Reblog If You’d Be Okay If Your Friend Came Out As Transgender

I think we should put all spiders in a place that isn't my house. That would be pretty neat, in my opinion.

Role reversal

Do I try to kill someone and then things flip? I am intrigued...

First thing you see after you zoom in is how you die

How you dying 👀

Hey, if you have half a minute and care about the LGTBQIA+ community in the EU, I'd suggest you take a look at this initiative to ban conversion therapies in the EU.

1 million people are required to sign, but there's barely 100k. The form takes less than a minute, it only requires your ID, name and surname.

Please, help spread the initiative so that it can reach the goal ASAP!

PROOF IN CASE YOU NEED IT

Was at christmas dinner and my aunt is talking about some French celebrity I don't know about because I don't live here and just says "I was fine with her until she turned out muslim" and i genuinely was unable to speak for several minutes because it came completely out of nowhere. Just silently sat like

and my whole family just kept talking like nothing happened wtf.

It's kinda been a brute force process for me. I still don't get every rhythm or pitch right, and I've been playing the piano for at least 14 years (unless you count what I did at 2 years old with no lessons as "playing piano", in which case 16). I also play guitar, but the process is similar.

As you do more playing, you'll find your brain automatically places notes correctly (I no longer have to think almost at all about notes within one ledger line of the main stave for either clef) which will help with playing rhythm, which should also be getting better with playing. You can also train rhythm specifically with exercises. This can be as simple as ignoring the pitch of a note and just playing/clapping rhythms, or you can use exercises you find online.

I did grades, and the progression of these can be very helpful. Not only does the gradual increase in the difficulty of pieces give a nice guided progression, but the exam board I use now, Trinity, has exercises at the back of each book, of which you must learn some (i think one from each category), and one category is rhythm. For my grade six, for example, one of them was all about 3:2 (three against two) polyrhythms, look them up to figure them out, or you can ask and I'll try to explain.

Overall, keep trying to have fun. Play things you enjoy, play things you think are weird or might be a good challenge, improvise, whatever. Just play stuff, it'll get easier.

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU READ MUSIC NOTES??? HOW????

"Doesn't the passage of time scare you? The fact that we are relentlessly pushed along a path to our deaths? The fact that you were forced into this, and your only way to stop it is to end up in the same place it was taking you anyway?"

Maybe, but if time didn't pass my quiche would never be cooked, so that motherfucker better keep going.

At a party and a guy was telling me about how one of his coworkers was complaining about how he thought his dealer was lacing his heroin with cocaine and then the party guy was like “but his dealer was his brother” and I said “that’s some cocaine and abel shit” and the joke flopped so hard but I stand by it so I had to share it somewhere
