So I found out that the thing I've been indulging for literally as long as I've been forming memories is called immersive daydreaming (the more serious version of which is called maladaptive daydreaming disorder or MADD) and now I've been obsessively stalking communities for it and collecting their memes for the past few days lol
If any of this strikes a chord with you, you might be an immersive daydreamer or have MADD like me!

These dudes are fucking legit. Ā They donāt just show up one day in court, either, they actually make friends with the kids and let them know they have a support system and that there are people in the world who care about them and will always have their back. Ā And less important, but also cool, is that the few times a couple of them have come into my cafe, theyāve been super friendly and polite and when I told one of the guys that I noticed his Bikers Against Child Abuse patch and wanted him to know how awesome I thought he was because of it, he got kind of shy and blushed and said, āThe kids are the awesome ones, we just let them know theyāre allowed to be brave.ā
The source is long, but so, so good. These men and women are available in 36 states, 24 hours a day to stand guard at home, in court, at school, even if the child has a nightmare. Many of them are survivors of childhood abuse as well, and know what itās like to feel scared and alone.
In court that day, the judge asked the boy, āAre you afraid?ā No, the boy said.
Pipes says the judge seemed surprised, and asked, āWhy not?ā
The boy glanced at Pipes and the other bikers sitting in the front row, two more standing on each side of the courtroom door, and told the judge, āBecause my friends are scarier than he is.ā
Actual tears.. hnngh
Show me more of people like this, world. I give up on humans too easily.
where do i sign up for this,i want to be in this gang
This is fucking amazing. It may be out of character for me to say this but rock on
Bikers Against Child Abuse was founded in 1995 by a Native American child psychologist whose ride name is Chief, when he came across a young boy who had been subjected to extreme abuse and was too afraid to leave his house. He called the boy to reach out to him, but the only thing that seemed to interest the child was Chiefās bike. Soon, some 20 bikers went to the boyās neighborhood and were able to draw him out of his house for the first time in weeks.
Chiefās thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. āWhen we tell a child they donāt have to be afraid, they believe us,ā Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. āWhen we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.ā ( Article)
More about BACA, from their site
My parents are a part of this organization and they are metal af
They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once youāre adopted into this family as a BACA kid, youāre always one. Even when youāre 40 and the perp gets released from jail, theyāll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life youāve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, thereās 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the childās testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker.
Whatās better than a badass biker gang being on your side???
NATIVE AMERICAN CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST WHO IS A BIKER AND NAMED HIMSELF CHIEF HELL YES IāM HERE FOR THAT AND BIKERS BEING BAD ASS TO PROTECT KIDS. HELL YEAH.
itās back! I will always reblog BACA
Damn good people.
I know they wouldnāt consider themselves such, but these people are freaking heroes and the world is a better place because of them.Ā
Hey folks, it talks about this in the article but its not mentioned in this post, BACA is a 501 Ā© (3) charity that depends in part on donations to help pay for stuff like gas for their bikes. If you want to help, consider donating.Ā
@copperbadge You like posting about heroes, Sam. Seems like this would be up your alley.
I love these folks! Iāve reblogged them before but itās wonderful to see the donation information has been added.Ā
Always reblog. Keep doing what youāre doing y'all.
Guys? This post changed my life. I saw this post. Forever ago. And thought it was only in americaā¦ and wished desperately that they could help me. But then I saw it again, during a bad episode, and checked their site. They arenāt just in the USA
Theyāre in Canada as well and probably other countries. I met and talked with a native guy who runs the place near me. His name is Shaman. I got in, and Iām considered a BACA child now. Despite being 17, turning 18 when I talked to them. They spent time with me when my abuser was over, they gave me therapy resources. They give you something called aĀ ālevel 1ā² where they go to your house with as many bikers as they can, i shit you not a solid 20-40 bikers came from even out of province, and met me. I got to choose my biker name and I got a vest with patches on it and my name on it. They all hugged a Teddybear before giving it to me, and told me if I ever felt the BACA bear was running out of love, to give them a call and theyād refill it for me, and then I got a ride on one of their bikes. Just a day or so ago I went to an annual party with them and they we ate food one of them cooked and had a lot of laughs.Ā
Iāve never felt as loved as I did being a part of the BACA family. They also gave me dog tags with the names, and phone numbers of my 2 workers.Ā So I can call them whenever I feel scared.Ā
BACA is an absolutely wonderful group that will do everything in itās power to help any child whos been abused.Ā
And it doesnāt end when youāre 18 either. As long as you get in contact/get your level 1 before youāre 18? youāre ALWAYS a BACA kid. Iām 18 now and they still invite me to parties, ask me if Iām okay, and are there for me. Theyāre still trying to find me resources for therapy.Ā
BACA has changed my fucking life.Ā
I hope you all can read this, and reblog it knowing from someone who fucking been with them, that they are absolutely amazing.Ā
If I ever donāt reblog this, itās because I am physically being restrained against my will.
