Hey Tumblr Peeps! 

I am doing some research for my writing about things people are to afraid to say out loud. Its 100% completely anonymous which means I won’t be able to see who wrote what. I would appreciate it greatly if you could fill it out and share it. It quite possibly could turn into a bigger project as well. I have many ideas that needs some help to be guided along. I will love you all forever and send you all flowers and cookies if you do it!! 

Thanks!!

Everyone should start watching the new webseries, Inhuman Condition.

The first six episodes are already up. With posting days being MWF. 

It’s about a therapist named Michelle Kessler. And she councils the supernatural.

Let me tell you how amazing it is.

1. Lots of female characters. Three out of the four main character’s are women. Who don’t sit and talk about boys the whole time. In fact in the first 6 episodes there was one conversation about romance between 2 female characters. And it wasn’t the focus of the whole thing. 

2. Lead minority. Who is seen as hard but also seems to have real emotions about things.

3. Characters dealing with depression, anxiety, anger. And not just ‘oh they have depression but they’re still living their life’. I mean 3 of the mains are in therapy. So they actually talk about their feelings, and why they feel that way. And it’s just so good. 

4. *Spoiler* They used the word bisexual. As an actually really thing. Not as a throw away insult, or a mocking joke. One of the leads is a bisexual and identifies as one. And she’s not seen as lesser for it or fake. She’s a strong lead female. And honestly it’s refreshing.

5. It is wonderfully written. Like I mean I have seen several webseries, and all of them have been good, but damn this one is leagues a head of it. It’s beautiful and strange and such a different thing then I’m used to. But I can’t get enough of it. The episodes are way too short for my liking, but not in the way that makes them feel like their lacking anything. I just want to be in this world for longer. So much longer.

Seriously guys please check it out. You will not regret it. At all. And if you do. PLEASE COME TALK TO ME ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!

Message to all parents:

- Not taking your child’s injuries seriously when they’re younger, may make them feel like they can’t tell you anything when they’re older. - PLEASE let your kid take personal days once in awhile once they reach highschool. - Grades are NOT everything. You can get plenty of well paying jobs now without having to go to college. - Really strict parenting leads to sneaky kids. Trust me. - Let them be who they want. They can’t change who they are, whether it is sexual orientation, gender identity or anything else. They need someone to support them. - ^ Never say “you’re too young to know” - ¼ teenagers deal with a mental illness of some sort (in the U.S). Please make sure they’re okay. - You can’t MAKE them chose an educational field. - Even an A+ student who’s a star athlete can be suicidal. - MENTAL HEALTH COMES FIRST - Self harm is more common than you think amongst teenagers. It’s also not always cutting (or on wrists). Be aware. - Sex ed. doesn’t teach them anything. - Tattoos and piercing aren’t “unprofessional” anymore - If they have depression, please DO NOT call them lazy. It’s almost the worst insult you could say. - If their grades are dropping for no reason, ask about it. Don’t assume things. - Most teenagers don’t have high self esteem. Don’t make it worse. - School is much harder now than it ever has been before. - Not everyone on the internet is a predator - It’s normal to have internet friends now - Take them seriously

[versoburns]

Also

- Don’t take their phones/computers away from them, as that is severing a link to what could be the only people that understand and care about them - Don’t get mad at them for always being on their phone/computer. They have friends online and it’s absolute hell to get yelled at by parents for talking to your friends

[pixelsmash5-deactivated20150913]

-Don’t force them to be more outgoing, especially if they show signs of not enjoying large groups of people -Don’t say, “You don’t know who you’re talking to,” about their internet friends -Don’t yell at them ever, especially if they have a fear of loud noises -If they tell you that they’re hallucinating, don’t say, “That’s just your imagination running off with you.” -Also, don’t say that they’re making up something that is legitimately hurting them -Don’t force them to do anything that they aren’t interested in -Don’t say that you’ll get help for them without actually getting any

[wellheyproductions]

If your son what’s to get his toenails painted, like mommy… LET HIM.

If your daughter wants to try out for football, LET HER.

If you son wants a doll so he can play take care f the baby, like daddy’s taking care of the real baby, BUY HIM ONE!

If your daughter wants a tool set for Christmas, BUY HER ONE!

[sigmatique-deactivated20170313]

Also Never tell your son he can’t cry because “boys don’t cry” If your daughter does something she really loves and you don’t, never tell her it’s not “lady like” Harming your kinds never solves things, if anything it makes them hate you, and I’m not talking only about slapping

[nerdgasrnz]

#and pls dont try to live through your kids

[escabye-deactivated20190922]

Also, don’t assume everyone of your kids opposite gender is their boyfriend/girlfriend and make fun of them about it because they will feel insecure about when they actually find someone they like or if they aren’t straight, it might just be worse.

[runningdan-deactivated20170223]

also don’t expect your kids to respect you if you don’t respect them

[thesweetfandomlife]

Don’t

This is seriously one of the cutest things. So smart

[imaginarycircus]

Okay. But the one who waits for their friend. The ones who know their name is next and move a little bit getting ready to exit because they obviously have learned to do this in order. The two who have to get called together because they can’t be separated. And the last one who sits with their back to the lady. Has to be called twice and then is like IT ME!

[caringcoffeechats]

You’re not fake simply because you act differently depending on the person you’re with. Different personalities bring out different aspects of your personality. You’re complex and multidimensional; it’s beautiful.

The lives cut short in America’s deadliest shooting

They ranged from teenaged to middle-aged; they were black, white, brown. Some were students, others were business owners. The list of victims is long, longer than any other in the country’s modern history – but they were more than just members of a tragic crowd.
