And as kids, “gifted” doesn’t mean you’re better than anyone. You’re still a kid, but your brain works differently. This isn’t good or bad; it just is.

One of the biggest things I have to learn was really “unlearning” my “specialness.” I forget what eventually triggered it, but sometime in college it occurred to me that my “gifted” education had taught me extraordinary laziness and procrastination. I had to learn how to actually learn and fight all the anxiety about not being as wonderful and good as my early years had told me I was. Lots of imposter syndrome I still fight when it comes to learning new things.

On the flip side, there are the kids who were never told they were gifted and end up constantly vying for a superficial label because they’ve been programmed to believe that “gifted” meant “better version” and of course there’s parental pressure. When this happens, they end up in sort of the same place as the “gifted” kids.

I would absolutely address people like this, unfortunately I have an English upbringing 

Appreciation and acknowledgement of platonic love

Howdy I’m V.J. Wych Elm and you’re reading The Blue Phone

This goes for assholes, too, guys. I know a couple who went tubing once, and they had to re-air their tubes, but the guy thought it would be funny to stick the tip of the air compressor up to her bikini trunks, the air ruptured something inside her and she died within thirty minutes.

WHAT?

The thing about this? It’s in every pregnancy book I’ve read.

WHAT?????

Why is it in pregnancy books but not sex ed books?

Because the men in charge only care about the health and safety of women in so far as it enables them to have babies.

Reblogging with a link because I thought this was a legit joke. Never heard it before. Like I knew you could kill a person by inserting air into a vein but still.

WHAT THE FUCL I hate how I didn’t learn this in sex Ed AT ALL

This is very true lol

I feel like I first saw this in The Joy of Sex, but it’s definitely a thing.

What the fuck

hm. 

I legit thought this was a shitpost until I saw the rest of the comments

I wanna be fleabag in that i want to be so humorous and bring joy to the lives of other people and be enamored with a priest who loves me but can't because he'll be fucked if he does.... I also wanna have like a fucking edgy haircut and talk to the 'camera' as if somebody understands my jokes

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

“You’d be surprised”, said Xaldien, who just lost four followers and received a lovely “men can’t be raped” anon shortly after reblogging this the first time.

s2 five is delightfully feral and homicidal. I've always liked five, he's always been one of my favourite characters, but in s1 he felt so tame? and I feel like they may have been holding back so that nobody was scared off the show by the feral little murder gremlin, but in s2 they seem to have let him off his leash to run wild and get soaked in the blood of his enemies and still have that knowitall wisdom about him, and it's wonderful. I ADORED him this season.

Trying to articulate this properly but the way the umbrella academy showed Allison running away from those white men who had clear intentions to hurt her and then she rushes into a black womens' hair salon and she doesn't even say anything (she literally can't) and just has fear on her face and this group of Black women immediately, immediately, shift into protection mode. They don't know this woman, don't know her name, don't know how she came to be there but all they see is utter distress caused by racist sexist white men and their first concern and action is protecting her. Like that is something in the black community that's always been there. Protecting each other at the drop of a hat. Putting yourself between injustice. And recently with the Blm protests still at full force you again get this image of what the black community does and always has which is that they pick each other up and they do it every time and that's how they've been surviving and helping each other survive and intentional or not this season did a really good job at highlighting at the right time that black people have simply been asking for their right to exist safely for centuries and yet it is the 21st century and that is still being villainously denied
