here’s a really simple thing a lot of messy people never learned: clean people are clean people because they do little household tasks as soon as they need to be done. Messy people? We leave it for some undefined future time, which often ends up being never. It’s much, much easier to wash one meal’s worth of dishes, or put away one load of laundry, or clean off a countertop with only a day’s mess on it than it is to handle those things that have been left for days or weeks or months.
Becoming a less messy person is about doing the little stuff more often. Put everything away when you get home from the store. Clear off the coffee table once a day instead of every few weeks. Over time, those little tasks and habits will become instinctive, and you’ll be on your way to being a recovered messy person. You’ll also find you have no need for intense, whole-house marathon cleans.
If you’re a messy person, you can change. You’ll probably never be an effortlessly neat person, but that’s fine! You’ll be a kinda messy person who cleans up after yourself, and who has a not-messy home. And that’s a great goal to have.
And spare us the comments like, “Who doesn’t know this already?” Lots of us, so hush. If you already know and do this, congratulations on your immaculate home. This advice isn’t meant for you, so feel free to take a seat on the nearest (undoubtedly spotless) chair or couch.
Reblogging to add a reminder that I’m never going to be OK with someone
coming into the comments on one of my posts to be an asshole to
someone looking for support or advice. I know I can’t control what
people say or do, but within the community I’ve created, I have zero
patience for that bullshit. If someone comes here and says that they’re
having difficulty because of the circumstances of their life, it’s my
job to make sure they can get the resources and support that will help
them, and to tell anyone being a shithead about it to go somewhere else.
Not on my posts, people.
i hope young black girls in predominantly white areas are loving and being unapologetically themselves today instead of trying to appease their white peers and i hope they know that they dont have to try to fit in with them bc 1. yt girls arent above them in any way shape or form and 2. theyre perfect as they are
Well this brought me back a solid decade. Man I haven’t thought about this song in so long! I remember there was like a more alt rock duet version of this that I was secretly hoping for but this is adorable
Old People: WHY, THANK YOU. YOU’RE SO KIND. EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS YOUNG MAN HELPING OUT THE COMMUNITY. WHOO, THIS GENERATION IS SO POLITE AND KIND. I WOULD PLAY BINGO WITH THIS YOUNG MAN ANY DAY. GOD BLESS YOUR BEAUTIFUL SOUL.
Have you ever seen the kanji 正 be written in anime or Japanese film and wondered why they were writing it?
There’s actually a cool reason why. In the same way, in the USA, tally marks are used to count, 正 is used to count by 5s. This is because it has 5 strokes making it easy to count a large sum by multiples of fives.
正 is the 5-stroke kanji that’s preferred for counting by 5′s because the strokes are straight, easy to write, don’t intersect and have space between them. It’s easy to distinguish the differences between each one.

For example, 正 正 正 正 T is 22.
This is used in Korea and Taiwan as well 😀 Very handy when ordering stuff at restaurants that have paper menus where you fill in what you want.
It’s like how in America we use tallies. It just uses a well known 5 stroke kanji instead of 4 straight lines and a diagonal
When I was about to start high school, my mom told me that senior boys were grown men, and if any were interested in me then I should ask myself why they, as adults, were interested in a kid right out of middle school. And why they couldn’t get someone their own age.
Be safe, kiddos. A year counts a lot more when you’re younger, and the kind of senior who wants to date a freshman is well aware of this.
Her tuition so damn high she can wear whatever tf she wants
Spite goals
There’s a better thing to her story. She CONTINUED her thesis in her underwear and afterward her professor said “what would your mother think wearing those kinds of clothes”
And she responded “my mother’s a feminist also a gender and sexuality studies professor. She’s fine with my shorts”
i think the best part is that a majority of the class also stripped with her in solidarity
Just to give a little more perspective after reading the story:
The sequence of events is a little jumbled in the telling above. The actual chastising from the teacher came days before the woman’s thesis, during a practice run of her presentation. This was not a spur-of-the-moment thing where she just whipped off her clothes for the sake of being angry. Chai took the time to think things through before deciding this was the way she wanted to protest. She used critical thinking and level-headedness to decide instead of becoming volatile and aggressive, she would choose non-violent protest.
I just don’t like the way the story’s being told by others because it makes her come across as “overly-emotional” and “erratic” (as women often do in the media, because it’s easier to attribute extreme action to “hysteria”), whereas in actual news reports, she had time to think about her decision and choose the best way to handle what happened to her.
