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.

Fuck it, Urbanism hot take night, none of you bitches actually know what gentrification is

Those dilapidated warehouses being demolished and turned into a restaurant or an apartment complex is not gentrification

No, that man with a metrosexual haircut wearing airpods on the bus is not gentrifying your neighborhood, he is a person, not the American socio-economic landscape

@clearancecreedwatersurvival You'd be surprised how many people fail to grasp this

Like people will see affordable housing being built and say "Gentrification" because it's a 5 over 1 and has modern architecture

@timelineman-of-titors-edge A 5 over 1 is this bitch, the most hated architecture in the nation:

They are incredibly cheap to build apartment buildings with the current building codes. They are called 5 over 1's because they are 5 floors with wooden frames over a concrete base

I have been a sheep caretaker for like two days and already I'm like. Wow. I get it.

I get why these were some of the earliest mammals to ever be domesticated. They look up to humans with this sort of dumb but all at once innocent and pure and trusting expression. They're happy to see you. They follow you around. They like to be rubbed under their chins. Maybe its just some latent Scottish highland shepherd DNA I still have in me but I look at my sheep charges and suddenly I see why the love of God for humanity is so often described as a shepherd and his sheep. I'd fight a wolf for these guys. I'd go way the Hell out of my way for them. I'd carry their young for miles on my own back.
