I need an adult! Oh, wait... @imohkai - Tumblr Blog

…How am I just now realizing why the penguin from “Olive, the Other Reindeer” is named Martini?

Olive.

Martini.

…It just hit me now. XP

So I have my dog trained to sit when she wants pet (she used to be very wild and jumpy when we first got her, it’s been a long road) so now when she wants attention she just sits very still and stares VERY intently at you (she’s extremely non verbal and hardly makes sound in general)

So, today I let her out and didn’t realize the fence gate was wide open, and she just shoots right out at this older man and a small girl (bc she just LOVES PEOPLE. A lot) The girl kinda shrieks and the man pulls her behind him (which I get it, my dogs small but she’s still part Pitt, and she was running full throttle at them) and all of a sudden my dog just pulls up completely, full stop, and plants her ass on the ground in front of them, staring and wagging her tail.

And they just stand there, staring at each other. She’s like, vibrating with energy, waiting for pets, and these people are like “wtf” so I run up and explain and the old guy was just so thrilled honestly. The little girl starts petting her and the old dude was gushing about how trained and well behaved she is (I mean, ignoring the fact that she shot out of the gate LMAO) but like, that just made me so happy. I’ve put so much time and effort into training her and making her feel safe and comfortable after he (horrifying) past and I’m just so so proud of her.

TLDR; my dog is a good gorl and I luv her

This is the good girl in question

I’d just like to add, see how they behave when they’re angry/frustrated/exhausted, and if you see something that concerns you, wait until they’re calm, and then talk to them about it.

My husband used to yell when he got frustrated, but after I explained to him that I found it upsetting, he stopped yelling and started consciously working on asking for help before he got to that level of frustration.

When I’m upset over something, or just in a bad mood, I tend to withdraw. My husband explained to me that it makes him feel like I’m mad at him, so now when I need some space, I’ll tell him what I’m upset about, or that I’m in a bad mood for no particular reason, and I need to be alone for a little while.

See your friends and partners at their worst, but don’t assume that their worst is immutable. If someone loves and cares about you, they’ll try to accommodate you to the best of their ability.

^^^^ This is the best advice I’ve ever seen on this site, and it is so important. Communication is everything, and is 80% of the reason my husband and I have such a healthy, strong, and supportive relationship.

garbageshepherd

Also–notice when people refuse to communicate. Rufusal to have a conversation or getting angry when you try to bring something up while they seemed to be in an okay mood is a big red flag

Not everyone who has issues communicating is a bad person or an abuser or w/e, its that you are not obligated to hold anyones hand through the process of setting boundaries and finding effective modes of coexisting or having a relationship.

I see this ESPECIALLY with various men ive lived with who have refused to have conversations, or even when they agreed to talk turn to insults or manipulative statements as soon as i say something they dont like

Do they have individual socialization issues and neurodivergencies and truama that contribute to this being a problem? Yep sure absolutely

Do i blame them or think theyre bad people or less than me or have failed in some way? No

Am i, a person who ALSO has truama and socialization issues and is neurodivergent and takes conscious steps to confront those things and communicate effectively regardless of the obstacles ive had to learning those skills, going to put effort into being a free therapist for someone who wont even sit down and have a good faith conversation with me? FUCK NO YALL

and you dont have to either.

This is my new favorite hangout spot. I walked here from home with a cup of tea and my watercolor supplies. A floating dock out of the reach of sun or rain floats underneath the marina. And it has friends. 😍

You’d think it’d be 32 because he’s got a slight weight advantage, but 856 is the underdog.

but where’s my boy 480 Otis?

girl-sim-deactivated20230806-de

480 Otis got out-fatted by 409 Beadnose this year.

My prediction that 856 would be 32 Chunk was wrong.

