Awkward amount of white wool left, I’m gonna see if I have enough for an incredibly stupid project idea

Everyone in the notes thinks this yarn is a brain but I will continue to stand my ground and refuse to learn to take photographs properly

I didn’t see an organ, but I definitely was wondering why you put that pizza dough in a bag. Not to question your cooking practices or anything. I’m sure they are all perfectly normal.

My choice to take this photo in the kitchen to avoid startling Diesel with the IR focus on my camera (he was in my bedroom and HATES the camera) has backfired in hilarious ways. Nobody can help but see this as some kind of food.

I’m happy to believe you that this is yarn, but fucking heck, this is the most ominous photograph of yarn I have ever laid my sweet innocent eyes upon.

If this is true for you, you grew up in the greatest period of tech literacy. Which is awesome! Schools literally stopped teaching children the basics because there was a 10 year period where students did better than teachers, so it was a great spot to cut spending. Now, we have teachers who assume kids know technology, students who don’t have exposure to anything except their phones (Chromebooks are big phones from a software perspective, so a lot of free laptop programs double down on the problem), and a world of technology that they haven’t been exposed to.

Be the change, not the smug guy in the back saying “back in my day”.

#they’re not technicalities!#they’re the law!#cops say it’s a technicality because they didn’t do their due diligence#if a cop finds evidence in a place he shouldn’t have had access to without a warrant#and the case or that evidence gets tossed because of it#the cop and media will say it’s a technicality#but it’s not!#it’s a constitutional right they failed to adhere to!#and the penalty is that evidence which was found illegally can’t be used 

As usual, @socialjust-ish leaves the gold in the tags and it’s up to me to mine them.

Yeah, these are not “tricks” that defense attorneys are pulling they are assertions that your rights were violated

The thing is, this isn’t a secret.

I served on the jury for a murder trial a couple years ago. A video of the defendant’s police interrogation was played in court, during which the detective said several things to the defendant that were demonstrably not true.

When that same detective was brought up on cross-examination, the defense attorney asked her about one of the things she’d said on the tape. She replied immediately and forthrightly, “Oh, yes. That was a lie.”

“What else did you lie about?”

She listed several things she’d said in the interrogation – that the defendant’s DNA was found at the scene of the crime, that he’d been caught on camera dumping the victim’s car, etc – then said, “Okay, that’s everything.”

“Are you sure?”

“Oh, wait, there was one more. When I told him I liked him better than our other suspect and wanted to help him. That was also a lie.”

And then she smiled.

cant talk rn obsessed over the design concept of this 2017 production of pinocchio as a stage play where pinocchio is the only character played by a human actor and the rest of the cast are portrayed as puppets ,,,

A picture from National Theatre Live's 2017 production of Pinnochio. The scene where Pinnochio comes to life in Geppetto's wood shop. Pinnochio, portrayed by an actor, stands on the shop table wide-eyed and looking at Geppetto. Geppetto looks back at him with one hand raised in thought - here, Geppetto is a giant puppet made to look like a stylized human man. Multiple puppeteers hold the puppet up in its position. ALT
Another picture from the same production. A man stands in shadow stage left, watching marionettes dance. The marionettes all appear to be played by actors, but they are controlled by real ribbons that are connected to the grid of the stage above them, making them seem doll- and puppet-like. The man watching them is not a single performer, but rather a giant puppet made to look like a stylized man. Multiple puppeteers control his actions. ALT
Another picture from the same production. Pinnochio stands trapped in a small golden birdcage. He looks down at Jiminy Cricket, portrayed by a puppet which is controlled by two puppeteers. ALT
Another picture from the same production, of a similar puppet of another human character. ALT

like. how insanely poetic is this . you are a boy and you are made of wood but you know so entirely that you are more than wood, you are as human as anyone made of flesh and bone and it’s not your fault that you came into the world with sap running through your veins instead of blood. and your entire life you are searching the world for what it means to be human but the dramatic irony of it all is that none of them know how to be human either. you keep reaching out for humanity and they seem so big and powerful but they are just puppets of a greater design too performing for an audience you cannot see. and whether you know it or not you are more human than any of them even if they are convinced you are just wood and paint and magic. im on the floor .im losing my mind over here. gimme a second guys hold on. wait a minute guys wait a goddamn minute like. wahta a good fucking design concept. head in hands !

