Self-Saboteur

i'm sorry I just burst out laughing because WHAT????????

"Are you respecting boundaries out of love or punishment?" This is a video about respecting boundaries of estranged children without framing it as the pain of your abscence being the punishment for walking away from you and towards somewhere that feels safe.

People on tumblr loooove to talk about restorative justice and abolition when it’s a nebulous concept. It’s lovely to think about someone growing and changing and trying to reckon with the harm they caused but when some people actually see that person, they can’t handle it. God forbid someone says “I did something awful and I don’t want people to hurt others the way I did.” Do you just expect every shitty person to magically disappear from the earth? Do you want them to pretend it never happened?

fuck marry befriend kill: operator addition

ideal types of meals:

adhd will get you thinking "i should make this doctors appointment" every day for 7 months and counting

none of us are making those appointments huh

"You big into Okami?" Don't even joke lad

Nothing slapped my shit back into place like someone pointing out that the "genius gifted child with so much potential who got burnout and mental illness" is just the nerd equivalent to the jock "could have been a pro at sportsball if it wasn't for the injury".

say whatever you want about tumblr, but more and more it's feeling like one of the last places on the internet where you can still be irreverent about bad things happening to people who got exactly what they'd been putting out in the world.

Reddit is etiquette-moderated to the gills ever since its IPO. Twitter gets you hounded by nazis and fired from your job. Bluesky is the same as Twitter but maybe with half as many nazis. Tiktokkers can't even say the word kill without getting scared. Every mainstream media outlet will have you believing the victims were saints. It's making me insane. It feels insane, everywhere else I look beside the blue hellscape.

Crab rave. Crab rave. Crab rave. Officer fucking down.

interesting to me how she doesn't have a twilight form.

Translation: As far as we're concerned, we dun it, but we refuse to admit to that in any way that will stand up in a court of law.

"Yeah, we did it. And don't fuck with us or you're next bitch."

wolfy

More of this

yeah actually we removed the big bad wolf from the little red riding hood story because portraying violence against minors is really messed up. yeah. yeah also the wolf narrative was really predatory and had had some icky grooming vibes and a fable meant for literal children shouldn’t have implied p*do shit and grape so now little red riding hood goes into the woods and nothing happens and she goes to grandma’s house. don’t worry our kids will still stick to the path and know not to follow to wolves implicitly because we told them to and children should always do as their told. just like little red riding hood does now.

Omg! This is beautiful

yk what I love? that the first text we have written by a woman in England was a Roman woman inviting her best friend to her birthday

it’s from Claudia Severa to Sulpicia Lepidina and dated to around 97-105 AD. I find it so comforting to know that even almost 2000 years ago people had friendships like these and wanted to spend their birthday together.

We aren’t so different from each other after all

Happy Birthday Claudia Severa!!!!!!

lmao

It’s not just that the leaves will break down on their own (and enrich the soil while they’re at it!). During the winter, all sorts of insects use leaf litter for shelter, and they’re the first food available to larvae in early spring. Leaves also insulate the plants under them during the winter, which is important if you’re in an area prone to frost heaving.

One of the best thing you can do for native pollinators in your area is Leave the Leaves!

My mom stopped raking her leaves when she found out about this but her neighbor used his leaf blower to clear out her yard the first year she decided to try. So she started posting a Leave the Leaves sign in the yard each year with an explanation about why it’s good and two winters later only one house still rakes their lawn each year.

We’ve seen a dramatic increase in the biodiversity in the neighborhood since. We have birds that we haven’t seen since we moved into the city from living rurally and those birds are starting to nest in the trees and gardens in spring. The swallows and bats are back at night. The single woodpecker we would only occasionally see visits daily and even has a friend that has joined it. We have more squirrels and rabbits and shockingly fewer moles and voles. We heard an owl outside last fall.

Leave the leaves indeed.

"kung pow penis," a phrase commonly used in reblogs to indicate utter disdain for OP, has twelve letters, each of which (traditionally) must be supplied by a different user. the unanimity of disdain indicated by these twelve unrelated users has strong parallels to the requirement of unanimity for a jury—also traditionally of twelve—to arrive at a verdict. in this essay i will
