i canât believe weâre all young professionals and academics and weâre still logging on to tumblr.com every single day to clown on ourselves. who let this happen

The Great Unanswered Question:
What the hell happens to every country on the planet that isnât the US in YA dystopias
#maybe all ya dystopian futures are just highly localised#and every other country is busy doing their thing#âdo you think the US will be attending the olympics this year?â#âI donât know; I think they still have that hell-portal openâ#âIâll put them down as a maybeâ (via archnemeton)
This aged surprisingly well
âI wanted a happy queer couple. I felt the audience needed to see, here are two people who, if not for this, probably wouldnât have found each other. They have what they have because they have this gift. They meet killing each other, and only within that discovery that they canât do it are they able to put down all this bullshit about religious hatred, about these cultural mandates, and look at each other and be like, âYou know what? You are magical to me. My blessing isnât that I get an eternal life. My blessing is I found you.ââ

Thinkin about how as kids parents told us to clean our rooms without having ever shown us how to themselves, taught us any organizational skills, spatial management, or any other knowledge necessary to know how to efficiently tackle a mess without getting overwhelmed and then got exasperated when we as ten year olds didnât justâŠâŠfigure it out
This is not a dunk on my parents for the record. I had wonderful parents growing up and still have an amazing mom. I think this is just one of those smaller and common things of parenthood that I think addressing would be monumental in reducing a very common household stressor. If parents led their children in cleanups and helped them reason out plans to manage their time and stuff, especially neurodivergent kids, the entire household would be a lot more calm, streamlined, and overall happy I think!!!
Iâve got one 7 year old perfectionist (possible ADHD) and one sweet 5 year old hurricane (DEFINITE ADHD) and me (also brain full of cats, despises prolonged supervisory things). Hereâs some things Iâve learned specific to that that are also generally good for teaching kids to clean. (Or yourself.)
1. If you want a kid to clean, first you have to teach them to even see mess. They donât! But it does stress them out.
âOkay, letâs look for something out of its place. If itâs on the floor, itâs out of place. If itâs on your bed and itâs not a blanket, itâs out of place.â
2. Go by category, itâs easier to find stuff to put away if your search engine has a specific target, and itâs more satisfying and efficient to put away a big chunk of mess at once.
âGot something? Ok, are there other things like it? Letâs find all the BOOKS. I will HELP YOU.â
3. Important!! Donât walk away from a kid with focus issues expecting them to instantly learn a task and finish it! You are setting them up to fail! The first several times you need to be there for the whole process and demonstrate by helping. That motivates them. They feel less panic that youâll bail and theyâll be stuck alone not knowing what to do next. Narrate what youâre doing, too. Help and supervise less as they seem to need you less.
âIâll get the books on the floor, can you help me get the ones under your bed? I canât fit!â
4. In my experience most kids, but especially kids with ADHD would walk to the fucking moon to help you, they just need a clear plan, keep the criticism light, short, and to the point, and ffs PRAISE THEM when they do things right, cause weâve all (I hope) seen the statistics on how much more negative interaction they get compared to other kids (and rejection sensitive dysphoria is a motherfucker). But more than praise you need to show them how what they did was good for THEM. Do nooooooooot take this opportunity for an âI told you soâ or a âfinallyâ or you will suck out all their accomplishment.
âHey, great job, you found that horse you were missing because you cleaned! And your room looks so nice! Itâs really comfortable to play in now, and you did that.â
5. Emphasize it does not have to be perfect or complete to be worth doing. I donât want to will my kids my paralysis of inaction because I canât start part of something unless I can do all of it.
âWe donât have time to do the whole room, but letâs pick up the legos before bed so you donât hurt your feet. And then itâll already be done tomorrow!â
Other small but important things: make sure everyone is fed and not cranky when you start, including you. Do what YOU need to be in the right patient headspace for this. Put on music. Get coffee. Take breaks! Take dance breaks, tickle breaks, whatever. Make em short, set a timer, keep it consistent. Stop completely if theyâre getting overwhelmed or stressed and be prepared to finish another day. They may complain and flop around a lot the first few times. Stay tooth grindingly positive and keep at it, it WILL get better. If you mess up, start again. Itâs ok. Itâs never too late.
Iâm an adult with ADHD who finds cleaning their room a STRUGGLE, so I APPRECIATE THE HELL OUT OF THIS
I would like to go back in time and give this to my mother. She didnât define her expectations when she said, âClean up your roomâ. It was a guessing game, and I got it wrong for years. Had she said, âDo these three things to startâ, that would have made it infinitely easier on both of us.

