Silly Little Dragon Reblogging Silly Little Posts

No matter what a post on tumblr tries to tell you, your moral and ethical stances will never be determined by what you reblog and what you scroll past. Don’t let manipulation tactics force you into doing anything you don’t want to do.

I find it very interesting to note the times in which this post has a sudden resurgence. It often follows very stressful, upsetting events, where a lot of “REBLOG THIS OR YOU SUCK” posts start appearing on this site. 

So I’ll say it again: it is okay if you come to tumblr to escape upsetting news. It is okay if you’re just here for fun and fandom. It is okay if you do not want to use your tumblr as a place to read about or spread the current events that are circulating. It is okay if you need a place to decompress and just relax. There are other ways to be involved in/support causes and you are allowed to set boundaries on social media platforms without it being indicative of your belief systems. 

Your beliefs, values, ethics, and moral stances are not determined by whether or not you reblog something.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

you also need to add $$$ for your working space, utilities including wifi and transportation if you need to get materials locally, also work transport into shipping costs (which you always charge the customer including packing materials and time packing.

Remember, if you sell your work for less/or give it for free you are actually PAYING SOMEONE to take your work.

This is the 2nd "most annoying Tumblr users" poll I've seen where the lineup is like, "trans woman who writes essays about marine life" vs "Dude whose primary online reputation is being as wildly, cartoonishly racist as possible without explicitly violating Tumblr's terms of service" and like, while I don't think the poll would ever be a good idea even excluding the latter type of user, it's insane to me that the people creating these aren't ever like, "Hey maybe I shouldn't pit the person whose annoying trait is Neurodivergent And Fixated On JRPGs against someone whose annoying trait is that their username is a reference to twelve different Finnish Neo-Nazi terrorist groups"

You may think it cruel but when a white witch pisses me off I go through her etsy listings for native bird feathers and forward it to fish and wildlife services

Across the board, all the moms mention one golden rule: Don’t shout or yell at small children.

Traditional Inuit parenting is incredibly nurturing and tender. If you took all the parenting styles around the world and ranked them by their gentleness, the Inuit approach would likely rank near the top. (They even have a special kiss for babies, where you put your nose against the cheek and sniff the skin.)

The culture views scolding — or even speaking to children in an angry voice — as inappropriate, says Lisa Ipeelie, a radio producer and mom who grew up with 12 siblings. “When they’re little, it doesn’t help to raise your voice,” she says. “It will just make your own heart rate go up.”

Even if the child hits you or bites you, there’s no raising your voice?

“No,” Ipeelie says with a giggle that seems to emphasize how silly my question is. “With little kids, you often think they’re pushing your buttons, but that’s not what’s going on. They’re upset about something, and you have to figure out what it is.”

Traditionally, the Inuit saw yelling at a small child as demeaning. It’s as if the adult is having a tantrum; it’s basically stooping to the level of the child, Briggs documented.

Elders I spoke with say intense colonization over the past century is damaging these traditions. And, so, the community is working hard to keep the parenting approach intact.

More stories from hell (retail) today I was ringing up this lady and she goes oh I want to do part of this on a gift card and the rest on normal card and I go ok and then she hands me a folded piece of paper. I think oh OK it must be folded around the gift card, right? Wrong. It is a folded sheet of 8×11 printer paper with "$40" written on the inside in ballpoint pen. I go what is this. She says a gift card. I say this is not a gift card. She says yes it is. I say this is a piece of paper with "$40" written on it. She says "well it's a gift card." I say it absolutely is not. I am grinding my teeth. She says well I want to use it. I say you physically cannot do that bc it is a piece of paper. I cannot scan or swipe it. I apologize, as if this is my fault, and not because she is completely insane. I hate it here

I remembered the scene in Doctor Who where Ten made an ATM spit cash to cause a diversion, but I was not aware that due to stringent laws about creating prop money, they were forced to design an entire bill to use as a prop. I think David Tennant's face should be on all currency everywhere, personally.

[ID: A photograph from the British Museum of a fake cash bill, used in the filming of Doctor Who; it looks relatively realistic until you look at the details, where it emerges that it has among other things, a small TARDIS, the legend "Ten Satsumas", the motto "No second chances, I'm that sort of man", the initials DT, and the face of David Tennant circa 2008.]

Not cool to be funnier than me on my own post! :D
