I have a lot of pet peeves but I think the biggest one is when people say things like “oh it’s such a small town, only 35,000 people” like bitch my town has 200 people, you need to pick a new adjective
According to Wikipedia, a small town is 1,000-20,000 people. So although you are correct in stating that 35,000 people is not a small town (it is a large town), you are incorrect in thinking that you live in a town. You live in a village. You are a villager.
I…… don’t know what to do with that information……a villager…
tag yourself with your living place’s population and what youre classified as. im 278,508 city boy
Here are the hierarchical classifications from Wikipedia
Ecumenopolis – a theoretical construction in which the entire area of Earth that is taken up by human settlements,
or at least, that those are linked so that to create urban areas so big
that they can shape an urban continuum through thousands of kilometers
which cannot be considered as a megalopolis. As of the year 2009, the
United Nations estimated that for the first time more than 50% of the
world’s populations lived in cities, so if these were linked, the total
population of this area would be about 3,400,000,000 people as of 2010.
Megalopolis – a group of conurbations, consisting of more than ten million people each.
Conurbation – a group of large cities and their suburbs, consisting of three to ten million people.
Metropolis – a large city and its suburbs consisting of multiple cities and towns. The population is usually one to three million.
Large city – a city with a large population and many services. The population is <1 million people but over 300,000 people.
City –
a city would have abundant services, but not as many as a large city.
The population of a city is between 100,000 and 300,000 people.[citation needed]
Large town – a large town has a population of 20,000 to 100,000.
Town – a town has a population of 1,000 to 20,000.
Village
– a village is a human settlement or community that is larger than a
hamlet but smaller than a town. A village generally does not have many
services, most likely a church or only a small shop or post office. The
population of a village varies; the average population can range from
hundreds to thousands.
Hamlet – a hamlet has a tiny population (<100) and very few (if any) services, with only a few buildings.
Isolated dwelling – an isolated dwelling would only have 1 or 2 buildings or families. It would have negligible services, if any.
I….I guess I live in a conurbation. Chicagoland has a population of roughly nine and a half million, so a bunch of our suburbs must be full on cities.
I am conurban. A conurbanite. This is my conurb. Conurbs in Horto. My condo in the conurb.
I received a few well-meaning messages these past couple days in regards to all the work I’m doing. By work I mean lots of sewing and quilting.
Yes, it’s stressing my wrist. I have a special brace I wear overnight that’s just shy of being a cast. In the morning my wrist is happy and allows me to work all day.
I’m not actually working all day. I’m up at around 6am because the sun fills the bedroom by 7am and there’s no sleeping through that. Most especially because it gets too warm in there due to the bedroom being on the east side of the house. After breakfast and a shower I need to be doing something, I need to feel productive. Housecleaning takes less than a hour because I do it daily.
Being disabled means I can’t work a “real” job. I receive $720/month, all of which is eaten up within 24 hours by our bills. My husband is the only one who can work, but he’s not getting paid enough (who the fuck is?) so I do my best to make money. I create things and sell them. Or at least list them on Etsy and HOPE they sell.
I stop working under any of the following circumstances:
Not feeling “right”, which is usually what happens a few hours before a seizure.
Sunset has arrived. Yup, I stop working at sunset.
My sewing room is too warm. It’s on the west end of the house, we live in a desert, it gets REALLY hot in there from May-September. By 4pm I’m done. It’s why I start at about 9am.
I feel a burnout coming on.
My wrist is being a bitch.
Currently I’m grieving. Sitting idle just makes it so much harder for me to grieve. Creating things isn’t distracting, it’s cathartic. My grandfather LOVED quilts. My grandmother is a quilter, he 100% supported her, adored her work, and encouraged her. He was thrilled when he learned I’d taken up the family tradition. I create because it makes me happy, I know it made/makes him happy, and it helps me through this emotional mess I’m dealing with.
Not only am I grieving but am also poor, as you may have guessed. I create because it brings me joy and satisfaction, but also as a means of extra income. I’ve made $160.50 thus far this year. It’s not enough, so I make more and hope someone purchases the work. My financial situation isn’t helping with my grieving and has me extremely stressed. I need to stay occupied.
I appreciate your concerns. I ice my wrist when it swells or hurts too much, I take an NSAID (non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug) before going to bed so the swelling and pain diminish overnight, and I don’t rush my work. Thank you for your comments, but know that I’m well aware of what I’m doing as well as my limits.
Shuri shouting out the floor is lava and recording the confusion among the avengers wondering why tchalla king of Wakanda hopped up on a counter cause goddammit his little sister pulls this shit all the time and peter is stuck on the wall because he’s also a child of the internet and understands the meme life and now his fate is sealed there will never not be a time Shuri isn’t camera ready and yelling out the floor is lava to see the wackiest places she could get peter to stick on
T’Challa ignored her once so she developed synthetic deployable lava and the next time she yelled the floor is lava it actually was. T’Challa lives in fear now because he knows if he doesn’t pretend the floor is dangerous, it will be.
Once she got peter to stick onto T’Challa.
Everytime she does this, Thor is the first to find high ground. because Loki used to play the same game, and Loki was never one for ‘pretend’.
It is the Caucasian Shepherd Dog aka Russian Bear Dog. This picture below is just a PUPPY.
Holy shit.
I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE NOW
MOUSE
THE REAL LIFE CLIFFORD!
Level 1
Level 17
Level 35
I could literally ride this dog into battle.
and I would.
For anyone wondering, that last pic is another awesome breed called the Tibetan Mastiff 🙂
Fun fact: Tibetan Mastiffs were often “paired” with Tibetan Spaniels. The Tibetan Spaniel is a natural-born tattle tale and would run along monastery walls to keep an eye out for intruders. Upon spotting someone suspicious they would go get the big dog.
