I'm very tired of this "queer college students should stop supporting Palestine, they'd kill you there!" I watched a hijabi ask a trans man, "but what name do you want to go by?" A butch giving a woman their hoodie so that she could keep her hair covered after the cops took her scarf. Muslim girls making sure the lesbian couple got through the system together. Religious men making sure green haired protestors got out safe. A Palestinian girl with an ex-southern baptist fiance, who definitely isn't a practicing Muslim, whose parents were raising hell for her. I don't want to hear it. Solidarity forever, free Palestine.

unsolicited parenting advice of the day tell your kids what to expect! If your two year old is anxious about when dad is going to get home from work, teach him to recognize what patterns indicate that dad is coming home soon! After lunch we will do an activity and then clean and THEN dad will get home. Listen when the calendar day starts with an S dad does not have to go to work!!

and if something goes wrong and today does NOT go according to the plan your little guy expects, tell him!! Hey, dad has to go to work after all today, but he will be home after lunch! Today dad has to get groceries after work, so he’ll be home later than normal. But he will return with more bananas! Focus on the positives too, give them things they can understand. Don’t just say “not today,” they understand the concept of grocery stores and unexpected trips. Just tell them the problem. You’d hate being in the dark about everything that happens to you also. Let them control their situation, even if it’s just their own emotions and expectations.

or even! Teach them to read an analogue clock! Let me tell you, church nursery in the 1.5-3.5 age group got so much less stressful and anxious for EVERYONE when I taught my kids how to read the clock. They don’t have to ask me anymore how much time is left and fish for answers I can’t give them. They know that their guardians will come for them when the long stripe on the clock touches the 2, and that if they aren’t there then then they’re LATE and they get to hold this over their parents head. Because they know their parents can be late. And they LOVE knowing when this has occurred. There is so much less anxiety.

anyway explain stuff to your kids, they want to know. This has been an unsolicited parenting advice PSA

I thrifted this little framed black and white portrait of a smiling elderly lady yesterday and like. It definitely feels like it's haunted. I don't mean in an esoteric way, I mean that I look at that smile and I wonder what her story was and where she got that blouse and who wrote her name on the back of the photograph and how she died and what she would've said if she'd known her portrait would end up in my little curiosity shelf.

its honestly fucking amazing what gumball could do with its nonhuman cast. The paper girl who protected herself from infection by sealing herself in a school binder? the cactus who couldnt cry because she kept retaining water? The fuckin piece of bread who kept dying and was always replaced by his family by toasting a new son? the species of balloons with invisible organs? gumball consistently forgetting he has claws? 2d videogame characters with less keyframes? everything about penny? fucking inspired

Mushrooms grow out of shadow, wetness, and spite. Sometimes corpses also. When earth that's shaded gets wet, it grows mushrooms out of spite. But no amount of shade or wet will grow mushrooms if the ground has no spite in it. Unless there's a corpse.
