an LGBTQ coffee shop called lesBean

[chillinginmyonesie-deactivated2]

Or a regular fucking coffee shop because that would be discrimination.

[periegesisvoid-deactivated]

chill bro it’s a fucking pun

[bunnyomega]

Cishets want to be oppressed so bad.

[gaiawithani]

YOU DO NOT FIGHT DISCRIMINATION WITH MORE DISCRIMINATION WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU HATEFUL PEOPLE

[literallyaflame]

“haha it would be funny if there was an lgbt coffee shop called lesBean, get it, because coffee is made of beans and lesbians are made of gay,” said the blogger, as a joke

“DISCRIMINATION,” cry the hoards of contrary tumblr users, eager to express their violent disagreement with this harmless pun. everyone who’s ever been to a gay bar, pride event, or lgbtq organization frowns in confusion; it’s not like they prohibit straight people from entering. anyone can go to these places, they are just lgbtq-centric.

“DISCRIMINATION AT ITS FINEST, THIS IS PURE HATRED,” cry the masses, who have no idea what the word ‘discrimination’ means. roughly five million bees are stuffed inside their assholes. tragic.

Controversial opinion, apparently: Don’t hit children.

[blogdeactivivvvated-deactivated]

It teaches them to obey out of fear, instead of for good behavior’s sake.

Even then, it has mixed results and often makes defiant children.

It causes long-lasting psychological issues that follow them to adulthood.

It ruins your relationship with that child because they will not trust you.

[airagorncharda]

A handy chart:

[mechandra]

hot take: spanking counts as hitting your child

[rojo-todd]

“and I turned out fine” isn’t an excuse nor reasoning. If you think it’s cool to hit kids, you didn’t turn out fine.

[just-shower-thoughts]

Saying “You guys look really similar” to two people will simultaneously boost someone’s self confidence and lower someone’s self confidence.

[ineffectualdemon]

How to determine if a kids injury is serious or not

offer them “medicinal chocolate” if they stop crying it’s fine if they carry on crying/refuse the chocolate then it’s serious

[nonbinaryparent]

From age two apparently^^

[shirleycarlton]

Oh wow I never heard this one.

[official-90er-kind]

German edition: offer the kid to blow away the pain. If it’s better afterwards it’s okay, if they refuse or still screaming it’s serious

[having-conniptions]

Also a lot healthier than giving your kid chocolate everytime they cry tbh

[ineffectualdemon]

It’s not everytime they cry it’s only if they get injured and you’re unsure if it’s serious because they are screaming but you can’t tell if they are overreacting or not

For things that are clearly a minor bump we give kisses instead

[ineffectualdemon]

And before anyone thinks if a kid is screaming it’s not an over reaction

My kid fell off their bike and skinned their knee. Just skinned it that’s all and they went into full on scream/crying hysterical because it was bleeding and they hadn’t had an injury where they bled within their memory

It wasn’t so much the pain as the blood that made them hysterical.

In that case we could see it wasn’t serious but the chocolate helped them calm down and then I got them to tell me about Terraria until they were calm and their wound was dressed

It was absolutely an overreaction to a skinned knee but it was also an understandable one

Kids don’t have experience or pain tolerance we do and sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s something that requires a trip to the hospital or not

[lickmetilllicecreammmm]

Kids don’t have experience or pain tolerance we do

This is important….we’ve had 20+ years of injuries and can compare some pain to other pains and be like this doesn’t hurt nearly as much as this other thing that happened. Pain is an experience that’s new to kids, especially little ones. Some overreactions are to be expected

[jessica-problems]

There is a good chance that whatever just happened is literally the worst thing that has ever happened to them

[tosety]

This also applies to emotional pain.

They have not had the experiences that build emotional resilience yet, so it’s only normal that they will have a hard time with things we consider to be trivial. They may be trivial to us, but, as with physical pain “Whatever just happened is literally the worst thing that has ever happened to them”

[thingsididntknowwereerotic]

It’s hard to be a kid. Be gentle with their tender selves. They grow up nicer that way.

[1dietcokeinacan]

I hate when u say “deja vu” out loud n someone ur with goes “what was it?” Like bitch we all can barely communicate the most straightforward ideas without utter confusion and chaos…..u rly believe it is within my capacity to explain exactly what fleeting moment of temporal embodiment made me feel like a vague reincarnated ghost girl trapped in a child’s dream??? Surely u are mistaken.

read in 2018 📖 The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo

“Magic doesn’t require beauty,’ she said. ‘Easy magic is pretty. Great magic asks that you trouble the waters. It requires a disruption, something new.”  

[lbardugo-deactivated20210617]

Trouble the waters.
