Mamá Coco has trouble remembering things… But it’s good to talk to her anyway.

[ladybarabee]

As someone who works with elderly clients who have multiple forms of dementia, or age related illnesses, I’d just like to point out that as a matter of fact: it IS good to talk to Mama Coco.

As its shown in the movie, Mama Coco has some form of non-Alzheimers dementia. Spending time with her, keeping her at home among loving relatives, and INVOLVING her in various parts of daily living is important for multiple reasons.

- talking to Coco and engaging her on a regular basis helps her to feel like she belongs, even if she can’t remember. This is an important part of our heiarchy of needs: love and belonging.

- It encourages Coco to feel at ease. This is incredibly important for those who live with with, and actually aids in easing the progress of the disease (depending on what it is she loves with).

- It helps to normalize the moments of clarity she undoubtedly has from time to time. When a loved one with dementia is removed from home or ignored during their confusion, it makes it hard for them to verbalize their clearer thoughts. They don’t understand why it is that they’re in the wrong place, causes anxiety and further confusion.

- It helps the family recognise when Mama Coco is deteriorating. Most of the time, when a family member is ignored, pushed aside, or sent away, only to be seen on special occasions like some kind of family china or something, the change in their afflicted family member is a jarring shock that drives the family further away. With a family that spends time and care with their loved ones, they’re more receptive to the stages and the process of the disease, and usually a lot more understanding of what’s happening.

It breaks my heart that we don’t see more of these kinds of multi-generational family movies where the elderly member is normalized, rather than being treated as “odd” or “lol funny forgetful”.

I’ve just discovered my new favorite painter, Vittorio Reggianini - those smarter than myself probably already know of him as an Italian painter from the 1800s who made satin look even satiny-er than satin. I just cannot get over how much he loved painting women who were NOT. HAVING. A. MAN’S. SHIT. 

But there was one hottie that everyone seemed to like, and I can’t blame them…

Vittorio knows what the ladies like.

Always be vague. Say I think they’re in today or not until later. If they press say it’s company policy not to give out the schedule. Most companies do have this and even if they don’t how would a stranger know. Don’t give out specifics, they can get people injured or even killed.

At my last job someone came up and asked when “Sarah” was working next. I didn’t tell him and then texted her a description, turns out he was an abusive ex who had been stalking her. Don’t do this shit please.

Well today I learned that in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Stan Lee’s cameo is credited as “The Watchers’ Informant”, the Watchers being a marvel race that’s the oldest creatures in the universe so they just watch all the life instead of interacting with it now, and what he’s telling them in the cameo is the story of his cameo in the first captain America movie, meaning that Stan Lee has been playing a singular character this whole time and he’s always near the action because it’s his job to observe it and report back

writer: this is one of my male characters! he cares about his guy friends and loves them deeply.

tumblr: oh! so he’s gay!

writer: uh…no, he’s attracted to women.

tumblr: ….so he’s bi!

writer: uhh…no…….he loves his guy friends but he’s not romantically/sexually attracted to them.

tumblr: ….so you’re homophobic.

Healthy male friendships are almost as rare in mainstream fiction as gay male relationships, and maybe more rare in fanfiction. Let men be wonderful friends without pushing a romantic relationship, just like men and women should be able to be wonderful friends without the pressure of a romantic relationship.

This is literally the reason men are so terrified of being open about loving each other platonically, because they don’t want people to assume they’re gay just because they can be supportive of their fucking friends

#[40S COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCER VOICE] WHAT’S BETTER THAN THIS? GALS BEING PALS

[edteachs-adhd-spiral]

Fun fact: Though being gay in the 40s sucked, being gay in the military was easier, and pretty common. There were apparently, at one point in time time so many lesbians in the military that when they tried to crack down on it, the girls wrote back and said “Look I can give you the names, but you’ll lose some of your best officers, and half your nurses and secretaries.” And they pretty much shut up about it unless you were especially bad at subtlety. (Source: Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers. A good source for gay history from 1900s onwards.)

[spart117mc-blog]

Sergeant Phelps worked for General Eisenhower. Four decades after Eisenhower had defeated the Axis powers, Phelps recalled an extraordinary event. One day the general told her, “I’m giving you an order to ferret those lesbians out.’ We’re going to get rid of them.”

“I looked at him and then I looked at his secretary. who was standing next to me, and I said, ‘Well, sir, if the general pleases, sir, I’ll be happy to do this investigation for you. But you have to know that the first name on the list will be mine.’

“And he kind of was taken aback a bit. And then this woman standing next to me said, ‘Sir, if the general pleases, you must be aware that Sergeant Phelps’s name may be second, but mine will be first.’

“Then I looked at him, and I said, ‘Sir, you’re right. They’re lesbians in the WAC battalion. And if the general is prepared to replace all the file clerks, all the section commanders, all of the drivers—every woman in the WAC detachment—and there were about nine hundred and eighty something of us—then I’ll be happy to make the list. But I think the general should be aware that among those women are the most highly decorated women in the war. There have been no cases of illegal pregnancies. There have been no cases of AWOL. There have been no cases of misconduct. And as a matter of fact, every six months since we’ve been here, sir, the general has awarded us a commendation for meritorious service.’

“And he said, ‘Forget the order.’

So, when someone sits down to write a fiction about Women commandos, and a Dudebro steps in to say “Huh, that is so unrealistic huh.” 

Harold… oh, Harold…sit down, shut up, and stay out of our way.

infuriating how men created, benefit from, and reinforce the diet culture that teaches women our worth is measured by our weight and yet men will also act like women’s sensitivity over our weight is just some weird chick thing they couldn’t possibly understand or extend empathy over

If you traveled back in time to the 1920s, it’d be weird to see everything in color.

[silverhawk]

silent lunches were so….weird. like the entire cafeteria was expected to be quiet and it usually was a punishment for something super dumb tbh like i remember a bunch of kids popped plastic bags one day so we got silent lunch for a week and everyone was just….sitting there all quiet. it was duuuumb

[silverhawk]

the only funny part tho was sitting around ur friends and all of u trying VERY VERY HARD not to laugh when someone makes a face or something like that, or trying to sneak into the bathroom so u can talk…even then tho fuck silent lunches

[silverhawk]

ppl keep going “what the FUCK is a silent lunch why would schools have that” and im like. genuinely so forgetful abt the fact that silent lunches are one of those american public school things that literally dont make any sense

If dudes sent dog pics instead of dick picks on dating websites, they would get a lot more dates.
