kinda depressing to realize that $10m would quite literally leave me set up for life, not even counting interest or gains from investments, and yet there are people out there who get that much money in a single week and demand more
My mother grew up within biking distance of Bill Watterson in Ohio and would like everyone to know:
âSnow Goonsâ like this are very real
If anything, Mr. Watterson has toned down the scale and horror of some them.
stuck in the time loop but i just use it as a free day off. im not even trying to get out. i am teaching myself to knit. i am crocheting. i am cooking. not even doing anything crazy. just escaping capitalism for a week. day 375 and im not sure what lesson it's trying to teach but i've taught myself to hand make lace so all is well
i am not my mother and i am not my father but a third worse thing
their daughter
They should invent a type of life where you donât have to work to survive

Thatâs a cute foot fetish you got there, would you mind keeping it 25796323689432 feet away from me?
25796323689432 feet you say?
This post turns 11 next month and it continues to be one of the funniest on this damn site
Happy 11 years to one of the OG funniest viral posts on this site
Americans will measure in anything except the metric system
So apparently this is just this guy's thing
Average american unwilling to measure using metric system factoid actually a statistical error. Measurements Georg who refuses to use metric system on 10,000 posts a month is an outlier and should not have been counted.
This morning, Buckingham Palace staff found Charles III in his bed chambers alive and well. My heart goes out to all the people of Britain who will be suffering due to this senseless tragedy
there's still a week left for the funniest possible thing to happen (charles dying before the coronation) like to charge reblog to cast or whatever
i would log on during the rapture. just to see what u all were up to
âImagine having a child that refuses to hug you or even look you in the eyesâ
Imagine being shamed, as a child, for not showing affection in a way that is unnatural or even painful for you. Imagine being forced, as a child, to show affection in a way that is unnatural or even painful for you. Imagine being told, as a child, that your ways of expressing affection werenât good enough. Imagine being taught, as a child, to associate physical affection with pain and coercion.
As a preschool special ed para, this is very important to me. All my kids have their own ways of showing affection that are just as meaningful to them as a hug or eye contact is to you or me.Â
One gently squeezes my hand between both of his palms as he says âsquish.â I reciprocate. When he looks like heâs feeling sad or lost, I ask if I can squish him, and he will show me where I can squish him. Sometimes itâs almost like a hug, but most of the time, itâs just a hand or an arm I press between my palms. Then he squishes my hand in return, says âsquish,â and moves on. He will come ask for squishes now, when he recognizes that he needs them.
Another boy smiles and sticks his chin out at me, and if heâs really excited, heâll lean his whole body toward me. The first time he finally won a game at circle time, he got so excited he even ran over and bumped chins with me. He now does it when he sees me outside of school too. I stick out my chin to acknowledge him, and he grins and runs over and I lean down for a chin bump.
Yet another child swings my hand really fast. At a time when another child would be seeking a hug, she stands beside me and holds my hand, and swings it back and forth, with a smile if Iâm lucky. The look on her face when I initiate the hand swinging is priceless.
Another one bumps his hip against mine when he walks by in the hallway or on the playground, or when he gets up after Iâm done working with him. No eye contact, no words, but he goes out of his way to âcrashâ into me, and I tell him that itâs good to see him. He now loves to crash into me when Iâm least expecting it. He doesnât want anything, really. Just a bump to say âHi, I appreciate youâre here.â And when heâs upset and we have to take a break, Iâll bump him, ask if he needs to take a walk, and we just go wander for a bit and discuss whateverâs wrong, and heâs practically glued to my side. Then one more bump before we go back into the room to face the problem.
Moral of the story is, alternative affection is just as valid and vitally important as traditional affection. Reciprocating alternative affection is just as valid and vitally important as returning a hug. That is how you build connections with these children.Â
This is so goddamn important.
I verbally express affection. A LOT.
My husband⊠doesnât. I donât know why. For the longest time part of me wondered if it meant he loved me less.
At some point I told him about a thing I had done as a kid. Holding hands, three squeezes means âI Love Youâ.
Suddenly heâs telling me I Love You all the time.
Holding my hand, obviously, but also randomly.
taptaptap
on my hand, my shoulder, my butt, my knee, whatever body part is closest to him, with whatever part of him is closest to me
All the time.
More often than I ever verbally said it.
Itâs an ingrained signal now, I can tap three times on whatever part of him, and get three taps back in his sleep. Apparently I do the same.
Itâs made a huge difference for us.
People say things differently.
This is so sweet and wonderful. There are so many valid ways to show love and affection.

the image in my head of a tornado ripping a house apart while this plays is phenomenal
