Chimaera’s 😇

Ahhh!!! I’m literally OBSESSED with Chimaera’s!!! I just did an info dump about the deep sea (on Instagram), but I want to do one about Chimaera’s now 😭 Like why are they so interesting and pretty??? I’ve been overly exited about a shark and the deep sea for the past 3 hours y’all 💀

This edit made me want to watch Banana Fish, but at the same time, I know I’m going to cry because I almost cried after watching this edit 😭

I don’t want to go to school right now. That racist dude rides the bus around this time, and I really don’t want to cross paths with him.

Tips That Can Save Your Kid’s Life.

[hiddlesherethereeverywhere]

THIS IS IMPORTANT 

When I was a child, from the time I was about four and could understand things, my mom told me and my brother that we should have a secret word. That way, if we were ever in trouble or felt unsafe and we didn’t want the people around us to know we needed her to come get us, we could let her know. So she let us pick the word and my brother and I chose the phrase “peanut butter cups.” (I’m happy to share the phrase now since both my brother and I are adults now). 

I used the phrase twice in my life. Once, I was at a friends house when I eight years old. Her dad got really drunk and was throwing things against the wall. I was really scared and I didn’t want to draw attention to myself on the phone when I called my mom to come get me because I didn’t know if he would get more violent if I asked her to come get me. So I called her and was calm and after a couple minutes I asked “Hey mommy, did you get me those peanut butter cups from the store?” And she said “I’ll be right there.” And she came and got me within minutes. 

Second, I was a teenager spending the night at a friends house. Her brother and dad were drinking and they started talking about things that made me uncomfortable - ie: what they liked to do to women. My friend didn’t seem perturbed and said that was normal for them and that I shouldn’t worry. But I was worried because they were really drunk and I was 15 and the only ‘woman’ around that wasn’t related to them. I went in my friends room, told her I needed to call my mom and say goodnight. Before I hung up with her I asked “Next time we go to the store, can we get some peanut butters cups? I’ve been craving them.” And she came and got me, just like that. 

Two incidents, one as a young child, one years later as a teen. Don’t discredit this stuff, it fucking works. My brother used it a few times too. Let your child pick the word and no never, ever, ever, ever get mad at them for using it no matter what it is.

DO NOT SCROLL PAST THAT.

[honeybeehusky-blog]

Off topic, but very important! I was taught to yell “this is not my mom/dad.” A young kid freaking out in public is likely to be ignored out of embarrassment, but a kid telling you right out that they don’t know who is messing with them? That will turn heads.

SIGNAL BOOST

[wuh2k]

90% of all child molesters are members of the family, close family friends, or an adult in a trusted position of authority. All of this is important but one more thing:

Never instil an unwavering “respect for their elders” in your child, and never chastise them for “tattling” on or feeling uncomfortable around an older relative/family friend/teacher .etc.

[real2376]

To add to what a lot of other people have said. I saw a video of a guy allowing his children to swear. Everyone questioned his parenting abilities because it’s kind of odd for a parent to let their young kids swear in our society. He ended out making a video talking about how he taught his kids to swear in the event of them being in danger. He explained that if someone hears their kids swearing and screaming they’re definitely going turn their heads and try to help. “SOMEONE FUCKING HELP ME I DON’T KNOW THIS MOTHERFUCKER!!!” If I heard something like this I would definitely come running, so teach your kids ALL manners are thrown out the window.

OCD culture is having one or more bfrbs but nobody knowing what they mean so you have to explain it like "I tear my skin off" and then you sound really weird

“you’re just racist”

[bitegore]

Transcript: a tiktok of a white person with brown hair speaking to the camera. They are in what looks to be a basement and are walking around while they speak.

“My grandfather immigrated to America with his wife and four kids looking for a better future. And nobody has ever told us to go back to our country, or adapt to the culture, or start speaking like everybody else. My mom had two kids here and nobody has ever accused her of using us to stay in the States, get citizenship, accused us of stealing resources, or taking jobs. Which all of us have! In fact, when I tell people I’m a first generation American, they think it’s really cool. My uncle was deported for running a drug ring! Yet none of us have gotten any shit about it. We’ve never been called criminals. Or dangerous. In fact, the only thing people say when they notice my mom’s accent is ‘oh that’s so cool, where are you from?’”