My money is on 747, the dude is a straight MONSTER

I am absolutely furious,, what the fuck are people thinking??? She’s seven (7). They better square tf up because I’m about to drop kick them all

thepersephonecabin

To explain for people wondering- the reason she’s being harrassed is because when she was out with her family at the mall she didn’t stop to give an autograph and take a picture with an (assumably adult) fan who then went off on her parents for not “teaching your girl [Lexi] how to act in public”.

She is 7 years old, and she doesn’t owe anyone her time, especially when she’s just trying to enjoy a day off with her family. I don’t care if you’re a fan, famous people don’t owe you anything.

anneuhken-deactivated20200828

if i see anyone hasseling a seven year old in public, famous or not, for a photo you best believe i’m whooping ass with one hand and calling the police with the other

she is SEVEN. she is a LITERAL CHILD. you are literally the DEFINITION of stranger danger if you even APPROACH HER in public.

dancing-with-dichotomies

What the fuck how is it not obvious that you don’t even approach child stars in public let alone ask them for jack shit???

thecalmissar

This is what happens when people are invested way too much in Hollywood and fandom. You are never entitled to people’s time.

So a funny thing happened this morning....

I was ahead of schedule on my way in to work, so I stopped to get breakfast at a Wawa (a popular chain of large convenience stores/gas stations on the US east coast).

As I was coming out, a small crow wheeled right over my head and perched on the corner of the awning in front of the store. He puffed his feathers and shook out his wings and regarded me with one bright black eye. I know a messenger when I see one, so I minded my manners…and ignored the odd looks from the people around me.

Me: Good morning.

Crow: -polite caw-

Me: -taking a piece of donut from my bag- Would you like some breakfast?

Crow: -tips his head the other way and flaps a few times-

Me: Here you go. -tosses the piece onto the ground just below the awning-

Crow: -hesitates, looking between me and the bit of pastry-

Me: It’s all right, it’s for you. -takes a step back for good measure- Go ahead.

Crow: GRAWK! -glides down from the awning, pecks up the snack, and wheels once over my car before flying off-

Me: Give my regards to your mistress, fella.

Lady in the next parking space: …..What kinda Halloweentown shit was that?

Me: -big smile- Any witch worth their salt knows you should always be polite to crows. -hops into car and goes on to work-

WAKE. UP.

Never Again is right now! Wake up and fight back!

Marshae Jones was five months pregnant when she was shot in the stomach. The police say she initiated a fight that led to the shooting.

WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK.

Marshae Jones was shot in 2018 during an argument. She was 5-months pregnant at the time and the trauma ended the pregnancy. While charges were dropped against the shooter, the survivor, Marshae Jones is now being charged with manslaughter for starting the argument. Black and indigenous women are almost always the first targets of policies that attempt to steal autonomy over their own bodies from women. Marshae is clearly the victim in this situation, yet she now faces a hefty prison sentence for being shot. She is being held on a $50,000 bail. This is absolutely disgusting, and we must end both the system of cash bail and the prison industrial complex that seeks to criminalize black, brown, and working class white people at every opportunity. #SayHerName

revolutionarykoolaid

SIGNAL BOOST: Shoutout to the NYT for being the first major publication I’ve seen refer to Marshae Jones’s lost pregnancy as her fetus. Women are more than just incubators!

SIGNAL BOOST: Don’t just be alarmed. We can help Marshae Jones make bail by giving to the Yellow Hammer Fund, a reproductive justice organization in Alabama. “Losing a pregnancy should never be criminalized. Donate at paypal.me/yellowfund or yellowhammerfund.org with the note MARSHAE. #reprojustice #reproductivejustice”

This is literally the only kind of shit accomplished by anti-abortionists. They aren’t saving babies. They’re worshiping fertilized eggs to the point of ruining the lives of our actual creators, the people who physically carry and conceive all human life. They torture them, terrorize them, kill them, reduce them to reproductive slaves at all costs. Objects. Pro-lifers created this state of things and every single one of them is a monster. Every single fucking one is at fault for this and many, many other horror stories.
