the people who made the 5 love languages test made another about your apology language
Mine is MAKE RESTITUTION which is so dramatic but it’s more accurate that mine is all of them combined with this gesture being the most important
Mine is make restitution and honestly yeah you have to pay when you make mistakes whether that be with contrition swallowing pride or money and eventually changed Behavior which ties into accepting responsibility which was number 2
“For a mate who speaks this apology language, if an apology does not admit fault, it is not worth hearing.“
6 Accept Responsibility
6 Make Restitution
5 Expressing Regret
3 Genuinely Repent
0 Request Forgiveness
Sounds about right.
(Where “expressing regret” goes along with “accepting responsibility”, at least. Acknowledging not only that they did you wrong, but that it matters.)
I don’t have much use for a lot of people’s ideas about forgiveness, anyway. But, there are very few ways of making me madder than to basically just expect people to let something go, without acknowledging the impact or that you even understand what was wrong there or why it was harmful.
Tie between Accept Responsibility (7) and Make Restitution (7), then Express Regret (3)/Genuinely Repent (2)/Request Forgiveness (1). Looks like the authors are fairly Christian, by the way some of the results are written, too.
Also I gotta say, while the Accept Responsbility / Make Restitution makes sense… it really doesn’t capture how opposite-of-effective the Regret/Repentence options are for me lmao. Like, a lot of the “genuinely repent” options had me hissing in disgust and going “oh HELL no you can fuck RIGHT OFF, promises are bullshit and I sure as hell don’t wanna put the energy into ~helping~ you, not unless I offer it to begin with”. And my reaction to a lot of the “Regret” ones was like… irritation and feeling guilt-tripped. Like, yeah, okay, I don’t care how you feel about it 80% of the time, unless it was a scenario where it would honestly just like… roll off my back like no big, glad you have a functioning conscience i guess, lol.
My friend Riki set up this fundraiser for my mum, Dawn, and I. I’m Paige. I have an unfair number of illnesses: fibromyalgia, severe ME/CFS, bipolar disorder, endometriosis, autism, and possible mitochondrial disease. I know, wow. ME/CFS and fibro leave me mostly couch-bound, and I use a cane and wheelchair. I’m in constant pain. I am in the long, stressful disability application process. I lost my last 10/hour a week job because I was too fatigued and in pain to do my job well, and I failed at selling jewelry on Etsy. I cannot work. I was recently in hospital for my bipolar disorder, and am trying to stabilise my mental health as well.
My mother is on SSDI due to severe osteoarthritis and losing four fingers on her left hand, both of which make nursing impossible. She supports us both on $1200 a month, which is simply not enough. I get food stamps and Medicaid, she has neither. We are behind on heating, electrical, and medical bills. Charities only have given food, some of which I can’t eat due to Celiac disease and autism problems. Dawn’s church have declined helping us further with bills. We only get by with donations.
Whether it’s $1, $5, or $100; old clothes or extra toiletries, we are grateful for any donation. Please, if you can donate or not, reblog. It means so much to us. ❤
Please reblog! Help mum and daughter with clothes and coat.
Looking for clothes for my mum and I, and a coat for mum. Both of us are disabled; mum has fibromyalgia and arthritis, and I have ME/CFS, fibro, endometriosis, possibly mitochondrial disease, and bipolar disorder. I’m in the process of applying for disability and mum is supporting us both on her small SSDI pension. We are dirt poor. I just went from 98 pounds to 110+ (our scale is broken) and need clothes that fit. My mum has almost no clothes, and no winter coat. She wears this horrible olive drab coat with a hoodie, and she’s so embarrassed by it. It gets cold here in Detroit, and she should have a proper coat.
If you find you have things in these sizes, please let me know. We’d be so appreciative. You can also help us by donating to our fundraiser – https://goo.gl/dkoSTW, or PayPal: hansonp@uwindsor.ca – so we can get clothes at a resale shop or thrift store. Please share, and thanks for any help!❤
Mum: Size 16/18 or 1X in tops, the same in coats. Size 15 in junior’s jeans.
