My abusive ex once tracked me down and said he had done so because of a 12-step program telling him to make amends. He apologized. I told him “I’m glad to hear you’re getting help. Thank you for the apology.” He then tried to add me as a friend on Facebook. I told him “I accepted your apology but we are not friends. I hope your life continues to improve. Goodbye.” and thankfully he fucked off. I have to tell you though… I was sweating bullets the whole time.

I just want to point out the core of what the diffuser did in this conversation

“it’s easier to love ourselves when we feel loved as ourselves”

not be like “ugh the Youths” but i think kids nowadays have gotten Too Comfortable on the internet.

This girl on among us have me her number and turns out she’s 13. It was like 3am and she proceeded to tell me the name of her town, what school she went to, both of her parents jobs, how she did in class, what her home life is like, the first names of all of her friends, ect. All of this mostly unprompted. The smartest thing she did was ask to FaceTime me to make sure I ‘wasn’t a 40yo catfish’ and she talked about the other kids that she had met on among us this way.

Stranger danger yall. And if you’re ever wondering what you could do to keep yourself safe, here’s a list.

tbt to the time a bi woman explicitly said she was sure she was bisexual and “journalists” were like

I mean, it’s a thing…

These are all well and good (accurate and informative and also fun) but here’s the best way to tell the difference between the two:

tfw when idiots on tumblr who know jack shit about thermo assume the dude is ‘correcting misinformation’ when actually he’s dead ass wrong. ‘Spontaneous’ is a scientific term - it means a reaction with a negative Gibb’s free energy, i.e. a reaction that will occur without an external energy input, i.e. water boiling because of low atmospheric pressure. Spontaneous is absolutely the correct term for what she’s observing, and that is ‘simple thermo’, and this is ‘correcting misinformation’.
