"Love is love" is a milquetoast cishet marketing phrase

Pride is a FUCK YOU to a society that wants us dead.

Went mad with power and made TWO cakes for my birthday, because I couldn’t decide on a flavor combo and also I have friends with dietary restrictions.

This one is gluten free chocolate orange cake with orange buttercream, filled with chocolate orange ganache and marmalade.

I bought candied orange slices and dipped them in chocolate to make phases of the moon, and the little sun is made of marzipan!

The vegan ‘buttercream’ actually ended up being my favorite both to pipe and flavor-wise.

i think a lot of people have forgotten they’re allowed to just not like something and instead they have to reverse engineer some reason why it’s morally correct and based for them to not like it. 90% of internet discourse could be avoided if people got better at recognizing when something totally morally neutral or even good just kind of gives them the ick

It's because they're not "tricks", they're practice. If you struggle with willpower or focus or delayed reward, you are not going to make progress improving those areas if you just indulge them all of the time.

Setting a reward for work isn't an instant fix, it's practice for setting goals and reaching them and rewarding yourself for that patience. The goal of pretending there are consequences like the mentioned gun isn't "start truly believing you are going to be shot", it's "practice feeling like there will be important consequences on tasks that you would usually not feel consequences for and put off". The closest one to a trick is the clock changing one, and even that is more a management strategy than anything else, because yeah, you know the clock is wrong, but you're being asked to act like it's right to manage punctuality.

I hate how this is framed like a gotcha to the therapist as if she's never met anyone else in her line of work that struggles with impulsivity or focus issues or whatever. If your therapist says "oh" to this kind of comment it's because she's just realized you have no idea what therapy is actually for (learning techniques that can help you manage the issues you struggle with) and have no desire to actually work on solving the problem.

Tldr yes, you COULD just give yourself the reward. Or you could actually try to work on that because you struggle with it and choose to not take the reward until you do the task even though you want the reward really badly. There's no miracle fix. You do kind of have to work at it if you want things to change.

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.

[ladyfoxfire]

And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.

If your spouse fights you on any of this, then don’t quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.

[dressedupliketheking]

also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can

So this one time I was in a hospital recovering from an emergency surgery on my leg, and had to be there long enough that they had to change my bedding, so, doped up on three kinds of pain meds and antibiotics my dad wheels me into the hallway while the nurses work.

"dad" I say, my eyes barely open "it's Colonel Sanders" while pointing down the hallway. He looks, and at the end of the hallway, there's a portrait of an old man, the donor who paid for the wing of the hospital I'm recovering in.

My dad explains as much to me, and goes "I mean the guy *kinda* looks like him, but why would Colonel Sanders pay for a hospital wing Mississauga Ontario? I think those drugs might me messing with you"

Then the nurse comes out of the room. I go "hey, who is that picture of?"

She looks at the portrait. She looks at me. She looks at my dad. She looks at the painting. She looks at me again.

"you don't recognize the Colonel??"

extremely funny when students get really into some harmless "vintage" activity to the point of absurdity. right now it's hacky sack, which is not something i ever thought i would see my students playing en masse. and yet here they are organizing competitive hacky sack teams. taking over any space they can to kick a hacky sack around. i had to chase a group to morning assembly today because they were busy playing hacky sack. just saw one of my students sending an email that said "stop adding randos to our team they're the worst sackers." 2026 year of the hacky sack ig