Supporting your local heroās.
FUCKEN AMAZING what these Bikers do!!!! This is why I donāt give up on humanityā¦

Had seen this before, but never realised that this is on an international level - thereās even a contact address close to where I live (in Germany), very cool (though hoping the only use Iāll ever have to make of it is for donations) ā¤
My Papaw is apart of this!
This is incredible!
Daily reminder!
Itās been several days since Iāve gotten back into my one of my devotionals and I had decided to continue the waiting one. What the Lord taught me during that lesson was how our minds can be negatively impacted during the waiting process. This study lifted my spirits because I was going through some of those examples.
Sometimes in life I feel like Iām just āsurvivingā or ādraggingā from one day to the next. What I often forget is that each day is a blessing and it can be used to develop my personal life, which in return can enhance my relationship with Jesus. I pray that God can reignite that desire in my heart to grow closer to Him each and every day.
man its 2020 anything can happen haha hetalia fanart could pop up on your feed wouldnāt that be terrible haha
Iām so in love with this drawing style šš
When I call out antisemitism I'm not virtue signaling and it's really interesting that you say that because it just really shows that you're totally unaware of how the the way of thinking that was in the original post negatively affects the lives of a lot of Jewish people like it's not just a philosophical conversation for us it's it could be life or death and I'm not trying to be dramatic like that's just true
There were two different posts you were on; one was aimed at the Jewish people and one was talking about the Christian faith. Which one are you specifically referring to because the one about the Christian faith isnāt aimed at just the Jews, itās aimed at all non Christians.
So apparently there are a lot of atheists who until recently were unaware that:
A) Christians assert that what we believe (Jesus died and rose again to save us, Jesus is the only way to Heaven, everyone is sinful and needs a savior) is objectively true.
B) Christians want other people to become Christians (because we believe Jesus is the only way to Heaven and we want people to go to Heaven)
So this is my PSA that Christians actually believe what the Bible says is true and we want other people to become Christians.
We often pray for non-Christians to be brought into the Faith. The Bible tells us to pray for non-Christians and to spread the Gospel. None of this is new or some fringe teaching. This is what the Christian Church has taught and practiced since Jesus ascended into Heaven and told us to make disciples of all nations.
Iām also hearing some people simultaneously saying that according to what they believe I and other pro-life/conservative people arenāt going to Heaven because we promote things they disagree with. Youāre free to say that, but at the end of the day we canāt both be right. There is an objective reality, and regardless of what you believe it wonāt change what that reality is.
You donāt have to agree with me or support what I believe. But Iāll still pray for you to be brought to the Faith, because I would love to meet you in Heaven.
Alexa, play āHoes Madā by Famous Dex for the people in the comment section
Itās been a week since that egregious incident took place and I still donāt have the words to explain my thoughts on the situation. What I only have are the emotions that Iāve been struggling to deal. Anger, frustration, sadness, sympathy, and fear, all heightened to the nth degree.
Eight minutes and forty-six seconds
That was how long it took for George Floyd to slowly succumb to an abhorrent death. In my quiet moments my mind goes back to that video. I can still hear his cries for help, I can vividly see the officerās knee pressed down on his neck as the other officers stood idly by; itās just all too surreal. I get angry and frustrated but I eventually break down and cry, it has become a pattern as of recent. As traumatic as it is for me to be reminded of those moments constantly, I can only imagine how difficult it must be for his family to deal with it.
This incident is still very fresh and weāre all going through the motions of it all. As a Black woman I am urging all of you to be more delicate in your approach in dissecting this issue. Itās not easy for all of us to act swiftly and boldly after watching an innocent Black man die in front of our eyes but regardless we shouldnāt be complacent about it either. Find the smallest, but most effective, ways to contribute to the cause. Believe me, your effort will be very much appreciated.

