I sat with a crying second grader today. (The age range is outside my wheelhouse but I was the most convenient adult.) He was crying, the other adults said, because his brother took a phone he was playing on. “Phone addicted,” everybody said. “If he would get up and play games with the other kids he wouldn’t be crying.”
He told me everyone lets his brother take things from him because his brother is younger, and doesn’t know better. He told me he doesn’t want to play because he’s tired, he has too many extracurriculars this summer and can’t get good sleep because “everyone in my camper is so loud when I’m trying to sleep.” He’s exhausted and only eight. His mom’s an acquaintance and told me she and the kid’s father are going through a separation — mom and four kids left the house to stay in a camper.
But people will seriously not listen to kids crying over seemingly minor things because on the surface it looks like a tantrum. If kids are given the space to articulate themselves they often will.
played sims 4 for the first time and one of the married cis men had a desire to try for baby with his cis husband. i accidentally pinned it and could not unpin it. trying for baby is physically impossible. I tried to use cheats to give him a viable womb in create a sim but it wouldn’t let me do so retroactively. so I thought, maybe if they adopt the want for pregnancy will go away, and had them adopt a toddler daughter. but then the try for baby desire did not go away. since they now had an unwanted adopted child I tried to remove the toddler from the household, thinking this would send her back into the ether. it did not. instead she wanders the neighborhood like a feral cat. i thought the social worker would come and take her back so someone else could adopt her, but I guess there is no social worker in sims 4. so now the neighborhood is haunted by a smelly miserable baby that has no home but cannot die and everyone who sees her is uncomfortable. fucking omelas scenario.
Splatoon/side order fans should get excited for what I’ve been working on; Color Chip Pride Pins!!! More info down below!!!
(Reblogs are highly appreciated)
Each pin will be printed on a combination of white acrylic and clear frosted acrylic, giving off an appearence really similar to how the color chips look in game! There will be pins attatched to the back so you can stick em wherever you want! If these spark enough interest, I’ll probably price them at $10 a piece.
If you wanna see these go up for sale on my shop, please spread this post!
constant drive to talk about my ocs but also the eternal issue of not being able to articulate my thoughts properly so just imagine that i am grabbing you like this. there are things in my mind but they are not escaping
Hihi idk wut ur general ask rules are, but um i figured i may as well ask and hope im not too annoying lol. You make really beautiful moodboards and i was wondering if you could maybe make a winged cat one? Ty if you can and dw if not, have a wonderful day regardless :3
Sorry I couldnt find many with feathered wings! Not many unknown facts about cats for me to provide but there is one kind gross one about winged cats. Some cats actually can have 'wings', due to feline cutaneous asthenia. It is a condition related to ehlers danlos syndrome, it causes skin growth that can resemble wings. Some cats have been documented to have supernumerary limbs (extra partial limbs) that can resemble wings, and may include bone and muscular tissue.
Trying a new format to break my long squid science silence with ^^
Thank god for Russian dash cams to bring us wonders like this
-(thee/they/any)- lives on the internet, very invested in multiple games, even ones i can't even get (they generate enrichment in the brain centrifuge) ✨holy trinity of artist, furry and otherkin✨ (notably full of disease and mental illness)
