awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[villainessbian]

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

[shrodingers-catgirl]

HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

We’re almost 258,000 notes short of the Committment To The Bit Tumblr Curse goal, or what I am choosing to call:

The Bear Nessiecity

You know what to do.

[boybeetles]

You go into trans ageplay spaces and everyone wants to be the little. Like okay I get we all have mommy/daddy issues but someone has to be the parent here.

[boybeetles]

Honestly going into these spaces has really made me understand why every trans mommy has like 10 girls/boys. The ratio of caregivers and littles is like 1:20

[theboost]

Why don’t we let the guy whose every plan could be reasonably construed as an abstract suicide attempt take a crack at it

[larchcoin]

what a day!!!!!!!! nothing happened and i was tired

[boybeetles]

As it gets warmer I start to wish more and more that public nudity was acceptable because I keep getting sweat rash

[boybeetles]

Or I atleast wish bare breasts were allowed . Underboob sweat rash is the worst but I’m the only one in the family who has time to do the yardwork so I’m stuck outside

[slimegargoyle]

in the beginning, the trump assassination attempts were spaced by twenty four weeks. then twelve, then six, then every two weeks. the last one, at the white house, was a week. in four days we could be seeing a trump assassination attempt every eight hours until they are coming every four minutes. we should witness a double event within seven days,

The more I get back into doing creative stuff the more I understand that one Fujimoto quote

[malpensante]

[letatlin]

for anyone wondering about the second quote:

[otherwindow]

why is it always a male character going mad avenging his dead wife and never a female character cradling her dying pure of heart husband in her arms then dragging the whole world down with her

First of all, this is a very clever use of this gif. Secondly, fuck you.

[demilypyro]

personally, i get much more out of the idea that i am still worth something despite being fundamentally broken, than i get from being told that i'm "not" broken or that i can "stop" being broken. i already know what i am, and i know that what i am isn't going to change. when someone tries to argue otherwise i just know they're not interested in who i am. they only care about some imagined better version of me they have in their head.

No More Crying Babies Left Alone — Denmark Says Goodbye to “Cry It Out”

Denmark officially ends the controversial “Cry It Out” method for babies, promoting gentle, responsive parenting. Learn how this change supp

For this week's Off Topic Tuesday: Denmark has officially stopped recommending the "Cry It Out" method to parents, and personally I'm hoping more countries follow suit.

There's more information in the article, but essentially the "Cry It Out" method just means parents (or caregivers) ignore their baby's cries until the baby stops on their own, and this is supposed to help babies learn how to sleep through the night without disturbing their parents. The "Cry It Out" method has been recommended in several western countries at least for several decades, in some places starting in the late 19th century.

However, more and more research is coming out that the "Cry It Out" method is actually very damaging to a baby's sense of safety and security, both in their environment and their caregivers. Using the "Cry It Out" method is more and more showing to cause lifelong psychological disturbances without any actual benefits (besides maybe convenience for caregivers).

Just intuitively, the idea that you can spoil or coddle an infant by answering their cries "too much" just feels ridiculous. No wonder so many kids and teens don't feel safe going to their parents for support or comfort when something is wrong.

Additionally, maybe this is a stretch on my part, but I wonder if there's a connection between this and how many people grow up to be completely callous to the suffering of others. How can you develop a healthy sense of compassion for the cries and suffering of another human being when your own cries went ignored since you were an infant?

[ravendognerd]

I'm glad there's official articles about it now. I know I read... something about it when I was pregnant with my first kid. It was more along the lines of how the studies (reference???) show that if you respond quickly to your babies when they cry that actually cry less in the long run because they trust you to come help them. It also helps them settle faster when they are upset when you come to them and just in general leads to a better parent/child bond.

My oldest hardly ever cries now and if they do, they stop quickly with a hug and a kiss on wherever it hurts. If they can't stop crying that means something is more seriously wrong and they probably need to see a doctor.
