AQUATIC (penguin)

No wait

this is terrible

put it back

the poor thing

Elegant

Classic

Like Cleopatra, he burns upon the water

Equal parts beauty and danger

Full of Secrets

But take it a few genes to the left and you’ve got a GOOSE

A raptor if raptors were total idiots

Neither beauty nor grace

Full of Hate

Has so much poop for you

@english-history-trip that is some powerful art, and I respect the trip that it represents from the sublime to the absurd, for in this journey we find enlightenment.

You know what birds those are?

FLAMINGOS!

Apologize

Shaming

HEY BUNJY.

The studies done by the trained psychologists in this joke show that little kids don’t associate being hit with the thing they’ve done wrong. Very small children only understand consequences that are directly caused by the thing they did. Steal a biscuit, biscuit tastes good. Then for no reason mummy hit me. Very different to stole a biscuit, now no biscuit after dinner because I stole a biscuit.

And they also show that when a child is old enough to understand why they are being hit that non-physical punishment is equally as effective and less mentally harmful in the long run.

Do you know who benefits the most from hitting as a punishment? The parent. It gives a satisfaction rush. Parents do it because it makes them feel good.

Basically kids have two stages: too young to understand why they are being hit so physical punishment is useless for anything other than teaching a child that bigger stronger people can hit you whenever they like (Which sounds like the same lesson you would learn from abuse)

And the second stage is old enough to be reasoned with so many punishment options are available and you chose physical violence because it makes *you* feel better, which is an abusive action.

if you think that it is ever ever ever ever okay to ever ever ever ever lay hands on a goddamn child, i never ever ever ever want you anywhere near a child ever

as an abuse victim, just. don’t.

even hitting your kid once is too much, especially in a way that is directly stated as a “you did something bad so here is the mild punishment” such as non-sexual spanking. “a smack upside the head”?? you’re really going to fucking SMACK your child for dropping a plate huh??? for stealing a cookie????? for interrupting you while you’re on the phone????? you’ll fucking HIT this very young human that YOU decided to raise and be around???????? uh yeah i don’t fucking think so, don’t ever be around any children ever until you get that extremely harmful and violent idea out of your head

The first time the darkness fell, he was alone. Alone in a room he did not know.

He had sluggishly opened his eyes, waking up from a peaceful slumber, expecting to see the mess which typically adorned his bedroom. What was he greeted with instead? A darkened room devoid of his things. He understood this place was not his bedroom, so what was it? And, more importantly, where in the name of Gerard Way was it? His spine cracked as he sat up, propping himself up onto his elbow. A slight turn to the left revealed just what he wanted to see: a bedside table. A table meant a possible clue, and Virgil was itching to find a clue.

Y'all, I found one of my favorite bookmarks! I've literally had this thing since like September 2017 and I don't know why I love it so much I just do.
