An archivist found a long forgotten 8mm film reel in an old metal box, marked "Philippines 1942". Thinking it was lost WWII footage, he sent it in to be restored/digitized. When he got the footage back, he found puppies instead (via)

This is so freaking profound. Like, this was before the advent of the personal camera. Not just anyone owned a camera in these days. Cameras were expensive, and so was the film. When you were recording shit, it had to be stuff you were willing to shell out a pretty penny to have preserved. Someone so deeply and profoundly loved these dogs and found joy in them that they decided to preserve them for future generations to see, after these pups are long dead and gone. This camera operator wanted to preserve the joy these dogs brought them and to share it with others. How incredible is that?

sometimes i wish i had facial hair

im not coming back to tumblr i just needed to find this post in order to dunk on my younger self. you absolute baby buffoon. you dumbass

thank fucking god I'm not 14 anymore

hey if you are 14-17 It does get better you are just in your caterpillar goop era

Am chronically ill, can confirm. More than 90% of the time, I know more about my conditions than any doctor I have to encounter, and it is HARD to get a doctor to understand that I have to be an expert because it's something I live with ALL THE TIME.

And that's the other thing, even if the average doctor was willing to do the in-depth investigation thing, there frequently isn't a fix, just a "these meds might help with some of the effects, and as for the rest, I guess it sucks to be you".

[Image ID: tweet from Roxi Horror @roxiqt that reads: “Part of why healthy people aren’t afraid to get sick is — they think if they develop long-term issues, they’ll go and get treated by doctors who will work day and night to fix them (as it was on House M.D.) and don’t realize there’s a 99 percent chance they’ll be told they just have anxiety” /end ID]

it’s definitely also the belief that morality and health are joined

that is, only evil people or at least irresponsible people ever get sick or injured or are disabled

and this belief is common in part because the enormity of the reality of our current system under ableism — sister-wife to early 20th century eugenics — is too terrifying for most people to bear.

so in third grade I told two of my friends I could talk to horses & made up a really dramatic backstory of how I “discovered” my powers & our teacher overheard us talking about it and told the child psychologist I was seeing for insomnia issues & the child psychologist asked me about it & I was first and foremost terrified that if I admitted to the lie, this medical professional would tell my friends I made it all up

so I doubled down and insisted I could really talk to horses. I was doing major damage control. I didn’t realize you can’t just tell psychiatric professionals you have magic powers, I was 8.

so I ended up in counseling for this for an entire year until eventually I just stopped going for some reason but when I was 20 the office contacted me to tell me the psychologist was retiring & asked if I wanted a copy of my childhood records before they were filed away and eventually shredded & I said sure & went over them & discovered that she had diagnosed me with “psychotic delusions” bc I was 8 and apparently convinced her I truly thought I could talk to horses.

genuinely cannot tell if I my parents should’ve been cashing in on me as the most sought-after child actor of the era or if that psychologist was just extremely so so so bad at her job.

I also figured out I stopped seeing her because she told my parents the diagnosis and my dad was like “she’s doesn’t think she can talk to horses!!! she’s lying to you 😭😭😭😭” but she didn’t believe him

i say i was a weird-horse-girl in elementary school and you say “me too” but did it get you a psychiatric diagnosis

I love photos like this. There’s nothing going on, really, someone just saw this and said “Oh he’s so HANDSOME. I have to take picture.” From my collection, 1959.