Me: Size medium or large in junior’s tops. Probably a small or medium in women’s. Size 1 or 2 in junior’s jeans. Like I said, I’m about 110-115 pounds and five foot six.
Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and my cupboards bare, I have some food but it will not last and I still do not know how I will cover all the utility bills.
I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.
Miigwech (thank you) everyone. Working hard to at least get caught up and still coming up short, every little bit helps.
Miigwech all, still trying to plan a big shopping trip, there’s better food choices and prices if I can get to Duluth, MN, this means 4hrs of travel and a need for gas money and most likely having to buy a meal for my driver. Though this seems like a lot for just food shopping it makes sense as local options, especially on the reservation, or the tourist trap of a town next to it, include far more expensive and less healthy options. Any help is greatly appreciated, hoping to get all stocked up before the first big snowfall.
“I never learned my Navajo language and I was never inspired to learn it. As I got older, I realized how valuable our language is to the livelihood of our Navajo Nation. ” -Dr. Shawna L. Begay
Our Navajo or Diné language is in danger of becoming extinct. Help us create and develop the first Navajo-English educational media TV puppet show, “Diné Bí Ná’álkid Time” which means ‘The Navajo Movie Time.’ It will inspire and teach our youth basic language skills using media as a technology tool. Parents, grandparents, children and grandkids can learn to speak Navajo fluently together within their own homes.
Long-time friends and educators, Dr. Shawna L. Begay and Charmaine Jackson have teamed up to create this new TV pilot for an all-ages audience or for anyone who wants to learn the Navajo language.
With your support, it’ll be the first educational Navajo and English puppet show that will teach and preserve the Navajo language and culture through digital media.
After several years of extensive research on the Navajo Nation, Dr. Begay recently completed her PhD from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas with her doctorate thesis, ‘Developing A Navajo Media Guide: A Community Perspective.’ As project director, she quickly realized she was a pioneer on the topic.
“When I decided what topic to study I realized there existed very little research in Indigenous educational media, especially with our Navajo people,” stated Dr. Begay. “As Navajo people, we have our own learning objectives and Navajo way of knowing is completely different for Euro-Western schooling. I decided that I had to research and develop our own curriculum guide that is meant to teach Navajo through media.”
Dr. Begay and Jackson, co-writers of the show, developed the first 3-puppet characters and plan for many more. The pilot features Nanabah-a young Navajo girl, Gáh (Rabbit) and Dlǫ̀ǫ̀ (Prairie Dog) who will go on endless adventures learning about language, gardening, the environment and the importance of family values. Nanabah is fluent in Navajo and likes to teach children about life on the reservation with her animal friends and special guests. Children who want to learn Navajo will also be an important part of the show by interacting with Nanabah, her friends and storyline.
Dr. Begay’s research concluded there exists very little research in the area of Indigenous educational media. Currently media is a very powerful tool that can be used to teach. She is cognizant of the digital age we live in and the opportunities to utilize media to revitalize the Navajo language.
“Star Wars and Finding Nemo,” dubbed in Navajo, was a great place to start and it has garnered national exposure of our language. However, we need a show based on our own Navajo learning principals our ancestors set out for us to learn and live by. I don’t think a non-Navajo, non-Native or non-Indigenous person can do that for us, nor should they. We, as Navajo, need to produce this show ourselves, if we are to be truly sovereign,” added Dr. Begay.
Both educators, Dr. Begay and Jackson, of Naalkid Productions have been talking about this educational language project for about the past four years and still have a long way to go to finance their dream.
“With the support of Navajo TV Anchor Colton Shone, our team of Navajo artists, filmmakers, family and friends, this video pilot is a huge step forward,” said Jackson. “Our journey has just begun and the big next step is finding financial support to create a whole new puppet TV series.”
We aim to raise $50,000 with this project which will allow us to continue with pre-production and production aspects of making this digital media project become a reality. We need your help to save our language by teaching Navajo to our future generations.
Pre-Production: -Script writing for the pilot show -Puppet Development/Creation -Casting for puppeteers and other talent that will be on screen -Hiring of all key cast and crew
Production: -Locations and permits -Rental of Studio space -Equipment: cameras, sound, lights, etc. -Cast and Crew budget
