One of my darlings is having a difficult time, oh, most of the time, and not much I say or do helps because she’s not wrong in that many things suck so much and are unfixable in her life currently.

So (out of desperation) I told her I wanted her to come up with one good thing that happened for every class she had at school. (Do I know what the hell I’m talking about? No. But I’m all we’ve got.) I expected this to work … not at all.

(Kids mean well, generally, but like other humans they forget or lose the paper and so on, and it’s hard to build a habit out of nothing with intermittent reinforcement.)

But, but I’m wrong! This child has shown up every afternoon to show me her list of good for the day. It’s not always much, but I guess it’s enough to make her write a new one the next day, and keep her looking for the good in the day after that.

That’s my good for the day. I hope you have some. I hope it’s worth writing down.

#sometimes humans are just… *so good*

some cute things i'd love to experience now that it's cold:

someone holding my hand in their pocket to keep it warm

them hugging me with their coat

rubbing our cold noses against each other

drinking hot beverages together

cuddling under a bunch of blankets

baking little treats and having the kitchen smell really good

fairy lights

leaving footprints in the snow

kissing even though our lips are really cold

rubbing their hands and blowing on them to get them warm

Happy birthday to AO3 🎂🎉

[image of the buttons at the bottom of an AO3 work. A new button is shown next to the kudos button. The new button reads "Second Kudos" and in place of the heart there is a Twitter verified checkmark]

if AO3 is looking for a new funding model, I don't know about you but I'd probably pay $8/mo to be able to leave second kudos

credit to @pie1313 for the idea ❤️

"Shut up."

Steve might know what he wants now but that doesn't mean he isn't allowed to be a bit nervous at first

It kind of bugs me that Tumblr has seized upon “taking everything literally” as the Defining Neurodivergent Experience™ – not only because it’s actually pretty uncommon, but also because it’s erasing an enormous variety of other frequent communication style issues, including but not limited to:

Having your brain stubbornly seize upon the first interpretation that happens to pop into your head as the Only Possible Interpretation, regardless of whether it’s literal or figurative  

Easily identifying several possible interpretations of a statement, but having absolutely no ability to parse for context and identify which of those interpretations is most plausible  

Being confronted with a statement that has Implications, then getting thrown for a loop when it turns out that the speaker wasn’t considering any of that and really did just mean it literally  

Perfectly understanding a statement’s intended meaning, but getting annoyed with the speaker anyway because they didn’t phrase it Correctly, seriously, are you the only person here who gives a shit about the goddamn Rules?

#gaaaahhhh #yes yes yes to all of those and also here’s to constant frustration with self and others finally having a description