A picture of the speaker’s mother, a white woman with long blonde hair, is shown in the background.

The speaker puts on a British accent, and says, “And that’s because she looks like that, and she sounds like this. You’ve got nothing against immigrants. You’re just racist.”

I’m done with myself 💀

Y’all 😭 I’ve rewatched my favorite show (Futurama) so many times like upwards of 30 times and maybe much more. And... like I suck at reading facial expressions and tone, but I’m ok with cartoons because its just 🙂😐🙁 and l was watching Futurama last night and I didn’t realize this girl was lying 😭 I’ve seen that same scene like 15 times 🙃 Like she literally winked!!! Why did I translate this 😉 as this 🙂? Why did that fly over my head??? Bro I hate myself. What’s wrong with me! 💀 /lh

i think tumblr should have an @everyone feature. this would solve nothing and make everything worse

[real2376]

It cracks me up how everyone on this app has collectively decided that this is where we shall reside, but at the same time, we all want this hell site to burn in the funniest way possible 💀

[real2376]

I’ve been planning something all night and I can’t wait to do it :)

[wizardpotions]

I honestly think that the reason that twitter and tik tok think that tumblr is dead is that it does not have an algorythym that spoon feeds you content in the same way, there's no fyp and there's no news feed in the same way and people come here not realising they actually have to follow creators to see content.

[theprideful-deactivated20251201]

deducting points for submitting late work is some of the most classist, ableist capitalist bullshit ive seen and teachers who do it are the fucking worst

[we-will-all-be-stories]

Especially when they make you go through all these different loops to get accommodations for extended time (504/iep) and the teachers just straight up ignore it

[theprideful-deactivated20251201]

this literally just happened to me. i got my accommodations approved and everything after weeks of trying, only for my spanish professor to say that she can’t give me extra time for my assignments (as mandated in my fucking disability accommodations) or else i’m just “not trying” and “not really learning spanish”. so suffice to say i’ll never be taking another language course in college

[theprideful-deactivated20251201]

i’ve literally never seen you before and i’m fairly certain i’ve never called you out, but since you mentioned it, i’ll go ahead and address your comments.

this was the first comment you left (which i just now saw btw). the problem with your stance is that even if deductions are in place for students who “don’t care,” if still affects the disabled students who do. and i don’t care how well you think you can “clock” disabilities, but a lot of the time, disabled and neurodivergent students can look like students who don’t care, and you can’t tell the difference. saying that you’re only going to punish the kids you think deserve it is not a foolproof system, and it really will harm more disabled kids than anything.

and the thing you said about being more open and communicating: idk if this is news to you, but a lot of disabilities affect students’ ability to keep up those communications. i know it certainly does for me. saying that they “just need to learn to do it” implies that their disability is something that can be fixed, which, intentionally or not, qualifies as ableism. “it’s a basic employable skill” don’t forget that a lot of disabled people are unemployed, partially because of employers refusing to acknowledge disabilities and accommodate. in fact, in developing countries, 80% to 90% of people with disabilities of working age are unemployed, and in industrialized countries the figure is between 50% and 70%.

i’m glad your state has credit recovery. my school doesn’t offer that as far as i’m aware. your experiences are not universal and acting like every disabled student everywhere is going to have the same opportunities that you don’t even have to worry about shows me how much abled privilege you have. i can see it in every sentence you wrote, particularly in “the percentage of students who purposefully do nothing the entire grading period because they can do credit recovery and pull out with a C is staggering”. placing the blame on students who are likely struggling with something in and outside of school is fucked up, especially when you consider that most of these students probably aren’t doing it “purposefully” and are actually likely just (undiagnosed) disabled or neurodivergent.

and by the way, no one wants a C. people want to succeed and do well. i definitely do, but i can’t because of asshole professors who won’t listen to anything i have to say and think that their NT narrative must be universal. and the fact that you shut down and switched into defensive mode and refused to listen to what us disableds are saying instead of considering how you can make your class more accessible and welcoming to students makes me think that you haven’t been in my shoes, or else you’d give a fuck about our struggles instead of parroting a tone-deaf, half-baked opinion from every other abled neurotypical on this planet. i hope this clears some things up and you can educate yourself, for the sake of your students.

and for the record, my chemistry professor has over 800 students and still manages to accommodate all of us.

