All the flavor, none of the bigotry!

Side note: I always knew that chicken tasted vaguely of pickles.

[tehjai]

Also you can recreate Chick-fil-A sauce, too:

¼ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon yellow mustard

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (optional)

2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 tablespoons BBQ sauce

SO MUCH THIS!!

When helping kids learn from their mistakes and correcting past behavior, it’s important for parents and other role models to separate what they DID, and who they ARE.

Look at the exchange in the images above. The kid apologizes for “being bad,” and the adult points out that it isn’t a question of “being.” It’s about specific behavior.

“Definitely was acting brand new. But you ain’t got a bad bone in your body.”

For a personal example, I’ve been working with one of my kids about bullying other kids. And when she behaves that way, I will tell her, “What you’re doing is bullying,” or “Stop bullying them.”

What I WON’T say is “You’re being a bully.”

Because kids listen (even when we feel like they aren’t) and they are constantly taking in information that they use to define themselves. And the worst thing I could do in this situation is say, “You’re being a bully,” and they believe me.

It happens so often, it’s tragic. We tell kids, “You’re a bully,” “You’re dumb,” “You’re being obnoxious,” and they internalize that. And as soon as a kid accepts “I am a bully” as part of their identity, they will act accordingly.

On the flip side, I used to think it was OK to label kids with “being” statements as long as they were positive, but I’ve learned even that has hidden dangers.

For example, imagine one of my kids finishes a puzzle really quickly, and I respond by saying, “You’re so smart!” Seems great, right?

But what happens when they move on to a harder puzzle and they don’t finish as quickly? So they start thinking things like, “Dad said I’m smart because I can do puzzles fast. But I didn’t do this one fast so I guess I’m not smart after all.” Or, “Dad says I’m smart because I can do puzzles fast, but I didn’t do this one fast so it must be a stupid puzzle that’s made wrong.”

I guess my point is, use “you are” statements sparingly and carefully with kids. Tell them things like, “You are important,” “You are valuable,” “You are loved.” But when it comes to behavior, make it clear that what they do does not define who they are. Let them define themselves.

[sistertaxon]

why are there so many posts about asexuals being immune to sirens. people. sirens don’t lure you in with sex (necessarily). they sing about whatever it is that you want most. they could sing about mothman or cinnamon toast crunch and guess what then your asexual pirate is fucking dead

[thesylverlining]

this is the only kind of ace discourse i ever want to see on my dash. the only kind. ever again. good job

[kittyknowsthings]

Do you think the sirens would be grateful that they finally get some variety? 

[systlin]

“Oh my god we can finally just sing about pasta thank the fucking gods.” 

[totohoy-blog]

I’m not asexual but I’m fairly certain sirens would do a far better job luring me into the depths with a song about pasta rather than sex…

Things keep getting worse and worse..

One thing I haven’t mentioned to you all is that I have an abusive mother that I live with because I have no income. However, because I don’t have a job she becomes very aggresive, says horrible things to me and calls me stupid and slow and that I can’t hear right. Then when I defend myself, she punishes me for standing up to myself…in the form not cooking any dinner tomorrow knowing very well I have no money on me. 

So basically I’m going to starve today. So I broke down crying and wondering if I should just end it because I am tired of bad things happening to me left and right each day is getting worse whenever I start to feel hopeful. I just don’t know what to do..

If anyone can help me buy something to eat tommrow, that will be great since I only have a few dollars in my bank account which isn’t enough to even buy one meal.

If you do buy something, please use PayPal instead of stripe. Stripe takes over a week for me to get funds and it won’t help me since I’m in dire need at this moment. 

I don’t like asking for help because I don’t want to seem needy but I can’t be proud. Sometimes you have to be humble. 

Thanks again for your time..

[hymnsofheresy]

american nationalism is its own religion.

[hymnsofheresy]

the constitution is comparable to the Bible. read as if it was written by God, and is oftentimes considered indisputable 

the flag is an idol in which people literally pledge their allegiance to

patriotic anthems = hymns

the military itself is a treated like a priest class; the “laypeople” are expected to display the utmost respect for their pure existence.

indoctrination of children

displays of patriotism determines how “faithful” the individual is

presence of nationalism at different events (such as sports games, festivals, schools etc…) eerily resembles a theocracy

when someone chooses not to partake in a patriotic ritual, they are considered a heretic

being aware of the impact of things we can often not think about (like straws) is important if we’re to make strides on environmental preservation 

that does not eclipse the importance of being aware of how it impacts disabled people. they’re both conversations we need to have

[thisone-malevolent-person]

Tweet thread from moe / @EhlersDanlosgrl

Tweet one:

I was declined a straw at a restaurant this morning. The waitress had one in her apron. As she proured the water I said “excuse me miss can I have a straw?” She said “we can’t just give them out” and walked away.

