Look at who have just arrived! 😍

During my first month with my therapist, I was given this worksheet to read and work on. She noticed that while I was talking with her, that my thoughts followed a lot of these. I wasn’t aware that my anxiety had brought me down paths of low self-worth and stinky thinking. After a couple of weeks of talking with her, she gave me this worksheet to work on.

While, at first, I thought these weren’t going to work out, I was very surprised to see just how easy they were to use . My homework at that time was to identify which sort of thinking I used on the regular and which ones would best challenge them for me. So, what do you think? Do any of the maladaptive thinking patterns sound like you? which ways would you like to untwist your thinking?

useless ancient roman law facts

if you call someone to witness and they refused to show up, you are legally entitled to stand outside their house and scream, but only every third day

you can sell your son into slavery once or twice, but after the third time he doesn’t have to put up with that shit anymore

no wailing allowed at funerals

also you can only have ONE funeral per person, don’t get greedy

if your neighbor’s tree has a branch hanging into your yard, you can legally cut down the entire fucking tree

however, if some of your neighbor’s fruit from his dumb tree falls into your yard, he can legally come into your yard to snoop around get it

if you call someone to witness and they’re too sick or old to get to court themselves, you have to provide a cart for them to come in, but it doesn’t have to be, like, a nice cart if you don’t want it to

#…if these are actually true im gonna scream (via @dragonchantant)

they are indeed real! they’re from the twelve tables, a roman law text so old that it’s hard for even people who are well-versed in latin to read by the text is archaic (also half of it is missing but whatever)

while we’re on the subject, here are some more good ones that i forgot to put in:

the penalty for writing a song slandering someone (it’s very specific on the song bit) is getting clubbed to death

if you hurt someone (or if you just sort of inconvenience them) through magic arts, the penalty for that is also death

however if you maim someone’s limb through normal limb-maiming processes you just sort of have to figure things out between yourselves

if there’s a road right next to your property, feel free to build a fence around it to prevent people from driving into it, but if you don’t build your own fence then tough shit

if you waste all your money you can legally be prevented from wasting even more of your money

if you’re a woman and you live with a man for a year, that technically makes you married, unless you spend three successive nights at somewhere other than his house, in which case you’re not married i guess

i guess.

You forgot one, also in the Twelve Tables:

- when you sign a contract, it’s something so important that you need witnesses. So you bring a couple of kids along with you, do the transaction and pull their ear so that they won’t forget it either, and can be called in front of a court to testify. That’s called the antestatio.

This was considered so efficient that this tradition was carried over into subsequent medieval legal systems in Europe well after the fall the Roman empire.

AND… I don’t remember if I should thank my awful, terrible, and terrifying History of Law professor, or my useless, boring, unintelligible Roman Law professor for that GREAT AND USEFUL tidbit of information that pops up now and then in my head, 20 years later.

These Musen Arrows 6mm have just arrived 😊

Spent the last two days working on this little archery guide in art and writing. Considering the rise in popularity of archers in pop culture this hopefully comes in handy for a bunch of fandoms.

A Great Comeback

pre-party

For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others
