I really hate how “your partner shouldn’t be a psychic” has evolved into “you cannot expect your partner to be intuitive to your needs or wants at all” because that’s… quite frankly ugly and a really good way to make your relationship feel like a chore.
I pay attention to the things my partners like and Store That™ in my little brainspace until it becomes useful. My bf likes tea. We were cleaning out an office full of stuff yesterday and they had some tea leftover they would’ve thrown out, so I took it home to him. Wow! He didn’t tell me he needed or wanted that, but he appreciated it because it’s something he likes.
Not everything has to be some grand gesture to show your s/o that you’re into them and you’re paying attention to them. I recall someone saying they wrote down things about their S/O and their interests so they could look back and remind themselves since their memory sucked. Things like that matter.
And I think it’s really cruel to tell people, and especially women who this type of shit is always put towards, that they aren’t allowed to want romance or spontaneity because it’s an “unreasonable” expectation. It really isn’t. Healthy communication does not inherently mean constant hand-holding.
My girlfriend and I were meeting in Chicago for my nephews graduation party, and knowing we’d be going out to a bar on Friday I packed several pairs of earplugs in my luggage because she has sensory issues around loud sounds, it meant a lot to her… Like yeah, you can’t be expected to anticipate everything your partner is gonna need but like, you should still be thinking of their needs and wants if they’re important to you…
I have been talking about consent and modeling it since my sons were babies.
The second week of first grade, my 6-year-old son came home and told me, very seriously, “Mama, I have a girlfriend, and I love her.”
I didn’t laugh at him or tell him he is too young to have a girlfriend, and I didn’t minimize his feelings. We had a very serious conversation about his girlfriend: what he likes about her, what they talk about at lunch, and what games they play on the playground at recess. I asked questions about her; some he knew the answers to, and some he didn’t.
Nearly every day after that for some time, we talked about his girlfriend, and in every conversation, in some way, we talked about consent — what it means, what it looks like, and how I expect him to act.
I didn’t objectify the little girl by referring to her as “your little girlfriend” as I’ve heard other adults tease their own children. I didn’t make jokes about him being a heartbreaker or tell him that the girls will be falling all over him by high school. I didn’t tell him his feelings don’t matter — and I definitely didn’t tell him her feelings don’t matter. I think the seeds of misogyny are planted with words as much as behavior, and I treated his emotions seriously because, for him, being in love for the first time is the most serious thing in the world. He will remember this little girl just as I remember my first boyfriend, and how I handle things now is setting the tone for the future.
I wasn’t expecting to have these conversations in the context of a relationship quite so soon.
His older brother is more introverted, with the exception of the occasional fleeting crush. But I have been talking about consent and modeling it since my sons were babies.
The idea that young men need to learn about consent in high school or college goes hand-in-hand with the idea that sex education shouldn’t be taught before then, either. Consent is an ongoing conversation in our home, framed to suit the situation. But now that my son has a girlfriend, I’m finding ways to introduce the concept of consent within a relationship on a level that he can understand.
From the time my sons were very little — before they could even talk — I started teaching them about body autonomy and consent.
“Do you want me to tickle you?” “Can I pick you up?” “Do you want me to brush your hair?”
I would ask whenever I could, waiting for their response before proceeding. Yes, of course, there are times when a young child needs to be picked up or hair needs to be brushed whether they want it or not, but there are just as many times when children can be given — and deserve — the right to choose. And so I let them decide whenever I can.
Teaching them that no one can touch them without permission was the first step in teaching them about respecting the boundaries of others.
With my sons at 6 and 7 years old now, I model the respect I expect them to extend to others. It is an ongoing lesson, as the most important lessons always are.
Of course they fight — what siblings don’t? But I teach them that, whatever the game or activity, if someone says “Stop!” or “No!” they are to stop what they are doing.
To that end, I try to stay out of their squabbles and give them time to sort them out. If they don’t stop, there are consequences. We talk about how it feels to have someone keep chasing, tickling, or bothering you when you’ve told them to stop. I watch their empathy for others grow as they consider how it feels to be little and have grownups want to touch their faces or hug them without permission. They’re learning, and it gives me hope.
But now I’m having daily conversations with my youngest son about girlfriends and what is — and isn’t — OK.
He knows he has to ask if she wants a hug before he touches her. He knows that it’s rude to refer to her as “my girlfriend” when talking about her and that it’s better, and more respectful, to use her name.
He knows that if he gives her a gift, he should give her a chance to respond instead of inundating her with more gifts. “Let’s wait and see how she feels about this lovely picture you made her before you draw another one,” I tell him, explaining how overwhelming it can be to have someone give you gifts when you’re not ready for them or haven’t had a chance to return the affection. Of course, I’m thinking about the boy I knew my junior year of high school who would constantly leave me trinkets of his affection at my locker — affection that wasn’t reciprocated and made me uncomfortable, especially after I asked him to stop.
I don’t know if I’m doing this right, honestly.
There are times when I think to myself, “But he’s only 6! Why are we even having this conversation?” And then I remind myself, “If not now, when?”
I know what it means to be a girl in this world, and my sons are starting to hear my #MeToo stories, the ones they’re old enough to understand. How do I talk about what’s wrong in the world if I’m not willing to talk about the right behaviors, the right way to treat women?
I know my sons have a good role model in their father and in our marriage. I know they watch how my husband interacts with me, and I see it reflected in how they treat me. It’s a start, but I know it’s not enough in a world that sends mixed messages to boys about girls and how to treat them.
It’s been eye-opening, seeing how my children regard consent.
I’ve seen how those early lessons in teaching them about their own right to say no have gone a long way in teaching them the empathy and respect they show for others now.
I know we’re not done; we’re only just starting. I know it’s only going to get more complicated as they get older.
But at the end of the day, no matter their age, the core lesson is the same: respect people, care about how they are feeling in your interactions with them, and remember that others have a right to feel differently than you do and to set boundaries for what is OK with them. The situations will change, but those words will be repeated again and again.
Teaching consent is not a one-time discussion. It’s something I want my sons to think about every single day.

Yeah Just as a general note You should eliminate any thought that there is an expectation that you do anything by any age You don’t have to be married with kids by 25 It’s ok to be 16 and never been kissed There’s nothing wrong with you if you haven’t graduated from college by 22 You’re not a failure because you don’t have your dream job at 30 There are no rules to life. You don’t get special points for achieving certain things by a deadline. Just go at your own speed. It’s not a race.
If Earth had Saturn’s Rings
From an excellent post by Jason Davis
From Washington, D.C., the rings would only fill a portion of the sky, but appear striking nonetheless. Here, we see them at sunrise.
From Guatemala, only 14 degrees above the equator, the rings would begin to stretch across the horizon. Their reflected light would make the moon much brighter.
From Earth’s equator, Saturn’s rings would be viewed edge-on, appearing as a thin, bright line bisecting the sky.
At the March and September equinoxes, the Sun would be positioned directly over the rings, casting a dramatic shadow at the equator.
At midnight at the Tropic of Capricorn, which sits at 23 degrees south latitude, the Earth casts a shadow over the middle of the rings, while the outer portions remain lit.

Stephen Colbert
I support Stephen Colbert.
Seriously.
Everyone on Tumblr should support Stephen Colbert now.
There was debate amongst the left about whether or not his joke was homophobic (as a gay man I personally didn’t mind the joke at all but I know I don’t speak for everyone) but now that the FCC has launched an investigation into the segment, the debate is now whether or not it is acceptable for Donald Trump to use the force of government to silence his political opponents.
