the most important thing is to be snuggly in bed

I saw the greatest thing today.  So I’m at a stoplight in the passenger seat, right?  And I hear hoofbeats nearby.  I look over and there’s a lady walking her horse. We’re close enough to be in talking distance and this horse is incredibly happy.  Her ears are pricked forward and she’s JUST SO DELIGHTED TO SEE EVERYTHING.

“I like your big dog!” I said.

“Thanks!  She’s an asshole!” she said, and the horse headbutted her so hard she staggered. SHE JUST LOVES THIS HORSE SO MUCH, GUYS, she laughed and patted her nose.

[emmersdrawberry]

THANKS. SHES AN ASSHOLE.

“you talk like a smart/pretentious person” actually I just forget simple words constantly and am forced to rummage through my brain for the nearest synonym, which is usually twice as long and needlessly specific

[peachdoxie]

#see also: the exact feeling im trying to convey with my sentences doesnt get across the same way without that specific word

[sexhaver]

in 4th grade i was introduced to the concept of “run-on sentences” by my teacher and i immediately raised my hand and pointed out that none of the sentences being used as examples were actually grammatically wrong at all and were just longer than most people can comfortably write/read and she made me sit in the corner and i feel like that shows a lot in my typing style on this hellsite

[sexhaver]

run-on sentences are adhd culture

SLPT: Confuse those wine snobs by *hearing* the wine

[zombiebiologist]

so i told my mom about this post before she and my dad went on a trip to napa, and she was delighted to try this out

and apparently, when she straight-faced, lifted her glass of chardonnay to her ear and swirled it, she baffled the other winery-goers so much that they all instinctively did exactly the same thing. that sort of crowd-think, that you aren’t quite sure what’s right but you’ll be damned if you’re mistaken for the plebian that you are

but watching that was enough for my mom to lose her composure, laugh so hard she cried, and spill the entire glass all over herself, in the process getting kicked out of the winery

so long story short do this at your own risk

And this is a great example of informational conformity

sometimes fan fiction is a love letter to a piece of media.

sometimes it’s a strongly-worded demand for custody of the characters.

Instead of making up shitty racist headcanons about Miles shoplifting join me in headcanoning him picking up ballet because he thought Gwen being a ballerina was super neat and it would help him in his spiderman job

Spider strength he can’t control + Lifts = Hilarity

The man holding this #BlackLivesMatter sign is Richmond (CA) police chief Chris Magnus, whose department has not lost an officer or killed a citizen since 2007, the year after he took over. This is not an accident, this peacefulness is the direct result of his leadership. Police departments across the country should be looking to his department as an example to be followed.

‘Chief Magnus changed the department from one that focused on “impact teams” of officers who roamed rough neighborhoods looking to make arrests to one that required all officers to adopt a “community policing” model, which emphasizes relationship building.

“We had generations of families raised to hate and fear the Richmond police, and a lot of that was the result of our style of policing in the past. It took us a long time to turn that around, and we’re seeing the fruits of that now. There is a mutual respect now, and some mutual compassion.”’

the interview is pretty awesome if you want to watch it: https://www.yahoo.com/news/richmond-california-police-chief-chris-magnus-talks-community-policing-in-katie-couric-interview-044448393.html?ref=gs

They also do regular officer trainings with roleplay scenarios and airsoft guns to teach them how to de-escalate, how to avoid firing when fired upon, and how to deal with people with weapons in a way that doesn’t end with a shootout.

They also apparently go through the details of officer-involved shootings elsewhere, picking them apart and using them as teaching tools for what NOT to do or what the officer could have done to avoid shooting the person.

Essentially, they take a proactive approach to not shooting people and put time, money, and effort into it. Richmond isn’t a low-crime area. Other cities could follow their model and almost certainly see results.

[brinconvenient]

Who’d have thought it would take so much work to learn how to just … NOT shoot people

[trashmouse]

These are the sort of police officers who deserve respect.  The ones who take the time to build a relationship with the community they’re supposed to be protecting, and work to actually protect people instead of just shooting anyone who looked scary.

[oswinstark]

In before anyone tries to say that the only reason this works is because Richmond is probably like “not as bad” as other places in the US

I grew up here. I’m close to Richmond. It used to be one of the most dangerous cities in America. Literally. In 2006 it was #11 in the Most Dangerous Cities in America. 

Now? It doesn’t even break the top 100.

What changed? This guy became police chief in 2007.

IT’S SO FUCKING WEIRD HOW THAT WORKS! *looks pointedly at every other police force in America*

[gremlin10]

A lot of people ask me if I ever feel "trapped" in my long-term relationship. The answer is no.

I have been in enough toxic relationships to know, you are never trapped. Maybe you feel obligated, maybe you feel unworthy of anyone better, but there is always a way out.

Never think I stay in a relationship simply because I feel I have to. I am in the relationship I am in because I choose to be in it. I choose to stay. If I feel like my relationship is bad for me, damaging me, it is no longer mine. It is over.

I will never again put myself in a place I feel obligated to be. I am living for me. My happiness. My health. My future.

I am in the relationship I am in because it's good for me, I am here because I want to be.
