I’m so emotional about dinosaur stuffed animals,,, there are these creatures, extinct long before any of us were alive, but we found their bones and their eggs and their footprints. And we made drawings and models of what they could’ve looked like. And we made them into stuffed animals so we could hold them. We made them soft so we could love them. I’m sobbing

Me when I remember something I said ages ago that was wrong or my values no longer align with

saw this thread and really loved it but what i liked most is that it taught this kid that if a book isn’t for you, even if you really want to like it, it’s okay to stop reading it and come back to it another time when you are ready. there were so many books i slogged through as a kid because i felt like i had to prove that i could read them since i *loved* reading so i simply had to finish this book or i didn’t actually love to read. silly, really. the more kids who don’t ascribe to that thinking the better. really great of both the dad and the librarian for giving the kid access to the stephen king book and allowing him make the decision on whether or not it was for him by himself.

I shall be drawing the results when the poll ends, also maybe if enough people vote on this it'll motivate me to make more wizard audios

at work the other day this nice older woman asked me what pronouns i use and it caught me extremely off guard bc no one there had asked me that and i was also not expecting to have a conversation with her in the first place and i said I used they/them and she was like Ahh that’s nice i love that good for you :) and i just had a little spring in my step the rest of the day bc it was just a pleasant interaction. the thing is though. I do Not use they/them i use she/her. i just panicked in the moment and said the wrong answer

and whatever the current percentages are at, use this cmy slider to calculate the color you got

“i love you”

— ❌ boo, lame, predictable, no impact

“one life spent with you, is all that i could wish for”

— ✅ tear breaker, changes lives, romantic, bears their heart and soul, genuine, impactful

one of the biggest things i believe to be true about relationships is that you must make it feel safe for the people you love to call you out on shit. like obviously don’t let anyone emotionally manipulate or terrorize you but in general, in healthy adult relationships, there is always a pattern of rupture/repair. someone does something (unintentionally!) that makes someone else feel not great, and it needs to be addressed. the best thing you can do to preserve and improve your interpersonal relationships is to be open to these conversations. you have to be able to hear how your words or actions have affected someone, even if it absolutely wasn’t your intention, and you have to be able to simply acknowledge and apologize. it doesn’t matter if you didn’t see it that way. someone you love did, and they care enough to tell you, and that’s a gift. be grateful for the opportunity to do better.

WELL HELLO THERE ROBOT LIKER COMMUNITY. welcome to the robot swag competition

submit your nominations here!

(this was directly inspired by others such as @/nonbiney-swag-competition and @/autismswagsummit!)

RULES AND NOTES:

contest will be held in the traditional tournament bracket format, with (hopefully) fair match ups that don't pit the most iconic robots out there with mr. literally who tf are you.

i will TRY MY BEST to get said match ups right but i MIGHT fuck it up. if so i'm sorry

robot swag being included in the title does not necessarily mean the robot has to have swag. the robot in question could be the most pathetic wet cat you've ever seen, and they could contest here. this is just for robots in general!

if you need to ask "does this character count as a robot?" when submitting a nomination, the answer is probably yes. don't think about it too hard

polls will last 24 hours each!

i made this contest with FICTIONAL robots in mind, but real ones can be included too!

i'll likely be restricting things to one robot per media, sorry for anyone who wanted glados vs wheatley action!

as for contestants, i'll mostly let the public decide, but i might sneak in a few of my own nominations! i've got 32 slots to fill, so get nominating!

hope everyone has fun! i'll update this blog as things move along. make sure to spread this around if you can so more people can see it <3
