On top of the Yankees field cat there was a praying mantis on top of the nationals players hat tonight. Huge night in baseball
He was keeping the mantis updated on the number of outs, too
the mantis is making him good at baseball ratatouille style
This is literally the same
Hold up. She's 25 and he's 32....if they've been together for 8 years then they met when she was 17 and he was 24....He needs the electric chair
@ everyone in the notes that think the age gap isn't a problem
Just to spell it out for those who still don’t get it: He was an adult, and she was a minor 7 years younger than him. Even if we would look over the fact that this legally counts as pedophilic behavior in a lot of countries, the age difference is exactly what gave him the power to be so manipulative later on in their relationship. But you know, just let it sink in that the start was still fucking creepy and disgusting. I’m in my midtwenties. 17 year olds address me with Mister, Sir and the formal form of you in Dutch. If I had done a different study I could’ve been their teacher, after having finished college. That’s how large of a difference these 7 years are: They are in completely different phases of their life. I understand that maybe he made a bad judgment when guessing her age when he was initially attracted to her, that much I could believe, but when you (in your midtwenties, at the end of or even after college) discover that the person you approached is literally and legally still a child, you get away. You don’t pursue. You accept that you fucked up and move on. THAT is what is normal and expected behavior.
Think about why this man didn’t move on. Think about what made him decide to continue their relationship. It wasn’t just love or even lust.
He’s got 6 years of experience being a legal adult, while she hasn’t even started adulthood yet. The reason he thinks he gets to tell her what her hair should be like, and the reason she is asking for help here instead of immediately realizing this is dangerous behavior she should end the relationship for, is probably because he has been doing and saying similar things for their entire relationship. She’s not experienced legal adult agency without him being there as her guidance telling how to do things.
Now, 8 years into their relationship, 2 years into their marriage, she does realize that a threatening divorce over a hair color is a bit too much, but someone doesn’t just come up with these kind of threats out of nowhere. He’s done this for a long time, gradually testing his limits, and he’s gone too far this time which made her notice. How much manipulation do you think she missed?
^^^^^alll of this... a word. gospel.
Different love languages:
Knowing someone's coffee/food order
"Saw this and thought of you" texts
Falling asleep on their shoulder
"Drive safe" and "text me when you get home"
Having nicknames for eachother
dear anxiety,
fuck off. you are ruining my fucking life and i am done.
“I am a white woman. I am standing beside a black woman. We are facing a group of white people who are seated in front of us. We are in their workplace, and have been hired by their employer to lead them in a dialogue about race. The room is filled with tension and charged with hostility. I have just presented a definition of racism that includes the acknowledgment that whites hold social and institutional power over people of color. A white man is pounding his fist on the table. His face is red and he is furious. As he pounds he yells, “White people have been discriminated against for 25 years! A white person can’t get a job anymore!” I look around the room and see 40 employed people, all white. There are no people of color in this workplace. Something is happening here, and it isn’t based in the racial reality of the workplace. I am feeling unnerved by this man’s disconnection with that reality, and his lack of sensitivity to the impact this is having on my cofacilitator, the only person of color in the room. Why is this white man so angry? Why is he being so careless about the impact of his anger? Why are all the other white people either sitting in silent agreement with him or tuning out? We have, after all, only articulated a definition of racism.”

This insulated environment of racial protection builds white expectations for racial comfort while at the same time lowering the ability to tolerate racial stress, leading to what I refer to as White Fragility. White Fragility is a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium.

There are a hundred and seventy-eight laws that differentiate on the basis of sex. Women can’t work overtime. We have to get credit cards in our husbands names. We’re not allowed to work in the mines. This is a man’s world.
You think you can change the country? You should look to her generation. They’re taking to the streets. Protests are important, but changing the culture it means nothing if the law doesn’t change.

