In Super Mario World, if Yoshi eats a power-up at the precise time that the level’s timer reaches 0, Mario will begin his death animation, but then cancel it through the acquisition of the power-up, bringing him back to life. The level’s timer will remain at 0; meaning that there is no longer a time limit. A side effect of the glitch is that the level’s music stops playing, meaning that although Mario is now free to explore the level, it will happen in complete silence.

Just in case this needs to be said:

It’s the first draft. Use the word “suddenly.” Put as many dialogue tags and adverbs as you want. Say “he saw” “she remembered” “she felt” “they wondered” as many times as you need to. Put the em dash there, put in too many commas, use semi-colons with reckless abandon. Type in [whatever] instead of thinking up a title for something. Just write it. If you worry too much about the particulars, about all the advice posts you’ve seen saying whatever you’re doing is wrong or not good enough, you won’t get anything done. It will slow you down as you go back and try to reword what you just wrote to make it better, proper. The first draft doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be done. And when you get to the end, you’ll find that all those “mistakes” are just clues for your future self to put together to make it all better.

Putting in adverbs and certain dialogue tags are a note for you as to who is saying something and how they’re saying it. When you’re editing, you can make sure it shows through the story instead. The word “suddenly” is a reminder to make things more abrupt. The first draft is just you mapping out where you want to go and how you want to get there. Don’t waste time trying to get it 100% right now, because then it will never get done. Don’t think too much– just write. Save the thinking for editing later.

In class last week, I argued that addressing climate change at a systematic level was more efficient/significant than simply focusing on individual actions. A peer of mine challenged that I was only tackling the problem “from the waiste up” with this approach. She premised, “how can you change things systematically if you aren’t willing to change your indiviual behaviors?” I wish I could have showed her this Tweet in response, because it depicts why I still disagree with her.

Now, I’m curious what you all think

we’ve taught girls to romanticise nearly everything a boy does. when i was younger i thought it was cute that boys chased the girl even after she said no. i loved it when after a girl moved away from a kiss, the guy would pull her back and force it on. i thought a guy saying ‘i won’t take a no for an answer’ was passionate and romantic. we’re literally always teaching girls to romanticise abusive traits.

REAL FUCKING TALK

I can’t believe Jameela ended the kardashians

in case you guys don’t know, flat tummy or dieter’s tea, works through giving you the world’s most savage case of diarrhea which dehydrates you and you “lose” weight.

all of these girls who are advertising the tea results got there through basically shitting themselves

honestly, i highly doubt they even use the tea. they’re, like jameela said, using dietitians, personal trainers, and plastic surgery and just pretending the tea did it so they can make money.

laxative teas are extremely dangerous when used regularly for weight loss. they can literally kill you. the people advertising this shit to impressionable people–often kids–are human garbage.