A four panel comic of Honeydew's mom, Hami, standing up for Honeydew. The comic is titled "A Rockin' Mom" and is made by Theresa Scovil.

Panel 1:
Honeydew, as a little child, rocks back and forth. Hami watches happily as another person comes up and says "You should really stop your child from rocking."
Panel 2:
Hami looks at the person, annoyed, and says "Why? Is the rocking going to set the place on fire? Cause an earthquake? Stop the earth from rotating?"
Panel 3:
Hami looks angry as they continue. "No? Then leave my child alone!"
Panel 4:
The person looks down at Honeydew, who's still rocking, and says "But it's weird."
Hami gives the person a very exasperated look.ALT

Please remember that some ADHDers cope with their traits by becoming efficient.

autistic-af:

Please remember that some ADHDers cope with their traits by becoming efficient.

My husband has combined ADHD, with very strong hyperactivity traits, executive function difficulties, strong time blindness, and memory issues.

To cope, he has become obsessed with being on time, writing everything down, sticking reminders everywhere etc. Not because it is a solution (it’s not, he’s rarely on time anywhere) but because years of trauma have made him terrified of forgetting.

He may have to go to the shops just to pick up some items. He will iron his clothes, be showered and dressed by 6am, but not go until 11am.

It looks like he’s being proactive. But he’s actually just scared himself into getting ready. He forgets his medications, to shower, to eat… Unless if there are consequences. Then he becomes a nervous wreck to simulate that he’s under control.

my life with ADHD

This is very true and a great post.

But low key makes me think about how people with adhd have been raised their whole lives to value a day based on what they accomplished vs what they experienced

I think your point is excellent. But also consider:

That list might say things like “Paint a picture. Go birdwatching. Finish that great novel I started reading. Call my grandma. Learn to bake a cake. Visit my sister. Play piano.”

For me at least, the good/fun things are harder without meds too. I can have the best intentions, but following through is hard.

This addition is so important.

*waves gun around wildly*

“BAN THOSE BOOKS FROM THIS BUILDING! YOU ARE DESTROYING AND INDOCTRINATING OUR KIDS.”

“Sir, we don’t even have those books in our catalogue.”

*awkward pause*

“Oh, We, uh, didn’t check for that.”

They don’t know how to check for it because they’ve never once interacted with a public library until they realized they could go to one with weapons drawn as an excuse to play out their weird toxic masculinity fantasy.

These people want books banned but haven’t read one since they were in elementary school.

BRUH

If anything this is just gonna make the library staff interested in getting those books

They’re achieving the opposite of their goals

This is like a cop coming into a school to tell a hundred kids DO NOT GET HIGH OFF PERMANENT MARKERS and teaching the kids for the first time that you can get high off permanent markers

Hey, here is some new frustrating discourse.

sirfrogsworth:

Hey, here is some new frustrating discourse.

I’m going to clear this up super duper quick.

And then we can move on and discuss more important things.

Okay?

Here goes…

Nicolas Cage is an incredible actor who is very bad with money so he has to act in terrible movies because otherwise they will repossess his dinosaur skull collection.

But even when he is in terrible movies with terrible writing he refuses to phone in his performances. And sometimes when you are acting your ass off while saying some of the dumbest dialogue ever conceived it can give the appearance the acting is the issue rather than the writing and story.

Hayden Christensen knows that feeling all too well.

So next time you see Nic Cage in a B movie acting a fool, just know he probably bought some new shrunken heads and forgot to pay the mortgage on his volcano island.
