Hey freaks and geeks

At the risk of sharing too much personal information on ye olde internet I am going to reach out for a little help

My kiddo was born with a heart condition that we knew would require life-long maintenance and multiple surgeries. Last week, however, the heat wave on the East Coast was brutal and actually sent him into a cardiac episode. Basically my six year old had a heart attack.

He’s been transferred to a hospital in DC, which is driving distance but still a hike from our home, which means my partner and I have had to arrange for child care for our other two kids and we haven’t seen them in about a week.

My dad started a fundraiser to help us out and we’re almost at our goal but if you could help in any way—donate, share, post to your fave discord, etc, that would be outstanding.

We’ve been through a stupid amount of medical challenges in the last few years and I am always afraid to ask for help bc it just feels like “oh you, again??” Idk

Fandom and fic and the communities around them are always such a lovely escape from this stuff, but of course some of it bleeds through when I can’t make deadlines or I accidentally ghost for too long, and I’m trying to integrate them a little bit better.

Anyways. Like I said, any assistance is appreciated. ❤️

"you were always such a good kid! we never had to worry about you :)" thanks! you actually should've, though. like about this specifically

i don’t feel like debating that topic much farther bc truthfully if it comes down to “women will lose to men in every sport bc they don’t have as much testosterone!!!!!” my elite feminist response is honest to god “ok we will lose with honor as equals instead of having our own special Easy Mode Female category so we can win amongst ourselves” like i’m sorry i just can’t be persuaded. i’m a brick wall. i want co-ed sports

[thesituation]

i bring a sort of “women can lose at some sports against men if it means being regarded as equals” vibe to the debate that “testosterone objectively increases performance” people don’t really like

Found my husband’s baby book. OBSESSED with an image of him, newborn baby, on what looks like a large white comforter, alone, with the caption New Guy In Town. Obsessed I tell you.

Everyone on reddit is being a doomer about this winter in Texas and once a week there's a prepper thread for when the grid fails again-- it's all very straightforward, no-nonsense stuff about generators, carbon monoxide poisoning, food preservation etc, except this one guide I was reading had a single aside: "Candles don't give off much heat but they do offer hope". It's such a funny thing to say in the middle of a straightforward 'tips and tricks for the end of the world' thread, but I can't stop thinking about it. It's hilarious to think of itemizing 'hope' for your bug-out bag but honestly? 'This doesn't give off heat but it does offer hope' is a useful framework. Let's not load up on candles, but make room for one or two in your fallout shelter. Man does not live on MREs alone.

okay i'm reading the semantics chapter of my language development textbook now and i know i've already posted a bit about the wacky methods researchers have employed to test infants' and toddlers' linguistic knowledge, but this is a really fucking great one.

so they were trying to figure out if children use syntactic knowledge to learn new vocabulary, specifically in this case they were researching two year olds. with verbs, some are done to a person ("x hit y") and some only have a doer ("x laughed"), and they wanted to see if these different sentence structures had an effect on how toddlers learn.

they got some grad students, put one in a rabbit costume and one in a duck costume. they had the rabbit repeatedly push the duck into a crouching position using their left hand. at the same time, both the rabbit and the duck were moving their right hands in a repetitive circling motion. they had a bunch of two years olds watch this. with half of the kids, they said "the rabbit is gorping the duck!" and with the other half, they said "the rabbit and duck are gorping!" afterwards, they showed two videos at the same time to the kids, one with the rabbit pushing the duck down but no circling motion, and one with both making the circling motion but no pushing. then they said "where's gorping now? find gorping!" and the kids who had heard the first statement would consistently look towards the video of the pushing motion, while the kids who heard the second statement would consistently look towards the video of the circling motion.

so it provided good evidence that kids do learn new words using their knowledge of sentence structure! my textbook says it's called the "syntactic bootstrapping hypothesis", which is also a fun term. anyway, i just think it's a fucking hilarious way to have tested this. imagine being a linguistics grad student and your advisor is like "hey i got this furry suit. i'm gonna need you to put this on for research purposes."

stevie overstimulating you 😖

steve had been going at it for hours, it felt like, strong thrusts turning into puppy ruts as he fucked into you. your pussy squelched and sucked him in, making it clearly difficult for him to stop. his low moans turned into whines as he fucked himself towards his third orgasm. your body started to ache everywhere under him, legs feeling like putty as they went limp around his waist. steve, on the other hand, showed off his undeniable strength as he hovered over you without so much of a wiggle. you mewled as he hit that sweet spot over and over again, nearly making you black out. he brought a hand down to your clit and furiously rubbed circles on your clit, sticky arousal making it easier for him to maneuver your pussy. you clenched around him with a plea, begging him to go easy, “steve fuck–i can’t ‘s too much.” the bed shakes as he moves you around like a rag doll, bringing you closer and swinging your leg over his shoulder, all without pulling out. faux sympathy spreads from his face to his tone as he pouts before cooing at you, “that’s too bad, cause i haven’t cum, and i know this pretty pussy isn’t done with me yet. you can take it, i know it, so be a big girl.” he leaves no room for complaints or talk back as he fucks you like nothing happened, like you weren’t a few thrusts away from blacking out. the time to dwell escaped you as he leaned down to kiss you, whispering how good you were for him between smooches. soothing you enough so you wouldn’t utter a word until you were making a mess on his dick.

Girls Scouts encounter Bigfoot the most frequently. Part of their oath is to keep him a secret because he’s very kind and makes up 30% of their revenue due to his fervent love for thin mints.

[hlahlahlahlahly]

As a Girl Scout leader, I am telling you that this is NOT true, and any former girl scout that says it is, should think about what they are saying and what oaths they may have sworn in the past
