My cat likes to keep a schedule and if I don’t go to bed on time he just… sits somewhere nearby and stares at me until I go to bed.
Tonight while doing that, he fell asleep
So instead of going to bed like he wanted me to I made him into a meme
my refrigerator w legs barrels towards me and grabs me and stuffs me into its vegetable drawer then casually walks away
Is your refrigerator running
my refrigerator w legs is standing in the middle of your street gripping a rolling pin. are you running?
did u guys know there’s a whole subset of tumblr that hates bobby flay’s guts
brotherhood scar looks like 03 scar’s dad
son. you disappointing boy. are you still in that “goth rock” band
its emo dad, not goth… god. i hate you.
In fifth grade a boy tried to impress me by swallowing a whole tadpole live and I punched him so hard that he puked and the tadpole was fine.
I kept it in a terrarium and it became a normal 🐸 despite everything. About a year afterward (I thought) it died, so I sadly put it in a shoebox in the shed until the ground thawed enough for a proper funeral but when that day came I opened the box and the frog was fine.
This is funnier than anything I have ever said.
the way I absolutely miss walking everywhere
Yeah death to America as usual

There is no force in this world more powerful than the kindness of little girls.
not a meme but i think it would be pretty fuckin cool if we all did this. and not just for a month, but until we start getting what we deserve. they only profit off of us. they don’t deserve our attention. eat the rich.
Illegally small
The absolute audacity of a system that continues to fail our children, but still tries to keep control over them. Suck my dick, disrespectfully.
Yes the system continues to fail our kids and control them. But I don’t think that’s what this is. This actually could help kids, even if the school isn’t communicating that clearly. Hear me out.
The reason not to wear pajamas to online school is because it’s bad for your mental health and productivity in school. By changing out of pajamas into different clothes, you send a signal to your brain that you’re entering a different part of the day and it’s time to focus.
In the beginning of the 2020 school year, I worked in a high school helping students adjust to virtual learning and stay focused. Many students who weren’t changing out of pajamas or getting out of bed to do virtual learning complained that it was hard to focus and this school year was depressing. I gave them three tips to help them focus better:
- Get out of bed. Your bed is too comfortable and you won’t want to work in it. Plus, if you spend all day in bed, it becomes harder to fall asleep at night, beginning a vicious cycle. Anyone who has struggled with getting out of bed due to their mental health experience knows how difficult focusing becomes on day four or five of this cycle and how much worse your mental health becomes.
- Change out of your pajamas. Here’s where I differ from schools saying “no pajamas period.” As I told the students I worked with, I don’t care if you change into different pajamas. Just change out of the warm, cozy pajamas you slept in to send that signal to your brain that you’re entering a different part of the day. Sure, ideally, everyone would jump out of bed and get dressed in an exciting new outfit everyday, but we don’t always have that energy. So maybe we just start with changing our night groufit for our daytime groufit. The effect of changing your clothes and putting in effort to start the day still work.
- Work at a table, not from bed. Again, this idea of having separate spaces for work and for sleep will help you work and sleep better. One of my students didn’t have access to a chair and table because of their siblings also doing school from home. There just wasn’t the table space. So they decided the end of their bed away from their pillows and with their lap desk was their school spot. Then the head of the bed with all the comfy pillows was for relaxing/sleeping. Even a small distinction like this can help.
- Bonus tip! If you wear shoes in your house, try putting on shoes at the beginning of the day even if you’re likely not going outside that day. Putting on shoes is another great signal to your brain that you are getting ready to be productive. Some people wear lace up shoes to really make the commitment of tying your shoes on and starting your day.
Students were usually hestitant about these tips. They liked being in their pajamas. Their bed was comfortable. They didn’t want to change, but they did want to see a change in their academic performance. And I don’t just mean grades. These students were frustrated beyond belief that they weren’t understanding the material and I could see it affecting their meantal health and view of self worth.
So some of them tried these tips. For some students, the change was instant. They were able to understand the material and participate in class in a way they hadn’t been before. For some students, the change was slower. They started to see the benefits of changing out of their pajamas, but weren’t ready to try all three tips at once. They had to work up to it. And that’s fine. Honestly, that’s great! That means it was hard and they are trying to do what they can anyway to build energy to do more. What more can we ask of them during virtual learning during a pandemic than to just try?
So when schools are saying “no pajamas!” I think (hope) it’s their way of trying to support the student, though the messaging likely doesn’t come through, especially when schools are so controlling about clothing for girls, trans students, etc. And there is definitely a conversation to be had about when and how they enforce clothing policies. To me (and I understand I may be naive and hopeful in this belief) this seems more like mental health care badly communicated.
Now how they enforce this policy and who gets punished for it is a completely different conversation.
haha. snasa.
hahaahahaha snasa
this person gets it
Did I just see, in the year of our lord 2020 on tumblr dort com, someone use the term 'squick'?
Do we not use squick any more?
Did not get that memo
had I received the memo I would have lit it on fire
Squick is a useful word that allows you to say “I don’t enjoy this and am in fact the opposite of enjoying it, but there’s nothing wrong with you enjoying it.”
It’s a good word and the only reason I can think of to want it to not be used is bc it flies in the face of the purity police’s wanting to make all things they personally dislike “problematic” and “gross”.
Squick is also a useful word when you don’t want to misuse/dilute “trigger.”
Example: I am deeply squicked by descriptions of characters eating in a messy fashion that would leave food and grease all over their faces. I don’t have any trauma or phobias associated with it, so it’s not a trigger. And it’s not something that’s widely disapproved of, like, say, murder, so it’s not something you’re likely to tag for. (After all, how many “cute” photos have you seen of Baby’s First Attempt To Use A Spoon?) I just think it’s really gross, and if it pops up a lot or in detail it’s very likely to tank my enjoyment of what I’m reading, so I’d prefer not.
That, dear children, is a squick. I am squicked by messy eaters.
Please bring the word back in 2020. It’s incredibly useful.
People, I am BEGGING you to bring back “squick”. It is so. damn. useful.
Seriously, when/why did it fall out of use among the rest of you? I still use it, everyone I know (in and out of fandom) still uses it.
i'm gonna be real with you guys i do not give a shit about people "stealing" outdoor cats. i don't feel bad for people who let their cat free roam and found out that someone down the block unknowingly took it in because it was neglected enough for them to think it was a stray.
it's funny you know because when i made this post i wasn't even necessarily pro stealing cats i was simply saying "i don't feel bad for you if you neglect your cat to the point of someone thinking it's a stray". but now after hundreds of notes from absolutely dumbass outdoor cat owners wailing about how they're good owners for letting their cat outside after getting run over by cars/stolen by people/killed by animals i have to say that i think all of you should have your cats stolen and i, personally, am beginning a road trip to steal them all
The outdoor car debate gets people SO riled up. And like.
Look. I GET IT, no one wants to think they are a bad pet owner. You love your cats. You arent intentionally being awful. And you probably grew up with outdoor cats, or indoor/outdoor cats. (I did! They were feral as hell and we lived in the woods and all of them disappeared without a trace eventually. )
But, its 2021. You are responsible for learning and growing and doing your damned best by the animals in your care.
Listen- do not let your cats free roam outside. It's bad for them and it's bad for the local ecosystem.
Give them enrichment inside. Train them with a harness. Build a catio. I dont care. But dont let them free roam if you want the best possible life your your cat.