if you’re reading this
a lump sum of money is on the way to you
it happened today, damn that was like 3 days maybe?
It Works the money is on its way!
the weirdest thing about a lot of the common criticisms of millennials i see is that they all seem to boil down to:
you are soft. you believe the world should be kind. you expect people to treat you fairly. you think your needs are important, that you deserve to be listened to, that you shouldn’t be hungry and frightened and in pain.
and people are seriously SO OFFENDED by this. like, how dare you. how dare you believe the world might be a good place, how dare you believe you should be treated well just for existing. life is pain, princess, anyone who tells you different is selling something, now wipe that smile off your face, shut your mouth and go suffer like i did.
and it’s just like… i have a kid. if she grows up expecting better treatment than i experienced as a young woman, i’m doing my job. i know the world isn’t perfect, but random cruelty isn’t something we should just shrug our shoulders and accept, and it’s so fucking weird how angry people get at youngsters who refuse to do just that.
do u ever just think about the fact that molly weasley saw HARRY POTTER, the boy who defeated voldemort, and went “i’m gonna knit this kid a christmas sweater”
what i love thinking about is in the book ron says he told his mum that harry wasn’t expecting any christmas presents and that’s why she sent him them and knowing ron can be a bit scatty/oblivious he probably didn’t mention it til like two days before christmas so i just like to think of molly sitting up all night knitting harry his sweater and baking him homemade fudge or whatever because she’d be damned if she’d let harry go present-less at christmas
Or maybe Harry is just as dismissive. Like, Ron is dreaming aloud of him mom’s homemade fudge and asks Harry what he wants and Harry shrugs “the Dursley never give me anything, last year I got a half-used eraser” and Ron is like 0_0 because what, no one is going to give a gift to his new best friend? So he takes poor Errol telling Percy it’s an emergency and Percy’s like no! and Ron’s like HARRY NEVER GETS CHRISTMAS GIFTS YOU GIT and Percy’s like Oh. Ok. Write mom. And Ron’s letter is mainly MOM HARRY NEVER GETS CHRISTMAS GIFTS FROM HIS MUGGLES WHAT DO I DO and then it’s December 23 at night and Arthur is ready to go to bed and sees his wife get the yarn and the knitting needles out again and Honey I thought you were done? Did we get another child while I was at work? YES, she answers, furious. Ron’s new friend, little Harry. If I get this done by tomorrow morning I can make a batch of fudge and send Errol back with it. And that’s when Arthur Weasley realized they did get another kid when he wasn’t looking but, honestly, once you went past the five kids mark you stopped counting.
“ Did we get another child while I was at work?” “YES”
I can’t stop laughing at Harry running the fuck away, the boy who lived ladies and gentlemen.
….You realize, of course, that Hermione Granger lit a teacher on fire when she was eleven, and kept a person alive in a jar for a year when she was fourteen, and studies dark and forbidden magics for kicks, and is one of the brightest and strongest witches of her era. If she came at me, even wandless, I would aparate to Neptune to get away from her.
Hermione Granger also:
punched Draco Malfoy in the nose for being an idiot
purposefully performed a confundus charm on whatshsface WHILE HE WAS FLYING just so Ron would win (omfg that is so fucking dangerous)
literally pulled a fucking Bourne Identity on her parents and managed to set them up in fucking Australia (jesus christ she literally made it so that she NEVER EXISTED wtf that’s so fucking 007)
Convinced the Ministry of Magic to give her an incredibly dangerous and volatile device that allowed her to ALTER TIMELINES COMPLETELY (just because she was so smart, literally, that is the reason, her “potential”)
Has enough basic survival skills and badass magic to literally disappear to the middle of nowhere and flourish AND figure out Voldemort’s plot with Harry
Hermione also figures out not only what Voldemort’s plan is, but generally how to beat it, WAY BEFORE VOLDEMORT EVER DOES. Why? because she is just that much smarter and better at magic than everybody else
in conclusion: Voldemort wishes he could be as awesome as Hermione, that’s why he wants to kill her so bad.
Can we rehave this series with hermione as the protagonist.
I can’t stop raving about Children of Blood and Bone! I was so worried that it would fall flat after so many other bloggers gave it five star reviews, but it lived up to the hype. And I want to share this amazing book with you guys!
So my newest giveaway is this UK paperback copy of Children of Blood and Bone. I’ll be purchasing from Book Depository so it is open internationally as long as they ship to your country.
