Can I have your attention for a minute? I feel like I have an important(ish?) thing to bring up here.
Y’all know that all too familiar feeling when scrolling along here that you feel like everyone is the same age?
That’s not the case. And it can be a dangerous mindset.
Just a friendly -scary- reminder that I’m actually a grown ass adult, turning 21 in a month or so. And whilst my intentions are not predatory in the least, I want everyone to feel safe in thier online environment.
If y’all don’t want me, a grown ass adult to be following you; that is okay. This is supposed to be your safe space.
Please know that its okay if y’all wanna ask me politely to unfollow. I won’t be offended- I am completely aware of the age gap and I want y’all to feel comfortable.
And to my fellow older peeps- if you get offended when a 13-15ish person asks you to hit unfollow? Y’all should probably ask yourselves why that is the case. These are kids we’re talking about. We should want them to feel safe.
Aight. With that out of the way, feel free to go on your merry way.
It’s important to add: you don’t even have to ask politely. Just ask. Or block, whatever works best for you.
If you’re in bed a lot,
you might be lonely. Studies suggest
lonely people spend more time in
their beds despite the fact that they
often have trouble sleeping. This is
because chronic loneliness not only
causes insomnia, it can also make you
feel the need to be in your bed even
when you’re not actually tired. SourceSource 2
The phrase ‘Ye Olde’ is fairly new- but
you’re saying it wrong. In the late 1800s,
businesses used it to sound ‘old timey,’
but the ‘ye’ is actually pronounced ‘the.’
The confusion comes from an old letter
for ‘th’ that eventually started being
written as a ‘y.’ At first, everyone knew
the ‘y’ was a ‘th,’ but over time, the word
was confused with the old version of
‘you,’ like what’s used in the Bible and
‘O Come, All Ye Faithful,’ so people just
started pronouncing it ‘ye’ instead. SourceSource 2Source 3
JK Rowling: Suddenly, light started shining through the window!
J.R.R. Tolkien: The window, which hanged on the wall, softly letting its curtains dance around the room, suddenly brought a bright light into the house.
Douglass Adams: Quite unexpectedly, light shined through the window in the room, which was less surprising when you think about the fact that’s what windows are for.
Lemony Snicket: Light shined through the window abruptly.
abruptly, usually means unexpected, or sudden. For instance, if your mother picked you up from school after telling you twice about doing that, it would not be abruptly. However, if someone were to tell you your house burned down and your parents were dead without telling you to sit down first, it would very much be called, abruptly.
