…Though honestly, a line from “Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of War Drums” was not what I was expecting.

…Okay, so I actually live really close to one of the former sites (Gila River), and yet this was never discussed in any history lessons I ever took?
Despite it, you know, being MAJOR part of US history and prolly something very notable (and somewhat tangible) for Arizona’s ‘modern’ history.
Actually, we never actually covered how shitty the US was to immigrants beyond the...

Listen, I know tumblr only cares about American news, but this is really fucking tragic, and if this doesn’t get an coverage I will be incredibly angry.
The conservative’s bedroom tax has actually led to a woman taking her own life. Let me repeat that for you; a piece of government legislation had had such a detrimental impact on someone’s life that they wrote letters, packed up their...

(My thought process as I was watching it. Note, Cyprus was skipped as it had to be the least inspiring of any of the performances during the semi-finals.)
So, Austria’s entry seems very uninspired. It’s not even all that annoying.
And Estonia’s singer looks like she’s wearing a bath towel, but the song’s pretty. (This is an opinion offered on the understanding that...

…That’s what? The 10th or so thinspo/self harm glorifying/fashion blog you think I’d LOVE to follow in the past week.
Stop that shit, right now. Mostly because ick. Just Ick, ick, ick, ICK! Just because I have talked about self harm in the past does NOT mean I want to deal with people who glorify it. Thank you very much.

if you believe that tumblr has taught you more than school, maybe you should really start paying more attention in school and a little less to tumblr
Right…when was the last time your school (as I’m assuming this is aimed at the folks on Tumblr not in Uni) taught you about non-binary identities?
How about trans* rights?
How about non-mainstream cultures?

Here, UCLan, let me give you my life story....
But seriously, I know the UK’s cracked down on international students, ignoring my current status as a home/EU student, but do you REALLY need to know my past employment history, where I’ve lived for the past 6 years, where I’d abide if I hadn’t been moved to the US, and other such questions?
I mean, you could take the nice, simple approach of asking me where I last lived,...

how to deal with someone who has alexithymia
autisticdrift:
“deal with” is kind of offensive and condescending, but let’s ignore that and address the underlying question.
1. Don’t constantly ask us how we feel about things. When you’re alexithymic, figuring out how you feel about something is hard work and not always possible.
2. If we say we don’t know how we feel, take it at face value. We’re not playing head games with you or being...

For fuck's sake.
“We need to check if you’re eligible for UK/EU Home fees, because we see you’ve lived in the US for the past 10 years.”
You’d think that UCAS would, you know, keep shit like this on file. Or is that an oversight, because nobody who isn’t a native resident in the UK wants to stick around.
SO:
Am I a UK citizen, therefore eligible for home fees AND residency?

And to make matters worse about the weather:
There is a bird, somewhere, that lives on/in/around the hill behind my room.
It’s singing.
Now let us note that it is nearly 1 in the morning. It’s pissing it down.
And this bird is singing.

Note to self: Be careful what you wish for
(And in this case, you complained for an ungodly amount of years about the lack of rain in Arizona.
Now, you complain about the continual rain in Bradford.
You’re a little shit.
Also, next move: Some place less windy.)

I hate job searching.
Do you know why?
Because most retail stores (Primark, Mark and Spencer’s, Next, etc) have some of the most inaccessible layouts for their ‘so you want to sell your soul to retail’ applications.
Also, the lying. Having to lie because people. And ‘personality questionaires’

Because no way in HELL am I walking 4+ miles through Bradford when I have NO CLUE where the fuck I’m going.
(Mostly also, the route does mean that I’m on a main road and may have to cross a motorway at some point…which is a “I will not do this at all” sort of thing…because Bradford drivers)
