when i look up a knitting term, the last thing I want is an ai overview. I want a 60+ year old woman with no understanding of lighting or helpful camera angles who still manages to give the most concise and clear explanation of how to execute purl 2tog through the backloop. ai summary fuck off, where is phyllis?

you have to put in the work to get a hypervigilant parentified former child to relax around you and becomes just some goofy little guy: you can’t fake it, they pick up on it instantly, you have to actually be a consistent and trustworthy human being who takes care of their shit. then it’s like the years of parentification and exploitation and objectification fall away from them on the spot: they get softer, they show their emotions more, you can see the kid they used to be before they weren’t allowed to anymore, and you get to drop your own parentification and history of exploitation and abuse and be a kid with them like equals.

so i wore a pride flag pin to work the other day and the kids were all interested (obviously) (find me a classroom of preschoolers who are not obsessed with rainbows) (i'll wait) so they crowded around to see.

"aww!" they said, "it's a flag!!"

but the thing is: they're little. a lot of them don't really have a handle on all their mouth sounds yet.

such as, notably, that tricky tricky "L" sound.

I'm keeping an eye out for heat stroke in my area and I can't figure out what a full body flush would look like on dark skin since all the pictures are just fake training pictures. Anyone have video/pics of a heat stroke flush on black skin?

coworker: hey you should come look at the results of a ph test for a customer’s water

me: I’m king of busy rn

coworker: no really just come here

the ph test:

my honest reaction:

It’s definitely not “do whatever you want bc nobody cares” it’s somewhere between “people don’t care as much as you think they do” and “if you want to truly do what you want you have to not care about how much other people care”

I’d like to live through a week that’s not a whole new verse of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”

[s3dgy]

When my mother gets into facebook fights with her childhood friends who grew up to be racists, she passive-aggressively fucks with them by making a donation to a local refugee assistance organization in the name of their immigrant grandmothers, a donation large enough that they get a card from the organization saying so.   She passive aggressively fucks with the same demographic of friends who #bluelivesmatter by commenting with details about the various petty crimes they committed together as teens, e.g. “Wow Joey, where was all the respect for blue lives when we hotboxed your uncle’s patrol car?” 

And obviously both these approaches are specific to former juvenile delinquent turned UMC babyboomer but it feel still inspirational in that we can all find our own chaotic good pettiness niche.

It's nice to get good news about trans rights for once

[s3dgy]

like put simply the fact we had and somewhat still have people who were nonbinary/trans and then decided they didn’t like a set of pronouns after all or the effects of their hormones and decided to stop while still feeling dysphoria and still identifying as nonbinary/trans but deciding to call themselves detrans due to changing their presentation and this was treated as a normal thing to make room for was so wild. comparisons fail because it’s just crazy. imagine being a femme lesbian and realizing you’re not really into butches so you start calling yourself an ex-gay despite currently having a femme girlfriend
