Through the Curtains of the Waterfall

Hannah, she/her, 23 year old grad student, no idea what the fuck I am doing

[pugglesmuggler]

this might be the only place I can say this without stealing my precious sisters precious thunder but I found out last night that I’m graduating from one of the top social work masters programs in the country with a great 3.86 GPA and almost straight A’s my entire time in grad school and if you knew me in undergrad or if you know what my life has been looking like the past two years you’ll know that that’s a real fucking accomplishment and goddamnit I’m proud of myself for that

[beachdeath]

remember the time i pitched a longform piece to buzzfeed and the editor was like, “this sure is an interesting idea, how about you write this entire 12,000-word article on spec and then i’ll take a look at it and see if i like it enough to publish it and pay you for it” and i was like, “no, i want some assurance that you will publish my work and pay me for my labour before i spend several months researching and reporting and writing this piece, that is standard in this industry,” and she never replied to me, and i eventually pitched it to another publication with a fraction of buzzfeed’s budget and got paid literally thousands of dollars. bc i think about that a lot.

[sandbirde]

it’s almost like buzzfeed isn’t real journalism

[beachdeath]

no, buzzfeed is real journalism, buzzfeed’s news team won a pulitzer, it’s just that buzzfeed’s management is made up of grifters and their greed has penetrated every level of the publication! effed up!

Toddlers are so pure. She doesn’t understand that we help her with certain things because she’s little. She thinks that everyone just helps each other like that. So she tries to blow on my food and cut it up for me and tries to help me put on my shoes.

i was giving little wagon rides to a baby around the backyard one day and all of a sudden she hops off and slaps the seat of the wagon telling me to get on because it was my turn and i was like no it’s ok im too heavy and she was like NO ITS UR TURN and kept tugging on my hand so i would sit down. eventually i got on and it was just a little 2 year old trying so hard to push me around on a wagon not understanding why it wouldn’t budge but still so determined to let me have my turn lol

[llywela13]

I don’t think I’d realised how many casual compliments we pay to our toddler until she started casually complimenting us back, because experience has taught her that’s How Social Interaction Is Done, and there’s nothing quite like a very earnest three-year-old solemnly and sincerely informing you that you look wonderful and smell nice to make you feel really good about yourself

I tell her she’s my best girl. She tells me I’m her best auntie. Then we both feel good about the world!

I love when my toddler asks me to help her with her toy or something and she is all “good job, mama! Great work!” And encouraging because that’s what you do!

Sometimes the help you need isn’t the help you want. Call 1-800-273-8255 if you’re thinking of suicide.

[ube-makaveli]

This comic meant a whole lot to me. It was sincere in its depiction and treated the issue through the eyes of a grounded person. Not some godly hero saying everything is better than it seems, but a person trying his best before bringing her somewhere who can actually help.

This guy came forJameela and she fucking wrecked him oh my god

[homewreckerhowell]

Voting to ‘hurt’ people is sick.

[spiroandthelacktones]

Also notice how fucked up the “he isn’t hurting the people he’s supposed to be hurting” mentality is, like it’s admitting you voted for him cause you thought he would be hurting people just the ones you don’t like

[weepycat]

we’ve started feeding this tortoiseshell-point siamese recently. she’s beautiful, aside from the fact she has disturbingly big, bulging blue eyes. we’ve started calling her… ‘goop’

[weepycat]

it’s goop!

[weepycat]

GUESS WHO HAD GOOPLETS! SIX ENTIRE BABIES! mama goop held onto her gooplings for an entire week longer than she had to, so the gooplitos came out very well done and fluffy!!

[weepycat]

update: 10 weeks later… i have taken two of the gooplets for myself… sweet link and hella zelda are inseparable. as for the other four (trixie, dobby, poppy, and marigold), my mom is going to fix them & keep em as barn cats!

“Arundhati Roy: ‘The thing is, people spend so much time mocking Trump or waiting for him to be impeached. And the danger with that kind of obsession with a single person is that you don’t see the system that produced him.’”

my eyes have been streaming blood since i saw this quote last night

[tami-taylors-hair]

Imagine saying this without a hint of irony. Imagine being that dense and evil.
