i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it’’s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i’m not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i’m talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it’s literally not even that difficult and it matters so much
To simplify, if you sheild yourself/your child from things and don't teach/learn how to recompose at things that distress/upset you, you/your child will never be prepared for bad events in reality and get folded like a lawn chair when tragedy strikes.
I didn't feel it was appropriate for me to add to that last post but it's related so - Please, for the love of God, learn to manage your own emotional responses to media on your own.
Maybe it's because I started reading horror at a young age, but I learned pretty quickly that if a book is too heavy or graphic or whatever for you, it's alright to recognise those feelings, and either stop reading it entirely, or take a break. Do something that helps you calm down. Re-engage with comfort media. Give your pets a lil kiss.
It's not a moral failing on the author for a book to upset you. It's not a moral failing for you to be upset. It's just a fact of life we all have to learn to cope with.
isn't it insane though how schizophrenic people are viewed as violent and dangerous by the majority of society when in reality schizophrenic people are nearly 14 times more likely to be on the receiving end of violence than to be the perpetrators...
PLEASE BE CAREFUL FOR ANYONE WHO USES “BLUEBUFFALO” FOR THEIR DOGS!!
Ya know what interesting?
Mimicry.
Like you can start drawing on a sheet of paper and a little kid would just, start drawing too. It's something that all species on earth do and it just comes so naturally to us and even though as adults we technically don't need to mimic anymore (as we have learned most of our important life skills already) but we still do it! We use it both:
A. - in our relationships with others, sometimes mimicking their speech patterns or start taking interest in their hobbies.
B. - in situations where we are clueless to what we are supposed to be doing in the moment, looking at what everyone else is doing and mimic it. (This is actually how I got through cheerleading in highschool)
And we don't usually think about it either, it comes as naturally as breathing but of when you do notice it and think about it it's just so cool!
genuinely friendly reminder to never EVER share someone’s location/information without their explicit permission. you do not know why that person is asking, what they plan to do with that information, or even if the asker has that person’s best interest in mind at all.
OP is also not exaggerating how common this is. my abusive parents successfully kidnapped me from work once because a coworker who didn’t know my situation told them when my next shift was. my parents didn’t even know where I lived at that point in time, which was very much on purpose. it took me days to get away again. ALWAYS tell the person that is being looked for that someone is looking. never share personal information or even how to get in contact them. you can take information in and pass it along, but you absolutely cannot give any out.
Hey quick question uh, what websites would you recommend for looking up cultures?
I made another one of these things

Found this at my local movie theater
Ron Dino Weasley
can u make her internet famous
So I just had this thought:
A writer (and or artist) is trying to come up with a new oc. While in this train of thought, they look to the side of their desk and see a picture of them and their lover (bf, gf, spouse, you get the gist). They then start thinking of their fav attributes of their fiancee, and put one or two of them into the character.
I don’t know why but that just sounds so romantic to me.
