At night when everyone is silent and everything is still, I lie in the darkness of my windowless room, the place where they exile me from the community of their heart, and search the unmoving blackness to see if I can find my way home. I tell myself stories, write poems, record my dreams. In my journal I writeâI belong in this place of words. This is my home. This dark, bone black inner cave where I am making a world for myself.

oh to be a small mouse in a pastoral childrenâs novel who lives in a hollowed out tree stump and does nothing but collect dewdrops and sweep their doorstep with a feather
and carve one strawberry into slices like itâs a ham
you get it

âif no art makes you feel anything, make your own art and feel somethingâ is too raw of a line to have come from a jenna marbles video of her painting a rainbow/polka dot seahorse saying âitâs seahorse timeâ on a denim jacket

Actually Spotify looks like this while it watches you listen to four very popular musicians on the top 100 charts.

too many people prayed for the world to NOT end in 2012 and god panicked and started pulling out rough drafts. bonus years. side quests and horror stories. he dug up his flop era and started posting it for all to see. you fangirled too hard and now earth is running ten seasons past a perfectly written ending using unlikeable background characters and resurrecting terrible plot lines. congratulations youâve supernauralâd the earth.
âIf a society puts half its children into short skirts and warns them not to move in ways that reveal their panties, while putting the other half into jeans and overalls and encouraging them to climb trees, play ball, and participate in other vigorous outdoor games; if later, during adolescence, the children who have been wearing trousers are urged to âeat like growing boys,â while the children in skirts are warned to watch their weight and not get fat; if the half in jeans runs around in sneakers or boots, while the half in skirts totters about on spike heels, then these two groups of people will be biologically as well as socially different. Their muscles will be different, as will their reflexes, posture, arms, legs and feet, hand-eye coordination, and so on. Similarly, people who spend eight hours a day in an office working at a typewriter or a visual display terminal will be biologically different from those who work on construction jobs. There is no way to sort the biological and social components that produce these differences. We cannot sort nature from nurture when we confront group differences in societies in which people from different races, classes, and sexes do not have equal access to resources and power, and therefore live in different environments. Sex-typed generalizations, such as that men are heavier, taller, or stronger than women, obscure the diversity among women and among men and the extensive overlaps between them⊠Most women and men fall within the same range of heights, weights, and strengths, three variables that depend a great deal on how we have grown up and live. We all know that first-generation Americans, on average, are taller than their immigrant parents and that men who do physical labor, on average, are stronger than male college professors. But we forget to look for the obvious reasons for differences when confronted with assertions like âMen are stronger than women.â We should be asking: âWhich men?â and âWhat do they do?â There may be biologically based average differences between women and men, but these are interwoven with a host of social differences from which we cannot disentangle them.â

Yes.
Here, have a study (x) showing that mothers underestimate their daughterâs physical capacity from as young as 11 months old (though in reality itâs identical to that of their sonâs at the same age). And if you think that parents acting on those expectations wonât alter their childrenâs development, then I have a sloped bridge to sell you.
I've been laughing like a hyena for the past 15 minutes

Where is her Oscar
spider-man 2002 is actually such a funny movie and not even in the âoh so cringeyâ way. peter waving to mj when she was actually waving to her friends? the âgo web goâ scene??? peter dragging a cafeteria tray across the cafeteria??? peter finding out he had super powers and immediately jumping off a building and flinging himself into a wall???? peter absolutely demolishing his room and telling his aunt itâs a science project???? peters first costume? so fucking funny