Tweet two:

My dad flagged her down and when she returned to the table, I asked again “miss sorry but I really do need a straw”. She then said “we only give them to the elderly”

Tweet three:

I explained that I am disabled, that I have degenerative joint disease in my spine and picking up a full glass to drink causes muscle spasms under my shoulder blades. She met that with “you seemed fine when you walked in”.

Tweet four:

5 minutes later, still no straw. Finally I asked for a manager and the waitress looks pissed as hell but goes to get them. The manager heard me out, handed me a straw, then turned to the waitress and whispered “people like that aren’t worth it just give them the damn straw”

Tweet five:

I was SO frustrates… I just started crying. My dad got up and followed the manager back to the front where he then LET HER HAVE IT. He had let me handle it up until that point Bc I had asked him to.

Tweet six:

And while he was shouting, people were turning to look at me… he was literally just shouting “her spine is deteriorating she uses crutches most days you MORON” and I was SO EMBARRASSED. I got up and walked out of the restaurant and my mom followed me.

Tweet seven:

We hadn’t even ordered yet so we just left. I’m still really upset. STRAW BAN IS BULLSHIT. It’s just an excuse for ableism. A waitress should NOT get to “decide” if I’m validly disabled or not.

Tweet eight:

So, this is kind of blowing up more than I thought it would, I just wanted to rant. I am glad this thread is starting the conversation and helping to educate others.

Tweet nine:

I really appreciate everyone offering to contact the restaurant on my behalf, but there are several reasons I am not going to name it:

1. It’s a beloved restaurant here, very old and valued in my community

2. The manager IT THE OWNER

3. I have severe anxiety, I can’t handle that

Tweet ten:

I have muted my twitter notifications, as this tweet has picked up a lot more traction than I had ever thought possible, and I’m honestly a bit stressed [smiling emoji with sweat on its forhead] I appreciate all the kind words and solidarity [heart emoji] ableds reading this thread, LISTEN TO US IN THE REPLIES [emoji fist] HEAR US.

Tweet eleven:

Everybody, the infographic being used in the thread is by @rollwthepunches !!! Please go check out their work [heart emoji]

[Picture with a chart that explains why different kind of straws don’t messure up to the one use one in accessability.

-allergy risk (Metal, paper, silicone, acrylic, pasta/rice, bamboo, biodegradable)

-choking hazard (paper, pasta/rice, biodegradable)

-injury risk (metal, glass, acrylic, pasta/rice, bamboo, )

-not positionable (metal, paper, glass, silicone, acrylic, pasta/rice, bamboo, biodegradable)

-not hot liquid safe (mental, paper, acrylic, pasta/rice, biodegradable)

-dissolve with long use ( paper, pasta/rice, biodegradable)

-hard to sanitize (metal, glass, silicone, acrylic)

-high cost (metal, glass, silicone, acrylic, bamboo)

The one use straw is not listed on any of these negativs]

Tweet twelve:

You are all for the most part missing the entire point of the thread.

I had to disclose medical information to a WAITRESS so that she could DECIDE if I was DISABLES ENOUGH. This isn’t about straws. If you think it’s just about straws, you have zero care disabled lives.

Tweet thirdteen:

I like how all you performance environmentalists tell me I need to “make sacrifices” for the environment…yet…you know NOTHING about my waste reduction habits or my green efforts in my life or what sacrifices I ALREADY MAKE. IRONIC- Isn’t it?

Twitter user @eveewing retweeted the thread with this addition:

read this thread. disabled people tried to tell us about the asinine straw bans for months and, as predicted, here we are]

Image discription over

I tried my best.