[real2376]

Bro I hate it when teachers refuse to give accommodations! My old English teacher refused to give me any accommodations despite claiming to be “educated on all topics”. She said I needed proof for my needs and since I’m not ND or anything I had to struggle. It annoys me that people were backing her up on that, but whatever. I literally work so slow and I can’t pick up the pace and sometimes when I can pick up the pace I get these brainaches (nothing like headaches and I understand the content perfectly fine), and it's always been like this. The teacher basically kept pushing me and pushing me 9-10th grade in hopes of “fixing” my “problem”. The principal offered me accommodations for tests and I said yes, but she told him I didn’t need any so they didn’t give me any :/ Maybe thinking it would enable me??? She would time everything according to what she saw as an acceptable amount of time, and she knew I worked too slow to meet these times so I would basically fail or barely pass all of her quizzes at her hands. During quizzes, tests, and exams she would intensely stare me down which made me extremely nervous making me distracted, and that made me take longer to finish her work. She even used “scare tactics” to try to motivate me to work faster. I think she really wants to understand why I function so slow but she just doesn’t. When she realized she couldn’t “fix” after months of her pushing me and after I failed the mock district exam she made a meeting with the principal, instructional coach, and herself to basically address my slow pace (most of it was due to the fact that she felt like I was ruining her academic reputation as a “poor performing” student and because me failing the exam would take a bite out of her paycheck. But there was visible annoyance with me being slow-paced. I don’t think she realized that if she gave me accommodations she wouldn’t have to worry about any of that). They all reassured me that they would help me, but no one ever did. She would often treat me as a problem that needed to be solved, and according to her I was “Just slow.” (Like literally slow-paced.) Sorry for the long rant 💀

No seriously, these are simply ND versions of love languages of (in order) talking, shared activities, service, touch, and gift giving.

[captaindibbzy]

Words, time, service, touch, gifts.

I love when people talk about love languages they always come back to the actual love languages without realising it.

[tesria]

I feel like people here have missed a lot of details about love languages.

Gift giving, acts of service and physical touch ok sure, though the neurodivergent versions aren’t really how these would play out for neurotypicals (which isn’t bad, I only note this because ND people might also want the more typical versions, and because recognising that a broad universal need manifests differently in ND people is kind of key to understanding a lot about neurodivergence).

But “words of affirmation” is not the same as “talking about stuff”. “Quality time” is arguably the opposite of “just being in a room together”. The point of quality time is interaction and paying attention to each other; two people sharing a space is nice, it’s comfortable, but Quality Time is about investing time in talking to each other or sharing an activity.

Infodumping and Parallel Play are excellent, and wonderful, but they are not traditional “love languages.” Saying they are undermines both understanding of the original concept, and understanding of ND people and their needs.

[real2376]

ND versions of love languages are definitely not the same nor are they treated the same 🙅🏿‍♂️ I’m not ND, but I do enjoy parallel play which is something a lot of people treat as something inherently weird or bad. My mom and dad frequently get upset when I just want to sit in silence with them in a room and do my own thing without interacting with them. I’m hardly affectionate as well, so they think that I don’t care for them/love them and will nag at me and rant about me to other people. If people acknowledged ND needs as much as they did with NTs then I would have a better relationship with my parents or honestly a lot of people in general. Plus, I would feel so much more comfortable if I didn’t always feel this overwhelming pressure to talk/perform for everybody without them thinking I’m upset over me not doing anything. Also, broaden your understanding not only for my sake but for NDs sake ^.^
