Listen, I’m 40, I am a grown-ass lady, and I just went to Disneyland with two of my other grown-ass lady friends. It’s the second time we’ve gone in a year, and it was GREAT. The most annoying part was the 5 year old who had not been taught about boundaries or inside voices who was sitting at the next table during our very fancy grown-ass lady lunch.

And it’s not for them, it’s for you.  They won’t remember a thing; you’ll get the cute pictures.  How about taking cute pictures somewhere that doesn’t cost a mortgage payment and make your child miserable?

gothiccharmschool:

Don’t get me wrong, I like kids, but if Disneyland had some sort of blackout dates where no kids were allowed, I’d pay the no-doubt hefty ticket price to go at least once.

And an opinion that I know makes some parents REALLY angry: there is no point in taking babies or toddlers to a theme park. Theme parks are  overwhelming and involve long lines. No infant or toddler I’ve ever known has coped well with those things.

7 depression tips and why they work, from someone

hi so im recovering from a really mean depression and there are some things i learned and that i would like to tell you. 

1. you need to reappropriate your space and time. depression is lying to you and generally shrinks your living space (aka: you spend your time in bed/behind your computer/in your room…). visit and do something (even if its just scrolling down social media) in each room you have access to. expand your perception and space, you’ll breathe more easily.

2. plan depression outfits. a depression outfit is a comfy one you still can go out in. to me, it’s old ripped jeans and a turtleneck, my old work uniforms, sweaters. dressing up is one of the most important parts of managing depression. first of all, you’ll feel less like pathetic with proper clothes on (nothing worse than staying in your pj all day). secondly, and it’s a crucial point: it allows you to get out to run some errands. imagine you have to go grocery shopping or to the post office. if you’re in your unwashed pajamas you’ve been wearing for three days or more (been there done that) what you have to do is to undress, shower (if you can), and put on real, clean clothes. which is three things. depression messes wih one’s ability to start things, so it’s very likely you’ll drop your errands and just stay at home feeling like shit. but if you’re already wearing clothes, you just have to put on a coat and get out of the house. which is, trust me, 10 times easier than doing the whole dressing up thing.

3. it’s okay if you stay the whole day in bed but force yourself to get up in the morning (anytime before noon) and drink a glass of water/juice. again, depression messes up with your ability to start doing things, but if you concentrate your will to just get up and drink something before going back to bed, i promise you’ll feel less shitty and might actually end up getting up for good since you’ve been through the trouble of getting up. You’ll feel better (and also you need water!)

4. do one (1) physical, material thing that will improve your life conditions per day. aka: washing a single glass, scrubbing the mirror, etc. you’ll feel proud of yourself, and the tidiest your environment, the less shitty your brain will be. plus, again: if you manage to wash a single dish, maybe you’ll find yourself cleaning the whole kitchen without noticing. and thats a good thing. no pressure: just do one single thing. and don’t beat yourself up if you can’t, of course, but try, it’s gonna be better that way. 

5. open the window (especially at night, i personally find it very soothing) and just… breathe fresh air, looking at the horizon or closing your eyes, and breathe in and out slowly. it’s great to take fresh air. bonus if you have anxiety/ptsd, honestly. opening the windows is one of the easiest ways i know to stop a panic attack.

6. brush your teeth everyday, even if it’s the only thing you manage to do. i know every depression guide recommends it, but it’s really important. not showering for a few days is okay, you’re not gonna get sick that way. but dental hygiene is capital. not to mention you’ll feel less rotting in the inside if you’re less rotting in the outside. you can use your phone to schedule your teeth brushing of the day! really helps. 

7. think about your hobbies and force yourself to do something related to an old hobby of yours. i know it’s no fun. i know you can’t feel anything, so why bother? but really, do bother. do it and eventually as you recover it will be fun again. you haven’t lost your passion, your goals, your motivation. it’s still there, but depression is like a blanket that covers it all. forcing yourself to still act on your hobbies (especially if those are not screen-related: books, gardening, etc.) will help digging through the depression layers to expose your will to live again. trust me on this one. i really thought i was just an apathetic mess, but actually depression was just mean. i believe in you! 

and finally: hold tight and it’s gonna be okay! recovery is possible, and it’s gonna arrive sooner than you expect. energy and motivation are good things and they’re still around here waiting for you! 

feel free to add your own! you’re all gonna make it i promise.

The advice about dental care is really important. I’ve recovered from my depression, but I still have trouble remembering to brush my teeth because I got out of the habit while I was depressed.

Oh I needed this today

Brush your teeth queens

WHERE’S THE SOURCE, OP??????

This is Clanadonia

What the video doesn’t quite capture is that when you’re this close, their drumming feels kind of like being punched in the chest. When they’re playing on the street like this, every other busker in a 500m radius just goes and has a tea break, because there’s no point in trying to be heard over Clanadonia.

More favourite tropes:

A bureaucratic institution has established forms and procedures for an extraordinarily unlikely event

A character saves the day using a skill they have no excuse for knowing, which they claim to have learned through a mundane hobby or profession

Explaining something patently absurd in a very matter-of-fact way, particularly while referring to the person receiving the explanation as “sir”

A specific object or substance that’s needed to overcome a great danger proves to have been on hand all along in an unrecognised form

A janitor, plumber, or other tradesperson reveals that they’re already aware of some esoteric threat and have dealt with it before

An existential threat is accidentally averted in the course of dealing with an unrelated and much less serious problem

indecisofan replied:

Can you prety prety please do more of these i love them.

I’ve done like a million of ‘em already. A few past highlights:

Shipping tropes

Size/scale tropes

Tabletop RPG tropes

Dialogue meme tropes

Weirdly specific tropes

Characterisation tropes

Incongruity-based tropes

Over/understatement tropes

When I saw ‘shipping tropes’ my first thought was ‘tropes about the transport of goods’. Not sure what this says about me.

Favourite shipping tropes:

A courier shows up to deliver an addressed parcel to an unlikely location – e.g., on the Moon – with no clear indication of how they got there

A postal worker casually evades or shrugs off various perils because Neither Rain Nor Snow Nor Et Cetera.

A character is asked to sign for delivery of an extremely large number of something no reasonable person would ever need nearly that many of

Enormous shipping containers that, when opened, prove to contain a single very small item

A parcel service is contracted to deliver an item at a specific time and place decades or centuries hence and actually follows through

A protagonist saves on transport or infiltrates a secure location by mailing themselves in a large crate

Being tasked to deliver a box with strict instructions not to open it, and – of course – opening it to discover something that Changes Everything™

A perilous or emotionally fraught confrontation interrupted by an indifferent postal worker looking for a signature

A character accidentally falls into an open shipping container moments before it’s sealed for transport and is sent to some remote locale

Address label mixups, particularly when it’s implausible that one of the parties involved would have a posted mailing address

I made these as a present for my sister: Hijinks from the cats we adopted years ago. Some of them are a little in-jokey but I bet any cat owner has seen at least a few of these!

Happy holidays!

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE but especially Bath Battle, The Outside World, and Chirp.

Ok maybe not Bath Time, but they did take turns pushing each other into the bath for a while there.
