My mom likes to tell me about how when I was a little kid riding public transport with her I'd always smile and giggle and chat with weird old ladies who smelled like cat pee and homeless folks and strangers dressed in bizarre outfits but any time a tidy and respectable businessman in a suit and tie waved at me I'd immediately clam up, and she takes a great deal of pride in my supposed inherentability to clock personalities but the truth is I do vaguely remember those bus rides, and it was never about the clothes or the hair or the smell, but more because everyone "strange" asked interesting questions and listened to what I had to say and seemed to think about what I said while the neat and tidy and rigid folks only ever acted like they were going through the motions, which was boring as hell and also pretty annoying

Well-to-do finance manager with tidy shoes: "Why hello, sweetheart. Can you say 'hi'? Aren't you cute. Are you on a trip with your mom?"

4 year old me: why must we do this

Fantastic old woman in the leopard print coat: "Why yes, my tooth IS real silver! Nobody ever asks me that. Do you like cats?"

OMG you guys! I've had this for several days but been sitting on it until the other recipient got theirs but now I can yell about it!

The INCREDIBLY talented and amazing @carcrash429 bound Safe and (the) Sound as a gift for a friend and also sent me a copy!

This is such a stunningly well-made trade bind that honestly, for like half a minute I thought they'd done the typesetting and then had the printing done by a printshop (which, to be clear, would already have been extremely cool)!

BUT NO! Once I looked at it a second time, I realized the whole thing was handmade! (Listen, in my defense, my mail arrives really late and I excitedly opened the package before I even got inside so it was dark!)

I love everything about it, from the font choices to the nautical theme in the accent art to the gorgeous cover and end papers! All the gorgeous art is in there (even the saucy stuff!) and our chapter notes, and it printed so beautifully!

Also I am just crying over the thought that anyone would love a nearly ten-year-old fic enough to want a physical copy!

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for this!!! ❤️❤️🐉❤️❤️

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

the most important thing to me ever is bi kids knowing that it’s ok to be 10% attracted to women and 90% attracted to men or 10% attracted to men and 90% attracted to women and still feeling ok to identify as bi, and still feeling like their identity is valid, and still feeling like they can lead fulfilling lives with both (or other) genders. like that’s just so fricking important.

I’m a bi adult and you know what? I needed this. Thank you.

it’s also important to remember that it can be a fluid % like sometimes it’ll be 50/50 some times 10/90 and then drift into a 45/65 or even 2/98 and it’s still okay. It’s just where you are at that time in your life.

It’s also important for them to know that bisexuality is not binary & never has been. You can be attracted to any gender, & still be bisexual. You can be attracted to someone regardless of their gender & still be bisexual. Oh & being bisexual isn’t about who you date. It’s about who/what you’re attracted to.

“What if poor people abuse the system?”

The system intrinsically abuses poor people.

Hope this helps.

"What if poor people abuse the system?"

Rich people abuse the system far more and out of pure greed, not necessity or desperation so idrc about that

crazy-pages

If a system needs to be abused for poor people to get the help they need, I don't think poor people are the problem.

I love this post so much. “we used to make posts about loki on here” is the gentlest way possible to describe this website’s history. It’s like saying einstein dabbled in science

I know people don't like having the blindingly obvious suggested to them but the following do have to regularly be said to people I know so:

Have you tried turning it off and then on again?

Is it plugged in properly?

What does the manual say?

You can probably Google that

Have you eaten?

I know you remember making the food but did you actually eat it?

Well do it sitting down then

You're probably having a reaction to one of the ingredients, read the label and see if there's anything in there that you recognise

Okay did you actually tell him that? With your mouth? Using words?

The painkillers only work if you take them

Cool had has self-flagellating actually made this work before or?

Yeah okay you 'must remember to' but you remember to NOW so do it NOW

Put it in your fucking calendar

Do you want me to show you how to set up reminders

So use BOTH hands then

... the suggestions of the blindingly obvious will continue until people demonstrate consistently that they don't need it.

did you take your fucking meds

Speaking as a former teacher, people have a way of ignoring the obvious answers, because they're obvious. The mind has a way of going, "a problem this big can't be that simple, there's gotta be more to it."

Which is to say,

did you drink water lately?

“but what if my friend gets offended and hates me and refuses to speak to me after i set a boundary” easy peasy! that is not your friend. hope this helps

Happy pride month specifically to folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum who oftentimes feel isolated and left out of the conversation. You belong here as much as the rest of us and I hope that you are all loved in a way that is comforting to you.
