Y'all know those new fucking instant cameras?

Well, we sell them at the store I work, and guess what my boss told me today, after a client ask for the price? That I told ther the price of the photo cartridge like as if I was trying to scare her away...

What was a supposed to do? Only tell the price of the camera and then have to make a refund when the client finds put the price of the cartridge and no longer wants the camera, like it happened a lot of times when he tried to sell one that way? Yeah, that would work just fine...

me continuing to make terrible posts about my extremely niche interests instead of anything people actually followed me for:

Note: this is not ferret abuse, they really do enjoy being carried like sacks of potatos.

mrs-faggot

As a ferret owner I can confirm that my three ferrets do not give a single fuck about being held like that. A ferret WILL let you know if it doesn’t like how you’re holding it. But they like being turned into potato sacks for some reason.

wolverinequeen

Yeah ferrets get super limp sometimes when you hold them, plus they have a flexible spine and ribs, it doesn’t bother them a bit. They are just loose sacks of meat and kleptomania.

Bachelor in Paradise - 6x13

randomgirlusername-deactivated2

On a serious note. I recently re-came out to my mom that I was bi. The first time I did was years ago and she did not take it well, so I went back in the closet. This time around she apologized profusely for how she handled it the first time. She said she will love me no matter what and she accepts me for who I am.

Do you know what else she said? She said she was watching the Bachelor in Paradise and saw the love these two women had. She thought it was beautiful and she could finally understand that it was no different than the love other couples had.

This is why representation matters. My homophobic mother slowly grew to accept different sexualities over the years because she saw them on TV. The more gay/lesbian couples my mother saw portrayed on TV, the more she realized that it was as normal as all the heterosexual couples. Then, her favorite reality show, showed two women choosing their love for each other and it cemented my mother’s growth and ultimately her acceptance of me.

@randomgirlusername I’m so happy for you, love.

“I will always protect you. I promise”

Star crossed. I really enjoyed drawing this one.

My method of getting kids not to swear at camp was just to appeal to their sense of fairness.

Child: “Fuck!”

Me: “Hey! I’m not allowed to swear in front of you guys. It’s not fair if you swear in front of me, is it?”

Child: “I guess not… sorry…”

Sometimes I’d work with teenagers and facilitate activities like giant swing or zipline, which involve full-body harnesses that get Wildly Uncomfortable in the crotch areas. The younger kids didn’t mind it, but those burdened by more of the wonderful gifts of puberty had some things to complain about.

And complain they would! I think 15 year old boys are contractually obligated to shout “THIS HURTS MY BALLS!” at the top of their lungs every time they’re in a harness. To combat this, I’d warn them about the pain ahead of time and tell them that if they need to come down, I’ll help them down immediately. “However, I don’t get paid enough to listen to teenagers scream about their genitals for an hour. If you have to scream, we’re gonna call them ‘your honor’, okay?”

Teenagers screaming “OH NO! MY HONOR!” while swinging through the canopy? Hilarious.

Who knew one could be nostalgic for this? I sure am.

Seizure First Aid.

Learn it. Share it. Know it. Use it.

king-in-yellow

100% correct medical information on tumblr for once; also consider calling 911 if you don’t know how often the person has seizures and ESPECIALLY if the seizure has lasted 5 minutes or more (which is why the watch is critical)

lukesvalentine-blog1

I have epilepsy so making sure the word is out on how to help people who do have seizures means a lot to me.

A series of images from www.epilepsyfoundation.org titled “Seziure First Aid” with a red cross next to each title. The text on each image shares first aid tips about seizures and are white on a black background, and the bottom of each image has orange text that reads “Join the Fight”. The first aid tips are:

•Keep calm and reassure other people who may be nearby.

•Don’t hold the person down or try to stop his or her movements.

•Time the seizure with your watch.

•Clear the area around the person of anything hard or sharp.

•Put something soft (like a folded sweatshirt) under their head.

•Do not try to force open their mouth with anything hard or your finger!

•Turn the person gently onto one side. This will help keep the airway clear.

•Stay with the person until the seizure has ended naturally.

•Be friendly and reassuring as conciousness returns.

•Offer to call a friend, relative, or taxi to help the person get home if they need assistance.

This is important stuff to know. My father has epilepsy, and so I was informed on what to do when someone at GenCon had a seizure 2 days ago.

thetowersystem

aspects of emotionally abusive parent/child relationships that i still can’t believe they included in tangled:

gothel appearing genuinely sweet and caring at times, enough to possibly even confuse the audience

the mumbling: just having that tiny insignificant little thing be something that gothel consistently, for no discernible reason, gets pissed about

having a special “i love you” exchange: seriously like idk if this is common but i had the same sort of thing with my abusive dad and the first time they said the whole “i love you more” “i love you most” thing i was like holy SHIT

when gothel says “oh great, now i’m the bad guy”: i cannot stress enough that 100% of the time any parent who complains about being the bad guy is abusive

and then later when she’s like “you want me to be the bad guy? fine” as if rapunzel’s making her do all this by not wanting to be locked up forever

when rapunzel tells pascal “shh, don’t let her see you”: why wouldn’t gothel want rapunzel to have a pet?? they never explain that, but they don’t need to, because of course she won’t allow rapunzel to have this harmless thing that makes her happy

rapunzel having an entire sequence where she struggles with finally feeling free and happy and also thinking that makes her a terrible person because her mother wouldn’t like it
