On Mother’s Day, Coffee Shop Ignores Restrictions

Despite #socialdistancing guidelines currently in place, honoring Mom took center stage on Mother’s Day at the C&C Coffee shop in Castle Rock, Colorado.

Nick Puckett (@Nick_Puckett) tweeted a video showing the cafe full of patrons ignoring the 6 feet rule, not wearing masks and definitely touching their faces.

What a comfortable, familiar scene. In stark contrast to the messages from…

Signs that You’re Being Manipulated

1. They twist your words and use them against you.

2. They’re mean – but then they say that you misunderstood them.

3. They make you feel guilty for saying, no.

4. They act cold towards you if you don’t do what they want.

5. You never feel as if you meet their expectations.

6. You feel as if you’re walking on eggshells all the time.

7. You feel very confused by the relationship.

8. You constantly feel anxious about the relationship.

9. It causes you to question your own sanity.

Manipulation is what makes gaslighting work so well. Most people don’t realize what’s happening to them because they feel out of balance. And then there’s number nine on the list. The only way to break the cycle of  a relationship like this, is to see that you didn’t fall in love with their mean side. If they showed you that side first, you would have said, “No, you are not my type. I want to be happy, safe and to feel welcomed.”

DREAMers, don’t stop dreaming

You’ve probably heard by now that President Trump and his Attorney General Jeff Sessions have decided to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Originally created by President Obama, the program provided hope and protection to nearly a million children of undocumented immigrants, many of whom have growing up knowing no other nation besides the United States of America.

In their hearts, in their lives, DREAMers are Americans. And they are human beings. The cruelty of deporting them to an unfamiliar land is matched only by the recklessness of doing so. Immigration is vital to our identity, our economy, and our culture. To extinguish the dreams of DREAMers is not only unkind, but fundamentally un-American.

So, Tumblr, here are some ways you can help each other out:

Call Congress and tell them to pass the DREAM Act. There’s a six-month delay before Trump’s order kicks in, and that’s six months for Congress to get their act together on this. Light a fire under them, will you?

Join an event near you, and connect with others IRL who are fighting for what’s right.

Don’t forget to take care of yourself, especially if you’re one of the people directly affected by this. You can’t just fight—you also have to heal.

Tell your story. Tag it #DREAMer. Let people know what you’ve experienced, and let other DREAMers know they’re not alone.

And if you could use some perspective on what it’s like for a DREAMer right now, please read this Answer Time session with an undocumented immigrant who took your questions on her situation, her hopes, and her fears. It’ll open your eyes, it’ll open your heart. It’s what the world needs right now.

Stay strong, Tumblr.

Heartless. Blaming the children for the parent’s decision to take a risk...that worked up until today.

She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn’t beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul. She is beautiful.

F. Scott Fitzgerald (via quotethat)

That kind of beautiful lasts forever.

Are you your own worst enemy?

Once you understand the motivation behind what people say to you, you can decide to:

keep your guard up,

stand in neutral

or take your guard down.

Obviously, if someone is doing or saying something that makes your guard go up, you have to determine the position the person has taken against you.

How would you describe the attack?

Once you define it, you can choose to respond, stand strong and quiet, or choose to ignore it.

Stay calm and neutral in your own mind.

Don’t fall into a trap because you over-reacted.