my favorite thing to do in this christian society is to pretend that i donât know a SINGLE thing abt christianity. like sometimes people will mention things like going to church with their families or upcoming holidays & iâll act utterly clueless abt all of it even though i know absolutely everything ever just bc itâs funny to see people fumble to justify + tell me abt things. if i constantly have to explain my religion and practices to ignorant people, yâall are gonna have to do the exact same thing
like one time i asked this girl what christmas was with my blankest possible expression & she looked at me incredulously & slowly said âitâs jesusâs birthdayâŠâ and i was like oh thatâs cool! whoâs jesus? :-) & she froze for a good fifteen seconds. i think i gave her brain damage it was great
I Love When They Think We Donât See Them
Harry Styles, December 2019.
full offense but hozier did not release several songs saying âfuck cops, fuck capitalism, fuck fascism, fuck settler colonialism, white liberalism is useless, and also FUCK COPSâ to be reduced to colonial cottagecore aesthetic by white women and be compared someone who uses tepid high school metaphors to talk about the Democrats like jfc
the problem here isnât a white woman releasing a cottagecore album and being compared to hozier, itâs how hozierâs previous work and political messages that were specifically written to be about non-white and/or non-Western communities are ignored in favour of what white audiences can consume. Jackboot Jump was about state violence, and it specifically draws attention to non-American events when most artists would refuse to even acknowledge it. Foreigners God and Run are about Irish colonialism by the English. Be is about inhumane immigration conditions. Nina Cried Power was a long tribute to historical activists and Black artists. these are absolutely definitive as part of that canon of work, but they are ultimately ignored in favour of songs that can be pitch-shifted to create a ~wlw love song~
this is obviously a larger issue than swift vs hozier, but it is emblematic of how white audiences consume and, in turn, ignore media that makes them uncomfortable or challenges their paradigms of systemic privilege. the problem is that when creators of colour make political narratives about ourselves, we are ignored; when white creators take time to include radical political narratives about BIPOC, they are are cherry-picked or overlooked for messages that are more palatable. artists that take inspiration from radically progressive politics and use them in their works are constantly watered down when they make white liberal audiences uncomfortable.Â
hozierâs music is reduced to âforest king fae wizardâ because itâs more comfortable to consume and reckon with and relate to, and because itâs easier to draw similarities to another conventional white artist singing about conventional white middle-class womanhood than accept the revolutionary messages and acknowledge the sheer depth of influence that Black artists and activists have had
what do u guys call ur moms ??? idk why this is so fascinating to me but in english i call my mom âmomâ but in romanian i call her âmamiâ mostly or if im annoyed then âmamaâ ??? most ppl ive met call theirs mom though
op teleported in my room and made me do this
also I learned about this project called âqueering the map.â the idea is that in the past gay neighborhoods and gay spaces were very clearly defined bc it just wasnât safe to be yourself anywhere else. as lgbt+ people become more visible and accepted many feel that we are losing our connection to those spaces
so every dot on this map is basically someoneâs queer experience: coming out, meeting their future wife, seeing another gay man in public for the first time, anything you can think of that truly left a mark on them
it started in Montreal and is primarily English-language with most pins dropped in the US, Canada, and Europe, but there are people all over the world whoâve shared their experiences. itâs great to look at places near you but itâs also great to see that even people in places you thought were the middle of nowhere are happy with themselves and finding community and living their lives
Itâs here and itâs SO SWEET?? Just clicking around itâs very personal stories, in first person and a lot of them addressed to a specific âyouâ, and sooo many in extremely poetic language. It feels like an art installation and itâs so beautiful. ;W; Thanks for sharing!!!
⊠thereâs also a lot of really silly ones (like gay sharks in the middle of the ocean)
I looked at Jerusalem and immediately found two favorites for entirely different reasons.
Things I found from the queer community of japan:
Itâs no secret to the Japanese that Shinjuku nichome is the gay district of Tokyo but about half the pins left there are for the same club in that area named gold finger. Definitely a place to check out if youâre looking to get involved in the Japanese queer community for whatever reason, it seems.
I have a sneaking suspicion this submission is a haiku when written in JapaneseâŠ
This guy got the scenic view I guess
Is this how people feel while reading deep romantic poetry because wow Iâm moved.
Honestly the best feeling is learning weâre not as alone as weâve been led to believe
These are all super poetic oml I appreciate every single one of them
There are none in my town. Guess Iâll be the first
I went to my old, STAUNCHLY conservative town and saw âThere are a lot more of us here than most would think, past and presentâ and I nearly cried
like yeah cool we follow each other but when are we gonna date
