3 different uncles at a BBQ

[daglout]

Cool uncle who smells like weed and lives in the woods but the woods are just outside town and he works out at planet fitness

Uncle who you always looked up to until you find out he’s in a cult and is also homophobic but says hes okay with the lifestyle

Moms brother

The type of the mother I’m trying to be. Not just encourage bodily autonomy, but reward displays of it, even when it might make someone else in the room uncomfortable.

[swedepea]

I’ve made so many people uncomfortable in supporting my daughter’s personal space. People will try to hug her, she’ll sometimes say “No, thank you” and the adult will look at me to make her do it, but I just say “It’s ok honey, you don’t have to hug anyone you don’t want to.” It makes people irrationally huffy, making me feel even more justified in supporting my daughter’s choices. Creeps.

[misharoux]

I legit had to mom-voice some random woman with a “she said no!” when she tried to force a hug on Madison. (who was not very good at verbalizing to people she didn’t know/trust at the time)

She replied, “I just want a hug, it won’t hurt her.”

Me: She. Said. No.  

There aren’t many things more important than letting my daughter know that I have her back when it comes to something like this. 

[ineeduhnap]

I work with five year olds and I had a very long talk with them about permission and that your body belongs to yourself and no one else. “Even if you want to hug your friend, you need to stop and ask if it’s okay and if they don’t want you to touch them, you should respect that choice and not do it.” they were like “cool” and then every time after that they had no problem asking their friends “can I give you a hug?” Or “can I hold your hand?” Very politely. If their friend said no, they shrugged and went on with their life. They even started asking me if they could hug me or if it was okay to hold my hand when they were sad. And I always ask when they need comfort “do you need or want a hug?” If they say no, I ask “okay, let me know what we can do as a class to help you feel better. Quiet time? Do you want a stuffed animal? Sit on the couch? Do you need some time alone?” They verbalize what they need and they become aware of their own autonomy and their ability and power to say “no.” Just because someone is an adult does NOT give them the right to hug a child who has said “no” or “no thanks.” Teach then that they own their own body, and no one else is in charge of it. Teach them the power of NO.

She replied, “I just want a hug, it won’t hurt her.”

Sure, it’ll just teach her that her consent is to be ignored. No harm in that… Surely.

Mated turtles share their shells!

Not always but often when a pair of turtles mates, the male will leave his own shell and move in with the female. After doing so the couple will coordinate their arm and leg movements to walk and even swim.

[gay-for-toasters]

I call this “Trying to get notes with false facts.”

[facts-i-just-made-up]

I assure you, Facts-I-Just-Made-Up would never post false facts just to get notes. I also do it to confuse, misinform, and hurt people.

I’m glad that tumblr is moving onto it’s labor rights phrase but if you’re going to strike you need

clear and concrete demands (i.e. $15 an hour minimum wage, paid sick time, the ability to recieve your schedule a month in advance, etc)

unity. one person skipping work is not gonna make a difference. you’ll just be fired. an entire workplace striking will yield results

mutual aid. if y'all striking y'all not gonna get paid and people have bills and children. you need to raise money for a strike, find a sympathetic rich person or unionize and pay dues

this is not an overnight process. it can take months or years and if you live in major metropolitan area there’s probably already a committee of some sort (DM if you live in New Orleans and want to join one) if not you can form one or join the iww. you can’t just tell people to not show up for work with no plan. because most people aren’t gonna do that.

[la-laborista-republiko]

Unionize 👏and 👏pay 👏 dues 👏

It’s doubtful you’ll find a sympathetic rich person, and even if you do you’ll be striking a very Faustian bargain

[tinderfinds]

This is the funniest thing to ever happen to me.

sorry but if your bed isn’t against at least one wall you’re not valid

[heartsdesire456]

I used to think this post was stupid because most people like both sides of the bed free but then I realized some psychopaths put their bed like this so not even the headboard is against a wall and this post is about these animals.

[ranger-truth]

A single person’s bed is generally against 2 walls, a couple’s bed is generally against 1 wall, and people with 0 walls have no fear of the dark/unseen with direct access to their head, and therefore cannot be human.

[unnonexistence]

ok the bed just out in the middle of the room is bad but have you considered: only the footboard end against a wall

[crumplelush]

no i hadn’t. why would you put that image into my head?

It’s some guy ( a white guy ofc) who casts aluminum “statues” or whatever out of ant colonies. Only he uses live ant colonies for the molds.

[marxistbarbie-deactivated202109]

pouring molten liquid onto living animals is….. extremely demented 

[rootkit]

It’s a fire ant colony? Fire ants are invasive pests that cause blistering painful bites and I don’t see how it’s any worse than zapping them or otherwise killing them

[rootkit]

I even went to his channel and most of the colonies he casts are fire ants. I looked at one of the videos for a non fire ant colony and this was in the description

Like honestly

[assbaka]

imagine being mad about this when theres literally no other way to learn about the structure of ant colonies and also they’re ants 

[scarlet-rosepetals]

Listen, I value every creature’s life, but invasives Actually Need To Be Killed for the health of the invaded environment. Honestly, this seems like a much more humane way to do it than by poisoning them or something.

[livelyspaghetti-blog]

When I tell people to delete anon hate, to not publish it, it’s not me saying “ignore it and it’ll stop; don’t fight back.” It is 100% petty and spiteful. Honestly, I can’t think of anything better than the person who sent the hate obsessively checking your blog and refreshing and refreshing, waiting for you to reply, and getting increasingly frustrated when the ask they so masterfully crafted never pops up & you just keep posting cute pictures of your pets and talking about how nice your day was.

This is the part that the wealthy hate about most people being satisfied with what they have.  If we strive for more then they can threaten us with it, but if we don’t care they have nothing to steal nor to threaten.
