I Thought He Was Gonna Bump Into The Giant Ladies Head

Word Counter - Not only does it count the number of words you’ve written, it tells you which words are used most often and how many times they appear.

Tip Of My Tongue - Have you ever had a word on the tip of your tongue, but you just can’t figure out what it is? This site searches words by letters, length, definition, and more to alleviate that.

Readability Score - This calculates a multitude of text statistics, including character, syllable, word, and sentence count, characters and syllables per word, words per sentence, and average grade level.

Writer’s Block (Desktop Application) - This free application for your computer will block out everything on your computer until you meet a certain word count or spend a certain amount of time writing.

Cliche Finder - It does what the name says.

Write Rhymes - It’ll find rhymes for words as you write.

Verbix - This site conjugates verbs, because English is a weird language.

Graviax - This grammar checker is much more comprehensive than Microsoft Word, again, because English is a weird language.

Sorry for how short this is! I wanted to only include things I genuinely find useful.

Mr. Schmidt: I recall a time when my garage was broken into, Mr. Speaker. They stole my truck, and more importantly, more expensively, they stole the accordion that I was storing in that truck. Determining the value of a truck is rather straightforward. There’s a well-established process for assessing what the value is. Now, I could tell you that the value of that truck that was stolen was probably about $60 because it had a full tank of gas, but determining the value of that accordion was not a simple matter, because there isn’t a well-established process for determining the replacement value of an accordion. The insurance company wanted me to get a certified accordion assessor to evaluate the value of this accordion. Let me tell you that no such thing exists, at least not in Canada. I couldn’t find one. I had to go back and forth for months with this insurance company to determine a fair value of the accordion. It took way too long to settle that process, and we didn’t come to a resolution that was agreeable to me. I’m sure it was agreeable to the insurance company because they sure didn’t have to pay out the amount of money that I felt that I was entitled to.

…

The Speaker: Perhaps I might recommend to the hon. member that he reach out to former member Richard Starke for some advice on the price of accordions. I know he was very passionate about that.

Since Sunday tours of James Talbot’s home, Casa Neverlandia in Austin, Texas, are currently not available b/c of the Pandemic, we can take a virtual tour. 

James is an artist who built this home, himself. I’ve heard. It’s still a work in progress. This is the living room looking toward the front of the home.

Simply, the Red Room.

James taking tourists through. The house is also on the Weird Homes Tour in Texas, but you can’t just show up, b/c it’s his private residence. 

Kitchen & breakfast nook. He uses a gray water system and people are surprised when they hear that it has no air conditioning. 

The Record Room.

The Photo Editing Room.

2nd story area.

The Master Bedroom.

The bathroom has a toilet, but James has been using a compost toilet in the back for years. This is a picture of it in progress.

3rd story area.

Sewing room.

Tile making studio.

Bead making studio.

General construction shop.

The Moon Tower in the backyard.

UKRAINIAN NOUNS DECLENSION I made some declension sheets for myself but maybe someone else would like to use them too. I spent many hours on checking all mistakes (I hope there are none left), changing the whole structure 10000+ times and getting frustrated even more. If you find this helpful - like or reblog this post, it will be very kind of you. (Yes, it looks scary but believe me, I tried to make it as logical as possible. If declension in Slavic languages can ever be logical). I used this and this site. Download these sheets in pdf here.
