So this happened this morning:
Driving my dog to the park to walk, some cruisers flew by me, lights and sirens on. I walked the dog and, driving home over the bridge, saw two cruisers blocking the lane. I went around them, and when I got to the front end of the first one, could see people standing on the bridge, holding onto something that was dangling over the edge. A couple civilians, a couple officers. Then, the thing they were struggling to keep from falling, fell, and the woman standing on the bridge screamed.
I told myself, "Maybe it was a dog who got through the railings and fell."
The officers ran scrambling for the bank of the river, and I pulled my car over to assess whether there was something I could do. I had no access to the area, and the police were running all around, so I drove away.
Another man who was a witness (I assumed) was also walking away, speaking frantically into his phone. I asked him what had just happened, and he yelled angrily at me, "My girlfriend just DIED, that's what happened!" I felt horrible and traumatized by having just witnessed a suicide.
Only... my boss told me a local police officer said it was not a death, but just a police pursuit. And a later news article confirmed that a man had been fleeing from police and had jumped into the river, sustained minor injuries, been checked at the hospital and then arrested.
So, you are asking yourself, "Why did that guy tell you his girlfriend just died!?"
And, I think perhaps he was just being a dick... maybe irritated that he had seen the same traumatic thing I had, and didn't want to talk to a stranger about it.
OR...
Maybe he was just a random guy walking down the street, unaware of the bridge scene, whose girlfriend HAD JUST DIED. And a complete stranger drove up to him and parked her car and ASKED HIM WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED!
Anyway, morning rating: 3/10 Did not enjoy. Too much drama.
Your tongue knows exactly how everything you look at will feel. Try it! Look at the table leg. You know what it will feel like if you lick it. Imagine licking a football. Or the couch. Whether you have or haven't actually licked these things, when you imagine it, your tongue knows. It knows.
this actually makes me super resentful that my fingers don’t know what things taste like
this is the vestigial knowledge gained from shoving everything in the world into your mouth for the first three years of your life
Hi! It's me again ^-^'' I wan wondering if you know any fics in which Sherlock dies because Mary shoot him... :") I need super angst and regrets and unresolved sexual tension and John leaving Mary after somehow finding out she was the shooter. I want to torture myself =)) Thank you so much ❤
Hey Lovely!
Ahh, sadly, I don’t know of any fics where Sherlock permanently dies because of Mary… I can’t do angst lately so I tend to avoid anything remotely having a sad ending or “they’re not together” endings, LOL.
Anyone know of any fics that they would like to suggest?

HAHHHAHH OUCH thanks! <3
elefantcushion said: A River Without Banks by Chryse is amazing (https://archiveofourown.org/works/3204689/chapters/6969521). There’s a few storylines based on different realities. There is an eventual happy ending, but some really awfully heartbreaking interim realities as well, which don’t work out so well for Sherlock.

Thanks Lovely!

Well, this is the author of "Photograph." It's gotten a nice bit of attention over the last few days, so thanks ever so much for your rec. (I had truthfully forgotten I wrote it, and had to look it up to see what it was about!!)

not 2 be controversial on main but i think it’s pretty sad the first major generation to grow up online is projecting their adolescent self-hatred onto the “cringe” generation of tiktokkers
did zillennials seriously spend their youth making OC fanart on devart and livejournal and being told “oh look, they finally emerge” by their parents whenever they risked leaving their room only to turn around 10 years later and say “ewwwh you spent hours cosplaying an OC & learning a viral dance in your bedroom? fuckin cringe”
like….. did we truly lose sight so quickly of how it was to feel young and disconnected and desperate for someone, anyone, to really listen to you? to feel close to you? how quickly have we become jaded to the joys of carefully, earnestly crafting something alone in a dark bedroom and sharing it with the world, hoping for just one other person to say “that’s how i feel, too”? how much must we hate our younger selves in order to blame the teenagers of the world for creating costumes and dances and dreams for themselves???
Sorry to laugh, but... as a VERY OLD person (for Tumblr), y'all are OK-Boomering yourselves to kids who are like 5 years younger than you.
I am CRYING what a masterpiece

What could go wrong…
these all sound like they were made up on the spot and that’s actually why i’m 100% certain these are legit phrases in these languages for this
100% believe that these are real on the unfounded but convincing reasoning that a) they’re long enough to give you some extra thinking time while you say them and b) they’re fun to say, which are the 2 primary characteristics of any whozamewhatsis word.

Pay attention, 2014 Mad Men: This little girl is holding a LEGO set. The LEGOs are not pink or “made for girls.” She isn’t even wearing pink. The copy is about “younger children” who “build for fun.” Not just “girls” who build. ALL KIDS.
In an age when little girls and boys are treated as though they are two entirely different species by toy marketers, this 1981 ad for LEGO — one of our favorite images ever — issues an important reminder.

