Boil the Frog is how I find a LOT of my music. You can type in any artists you like and find very similar songs! It even makes you a Spotify playlist if you want!
It’s GREAT, and it’s how I’ve discovered a lot of super underrated artists. I use it weekly and it’s always a blast.
Everyone’s like “those Germans have a word for everything” but English has a word for tricking someone into watching the music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.
Here’s
a list of Japanese words I personally think are useful for travellers to Japan.
It has some words I see often or words I wish I would have known at some point
when travelling. I might update this occasionally when I come up with more.
For
abbreviated terms, you can cut out words [in square brackets]
Japanese vowel pronunciation (for Romanization in italics)
‘a’ like in ‘ah’ and ‘ha’
‘i’ like in ‘Wii’ and ‘be’
‘u’ like in ‘June’ and ‘food’
‘e’
like in ‘hey’ and ‘neigh’
‘o’ like in ‘row’ and ‘doe’
Some vowels become silent in normal speech, but there is no strict rule (often in
su and shi)

some people’s blogs are being incorrectly flagged as explicit so if you would like to check your status, you can look it up on postlimit.com.
if you have been incorrectly marked as nsfw, you can appeal before tumblr permanently filters you as such and your blog is set back to default settings prior to december 18th here.
Everyone: this is how I found out I was flagged and marked explicit. Check your stuff out and make sure you’re good to go.
how do you make a gradient text for a tumblr post?
1. Become aware of how and when you tearing yourself down.
2. Now that you can catch yourself doing it. Offer counters to the negative self talk. A really useful thing I read was to talk to yourself almost the way you would child. Gentle and patient. Even when they fuck up.
3. Take time to celebrate your small accomplishments. You’ve been attacking yourself for every little mistake. Apply that same fervor to the positive things in your life. Did the dishes even though you didn’t want to? Fuck yeah! Got up and took shower? YES!!! You are taking positive steps to feeling better. Celebrate it.
4. Make lists of things you’re good at/ like about yourself. The first time I did this the only two things in my list we’re that I liked my hair and I had good friends. It was start.
5. Don’t beat yourself up if you screw up steps 1-4. It’s counter productive. When I catch myself calling my self stupid for some mistake or other my response now is,“We don’t talk to ourselves like that anymore. What’s something constructive that could actually help solve the problem.”
Most of the time that seems to work. Not always. But more and more Everytime.
