It had to be done.

So this happened this morning:

Driving my dog to the park to walk, some cruisers flew by me, lights and sirens on. I walked the dog and, driving home over the bridge, saw two cruisers blocking the lane. I went around them, and when I got to the front end of the first one, could see people standing on the bridge, holding onto something that was dangling over the edge. A couple civilians, a couple officers. Then, the thing they were struggling to keep from falling, fell, and the woman standing on the bridge screamed.

I told myself, "Maybe it was a dog who got through the railings and fell."

The officers ran scrambling for the bank of the river, and I pulled my car over to assess whether there was something I could do. I had no access to the area, and the police were running all around, so I drove away.

Another man who was a witness (I assumed) was also walking away, speaking frantically into his phone. I asked him what had just happened, and he yelled angrily at me, "My girlfriend just DIED, that's what happened!" I felt horrible and traumatized by having just witnessed a suicide.

Only... my boss told me a local police officer said it was not a death, but just a police pursuit. And a later news article confirmed that a man had been fleeing from police and had jumped into the river, sustained minor injuries, been checked at the hospital and then arrested.

So, you are asking yourself, "Why did that guy tell you his girlfriend just died!?"

And, I think perhaps he was just being a dick... maybe irritated that he had seen the same traumatic thing I had, and didn't want to talk to a stranger about it.

OR...

Maybe he was just a random guy walking down the street, unaware of the bridge scene, whose girlfriend HAD JUST DIED. And a complete stranger drove up to him and parked her car and ASKED HIM WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED!

Anyway, morning rating: 3/10 Did not enjoy. Too much drama.

Your tongue knows exactly how everything you look at will feel. Try it! Look at the table leg. You know what it will feel like if you lick it. Imagine licking a football. Or the couch. Whether you have or haven't actually licked these things, when you imagine it, your tongue knows. It knows.

this actually makes me super resentful that my fingers don’t know what things taste like

Well, this is the author of "Photograph." It's gotten a nice bit of attention over the last few days, so thanks ever so much for your rec. (I had truthfully forgotten I wrote it, and had to look it up to see what it was about!!)

Hi! It's me again ^-^'' I wan wondering if you know any fics in which Sherlock dies because Mary shoot him... :") I need super angst and regrets and unresolved sexual tension and John leaving Mary after somehow finding out she was the shooter. I want to torture myself =)) Thank you so much ❤

Hey Lovely!

Ahh, sadly, I don’t know of any fics where Sherlock permanently dies because of Mary… I can’t do angst lately so I tend to avoid anything remotely having a sad ending or “they’re not together” endings, LOL.

Anyone know of any fics that they would like to suggest?

Sorry to laugh, but... as a VERY OLD person (for Tumblr), y'all are OK-Boomering yourselves to kids who are like 5 years younger than you.

not 2 be controversial on main but i think it’s pretty sad the first major generation to grow up online is projecting their adolescent self-hatred onto the “cringe” generation of tiktokkers

What could go wrong…

I teach middle school, and have seen sexualization of kids' clothing wax and wane. There was a period, circa 2000, that was the WORST: we took kids on a field trip, and one girl had a micro-skirt on, and the wind blew it up, and she was wearing no underwear. (This was a Britney Spears/Paris Hilton "style" girls were imitatinng.)

Typically, now, girls are wearing their hair in ponytails, with jeans and sweatshirts and Vans. Very gender neutral. Much like it was in these vintage Lego ads.

Pay attention, 2014 Mad Men: This little girl is holding a LEGO set. The LEGOs are not pink or “made for girls.” She isn’t even wearing pink. The copy is about “younger children” who “build for fun.” Not just “girls” who build. ALL KIDS.

In an age when little girls and boys are treated as though they are two entirely different species by toy marketers, this 1981 ad for LEGO — one of our favorite images ever — issues an important reminder.

This is NOT TRUE:

WARNING!!!!

People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.

Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.

My school was still doing it until about 5 or 10 years ago. Pain in the neck for the district, with liability laws the way they are now. Also hard to justify how it "improves test scores" for the district. (::Sigh::)

If you’re American will you reblog this with where you grew up and wether or not they had sixth grade camp. I grew up in southern California and every class in sixth grade would take a field trip and go to a camp for a week and this is absolutely bewildering my wife cause she’s never heard of sixth grade camp

Yes, yes, yes!!

Sometimes, my favorite musical artists move from writing about the tiny - this one girl with the sock that keeps falling down - and try to write about LOVE instead.

I HATE those songs that try to speak to really big themes. Boring. Lectury. Bleah.

Oh, yes... took me maybe 3 tries and I gave up. Now I get a cart if I'm literally only buying milk.

Side note: a shopping cart serves as a protective barrier against close physical contact with other shoppers and store clerks.