This is my favorite advertisement. Also, a short story about sexist parenting with LEGOS. I work at a toy store that sells thousands of dollars of legos and I’ve seen time and time again parents refusing to buy blue box legos for girls and refusing to buy pink box legos for boys even when they ask for them. One girl came in with her parents and she wanted LEGO CITY because it was her birthday and they wanted to buy her gift with her at the store. [LEGO CITY is a LEGO series that lets a child build train stations, firetrucks, passenger ships, space exploration vehicles, drawbridges, garbage disposal trucks, basically anything related to the running of a city and it is not a gender based toy.] I showed them the LEGO CITY, but the mom told the child over and over “No, this is for boys you can’t get that” and eventually, she made the little girl choose a LEGO Disney Cinderella Castle instead because it was “more appropriate”. Even after I pointed out that every box has female and male LEGO people because the toy is meant for both boys and girls, she refused because it looked like a “boy” toy. I’ve had many occasions where a girl will be drawn to the LEGO CITY series only for the parents to come to me and ask “Where are the GIRLS Legos, you know, princesses and stuff. I’m not buying her this sort of thing” and it makes me so, so, so, so, sad every time because I can already imagine the types of values in education and career choices the parents will be scolding child for wanting in the future when they aren’t even allowed to play with anything blue. Let girls be kids without all the forced gender stereotyping, dammit.
You know what little girls could grow up to be? Architects, engineers, builders.
You know what little girls cannot ever be, no matter what they do in life? A princess.
We sell real life careers to little boys, but to girls we sell lies and fantasy. Then we have the gall to say that girls ‘choose’ careers that earn them less, that girls just aren’t interested in STEM fields, that girls are stupid for pursuing frivolous nonsense, etc. etc.
This is gender in action. Not nature, but socialization.
That last comment especially 👏🏻👏🏻
As a female architect I approve this message.
I loved LEGO when I was little, and it was an activity I enjoyed with both my sister and my two brothers. It galls me how the brand was marketed so heavily to boys in the 80s and 90s, because now those kids are adults and remember it as ‘something for boys’ and keep it away from their girls. Marketing can do damage for *generations*, not just in the immediate short term.
GENDER IN ACTION what a great fucking way of putting it
I was just thinking about this post/ad the other day. I’ve reblogged it before, and there’s a version that links to an interview with the little girl in the picture about her memories of the photo shoot. It’s all very girl-positive and how gendering toys is terrible, and for the most part, I agree. There’s no such thing as boys’ toys and girls’ toys. Or there shouldn’t be.
The thing that occurred to me about this ad, though - it’s not really breaking any gender barriers. The little girl in the picture? She’s dressed like a boy. She’s not wearing pink. Her hair’s not in ringlets. She hasn’t built what could obviously be called a princess castle. If you looked fast, you’d probably think she was a boy (until you noticed the braids).
So yeah, maybe this ad is saying, “Hey, girls can play with Lego too!” Except, not really. Because what it’s actually saying is, “Hey, girls who are actually tomboys can play with Lego too!”
I’m just saying - I think it would have been way more powerful if you’d had a girl in pink and ruffles and ringlets building space ships and skyscrapers and King Arthur’s castle. That it’s possible to be both girly - and want to do those things. This ad? Ain’t showing that.
Okay, so the thing i’m having a problem with here is that this little girl is NOT dressed like a boy, she’s dressed like a little girl at play in 1981.
Girls’ clothes in 1981 were not limited to various shades of pink and purple but ran the full spectrum of colors. They were also expected to stand up to the wear and tear of regular play (which in 1981 meant running around outdoors). Ruffles and the like existed but those clothes were fancy, meant for occasions or events like church and holidays, not everyday wear.
For example, here is a photo of my brother and i in 1983 wearing our everyday clothes
I am five years old here. At this time, my room was painted pink, i had what i called my princess dress, and my Barbie was the one that came with an all-pink wardrobe. At that time in my life i was absolutely NOT considered a tomboy; i was a typical little girl.
To your modern eyes, inundated with the sharply gendered clothing of today, the girl in the ad didn’t even read as a girl whereas in 1981, she did. And i’m wondering who is in the more constrictive box, girls then or girls now?
Also i saw these from the same campaign and they are adorable!
How terrible is it to know that as a society we’ve probably gotten worse with pushing gender norms on kids instead of better.
When I was in uni in one of my soc classes we read an excerpt from The Beauty Myth which talked about this, how when women started gaining more political/social/financial power in society the patriarchal started lashing back by buckling down on beauty standards and enforcing femininity. Beauty standards and the expectation for girls and women to be feminine has definitely gotten worse the past few decades as direct retaliation against women and girls for gaining more power, it’s a way to keep women and girls in “their place” in one way while they’re reaching for progress in other areas. If you’re interested in learning more about this phenomenon, I suggest giving The Beauty Myth a read
Just here to say I was in kindergarten in 1992, and dressed very much like this. Some of my clothes were pretty wild in terms of patterns and colors–it was the 90s, even kids’ clothes looked like a bad acid trip–but jeans and tee-shirts were entirely the norm. I was considered weird because I preferred skirts, and my grandma actually had to make my skirts–you just couldn’t find them in the girls’ section.
I teach middle school, and have seen sexualization of kids' clothing wax and wane. There was a period, circa 2000, that was the WORST: we took kids on a field trip, and one girl had a micro-skirt on, and the wind blew it up, and she was wearing no underwear. (This was a Britney Spears/Paris Hilton "style" girls were imitatinng.)
Typically, now, girls are wearing their hair in ponytails, with jeans and sweatshirts and Vans. Very gender neutral. Much like it was in these vintage Lego ads.
WARNING!!!!
People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.
Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.
I’ve gotten a few of these. Never ever click a link from an unknown number!!!
oh yeahhhh, I saw that on snapchat. it’s been freakin’ EVERYWHERE lately. i haven’t been getting the text, luckily, but im still extremely cautious about it. shit’s scary.
not just girls, but boys and other genders have to be careful as well. this could happen to anyone. please be safe, my friends <3
FOR ALL THE YOUNGER PEOPLE THAT FOLLOW. YOU GUYS ARE SMART. YOU KNOW THIS. BUT JUST IN CASE THERE ARE SOME WHO MIGHT NOT. THAT DOESN’T MAKE YOU NOT SMART, PERHAPS JUST LESS INFORMED.
DO NOT CLICK LINKS IN TEXTS EVER. GO TO ACTUAL WEBSITES FOR ONES YOU RECOGNIZE AND TYPE IN THE URL. OR A BOOKMARK IF YOU HAVE ONE. DON’T CLICK LINKS IN TEXTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA MESSAGES/DMS AND EMAILS. EVEN IF YOU KNOW THE PERSON. TAKE EXTREME CAUTION.