[infernallegaycy]

[additional description note: text under the infographic in tweet eleven reads: “Many disabled individuals require straws for food, meds, and to be social with friends. We can ALL reduce plastic use, but banning items many depend on harms a very vulnerable population. Pressure companies to make safe alternatives to all and reduce waste in larger ways. (bolded) Hurt turtles are devastating. So are children and adults aspirating liquid into their lungs.” /end id.]

[keyblack-hl]

do you ever just

“no that’s not dramatic and cheesy enough”

“getting warmer”

“t HERE IT IS”

[discoskater79]

i love this but i dont know how to do this

hoW

[yokoboo]

For those wondering about HOW to do this, here’s a short explanation according to me:

Drawing A to Drawing B: -the most obvious change is the exaggeration of the line of motion in the character.  

In Drawing B the line of motion is much more pronounced, creating more drama and movement to the whole composition

-The arms are open wider, showing more confidence and exuberance in the character, exaggerating their emotions so they can be more clearly read without having to look to the face for emotional cues.

-the legs are wider apart, adding to the aforementioned confidence but also giving the character a solid foundation, visually speaking.

-The head is tilted back and overlapped by the chest, adding a touch of dynamic perspective to the drawing.

Drawing B to Drawing C:  -Most obvious change is to zoom in on the character.  Character framing is just as important as what the character is doing.  Zooming in can help infensify emotions.  this shot is ALL about this character and what they’re feeling. -Because of the zooming in, the arms/hands would have gotten lost, so instead of making the canvas wider, the artist has elected to rotate the character slightly, bringing a dynamic angle to things and more intensity to the close shot. -While the character is more upright in this shot compared to Drawing B, in Drawing C the chest still slightly overlaps the neck, preserving the feeling of being slightly below the character (putting them in a position of power relative to the viewer), which helps maintain confidence and power in the character. -the chest is exaggerated to carry the majority of the body’s line of action so even though you cannot see the legs, our brains are able to fill in the gap and envision that line of action. -The cropping/framing of the character allows for a more interesting composition/negative shapes created by the positive (character) on the negative (background), creating more visual interest as well as a circular motion to the composition through the arms, across the face to the negative space for the eyes to rest in before dropping to the hand in the background and back through the composition again.

families of depressed kids in media: okay sweetie we’ve researched depression for ten hours straight and signed you up for therapy and re-arranged your school schedule to be less stressful

therapists in media: refined, cultured, poised, “I’m afraid I haven’t [heard of the nerdy thing their patient just referenced]”

my old therapist derek, from across the reception area, seeing me for the first time after the summer of 2015: HEY DID YOU SEE AGE OF ULTRON?? IT SUCKED, RIGHT???

my current therapist ian, in our very first appointment: do you like star wars? anxiety is like the force, it can consume you, or you can learn to keep it in balance… you’re my padawan now

[mmmm-gross]

Actual things my therapist has told me:

“You’re bassicly a glorified sad lizard.” (It makes sense with context)

“Damn girl you need to get your shit together.”

“Go home and cry. Stop drinking in bathtubs. Eat something that isn’t bleach or memes.”

I’ll add more tomorrow after I see her again.

[percyhoneybee]

Can I just say that y'all sharing your positive experiences with therapy are extremely important? I had a Bad therapist in high school and I’m only just now (almost a decade later) considering trying therapy again, largely in thanks to people who talk openly about their treatment and how it helps them.

So like, thanks dudes.

Things they don’t tell you about top surgery

- Talk to the surgeon about the size you want your new areolas/nipples (don’t be afraid to ask)

- Numbness. No one talks about this for guys who are about to have surgery. You’re going to be numb all in your chest area, especially where the incisions were. They cut nerves as they pass along your chest, and it can take up to a year to regenerate those nerves. Still, feels super foreign for the first two weeks

- Make your bed into a pillow chair, body pillow, two on each side, and two for your head. 

- Sleep alone. I tried to sleep with my girlfriend and it was miserable. You really do need the entire bed for yourself

- Go on Groupon, & get yourself a 10 foot lightning cable iPhone charger, BEST THING EVER, can reach from wherever you are

- Don’t take a week off from work, take two. You will regret the one week, and love the extra time

- When they say “don’t move too much, even after the first week”. LISTEN. I moved way too much and got so sore super quickly. 

- Drink lots of water & eat if your taking the pain medication, otherwise your stomach feels super funky.

- Get stool softeners, & don’t be afraid to take those babies. Don’t wait a week to poop. you’ll surely regret it. 