The way that we learn about Helen Keller in school is an absolute outrage. We read âThe Miracle Workerâ- the miracle worker referring to her teacher; sheâs not even the title character in her own story. The narrative about disabled people that we are comfortable with follows this format- âovercomingâ disability. Disabled people as children. Helen Keller as an adult, though? She was a radical socialist, a fierce disability advocate, and a suffragette. Thereâs no reason she should not be considered a feminist icon, btw, and the fact that she isnât is pure ableism- while other white feminists of that time were blatent racists, she was speaking out against Woodrew Wilson because of his vehement racism. She supported womanâs suffrage and birth control. She was an anti-war speaker. She was an initial donor to the NAACP. She spoke out about the causes of blindness- often disease caused by poverty and poor working conditions. She was so brave and outspoken that the FBI had a file on her because of all the trouble she caused.
Yet when we talk about her, itâs either the boring, inspiration porn story of her as a child and her heroic teacher, or as the punchline of ableist, misogynistic jokes. Itâs not just offensive, itâs downright disgusting.
the reason the story stops once hellen keller learns to talk is no one wanted to listen to what she had to say
howâs that for a fucking punchline
Another part of the story that is often conveniently omitted is that Anne Sullivan, the âmiracle workerâ in question, was also a visually impaired woman (and abolitionist) who faced her own struggles finding accessible education. That was why she was able to teach Helen Keller and connect her with resources that would allow her to flourish in academia. When Helen Keller was railing against poverty-induced diseases that caused blindness, she was talking about things like trachoma which was what had caused her friendâs vision loss.
The fact that Sullivan is often portrayed as able-bodied in retellings of their story is indicative of the narrative that is most comfortable for an ableist society: that accessibility and equality are gifts bestowed upon the disabled by able-bodied heroes. Disabled children are never taught that they have the power to lift each other up, and thatâs a crying shame.
I didnât learn she was an activist until college when (the chillest history teacher in the world) had us read Zinn & Arnoveâs Voices of A Peopleâs History (which I highly recommend), and we were tested on Helen Kellerâs âStrike Against Warâ speech. Here is the beginning of her speech:
âTo begin with, I have a word to say to my good friends, the editors, and others who are moved to pity meâŠI do not want their pityâŠI know what Iâm talking about.â
Old dude came in the shop and when I said "lemme know if you have any questions" he goes "what was the name of Alexander the Great's horse," thinking he was so funny. I told him Bucephalus, and he was so disappointed. Like his whole day was hanging on beating me at trivia. He says "you're only the second person who knew that" and I said "well, probably the third if you count Alexander the Great." He left without buying anything, and did not say goodbye. I think I honestly hurt his weird little feelings! Sorry I'm a bitch, old man!
I had one of these once, bookshop customer randomly challenged me to name, quote, âthe only word in English where two uâs are next to each otherâ, and when I immediately said âvacuumâ he looked disappointed and when I pointed out it isnât even the only word with two uâs next to each other in English and offered âcontinuumâ as an example he looked like Iâd just punched his ribcage out his back like a Mortal Kombat character
People claiming this didnât happen have never worked a day in retail
Quick i need a gamer drink that isnt gamer girl bathwater or gamer fuel because i cant get either of those in canada
Rockstar, Monster, and Red Bull.
My dad paypals me 20 bucks every exam season "for red bull and snickers" because he swears by a trick he used to do in college where he would chug a red bull and eat a snickers in the exam hall before every single one of his exams and he did well on all of them. Legitimately swears to this day that it works and makes me do it. The first time i tried it i also knocked that exam out of the park. It would take 2 more years for either of us to figure out that we both had low blood pressure and what all that caffeine and sugar was making us experience was known as "normal blood pressure allowing us to concentrate better." My dad still swears that it was the red bull and snickers and not the medical equivalent of using the wrong equation and getting the right answer.
I recently found out why my mom would never sleep around me when I was a kid. Like sheâd never let herself take naps or sleep if I was awake, ever. Or if she did, she would lock her bedroom door. So when I was 6, I was asleep in my bed in the middle of the night when I hear a loud bang, like a pot being dropped and come out to the living room to see my mom standing by the window, with just a huge pile of spaghetti all over the sill, and a pot on the ground, and I âm like âAre you gonna eat all that?â And yaâll she getâs BIG MAD and yells at me and chases me to my room but then a little while later a bunch of cops show up and ask me a bunch of random ass questions about my art? Like this one cop lady keeps asking me to draw dragons for her?! And they seem mad as hell
I didnât want to get arrested so I just never asked my mom for spaghettis after that. Lesson, learned. Donât ask mom for spaghettis or sheâll call the damn police on you.Â
So I have this memory in my head, and it goes unquestioned until I say it outload for the first time a few months back and as soon as I say the words âWhen I was six, my mom called the cops on me for asking for spaghettisâ My adult logic slams into place and is like âHang on. Your mother definatly did not call the police on a 6 year old for asking for spaghetti.âÂ
So obviously thatâs not what really went down. I call up my mom to tell her how I remember it and on top of her figuring out why her kid has always been really cagey around spaghettis for the last 3 decades she tells me what really happened.Â
So on that night, a man tried to break into our house through the front window. It was just my mom, and her kids so she did what she felt she had too and shot him in the head. Heâd been wearing a helmet, which landed on the floor under the window.
Now I just want yaâll to put yourselves in my moms shoes for a minute here. This woman has just taken a human life. The trauma of that- the instant agony, the panic, the guilt, the fear- all of it hitting her at once, her only solace the knowledge that her children are safe. She protected her daughters. No matter the cost to her soul- her children are safe.
Then she looks up and sees her six year old staring at the inside of this mans head before saying âAre you gonna eat all that?âÂ
I suspect they were trying to keep me busy and distracted while they cleaned up the corpse in the living room?!?
oh, fair enough
Can confirm, when kids are on site in certain incidents/situations, look around, think fast, distract them and go along with whatever the hell any safe/familiar/etc person may have told the kid before you got involved (in this case the parent is the safe person)
It may have been that there was some kind of dragon themed kid stuff laying around that they picked up on, depending on your age something like Dragon Tales or How to Train Your Dragon etc.
Alternatively the parent here may have just said âthey like dragons work with thatâ and it worked.
Most important thing if a kid was present but isnât aware and wasnât directly involved, keep it that way and keep them unaware of the situation by just behaving normally and providing a simple, ideally fun or familiar, task for the child to focus on.
The one cop might have been pushy because they wanted kiddo to be more weirded out by them that by the situation at hand overall. Not the best approach, but worked well enough in this case.
If the kid needs to be asked questions later etc fine, but thatâs later. Right now, parent needs help and reassurance, kid is oblivious, potential threat already eliminatedâ Thatâs about as ideal as such a situation can be, really.
Ok but this post started with you saying you found out why your mom would never let herself sleep around you. Was she⊠was she afraid you would murder her in her sleep and eat her brains????
watched a bunch of old, standard def, Spongebob episodes on a 4K HD TV last night and i loved seeing all the fried JPEGs they used for background objects, like these door handles.
like the pineapple in this screenshot probably looks pretty seamless on an SD TV but now it looks like an MS paint addition.Â
