maddie

Despite it's flaws I still love Tumblr. Pussy cunt cock and balls tits bitch fuck shit faggot dyke cunt cunt cunt. What other website could you post this on

I just don’t know how to tell a guy I need him to humiliate me/smack me around a little in bed so I can assert control over bad past experiences and re-contextualize them in a way that brings me pleasure and a feeling of power without scaring him off lol anyways just a Big Mac and a Diet Coke please

And a large fry for my good friend Natasha Bedingfield

Might mean nothing, idk.

so a very long time ago, my dad worked with an arson investigator

this guy was often one of the first people on the scene following a suspected arson, once emergency services had done what they needed to do. at times, there were also civilians on the periphery. often, they were freaking out, and understandably so; their home or workplace had just, quite literally, gone up in smoke

this investigator wouldn’t try to calm them down. he wouldn’t comfort them or be a shoulder to cry on.

instead, he’d walk up to the person most visibly losing their shit, hand them a fire extinguisher, and say “hey, can you keep an eye out for any other fires, and if you see one, can you put it out with this?”

of course, there was no actual risk of another fire. he wouldn’t be on the scene investigating if there was even a chance that the fire wasn’t completely put out. but the bystander didn’t need to know that

because that person, without fail, would immediately pull it together, take the fire extinguisher, and stand guard. they were, at least temporarily, calm enough for this investigator to do this job

my dad has told me the parable of the fire extinguisher a hundred times, and i think about it a lot. i think about what it says about people and crises. i think about what it says about the grounding power of having a purpose. and i think about the importance of letting someone help me through something, even if that help is just going to be another casserole to throw into the freezer, because useless or not, that fire extinguisher might be the only thing holding them together

This would have had me crucified on tumblr 10 years ago but maybe we are ready for this conversation now:

If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.

This is a PSA to about 3/4s of the Portland Youth populace

insane news, today a man in my city stole a bus and just. kept making all the stops.

the Assman rides again

an upstanding citizen of our great city

"autistic people need instructions for every simple task" okay how about we talk about the neurotypicals not following clear instructions. what do you mean it didn't work the way you wanted, i gave you the instructions. oh you didn't follow them? you didn't see where i clearly indicated the directions you were supposed to follow for this task? and you're shocked it didn't turn out right? you decided to pull a Jared I'm 19 and go rogue? you're surprised the road less travelled isn't fucking paved because no one travels it? do you get off on this

nice try but that doesn't work on me. appreciate the attempt tho <3

Anybody who has spent any time working in retail, hospitality or IT can tell you that a not-inconsiderable number of NT people cannot follow a fucking instruction if you wrote it down on a piece of paper and stapled it to their forehead

Going to the library tomorrow to find out if I'm allowed to print hypothetical boobs for the GG copybook I wanna do

Libraries don't fuck around when it comes to copyright law

the fact is, a decent amount of americans are more shocked and outraged by perceived homosexuality than child sex abuse. like that's why this whole thing is going down the way it is.

You know something that always jokerfied me in relation to this is the mainstream reaction to p diddy and how many people just flippantly admitted that this was the case for them

really hate the framing "ultraprocessed food is leading to increased colon cancer in young people". it's not technically incorrect, but the average person can gain next to nothing from reading that. what should be specified is lack of fiber. you'd be fine eating ultraprocessed food if you ate enough fiber, it just so happens that a lot of ultraprocessed food doesn't contain much fiber due to how the food is processed (to enhance taste and extend shelf life), which is why this correlation exists.

Oh my God???

Link to a way less sensationalized account. Calling a scarification artist a fetish artist doesn't sit right with me. It's like calling a tattoo artist a fetish artist. Yeah, some people are seeking this out as a fetish, but many people aren't

this is so embarrassing for her, seeing the clean cuts is insane. that body mod artist rocks tho, its a really cool design if you’re not using it to create fake polarizing political scenarios

this is me actually

So you're telling me the New York Times had incriminating evidence on Donald Trump from direct email correspondences with Jeffrey Epstein in 2015 and suppressed it.

Am I understanding this correctly?