- The drains are scary & they may hurt while draining or rewrapping your dressings, but once they come out, the second they do, its no more pain, its crazy. 

i hope this helps someone, because i wish i knew all of this when i was having mine a month ago. Looking back its like everyone forgets all the real negatives, its a great experience, & i healed very well & quick compared to most, but the first few days are crazy. They hurt, suck but it gets better. 

[fitness01993]

To the few guys I know having surgery this week!

[sabertoothwalrus]

-the headache you get a couple days after the surgery because the anesthesia is leaving your body hurts 200 times more than the surgery itself. And even that isn’t too bad.

-after a week or, you ITCH. It’s awful. Try not to touch your stitches too much. An ice pack will help.

Tips!!!

[gluten-free-pussy]

I actually now fully understand why women’s only gyms need to be a thing. The amount of times we’ve caught (and punished) men for creeping the women who come to our gym is astounding. Men have all the porn in the fucking world, everything is tailored for them and their dicks and yet it isn’t enough. They have to film unsuspecting women on treadmills. I’ve always been an obnoxious loud mouth bitch so when I’m working out (I’m usually the only woman in the free weights section), and some guy tries something I have no problem getting in his face. A lot of women aren’t like that and it pains me to have them come to me crying because some asshole touched them or made them feel uncomfortable. Women need their own spaces because too many men have no fucking home training

[mojrim]

Both sexes need their own spaces.  We’re different.

[4hefr0g]

No, only women need their own spaces. Men have no practical need for male only spaces. There isn’t an epidemic of women preying on, stalking, intimidating, harassing, raping, threatening, and murdering men the way that men constantly do to women. Go check out some crime statistics.

[mojrim]

That’s all true but not the only issue.  Men need a place where they can say certain things and behave in certain ways with neither female judgement nor sexual competition.  

[gluten-free-pussy]

Out of curiousity, what “certain things” would they be saying and what types of behaviour would that entail?

[mojrim]

Misogynist humor and pecking order bullying, mostly.  

[gluten-free-pussy]

So all men need spaces for this? Why do you need it though? Why is it necessary

[mojrim]

It’s integral to how we form groups.  You see it with any combat arms unit or sports team (which is just the watered down version of the first).  Anthropologists have noted that all male war bands form the second strongest interpersonal bonds, behind mother-child.  This is where I got my best and closest friends, and many others I know feel the same.  Adding a woman to such a group changes everything in the dynamic and reorients it toward sexual competition.

I don’t think all men will want to, but having access and a choice is key.

[gluten-free-pussy]

I just don’t really get why men get upset when women say that men are misogynistic when you say this? Men say “not all men” but then need spaces where they can shit on women in private to “bond”. How do you not see this as an issue? Like imagine this with any other demographic: do able bodied people need separate spaces to shit on disabled people? Men accidentally tell on themselves all the time it seems.

[my-wanton-self-deactivated20191]

In a move that has sparked outcry from archaeologists, historians and locals, the Peruvian government has approved a multi-billion international airport near the famed site of Machu Picchu, Peru’s single most important tourist destination. Bulldozers have begun to clear millions of tons of earth for the project, which will be located in Chinchero, a picturesque Inca town.

Building the airport in this location will destroy an ancient landscape, one shaped by the Incan people with terraces and routes.

Critics also suggest that planes flying low over the nearby village of Ollantaytambo and its archaeological park filled with ruins and a massive Inca fortress with large stone terraces, would cause incalculable damage to fragile Inca ruins there and destroy the peace and beauty of the area.

The new airport will make access to the site much easier, and thus encourage greater numbers than ever before to visit.

But Machu Picchu is already overwhelmed by almost double the limit of tourists as recommended by UNESCO. [see also India’s Taj Mahal - an incredible site simply reeling under a relentless, ineffectively managed tourist, both domestic and international, onslaught]

It’s the constant battle between protecting the past and profiteering from it.

I could be wrong but what’s interesting to me personally is that Elijah wasnt just mad, he was scared for his life cuz there was a queen who wanted him dead so Elijah ran and told God he wanted to die because he was in such anguish

But God is so good and He always knows what we need!

Notice too that he didn’t even give Elijah some encouraging words to comfort him.  He just told him to eat.  Sometimes just being there and making sure someone gets through their anguish is enough.
