sad? hungry? vaguely sickly? try eating Raw Bell Pepper. nothing wrong when you eat Raw Bell Pepper in bed next to your sleeping spouse at 1:15 a.m. Raw Bell Pepper (moderately wrinkly) (about to go bad) (but hasnt yet) is good for you. no vegetables all day? Raw Bell Pepper will fix that. eat all of Raw Bell Pepper (except for the 2-3 bites that taste inexplicably Very Bad) because groceries are so very expensive and you do not have much money but you do have. Raw Bell Pepper. eat Raw Bell Pepper.

Let's all go to McDonald's and ask if they have the White Gilgamesh. The spirit of Enkidu will rise up from the underworld and with his rage rend the sky in two, cause mountains to shiver away in fear, dry up the canals and marshes, and split the earth into a thousand canyons!

this cat is an idiot (affectionate)

[Video ID:

the camera is pointed at a kitchen floor, where seven gray or brown cat toys shaped like mice are laying in a pile. a cat walks across up to them, sniffs them, and then walks out of frame to the right, bumping the camera as he does so. the cat is purring softly.

voice off screen: he’s purring because i pulled seven mousies out of- out of- under the oven.

the cat walks back across the screen from right to left, still purring and bumping the camera. he leans into a heads scritch from a hand that comes into frame from the left. the cat then receives many neck scritches for the rest of the video as he leans his head down to head bump the mousies on the floor.

off screen voice, higher pitched as it addresses the cat: you happy? [voice lowers in pitch.] i don’t know if you can hear him. [higher pitched again] are you happy, you got all your mousies back? stop putting them under there!

End ID.]

side character standing over fainted conductor: is there a doctor on this train?? is anyone a doctor?

doctor: I am. I am a doctor. hm... he's going to die and this train is going to explode... unless someone has a ratty old zippo lighter with obvious burn warping on the lid, as though it was overfilled and closed in a weird way that implies the owner might be a little bit scared of fire. like she really jumpscared herself with it one time.

Rocking chairs are proof autism and ADHD have always existed, there is no way a neurotypical person said “what if there was a special chair for rocking back and forth in”

stop mentioning babies on this post I don’t believe in them

Dignity of risk is such an important concept but also the amount of risk has to be very individualized to the person.

I'm allowed to control my own finances even though I'm "not all there" and I'm a team with my husband. I'm allowed the dignity of risk to spend all my money that should have gone to my mortgage on things like ice cream and video games because I can understand what a budget is and how to use one. If I were to show I couldn't, by continuously missing house payments, then we'd reevaluate and see if i need someone to help make sure my bills are paid.

Theres a lot of people who can't. Their dignity of risk might be different, for them a healthy risk might be dating and getting their heart broken or staying up too late on a weeknight and being tired and grumpy the next day. For others it might be risking getting upset after an argument. A physical disability example could look like a medically fragile person ride an adaptive bike or living on their own with proper supports.

Being able to take risks and deal with the consequences is an important part of life.

Dignity of risk. That’s an excellent term. Should it also be a right?

Making it codified as a right is a little difficult because the amount of risk each person can take without risking something MAJOR like death is different.

For the most part though, the major stuff already is a right. You have to have the right to refuse medical care and medicine taken from you by the courts after you've proven you can't handle them starting in teenage years. Same with finances, all adults can open a bank account, sign contracts, or apply for a credit card unless they lost it through the courts. Most people can marry and divorce within the month and spend all their life savings on corgi puppies if they really wanted to.

Where it starts getting sticky is when things like sex, eating healthy, things like that come into play. Most old people in care homes, even with dementia, can consent to sex with another elder in a care home. They know what no means, they can handle some drama. It's a common place thing for families to try and stop it because "grandma doesn't know what's going on" even though she knows Harold down the hall lost his wife 20 years ago but still takes out his false teeth for the ladies if you ask him nicely and she's been asking for a WHILE. Care homes won't stop this as long as they know grandma is asking and knows what she's asking for. Someone else might not be lucid enough to know what's happening or why and CAN'T consent, and those people are the ones who are safeguarded because they can't choose to take that risk on their own.

Institutions have something informal called the "Burrito Test" where you should be free to get up and microwave a frozen burrito if you want one, if you can't it's a bad institution. However, again it gets sticky if someone CAN'T make themselves a burrito or if they have something like Prader Willi (which makes you permanently starving level hungry and often intellectually disabled) where they need someone else to manage food intake for them. But it's still important to let people choose to take risks that are fairly safe for the individual and people helping should look for other ways they can support risk taking.

Everyone else talked about outdoor cats, it's time for me to talk about offleash dogs

Reasons not to have your dog offleash at a public park:

1) roads (this one is self-explanatory)

2) it makes the park inaccessible to like, entire swathes of the population. If you have experience with police dogs or guard dogs in your neighborhood, or you're a new immigrant from somewhere with a large population of feral dogs, it sucks ass going to the park and having someone's massive lab bound up to you!

3) If, for example, you are in a protected wetland area plastered with friendly signs asking you to please leash your dog to avoid causing an ecological impact, having your dog offleash might cause an ecological impact! "Oh no, my dog is well-behaved, they would never bother the wildlife" wrong! your dog is in the pond trying to eat the endangered Blandings' turtles!

4) Non-zero chance of a jokerified park guide (me) just clipping your dog to a leash and stealing them

5) “Oh but my dog is friendly!” If your unleashed “friendly” dog runs up to my leashed UNFRIENDLY dog, and my dog bites yours, guess who’s getting the blame despite doing everything right?

6) Allergies. “Oh but my dog is friendly!” oh well that’s great I guess I can just put the epipen away because, yknow, he didn’t mean to induce anaphylactic shock, it was all in good fun, nothing to worry about!

7) Small children, the elderly and disabled people. “Oh but my dog is so friendly!” When your friendly dog slams into me/jumps on me/knocks me over I am just as injured.

best advice i ever got as a writer was to pick a hobby that i hated more than writing and stick with it. i’m a runner now and it’s miserable and i Hate It and writing is so lovely in comparison. bonus: i’m in excellent shape and running gives you a lot of time to think about writing. i’ve solved a lot of plot complications while running.

This is such funny advice. Writing is so excruciating, you gotta take up Self Torture so that writing feels like a fun little break 😭

eye-opening tumblr post for me included the words "people are meant to be burdens" as in humans rely on and support one another and it's not a bother it's our purpose; to love and be loved in return. so if you ever think you're being annoying just remember we were made to love and it's going to be okay
