I don’t know why, but I think some Americans don’t realise how big the UK is….

American Customer: you’re English right? Do you know the bookshop between Wales and Bristol that has lots of books in?

Me in my head: yeah mate, I know that one. Classic. Love to pop down there on a cheeky break between work. What a wanker…

i think my saddest moment as an Australian was finding out that the rest of the world doesn’t say “never eat soggy weetbix” to figure out the order of the compass

Put in the tags where you’re from and how you memorized the order of the compass

i’m a visual learner, i just picture the map.

mine was close, it was “never eat soggy worms”

a protip for life!

mine was a long and embarrassing singalong that involved butt slaps

bunjy, please. we have to know the rest

also mine was “never eat shredded wheat”

alright well when bitty bunjy was back in grade school, the teacher taught us a fun little song and dance routine to remember the cardinal directions and we all loathed it. it definitely involved some enthusiastic butt-slapping and I will likely remember it until I die.

here it is, in its entirety:

(must be sung somberly, to the tune of ‘the ants go marching one by one’)

The sun is rising in the East, the East, the East

(slowly lift right arm in an arc until it’s pointing straight up)

The sun is rising in the East, the East, the East!

My Nose is North, (tap your nose)

My Seat is South (GIVE YOURSELF A BIG OL HONKIN BUTT SLAP)

And now I turn myself about, (do a slow spin)

The sun is rising in the East, the East, the East

But where is West?

it wasn’t in the song and when we asked the teacher why he pretended like he didn’t hear us

I wish we could quit the self blaming language around mental illness. I’m constantly seeing “positivity” posts saying “don’t let your mental illness stop you”, “don’t let your mental illness consume you”, “don’t let your mental illness limit you”, etc, and I hate it because it places blame on the mentally ill person for being affected by their mental illness. Truth is, if your mental illness is currently stopping you, consuming you and limiting you that’s not on you. You’re doing your best and that’s okay no matter what your best currently looks like. You’re not a failure if your mental illness is affecting your life/ability to function – that’s actually one of the requirements for being diagnosed with a mental illness. It’s not your fault. It’s not on you. I promise.
