i read the sentence “abusers groom their character witnesses as carefully as they groom their victims” (in a comment thread in response to a “but i know [the accused] and hes such a nice man!!”) and it’s blowing my mind a weird amount even though i guess i already knew that
“Babies only cry if they are hungry, need changing, or need to be picked up”
Lies
Babies (and small children) also cry for reasons such as:
1. “I am tired and that makes me angry”
2. “I scared myself with a fart”
3. “You are the wrong parent”
4. “I ran into something with my face”
5. “I’m facing the opposite direction then the one I want to”
6. “I fell asleep in one place and woke up somewhere completely different”
7. “I am a very small person in a very big world”
8. “I got scared because YOU farted”
Babies have more then 3 states of being and sometimes you just have to hold them and bounce them gently while saying solemnly “yes it is very hard to be a baby” because frankly it is
you have to remember that when you’re that tiny… pretty much any bad thing that happens to you is LITERALLY the WORST thing that has ever happened in your life. they have no perspective. everything is awful. help them
So I just got off the phone with a few different veterinarians and they’ve all recommended that I get blood work and x-rays done for Minion. However, because of an incident that happened back in December I will not have the money to pay $250 right now so I’m asking for help if anyone can donate I’d greatly appreciate it. I hate coming on tumblr and asking for help again but Minion is important to me and I’m not above putting her safety against my pride or ego.
My PayPal is supernaturalpokemon@gmail.com
I don’t care if this seems or sounds desperate. I care about my dog a lot and just want her to be okay.
Thank you to everyone who has been sending me their thoughts and prayers.
the real “problem with political correctness” is not that it’s considered offensive to use slurs, but that there are now many “progressive” environments where saying the right things is more important than doing the right thing. it’s why it’s so easy for abusers to gain traction in leftist circles (they learn the right words quickly and employ them to frame their own behavior as progressive); it’s why so much potential activist energy gets poured into fighting about language; it’s why moderate liberals didn’t believe fer/guson had a problem until the police emails with actual racist language were leaked. (you can do racist things, you just can’t SAY racist things.) i don’t have a neat conclusion here but a related point is that i’m so much happier since i started focusing on like, being a good kind caring person instead of trying to remove the word “crazy” from the vocabulary of everyone in my family
Oh for fffffff-no, no I am not creating crystal discourse. I’ve had it the fuck up to here with other holistics breathing down my neck for months. Drink your fucking “mineral water”. It’ll probably still taste better than kool-aid.
It’s $80 per bottle. What the entire fuck.

can someone,,, Explain why this is bad
(anyone, really)
It’s not gonna HURT you
But if you want a bottle of water with a rock in it you can buy a bag of polished quartz or rose quartz or smokey quartz for, like, $10 and throw a rock in a thermos of water WITHOUT paying $80 a bottle.
Oh god I went to their website because I wanted to see what was up an
1. At least they strictly use varieties of quartz, which is inert in water.
2. The Citrine quartz bottle is sold out.
3. THEY SOLD OUT OF $80 BOTTLES WITH ROCKS IN THEM THAT THEY CLAIM WILL HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT
From their website
Citrine is the crystal of manifestation. This golden, yellowish calming stone encourages fullness of life, fresh beginnings, and new pursuits. Its frequency increases and awakens creativity and imagination. Often called The Merchant’s Stone; Citrine is a crystal of abundance and manifestation used to attract wealth, prosperity, and all things good. It also encourages generosity and sharing. Citrine is prized as a weight loss stone for its ability to increase mindfulness of the body and recognition of internal hunger cues in the body.
Bolding is mine.
Also,
Our namesake SOJI, was born from the ancient spiritual practice called Soji. Soji is a Zen word relating to the practice of “Temple Cleansing.”
The practice is simple. After morning meditation, all members are assigned a basic cleaning task on the Temple grounds (Sweep the hallway, clean the walls, polish the windowpanes). After about 20 minutes the work leader rings a bell signaling the end of all work. If the hallway is half swept, if the walls are not complete, if the only 5 of the 15 windowpanes are polished – it does not matter, as the “destination” or “completion” is not the intention. The goal was not to complete the task, but to be present during the task.
Approaching everyday tasks the Soji way redirects our energies not towards the future goal, but into the present process. It reminds us that life is not about finishing, but more simply about doing. If we adopt the mindset to own the present journey rather than the elusive destination we may be more mindful and grateful.
FELLOW WHITE PEOPLE WE NEED TO HAVE A FUCKING TALK
Easy if not super quick solution for tonight. (And probably lunch tomorrow too.)
I used some veggie broth and Lebanese 7-spice in this batch, which turned out tasty.
The lentils I was using always take a while to cook, so I let them simmer for about 20 minutes before adding the rice and letting it all go for an hour. The extra cooking shouldn’t be necessary for most lentils, but it probably wouldn’t hurt anyway.
Just using green onions on top was tempting, but I was glad I did go ahead and fry some onion instead. It does add a lot of flavor.
I was planning to make a cucumber and tomato salad to go with it, but that will have to wait for later because I ran totally out of energy. Not bad on its own, though.
Who the fuck calls the police on someone for napping anywhere on a college campus??? (I know, white people) People sleep in all sorts of places on campus.
So when will all these calls start turning into fines and charges for false reports
Never, because they can always claim reasonable suspicion, given that racial profiling has basically been held up by all levels of the government except that one judge in NYC
This is terrorism, concerted efforts to make PoC unwelcome and unsafe should they dare set foot somewhere white people have claimed as their’s alone. Expect to see much more copycatting.