If you’re American will you reblog this with where you grew up and wether or not they had sixth grade camp. I grew up in southern California and every class in sixth grade would take a field trip and go to a camp for a week and this is absolutely bewildering my wife cause she’s never heard of sixth grade camp
Connecticut; we did it in 5th grade. Camp Jewel. It was an awesome week.
New Jersey, yes, but it was only three days, and by the time my sister got to middle school they’d stopped doing it
We did! We went to Hartley Nature Center for a long weekend
StLouis MO area, yes 6th gr. camp, was in 79/80 I believe… not sure if it’s still done?
Seattle-area and yes, my school district sent all 6th graders to Camp Waskowitz for a week (built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935). I went in fall 1983.
My school was still doing it until about 5 or 10 years ago. Pain in the neck for the district, with liability laws the way they are now. Also hard to justify how it "improves test scores" for the district. (::Sigh::)
hitch your heart to one small thing
reminds me of this!
Yes, yes, yes!!
Sometimes, my favorite musical artists move from writing about the tiny - this one girl with the sock that keeps falling down - and try to write about LOVE instead.
I HATE those songs that try to speak to really big themes. Boring. Lectury. Bleah.
Hugo Simberg, The Garden of Death, 1896.
Every time I see this I always wonder what the painter’s intended message was. It looks so pleasant, that middle skeleton looks so happy with its work.
Maybe it’s supposed to be a memento mori, but a comforting and encouraging one.
This is one of the most famous paintings in Finland. There are multiple interpretations of it but they all share the same base idea:
“According to Simberg, the flowers represent people’s souls, the skeletons are aids to Death, and the Garden of Death is a purgatory of sorts for souls waiting for entrance into heaven. This artwork invites the viewer to consider the afterlife, to take comfort in his or her own passing, and to not fear what happens after the body fails to function.”
“It depicts Simberg’s thoughts on afterlife, which is not run by angels but skeletons who take care of the heavenly garden with a gentle hand, while waiting for more “gardeners” to arrive. It is derived from the medieval belief that the dead sleep in a blooming garden.”
“In Simberg’s garden the humble Death-like figures struggle against harsh conditions; the landscape around the garden has burnt yellow, it is dry and barren. The cherished flowers grow in exotic shapes, slowly, requiring constant care. The black-clad figures love their nurslings. The garden is a place where Death is allowed to realize its feelings of affection. The Garden of Death can be seen depicting the impossibility of this love; maybe the flowers are tender and fragile because they can not handle the love of Death. Love has two faces: one of them is the face of devastation.”
Out of all the comments I’ve posted on this site this is my favourite. The notes are just full of people showing pure love to the Finnish Skeleton Gardeners.
WHAT EVEN IS THE TOWEL THOUGH!?
Oh, yes... took me maybe 3 tries and I gave up. Now I get a cart if I'm literally only buying milk.
Side note: a shopping cart serves as a protective barrier against close physical contact with other shoppers and store clerks.
