There was a young man from Peru

Whose limericks stopped at line two

There once was a man from Verdun

There once was a man from the sticks Whose limericks stopped at line six. They were fine till line five Then they took quite a dive — But the problem is easy to fix If you just ignore the last line, it doesn't even follow the rhyme scheme oh god I've really lost control of this thing I'm so sorry...

There once was a man

From Cork who got limericks

And haiku confused.

There once was a man from the sticks

Who liked to compose limericks

But he failed at the sport

Because he wrote them too short

There once was a fellow named Dan, Whose poetry never would scan. When told this was so, He replied, "Yes, I know-- It's because I try to squeeze as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can."

On Tumblr did lasses and lads Their way with fail poetry had. You're having your fun But you're fooling no one - It takes skill to do something this bad.

Do autistic kids "grow out" of their autism? Why does it sometimes seem like there are so few autistic adults?

For Autism Acceptance Month, I covered this topic in this comic to help explain this disconnect! YouTube | TikTok | Instagram | Twitter

#tbt the first season of TNG. I’m doing homework on the set, with my studio teacher, Marian. She was such a good teacher and mentor to me. She gave that scared, hurt, insecure little kid some boundaries, lots of guidance and advice, a world-class education, and the kind of unconditional approval I never got from my parents.

Regular school was awful for me. I was relentlessly bullied, and because I was famous, my shyness and anxiety was mistaken for arrogance. When I booked TNG, I was as excited to get away from my awful school as I was to be on the Enterprise. Marian was not my first teacher, but she was the one who put in the work to help me become the best version of myself. I’m so grateful she was in my life when I needed her.

If you’re a teacher, please know that I admire, respect, and am grateful for you and everything you do. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7rcz6uh0Qs/?igshid=zu9prp2aogcs

I noticed when I was a kid that adults seem to forget that everything is real, no matter how young you are. A seven year old doesn’t feel like a helpless infant, they feel the oldest and most mature they’ve ever felt. And they will when they turn eight, too. And nine. Twenty. Thirty. Fifty.

You never feel as young as you are, because you’re always the oldest you’ve been. You can only look back and equate childhood with ignorance and silliness, because there were things you didn’t know then. But there are things you don’t know now, too, that someone older is looking down at you for.

I promised myself I would never forget that, growing up. I put it in a time capsule when I was nine because I wanted to be certain. And sometimes it slips away, and I catch myself scoffing at people younger than me, but you have to fight that. You have to hold on. You have to keep a little bit of your younger mind inside you, so you don’t forget.

I think that’s important.

Remember that you’ll always change, but know that the person you’ll become isn’t going to be any more real than the person you are, or the person you were. They’re still going to feel like You.

I saw a news report about this on T.V., she was a straight A Student who had perfect attendance and everything. Everyone loved and respected her for her skills, but when she started this experiment and people thought she was pregnant, they started treating her like garbage. Even her teachers started looking down on her like she was scum of the earth. The only people who knew she was doing this as an experiment were her school principal, her health care teacher, her boyfriend, and her mother. Her own siblings thought she was pregnant! I mean even her friends turned on her, it was horrid. Very very sad, and as soon as she revealed during an assembly that the pregnancy was false, a lot of people were in shock as she brought up all the horrible things they said and did to her because they thought she was pregnant. The reason for the experiment was to see how people would react and treat her if they thought she was pregnant, as opposed as to treating her as the straight A “Perfect” student they usually did. And it proved that people were horrible scumbags to her as soon as they thought she was.

holy shit. this is fucking awesome

I read this chick’s book! It was so cool.

[kinkyconcepts]

Her book is The Pregnancy Project by Gaby Rodriguez

[boxlunches]

Pretty sure I reblogged something about this in the past, but now someone’s posted a book title and I want to read this book

[i-am-corbin-dallas]

I read the book and saw the lifetime movie

***SPOILERS*** 

She came from a family with a history of teen pregnancies but she was the exception to the rule. As her senior project she wanted to see how things would change for her if she “succumbed” to what was expected of her by society and statistics. basically she told her bf for his permission and one or two school officials (I think her sister or mother as well but I read it soo long ago).

The teachers who didn’t know immediately began to look down on her, most of her friends abandoned her. He bf's family told him to leave her and she basically became the school outcast. Only the other pregnant girls were friendly to her. At the end of the school year she made a big presentation to the school giving them facts about teen pregnancy and telling them about her experiences as a pregnant teen including things they had said to or about her. Then she finally revealed that she wasn’t pregnant. Some people were mad that she had tricked them but overall they understood why she had done it.

[northstarfan]

Assholes weren’t mad that she tricked them, they were mad because she exposed them for what they really were: a pack of shitheads.

GenX here, and I have some bad news for Millennials: we were as frustrated and exhausted by Boomers and Boomer ideology as you are, long before you were born.

Transcript:

Person in scrubs: This was a conversation I had while working at a retail pharmacy.

Person in scrubs: Hi ma’am, how can I help you today?

Customer: [rude, sounding bored] I need to refill my birth control.

Scrubs: Sure, let me check on that. Hm, it looks like you’re a little early. Did the doctor change the way you’re taking it?

Customer: [snidely] No, he told me exactly how to take it and that’s exactly how I’m taking it.

Scrubs: Okay, why don’t you tell me how you’re taking it, and I’ll make sure we wrote the correct directions the first time.

Customer: [rudely] I take one every morning at 8 AM, and so does my boyfriend.

Scrubs: [long pause, blinking] What?

Do not punish the behaviour you want to see

I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right?

But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort to socialize,  snarkily say, “So, you’ve decided to join us”?

Or when someone does something they’ve had trouble doing, say, “Why can’t you do that all the time?” (Happened to me, too often.)

Or any sentence containing the word “finally”. 

If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Don’t complain about how it’s not enough. Don’t bring up previous stuff. Encourage it.

Because I swear to fucking god there is nothing more soul-killing, more motivation-crushing, than struggling to succeed and finding out that success and failure are both punished.
