learning to notice an absence of people of color is crazy. you start seeing it everywhere. ill see a random pic of characters or people or whatever and be like "these are all white people. why"

[gandalfsbignaturals]

all the babies in those baby youtube video memes. humanized character posts. like. its the little innocent shit. and like, the people making those baby memes probably arent seeking out white babies. maybe theyre just easier to find. but why are they easier to find? a complicated question, surely... but you know what it probably comes down to. someone, somewhere, maybe a lot of someones in a lot of places, made a choice. maybe knowingly, maybe not. but they made a choice. it starts to make you feel like a conspiracy theorist!!

its really funny that after 2 months this post is still making racists come into my askbox treating me like im a horrible person for pointing out that sometimes people of color are excluded from things in visible and offputting ways. cry about it

“there’s no platonic explanation for this”

Well there is actually, they’re friends. They’re friends and they love each other and it doesn’t mean any less than if they were dating and they loved each other. They’re friends and that means devotion and affection and loyalty and love, and there is no point in which that love reaches a level that immediately indicates that their relationship must be romantic.

Blood test results are back. 0’s across the board, dry as a bone under the hood, they’re not sure what they’ve got in those vials but it recoils from light and lunges towards living tissue, which is all normal for girls these days.

ever since I was a little girl I knew I never wanted to tell anyone anything

[kosmogrl]

deciding one day that you want to build a life for yourself is so scary. like damn I really want to live… I’m new to this. where do I even begin

[so-many-ocs]

immediately after an interaction: i have GOT to get more normal oh god i need to get more normal immediately i have to get more normal or they're going to hunt me down they're going to hunt me down and flay me for sport

during an interaction: and why not put a little spin on it? why not add some conversational zest?

[martindykewood]

I’ve mentioned my manager and his baby many times but it is so funny how the baby is just like... his friend. Like I had great parents, I’ve met a lot of great parents, and I’ve never met somebody who talks about their baby like he does.

He’s like “aw I actually can’t go out that night, I’m gonna hang out with [baby’s name].” He talks about her like they have conversations even though she can’t talk yet. It’s never “I took her” to a place, it’s always “we went.” He’s confident that she understands most if not all that happens around her and acts accordingly and it’s so sweet.

When he brought her to see us at work the first time, he was making a pot of coffee for her mom, and even though she was still tiny I remember he talked her through how to make coffee just as if he was talking to an adult.

[sandersstudies]

She’s one now, but I’ve worked with him since she was born and can guarantee he’s always been like this.

He’s like “yes I am friends with my baby, unlike other people my baby is very cool.”

[ghost-in-a-player-piano]

That is gonna be so fucking good for her development.

Feeling appreciated, getting undivided attention, being taught that she's basically competent and just needs experience to do things, the language modelling, the behaviour modelling, the respect for her as a person.

My grandfather did this. He would always talk to me like he cared about what I was saying. He listened to me like whatever I was talking about was the most important thing in the world.