I received an email from Tumblr saying that Iāve had this account for two years now.
Hmm well I guess Iām not as new as I thought, Iāve just been inactive. However nowadays Iāll be on here more often (Iāll try to be).
Dear pro abortionists,
Either you disagree with the science laid out here in order to fool yourself into thinking that youāre not supporting the killings of human fetuses, OR youāre fully aware of that notion and you simply just donāt care.
Have an honest heart to heart with yourself because any other explanation you try to come up with will be contradictory.
You are astrologers
No, Iām interested in astronomy, which is the study of celestial objects and the universe as a whole. Astrology is the study how these celestial bodies have an impact on our lives.
Edit: Iām not into Astrology, I rely on the commands of God.
What would you say to the women who have taken their own lives after being forced to carry an unwanted or even dangerous pregnancy
I would say that society failed them.Ā
If someone is in such a desperate situation that they feel the need to take their own life because of a pregnancy, then there are at least a dozen other factors besides the actual pregnancy that we need to address. Whether itās abuse,Ā social pressure, financial strain, mental health, or whatever the case may be, we need to be meeting womenās needs so they donāt reach that point of choosing suicide because they canāt get an abortion.Ā
Thankfully there are resources to support women in difficult situations, but the problem is most people donāt know about them. Even when you ask pro-lifers where they would send a friend who was pregnant and struggling, they often donāt have an answer.Ā
I would always first try to direct someone in a difficult pregnancy to a local pregnancy center. Iāve taken the time to visit all of the pregnancy centers in my area, and I know their strengths and weaknesses. I know where Iād send someone who most needs personal connection and a support network vs. someone who most needs material resources and affordable healthcare. And thankfully where I live we have about half a dozen pregnancy centers just within city limits, not counting the surrounding suburbs.Ā
It is vital that pro-life people get to know the resources in their area and talk about them often, not just when someone directly asks for help. Itās important that your friends and family members are aware that there is help, and that you are someone who can point them in the right direction if they need the support. And if your friend needs help but is too nervous to ask you directly, but you post about your local pregnancy center all the time, she might just go straight there without actually talking to you. You mightĀ help people and never know it!
For someone who doesnāt have a good pregnancy center in their area or feels that the resources available to them arenāt enough, I recommend LoveLine. If youāre experiencing a crisis pregnancy OR youāre struggling to support your born child(ren), they can help. Theyāll assign you a mentor who will be there for you any time you need them, and theyāll help you find resources you didnāt know about OR reach out to charities/churches/etc that can help. Basically, they got you.Ā
Suicide rates donāt justify abortion. They show us how much work we have to do to meet the needs of women in crisis.
And this is why primary care is important!
Last night I was able to catch a blurry but visible picture of the moon and one of the planets (either Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn).
The Lord calls on us to repent from sin and turn to Him, but at times we donāt adhere to those instructions including myself.
I discovered this issue not too long ago and it put into perspective that no matter how close we are to God, we will always fall off the wagon. But whatās so great about our Lord is that He gives us numerous chances to get back up and continue following in His footsteps; all we have to do is to be willing to turn from sin and ask for His forgiveness.
I was reading a daily devotion in the story section on the home page of the Bible App; I read about Davidās fall from grace when he committed adultery and murder in the same situation. He didnāt continue in sin nor did he allow it to deem himself as unworthy, instead he confessed his sins and turned to God for forgiveness. This is something I need to work on because I have this toxic independent mindset that I can do everything by myself. Not only does this make me look arrogant but it implies that my efforts are enough to cleanse my sins.
If any of yāall are struggling with this, jot down this prayer and use it to express your struggles with God:
āLord, I confess that I have sinned against You. And I now see how terrible my sin really is. Please help me to turn away from my sin and towards You. Please help me to surrender my entire life to You. Amen.ā
Have a wonderful and blessed Sunday!

Friendly reminder the the Bible is full of men crying, including Jesus, and that there is no biblical precedent for the idea that itās unmasculine to express your emotions.
While no one, that Iāve came across at least, used the Bible to prove that men shouldnāt cry, it still has become a cultural issue nonetheless.
Gentlemen, itās okay to cry every now and then, thatās a part of being human. Emotions are natural!
