“When we were kids, the Phonics Wizard came to our town to show off how the letter E can change the sounds of vowels. He turned a can into a cane, a pin into a pine. This one kid had a cap and he changed it into a cape, that kind of thing.

“And we loved it, we were all having a great time, but then he saw my sister and I, and he just got this - this look in his eyes, and then-”

She hesitated, worrying the coarse material between her fingers. “Things got pretty bad after that,” she muttered. “I know it’s silly, but I try to keep - her - comfortable. We don’t know if she can still hear us, or see us, or if she’s even still in here, but I like to think she is. I talk to her when I can, I leave music on when I’m out of the house. I tried to convince my parents to bring her with us when we went to Disneyland, but they didn’t - didn’t really take that well.”

After a moment, she put the ball of twine back onto its pillow. “Anyways. They tried to arrest the Phonics Wizard, but he had a plan in case something went wrong and he turned it into a plane and flew away.”

Dating and marriage is so scary. What if he looks at me and is only able to see "catholic ✅️ not bad looking ✅️ good with kids ✅️" so he decides I'll do and starts acting the way he expects me to want him to act and then I don't notice and get married but he doesn't like me specifically, he just didn't dislike me and I happened to be there, so we spend our days solving the normal issues that show up until we burn out of this and start fighting about dishes and the kid's behavior, nothing truly bad, but since he never liked me specifically, the mundane kinda sucks and we'll be told all marriages are like that because taking care of a house and raising kids is hard by itself and we'll to believe that the dishes and the time it takes to get ready to mass really are to blame and we never solve anything and we really start to believe this is how things goes and I'm just feeling sad because I have too high ideals for happiness and I should just accept that arguing about the washing machine will just be part of my routine now and other woman have it so much worse, it's just the washing machine

Ok I know I just left a comment but I looked in the reblogs and my goodness could yall use some words of encouragement (and maybe tools... and resources).

And listen, I know I'm no Catholic but I totally get these fears! They are completely valid because we all know people in these situations! And we don't want that to be us! But we still wanna find love! And that's scary!

Well I can confidently say that as someone who experienced all this anxiety and is now in the happiest relationship I could've imagined that it's totally possible to get there. You just have to know how to approach it.

This is something that helped me a lot when I was trying to navigate the dating world.

So it's basically a class I took from someone in my church that breaks down all the common pitfalls in dating and how to recognize and avoid them to find the relationship you actually want. The guy doing it teaches it every year and records himself and uploads it into a free podcast. He teaches it from a religious perspective but the underlying principles are pretty universal.

I know I mentioned I'm not Catholic. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which might make some people uncomfortable for whatever reason but I genuinely wanted to share this resource because it sounds like a lot of yall are wrestling with these anxieties about dating and you genuinely deserve some support and guidance because you deserve that heavenly relationship your heart desires fr.

I don't know who my intended audience is here, so whoever needs to hear this, I am begging you to learn to participate in conversations that are about things you aren't interested in.

Part of socializing and having friends is being a good listener even when you don't actually give a shit about the subject.

Your are hurting other people's feelings when you bluntly respond with "Anyway..." and then change the topic.

It can not always be about your preferred topic.

You are being rude. Yes, even if you are neurodivergent. You can be both autistic and rude.

DNI if you've ever:

Been to Greenland

Been to Denver

Buried treasure in St. Louis (or St. Paul for that matter)

Been to Moscow

Been to Tampa

Been to Boston (only if you went during the fall, though)

Hoisted a mainstay

Swabbed a poop deck

Veered to starboard

You know what just DNI if you've ever sailed at all

Walked a gangplank

Owned a parrot (I shouldn't have to explain this one)

Been to Boston in the fall (cannot overstate this)

[edgar-allan-possum]

Okay, but what if I've never plucked a rooster and I'm not too good at ping-pong, and I've never thrown my mashed potatoes up against the wall, and I've never kissed a chipmunk and I've never gotten head lice, and I've never been to Boston in the fall?

[supreme-leader-stoat]

You're safe

The problem with studying the deep ocean is that humans need light to look at things, the depths of the ocean are extremely dark, and what lives there is accustomed to spending most of its time in that darkness. So when we go down there with submersibles and turn on Big Lights to see, we invariably and dramatically alter what's going on, in the same way that it's generally difficult to observe the natural behaviors of terrestrial animals if you whip out a megaphone and shout HEY GUYS WHAT ARE YOU DOING at them first.

It makes me think of the mysterious Williamcoin I received in the mail recently.

[dovecote]

Behold, One William.

[j4gm]

[dovecote]

So, very unfortunate news. I actually received a follow up in the mail, too.

the whole joking about and perpetuating the idea of alabama consisting of nothing but rednecks who're so stupid they don't know whether to shit or wind their watch being a deeply classist thing notwithstanding, i would like to remind and/or inform the general public, particularly those who wanna throw the entire state and its people away, that the whole "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" thing wouldn't have happened without those rednecks.

because they're the ones who built saturn v. you know, the rocket that got astronauts to the moon for the first time. alabamains also built explorer I. you know, nasa's very first satellite launched into earth orbit. they also built the lunar rover. and significant portions of the hubble space telescope. and the international space station. and the chandra x-ray observatory. and they're the leader in development for deep space exploration.

nasa is one of the largest employers in the state. and alabama has fourth highest number of aerospace engineers, and the second highest concentration of said engineers in the country.

if you're a fan of nasa and space stuff in general, but write off the state of alabama in its entirety, i am delighted to tell you that the rednecks you believe can't tell their ass from a hole in the ground are the same rednecks giving you the peak into the cosmos that you love so much.

Went to the grocery store with my kindergartener. We weighed some bananas: 2 pounds even. We weighed a watermelon: 4 pounds even. We weighed some mangos: a little over 1 pound. We weighed the watermelon AND the bananas: 6 pounds even.

“That’s funny” said the child “because 2+4=6 and two pounds and four pounds is six pounds. It’s like the same as math!”

“What happens if you add 6+1?”

“SEVEN”

“What if we put one pound of mangos on the scale?” <mangos added>

“IT’S THE SAME!!”

“OK, what’s 7-4?”

“Three?”

“What if we take the four pound watermelon off the scale?” <watermelon removed>

“Mama! Are you telling me math works In Real Life? Think of all the things you could measure!!”

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude.

[katsdom]

The above is doubly true if the content of the email is something that will be important to the person receiving - especially something that affects them negatively. They see that this thing that affected them so much didn't matter enough to you to write it yourself. I was a bystander to such a thing not long ago and it was just awful.
