SIGN-UP FOR PROMPT 628: QUAKE

My fiancé and I always have at least one stuffed animal with us in bed and we’re 20 and 21

If you're fifteen or older an still sleep with a stuffed animal please reblog this.

My friend is embarrassed and thinks she’s the only one and I said id prove her wrong.

I think I just need to vent or advice

I'm honestly terrified at the moment because my fiance and I moved out together which is amazing. But I quit my job before we moved, now the second month of rent is due. And guess what? I still don't have a job. My fiance can cover rent, and utilities, but barely. I have no source of income and it's scary. I'm trying so hard, but it just doesn't seem to be working. I apply to more jobs than I can count, but nothing. I'm gonna try to make an Etsy but last time I did it fell through I don't want that again. I'm so lost of what I should do. I need to get money some how to help us have a more suitable life. I want us to be at least a little above water. I don't expect us to be able to take exciting vacation within the next like three years. But being able to go out to eat once in awhile would be nice. Being able to definitely have food on the table and everything you need sounds amazing. I have no idea what to do from here. I'm trying so hard. I'm looking into cooking for people pet sitting and babysitting. But I just am struggling. It's making my anxiety and depression act up spectacularly. Which is scary in a whole other way. I just wish someone would help me figure everything out. I just wish I could find a way to make a steady income in the meantime. It doesn't even have to be an okay kind of income, just any extra money sounds amazing. Let me know if you know anyways to help me. Or what I could do. Or how I could make my Etsy successful if I do go through with it. Just any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for even reading this whole thing. It kind of helped my mind to write this all out.

Technically this was my second one but it reloaded before I read the first one.

here's a random word generator--whatever word it gives you is now the thing you are the deity of

The older I get the more fiercely protective I get of younger girls. I was heading into work yesterday and I saw that 12 year old (I mentioned her before, the one who wore makeup) talking to this older man. She’s normally really bubbly but she looked a little more subdued talking to him so I go over and loudly say “Hey sweetheart, who’s this?” And the guys just glares at me and she says “oh um his name is Justin.” And I’m like “Hi Justin, how do you know her?” And he gets nervous and is like “I just saw her jogging and thought I’d give her pointers.” So I just kinda tilted my head and looked at him for a minute. He literally asked me “are you a cop or something? I haven’t done anything wrong.” So I took her to the McDonald’s near by, bought her something and had a talk about not talking to strangers. Low key I’m debating the next time I see her parents (they drop her off at the gym and leave her there for hours) to maybe have a talk with them or something. Idk if it’s my place tho

This is awful

My best friend had a horrible top surgery experience, and his surgeon doesn’t seem to care. He is raising money to get a second opinion and (hopefully) another surgery to fix what his first surgeon did. Anyone can look at these pictures and realize that is NOT right.

So even if you cannot donate, please reblog and share this. My best friend is entirely broken over this and is strongly fighting a deep depression because of it.

He deserves happiness, and was so close to finally reaching it before this happened. I want nothing more than for him to love himself when he sees himself, including with his shirt off.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read, share, and/or donate!

Beautiful

lmao on the edinburgh zoo site it says “there is a daily penguin parade at 14:15 but it may be cancelled last minute as it is a voulntary parade, we do not coax the penguins with food, and they may not want to go out” lmao anarchopenguinism

It's darkly amusing to me that some people thought my mom didn't "discipline" me enough as a kid, were not shy about making sure both she AND I knew it, and now as an adult I'm one of the only people in my friend group who still wants anything to do with their parents. The proof is in the pudding, as they say.

When I was a kid, I broke a ceramic soap dispenser. I burst into tears and was terrified that I was going to be in trouble. My mom told me that it was okay, because accidents happen sometimes, and the important thing was that I didn't do it on purpose and apologized.

When someone else I know was a kid, they broke a dish on accident and got screamed at and guilt tripped. To this day, they have to push down a panic attack at the sound of broken glass, and have had to actively work on healing from that trauma. They will always have to carry that.

I think maybe it's not MY mom who fucked up in the "how to discipline your child" department. Quite frankly, I think the idea of "disciplining children" is fucked up and deeply harmful on a fundamental level.

When a kid does something wrong, you have to teach them how to fix it and do better. Humans are messy and complicated and we don't know everything there is to know just by being born. Children are learning how to be human beings, and that's a really hard thing to learn.

Kids question and fight back against authority that mistreats them, but someone treating them like a human being with human emotions is usually going to have a lot of success. Kids just want to be respected, and it's our job as adults to give them that basic human dignity. The world is utterly terrifying, and made scarier when all the grown-ups seem to hate you and wish you would just shut up and go away, even the ones that claim they want you around.

Kids can be mean, because they're still learning how to socialize and communicate and collaborate. Sometimes you have to give them time to cool off, and sometimes you have to redirect them. Sometimes you have to be firm. Sometimes you have to be an adult, and hone your conflict de-escalation and resolution skills. None of that requires punishment.

And if a child does something truly cruel and fucked up and shitty, and it hurts someone in a big way? My first question isn't "what should their punishment be," my first question is always, "who taught this kid that, and is this child in active danger from them?"
