All the Things I'm Interested at the Moment.

#google translate does not capture the tone switch so i have to say. first two sentences are like. normal maybe kind of feminine posting tone #& the last is like. shounen manga protagonist. action movie hero. jojo's bizarre adventure character. #the tone you would use if you were holding a gun with the safety off (– @chadlesbianjasontodd)

don't ever look up what your childhood friends are up to now!!!!!!!!!! like girl you're a nuclear safety engineer. i put on matching socks today. we played tag a thousand years ago.

My knowledge about child development versus the social pressure to not interfere with other people’s parenting fight daily

Oh and ESPECIALLY if you’re not a parent yourself. No matter how much time you’ve spent working with children or the amount of research you’ve done, if it’s not YOUR kid you couldn’t understand anything

It’s not even “just” bad and abusive parents. It’s people who were raised that way and don’t know another way. Or they’ve been doing it so long they think it’s too late to change. Or they want to do better but have barriers to education and implementation. Or they’re trying traditional methods with a neurodivergent child. Or like a hundred other reasons.

I love this addition! It takes a village, and I might not be your kids' parent but I'm part of their/your village (relative, teacher, director, etc.) and there are problems we can solve together! <3

a movie like project hail mary can exist in almost any sci fi universe bc it’s clearly an early point in the universe’s history w intelligent civilians just on the cusp of efficient intergalactic travel and relations. like, they’re still working out the kinks (speed, fuel, tech). after a few thousand years……its incredibly probable that someone like luke skywalker could have grew up hearing bed time stories about a creature that ate stars and the saviors that “slayed” the monster

the story would have evolved over the millennia into an epic tale about a giant made of stone and his fierce human accomplice, who wielded “magic” weapons to fight the sun killers. imagine Han Solo drunkenly telling the story to an eridian (whose home planet kept VERY accurate records about heroes and have well kept memorials) who can’t help think to themselves ‘rocky would love this but grace would hate it’ bc for fucks sake it was a microorganism not a fairytale!

rocky always yells “enrichment for grace! enrichment for grace!” when he has a new invention to make the humans time more interesting on erid. grace, while appreciative, replies ‘I know I’m in a zoo enclosure but could we maybe not call it that? I feel like a bear getting thrown a pumpkin covered in peanut butter.’ rocky simply gives him a thumb, not wanting to explain that a significant amount of the population sees grace as the celebrity savior scientist who rocky keeps as a controversially young trophy wife and publicly lavishes in gifts
