Domestic science/home economics are such important fields to be taught in school. Everyone should know food safety, how to cook basic meals, do basic mending to clothing, budget a household, do laundry + understand clothing tags, clean a house etc. It is such an important foundation for life and something many kids never get and that’s not their fault. So many young adults move out on their own and have no clue how to take care of themselves because they were never taught how. I honestly believe it needs to be a core class for all students and especially male students.
even if your nervous system is shot to hell and you’re a reactive dog on a chain all the time you can spend several years retraining your nervous system (with the help of friends to practice Disagreeing With) and one day you can reach a point where getting Disagreed With doesn’t cause your whole entire bodybrain situation to implode messily. it’s super great. I recommend it
Like with real dog training, rewards >>>> punishments, and you learn best when you are well cared for
this is why I think it is so crucial to be able to Practice Disagreeing about relatively trivial subjects with safe and trusted friends and loved ones where you both know that’s what you’re doing and you are both actively and continually affirming that you love each other the whole time it’s like training wheels. I truly cannot recommend finding friends to Practice Disagreeing with enough.
you can search anything on here and get completely unrelated x reader fanfics. you could search up rainbow trout and it would only take a few scrolls before you hit the Jung Kook BTS x f!reader exhibitionist kink fic
people in the tags talking about how x readers are a plague on this website no NO!! this is about tumblr’s god awful search system!! these fics are meticulously tagged but because the fic had the words “rainbow” and “trout” in it in completely seperate paragraphs, tumblr shows it to me anyway!!!

We talk a lot about “if you’re sick stay home from work” but I feel like we also have a lot more control over “If you’re sick stay away from that social function.”
If you’re sick, stay away from that social function.
If you’re almost sick, and going to this social function is going to wear you out and probably push you over the line into actually sick, you should probably stay away from that social function and get some rest.
If your kids are sick, don’t drag them to the function. Stay home. Put a funny movie on. We do not need to perpetuate this culture. We do not need to have our kid’s cold turn into Grandma’s pneumonia just to keep up appearances. We do not need to have our kid’s cold turn into 20 other kids’ colds just to participate in a craft at the library that you could easily replicate at home by googling for 2 seconds.
genuinely and i’m so tired specifically of parents acting like kids with colds is like, baseline healthy. all the time adults who know i’m immunodeficient invite me over and when i ask if the house is healthy they say yes! and neglect to mention that actually their toddler is sneezing up green snot and their 6 year old has a cough. this happens all. the. time.
i know it’s normal for kids to have gunk all the time (although i do think we should take children’s immune health more seriously too but that’s another post)
and i love spending time with children and i get it sucks to have to raincheck every time your kid catches another bug but if your kid is sick you need to tell me. and if your kid is sick i don’t want to hang out with you one on one until your kid is better because you might have it too more mildly. i need to know if anyone in your household is sick and for some reason a lot of people think that doesn’t include kids.
sure we need to protect grandma ofc! but some of us are 32 and also prone to pneumonia. so unless you plan on covering my hospital bills, just reschedule!!
They should have definitely done something like this in the film. Sadly, it probably wouldn’t add up but still a cool concept, no?
ALSO: Not my usual art style but I wanted to mimic the kind of style the movie portraits had, taking inspiration by Frankelda’s picture in the book of spooks series and Procustos’s…
