how sweet it is

My name is Hannah and I reside in PA, USA. I am in love, and live with my boyfriend. I have the best dog ever. I love kids and pregnancy and babies, I love books and feminism, and I love everything about my life.

my mom taught me the therapeutic power of cleaning. open all the windows. throw out the old. wipe down the entire house. burn some incense. roast some coffee. then rest. that way the tears from last night don’t feel as heavy. 

[umushingwe]

She just wanted you to clean the house

there’s a difference between “just do a little yoga it will cure your depression forever :)” and “going for a run won’t solve your problems but it will make you feel a little better and that’s the first step” but this site seems to treat them as the same thing

Hey, here’s a wild concept. 

Plus size clothing that isn’t $45 for one fucking item that’s $12 for small bitch. 

[perniciouspussyparade]

More material required for production = higher cost aka demand and material.

It’s cheaper for a factory to produce clothing for sizes XS through XL or L because that’s more in demand than say…XXL and up. 

[onlyblackgirl]

There literally no reason for an item to be 5x price for an extra 3 inches. Also the majority of America is a size 14 or more so also your logic is failed. Nice try tho.

[alexbelvocal]

It’s bullshit because with that logic short shorts and underwear would be dirt cheap

my internship boss was talking about how he had to work in a mail room to make ends meet during college where he “only made $6/hr” and

Your casual reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with inflation, it’d be a little over $22/hour today!

I kind of wish disney’s ~weird period~ had lasted longer. Like all of a sudden we were getting these films like lilo & stitch and Atlantis and the emperor’s new groove and treasure planet and they were so fun and DIFFERENT. Just thinking about what the pitches for those movies had to have been like is so surreal?? A little blue criminal alien crash lands on a Hawaiian island and gets adopted by two sisters dealing with social services that teach him about the value of family. An Inca emperor gets turned into a llama and john goodman helps him get back to his palace and one of the bad guys talks to squirrels. Treasure island but in SPACE. Like, on the surface, the premise for these films seem so random but they all TOTALLY WORKED IN REALLY GREAT WAYS??? idk I just really miss that early 2000s spark of offbeat creativity in Disney’s timeline.

Okay but the history behind this is so interesting?

All these movies came from the Florida studio, which for a long time was a backup animation studio that did work the main Burbank studio didn’t have time for. 

Then in 1996 Disney decided to focus all their energy on transitioning to 3D animation. They acquired Pixar and started working on A Bug’s Life. 

They basically told the Florida studio (their only remaining full-time 2D animation studio) – “Eeeeeeh, do what you want.”

And the Florida studio, for the first time, got to produce feature films:

Mulan (1998)[27]

Tarzan (1999)[28]

John Henry (2000)[29]

The Emperor’s New Groove (2000)[30]

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)[31]

Lilo & Stitch (2002)

Brother Bear (2003)

Then in 2004 Disney decided to stop producing 2-D feature films altogether. They closed down the Florida studio and laid off all the Florida Studio animators.

Many of whom then got hired by Dreamworks.

That. Explains. Everything.

[violetxpurple-deactivated201610]

Dude..

[ferretfyre]

And then DreamWorks killed *their* 2D film division (in Jeffrey Katzenberg’s words: “traditional animation is dead”), and focused exclusively on creating franchises, namely Shrek and Madagascar sequels, and most of the Disney animators ended up going *back* to Disney when John Lasseter took over the animation division in 2007, and Lasseter encouraged more 2D animation, and a general aura of “back to basics”, which lead to films like Bolt, The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Winnie the Pooh, Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen, Big Hero 6, Zootopia, and Moana. Which would also explain the sudden resurgence in quality from Disney.

There is not one thing magical about this. She shouldn’t have to do this. Are y'all serious right now???? Like y'all should go read about how the father basically just shows up to sleep with her and she ends up pregnant again because she has a condition that makes her ovulate more than necessary and in turn her body rejects birth control and almost kills her. 😒 Quit calling black women that have to go through shit like this magical. Yes, she loves all her children, but the whole situation is stressful. Imagine the toll this takes on her body, and most of her kids hella young and can barely do for themselves. Stop calling these situations magical because she’s black and has no choice but to survive how she can with her kids, while the father does nothing.

I need a trustworthy gofundme for this woman. I’m going to look into this.

I need a way to support her MONETARILY, because using hand clap emojis to somehow applaud her for being hyper fertile and a man using her and leaving her isn’t cutting it. No.

Her GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/care-for-mariam-her-38-children

She is only asking for 10k and so far she is at $1,000. I am definitely donating some money.

There are some heartless comments in the notes calling her irresponsible and careless. Those people have obviously not taken the few minutes to watch this heart wrenching video.

i literally cannot comprehend how someone could look at a buff lady and think “ew”.  like what the fuck is wrong with you, how can you think a lady with muscles she’s worked for is anything other than utterly stunning and blessing you with her presence.  gal’s got shoulders for days?  christ in heaven thank you for existing.  gracious.

Here, even smells take up space. We once made a meal that called for caramelizing three pounds of onions. For hours the onions melted in their pan. Technically they were taking up less and less space, but somehow they intruded more. In a tiny house, the smell of slowly sweated onions is an inescapable, cloyingly rich aroma; a scent to drive men — and women — mad. – The eau de onion spread to everything. It clung especially to the moist bathroom towels, and to the laundry drying in the bedroom. We were never clean again. Fresh from the shower, we immediately smelled of onions — of tiny house. For weeks, smelling like old onions became one of our micro lives’ certainties.

Creative Play

This is inspired by my experience assisting in daycares and preschools where children’s creative play was regulated to a pointless degree.
