In case you were wondering, I got logged out of my tumblr. It turns out I do not remember the password, even a little. Re-awakened an old iPad and voila! Tumblr is still logged in.

NOT EVERYTHING IS A 100K SLOWBURN COFFEESHOP AU

[nyctosaurid]

can i say? rats, pythons, and pigeons look specifically engineered to be people’s dream cutesy animals . no idea what got lost in the wide perception of them

[nyctosaurid]

not to be martian on main but if i was rolling in off the spaceship and someone was like these are considered gross around here i would literally riot

[imbarrazzato]

Personally I don’t understand the pigeon thing, buuuut there’s actually some interesting theories in anthropology about why humans might semi-instinctually fear snakes. Also rats carry disease, including one of the worst diseases that’s ever infected people, so the revulsion is adaptive rather than instinct in that respect.

Alllllso, these are deliberately cute images. I’m sure I could find some to persuade you that all three are scary, ugly and dirty.

This also makes me think of variation of personality and culture. I’ll point out that human infants are literally engineered to be attractive to human adults AND there are lots of brain chemicals backing them up, yet the populations of many countries are dropping rapidly. In some cases extinction is imminent.

If someone isn't available during your most crucial time, then their presence any other time is useless.

[mymindsecho]

This isn’t realistic for adults. I’m sorry it’s just not.

Don’t fall into believing that, “if they’re a true friend they’ll drop everything and run to be by your side!” crap.

As a responsible adult there will be times that your friends are hurting and you won’t be able to go to them.

There are times that you will have to go to work, or take your sick kid to the doctor, or do many other things that will prevent you from being there for your friend.

When your friend calls you and they’re falling apart and it’s ten minutes until you have to leave for work, you’re not a bad friend for saying, “Look, I love you. I’m sorry this is happening, but I have to go. I’ll call you back tonight when the kids are asleep.” Or “I’m so sorry this is happening. I love you and I want to be here for you but I’ve got to get to work. I’ll call and check on you during my lunch.”

Adult life is hectic and busy with important things all the time and unfortunately it’s also full of shitty things happening to people we love.

Do your best to be there for the people you love and ask for support when you need it but be understanding when being a responsible adult comes before helping you.

[neurotoxinsonline]

The idea that people need to be there any time you need them is really damaging and unhealthy, too. You can’t place value on a person or a relationship based solely on whether or not they’re available, no questions asked, whenever you need them.

In addition to the above: sometimes, someone simply does not have the energy to help. Maybe they’re coming out of a rough patch themself, maybe they have been busy all day,maybe a chronic illness is flaring up. There are a myriad of reasons someone may not be able to be there.

Obviously, if someone is taking you for granted, and never seems to care how you’re doing, that’s an issue. But to write someone off because their life and your life didn’t line up quite right at a given point in time, or maybe even on more than one occasion, is not a healthy way to handle things.

[imbarrazzato]

I’d like to add to this, sometimes being alone to deal with a situation, even if you’d rather not be alone, shows you what you’re capable of. This has been my experience at least... being helped by friends and/or family all the time isn’t necessarily what’s best for you.

I am the sort of mom that shushs people who interrupt my four month old. Just because we can’t understand her doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be allowed to speak. 🙃

How many people do you think this dude now has to text this article to because they once said “when are you ever going to need that?”

I bet it’s more than one person.
