Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️

Reblog to have your dashboard be visited by the spirit of joy that death can end but not erase.

Love that this is well beyond 7000 people now and still going

@leavescrown Exactly! It’s a beautiful gift. Martin and Bosco out there travelling around the Tumblr community, continually making new friends.

Martin! Bosco!

Same little girl who gets the close- up when the dragon first approaches. Her shield is upside down, her sword is bent and nearly broken, and she looks terrified and near tears... and she charges.

I feel like there's very little stepping stone media for kids now--it's very safe shows like Bluey and Paw Patrol right into adult content. There aren't those cartoons like Avatar or even the old school Disney like Duck Tales where the antagonists present a real danger, even if they never really cause permanent harm. Spiderman and the Avengers used to save the world, and now Spidey and Friends basically do "No Swiper, no Swiping!!" level work exclusively. Villains like Gaston and Scar with evil intentions have given way to familial/internal conflicts with no real danger--there's way more Encantos and Inside Outs than there are even Zootopias in current media. Not that there isn't a place for those, but yeah, kids want to see the scary dragons and see them defeated. It'd be better to have age appropriate villains and danger instead of letting 4-year-olds watch 5 Nights at Freddys, which is what happens when that need isn't met.

I am making them watch Homeward Bound right now so they can be sad and scared but happy at the end.

They were so sad during the head fake with Shadow at the end and then when he came over the hill they jumped up and down and yelling “SHADOW CAME BACK! SHADOW CAME BACK!” and I’m sitting here trying not to happy cry.

As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.

Y'all know what to do Tumblr.

God did win the election for Trump, but for what purpose? His ways are indeed mysterious

I wish they could invent a medical device that temporarily transfers your symptoms and pain to the doctor treating you and it worked like a shock collar. “I think light exercise would-.” and then bam they’re rolling around the floor clutching their stomach in agony and dry heaving.

interesting that you want to use it as a form of revenge, rather than use if for a really good way to help them diagnose better.

apparently my boss who is a professor at my school doesn’t have a cell phone and his coworkers were upset by this so they bought him a childs toy phone and labeled it “David’s jitterbug” (for those of you that don’t know jitterbugs are phones made for old people that have like massive buttons and shit) so the other day I walked into his office to ask him a question and he pressed a button on it which made it start loudly playing the ABCs and he said “excuse me I have to take this” and then started singing along to the ABCs while shooing me out of his office

thats it, im not posting the rest of the day, this is the best fucking thing ive learned in the past 3 weeks

this is what we needed to learn in distance learning

The origin of "chef" as an English word to mean "one who cooks" comes from the French term chef de cuisine, a title still used in restaurants to this day to denote a cook in a managerial role. What makes this an interesting bit of etymology is that while in English, "chef" is only ever used in the context of cooking and restaurants, in French chef just means "chief", "head" or "leader" and there are many common titles in French that include this word. A Head of State is the Chef d'Etat, a musical conductor is the chef d'orchestre, a business owner is the chef d'entreprise, and so on and so forth. So with this in mind, one could make the argument that as a gender neutral term denoting authority, "chef" could potentially have utility in BDSM as a

I've seen those tv shows where they show high pressure restaurant kitchens. The current use is already BDSM.

swedish, which has is base in the germanic languages, not latin as french, also uses "chef" for any position with responsibility for employees.

Everytime this gets a note when its nowhere near christmas I question my sanity just a little bit more

No, it is July, stop that, stop giving this notes, you guys have lost reblogging privileges

Christmas in Swedish is Jul. So we're just about 7 days left of Jul(y)
