man i HAVE to assume toby is a pet or a baby of some description

text: Toby, NO PISSING!

hi! i am the toby in question. I am an adult man*. this is a quote that came out of a camping trip w/ very very dear friends whom i love very much, where condensation was real bad in our tent and my partner (not the requester) defamed me at top volume at 6 in the morning saying the condensation was piss. the camping trip lasted 3 days and I heard this nonstop for two of them. somehow we are planning another camping trip this year. good times

theshitpostcalligrapher

honestly that sounds like an incredible time can i come with? your friends sound hilarious

lil-darkling

I am one of said friends and i just want to add that we also still say this on a weekly basis.

We also just say anything with 2 syllables in the same cadence.

Ps I love you too Toby

I'm neurodivergent as well as disabled and "10 minute blocking" has changed my life.

I find completing tasks really challenging because I either get super overwhelmed, distracted, or my pain/fatigue levels rise too much and I get defeated.

So I recently introduced the 10 Minute Block rule. It's super simple. I simply pick one thing I need to do, set a timer usually for 10 mins (+/- 5 mins depending on fatigue/pain levels) and then go go go! And I try and do as much of that one thing as I can within the time limit. The rule is that I have to stop after 10 minutes.

If I feel spurred on after the 10 mins is up, then I'm free to start another 10 minute block (either to carry on with the same task or start a new one) and do this repeatedly for as long as I wish, but I absolutely must stop after each block and assess how my body is doing and finish blocking when my body tells me to.

If I am feeling defeated or tired or whatever after 10 mins, even if the task isn't finished, I stop. I rest, congratulate myself on doing those 10 minutes, and then find something fun/restorative to do instead without feeling guilty.

It's really improved my perception of productivity as well as taught me how to pace my body better.

I don't know if this will be helpful to any of you, but it's something that I wish I'd known about sooner and has helped me so I thought I'd share it.

Reblog if a mutual who's never spoken to you can randomly send you memes that made them think of you.

Bisexuality has always included Trans and Nonbinary people.

#i know a lot of people who use bi to describe themselves as being attracted two or more genders #and actually excluding cis people in that description #it was never meant to exclude trans people #just describe liking more than one

Why is this back on my dash in 2018

Why is this back on my dash in the year of our tormentor 2021?

real tumblr veterans know this isnt even the ORIGINAL crave that mineral post, it’s a repost by the randy your sticks person because the OP of the true original supported child slavery and practiced therapy without a license

butchfagminotaur

just saw a post where someone put “detrans dni” and like… hey we should be supporting detransitioned people bc if we don’t terfs will

butchfagminotaur

sometimes you’re wrong about your identity and that’s ok like i used to think i was bi but it turns out i was wrong and i know ppl who thought they were trans but it turns out they were wrong and it should be ok and accepted that sometimes people don’t get it right on the first try

femininechrist

Making this an all or nothing thing is scary and will make people not wanna explore bc listen, everyone in their life might be ready to jump and say “I knew it! It was all for attention!” Literally don’t do that, oh my god we are a community be kind and compassionate to one another.

enough tumblrina infighting. it’s time to unite against our common enemy: people who randomly clutter up the tags in searches with bite size posts full of every possible irrelevant tag they can think of for attention like this

BOOOOO BOOOO sit DOWN

eternityservedcold

you guys GOTTA start reporting them for spam. im 100% serious, its literally spam under tumblr guidelines

ALT

if we get enough of these posts removed at least a few people will take notice and cut it the hell out

lil-darkling

The funniest thing for me about this hellsite is that influences come here thinking oh I'll do all my normal influence stuff and get followers and likes. Like nah. None of your knowledge will help you here.

movie vs book (i adore them both)

How could you leave this in the notes, excellent addition

madtumbleson

Actually, this makes the childification of Michael in the movie when he’s 15 in the book really funny:

Sophie, a 20-ish year old woman from a fantasy land where getting married at 16 or 17 does not seem to be unusual: Yes, this is a young man who is almost an adult.

Howl, a man in his late 20s from our world: This is a BABY and he does BABY things.

When I was 17 my appendix ruptured because I thought I was just having period cramps and didn’t go to the hospital so don’t tell me PMS symptoms are no big deal

lingering-spirit

this actually happened to me during my math final and i didn’t think anything of it and when i was later admitted to the hospital my math prof was asking me ‘you didn’t have to take the final! why didn’t you tell me it hurt?!?!’ and i told him i’ve had cramps worse.

he gave me 100

This is actually an extremely common occurrence simply because in sex ed they don’t teach you how to tell the difference between menstrual cramps and other more serious pains. The way to tell the difference between cramps and appendicitis is that while menstrual cramps are generalized toward the middle of the stomach below the belly button, pain from a swollen or burst appendix will start in the middle of the stomach and relocate to only the lower right side, even lower than menstrual cramps, and is a very localized pain. It also comes on extremely suddenly and will worsen over time or when you make a sudden movement, like a cough or a sneeze.

Basically, if you’re feeling any sort of pain, even if it’s menstrual cramps, don’t hesitate to tell the school nurse or a parent, or if you’re out of school and home even make a doctor’s appointment. Chances are if your cramps are that bad there’s something they can do to improve that as well.

I am boosting the shit out of that reply, because I am twenty-fucking-five years old and did not know how to tell the two pains apart

teacupdream

Adding another diagnostic tool! This is something we use in the ER called the rebound test. Basically, appendicitis and cramps react differently to certain things. If you’re still not sure if you have cramps or appendicitis, take two fingers and press them into your abdomen where the pain is (try repeating this on the lower right quadrant of the abdomen just to be sure.)

When you press in firmly, it will probably hurt. Here’s the test: LET GO. Does it get better or get worse? Appendicitis will immediately hurt worse when you let go. Cramps will not. Go to the ER if the rebound test makes it worse!

THE REBOUND TEST IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

My husband got sent home from the ER with a rupturing appendix. When he came back and was rushed into surgery, the surgeon was super angry – “Why didn’t anyone do the rebound test?!”

deinde-prandium

All great info, but there is another lesson to be learned here: if you’re in major pain, it’s probably important - so don’t let anyone tell you it’s not. There is a documented pattern of women who go to the ER with complaints of pain being dismissed as overreacting…when in reality women have an incredibly high tolerance for pain, to the point that some don’t even realize exactly how serious their condition is. These stories only serve to illustrate this point.

Every time I see this..

^the women have a high pain tolerance thing…my orthopedic surgeon, the first day I met him laid me down and messed with my shoulder. At this point I had been told by doctors and another orthopedic surgeon I was overreacting and making my pain up…for months. There were days I missed class because I couldn’t get dressed. Anyways, he laid me down and messed with my shoulder. When he was done he helped me sit up, and went and sat down across the room from me. He looked me dead in the eye and said “I just dislocated your shoulder, put it back in, and you didn’t flinch. You needed surgery four months ago.” He was pissed. Seriously, don’t take major pains lightly, in the abdomen or otherwise.
