Something to give you all hope, one of the providers I’m working with right now in the hospital has a kid who got sick. Out of an abundance of caution, he started wearing a mask. Started exhibiting symptoms yesterday, but he’s been wearing a mask the whole time just to make sure we’re all safe.

Turns out sometimes your hot friends ARE flirting with you

[thisisalljustashitshow-deactiva]

I have literally no situational sexy awareness. If you don't grab the back of neck and grab me by the balls while trying to suck the life out of me like a dementor...

My trauma tells me, "oh, they're just being pleasant, don't read into too much."

Want to do something to help stop the tradwife pipeline btw? Include mothers in your feminism. Hold space for women and others who are experiencing pregnancy or motherhood. Listen to their concerns about and unique perspectives on things like universal childcare, bodily autonomy, healthcare. Hold men who disrespect, sexualize, fetishize, shame or harass pregnant women and mothers accountable. Advocate for the right to nurse in public. Advocate for bodily autonomy within the healthcare field. Listen to women and birthing parents who have birth trauma. Listen to women who have undergone things like “the husband stitch”, or medically unnecessary c-sections, or who were given drugs without consent by doctors and nurses violating their birth plan. Advocate for resources to promote an end to the high rates of maternal mortality in the US. Get to know a woman who has children. Get to know the person she is. Know about her likes and interests and hobbies. Unlearn the stigma in your head which makes you see pregnant women as “ruined” or “tainted” and mothers as devoid of individual personhood.

[cam1lla]

As a leftist I will always advocate for the needs of mothers and their children. I refuse to let the right attempt to manipulate people by using the “we’re the only ones who care about mothers and children” talking point. I refuse to let my fellow leftists and progressives continue to enjoy complacency in their exclusion of these two marginalized groups.

[lemeute]

this also means welcoming children at your events and/or offering free childcare. childcare is expensive and many mothers (much moreso than many fathers) can't participate in our movements unless we participate in looking after their kids.

[apikale]

And for the love of all that is holy, STOP IT with the antinatalism! Too often I hear arguments along the lines of, "humanity needs to die out anyway." No, the human race is a beautiful thing, and those who freely choose to perpetuate it should be celebrated, not demonized. Our population is not spiraling out of control, that's a eugenicist myth.

When mothers see that the only people supporting their choice to have kids are right-wing pronatalists (who suck, don't get me wrong), what ideology do you think they're going to align with?

[naamahdarling]

Stop fucking saying you hate kids.

[writterings]

how i'm handling my students using AI to write papers:

-don't accuse them on using AI from the get-go and instead ask them to informally define all the huge words that they used in their essay which i know they don't know the meaning of

-ask to see their original file where they "wrote" the essay. go to version history to see if it was just copy and pasted and then just edited a bit. i keep an eye out for the shit like "certainly! here's an essay about...."

-if they own up to it, they can re-do the assignment for a higher grade even if there will be an automatic penalty. if they don't, i process it like plagiarism and get my supervisor involved.

[manicali]

And this is much better than the immediate accusations. Some students have a good vocabulary. Stop accusing them of faking their essays without proof, and this is a good way to check.

Fellow students please stop using AI, go back to promising not to kill the school nerd if they do all your homework or something.

ok i just got this thought out of nowhere but blog divers (people who scroll through a blog and reblog things that were posted YEARS AGO) are actually a super important part of the tumblr ecosystem

With people going inactive and deactivating, a lot of classic tumblr posts and also missed gems get lost because those connections get broken. Even on my own blog I forget about posts I made until I see someone in my activity reblog one of them- which then inspires me to reblog it myself because it was a good post and I want my new followers to see

do not feel bad about diving through someone's blog and reblogging shit from years ago, it keeps dashboards alive

(and if anyone has a problem with that, they can just block you or they can delete the root post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, two things that have absolutely no effect on the grand scheme of our lives)

reviews of the most common tags on this post:

Chainsawman: Yeah I guess if you go in thinking "this is a manga about a dude who wields a chainsaw" then you're going to be very seriously surprised. Like "ohhhh. he's a chainsaw man."

Portal: If I had to take points off this one its that the title is Portal in the singular, and lemme tell you brother. There's a lot more than one Portal in this game.

Ultrakill: I gotta be honest here. I don't know what you were expecting when you bought a first person shooter called "Ultrakill".

[lumsel]

I wanna now shout out that one person who mentioned Rain World, and because having now just played it, fuck dude. They weren't kidding. That World can Rain.

[desicosplay]

I will always be here. I will always love you. Feel your emotions like a fucking wave, my loves. Then come to shore - I am waiting with blankets, a warm fire, bared teeth and sharp nails. I will not lose hope. I will not lose love. That would be the truest defeat.

My hope lives in the people I love - in you.

Kindness is often mistaken for softness and let me tell you, friends….that is a mistake you don’t want to make. 

Kind people are not born that way, they do not stumble into it, kind people are forged in fire and darkness and imploding stars…they have steel cores. Throw a punch and you’re going to break your hand. 

[fairiencarnate-deactivated20260]

Kind people are kind because they know firsthand that life isn’t.

[jiemba]

I was just talking to someone about this. Kindness isn’t a natural-born trait, it’s a daily choice, so when you call someone kind you’re not praising their personality, you’re praising their effort. 

[scullyloves-science]

Thank you

[chaotic-carnifex]

Kind people are people who took your “well life ain’t fair” as a challenge and decided to make it fair

[ownworldresident]

❤❤❤

[inqorporeal]

The world is only hard and cold because people choose to make it so and try to normalise it. Kind people know this and fight it every day.
