Hey people, so, this is kinda a last-ditch effort considering that I've got basically no people following me, but maybe some people will see it via the tags or something. Basically, I watched the documentary series "Don't F*ck With Cats" on Netflix earlier, and I just realised that, well, it was a lot heavier than I bargained for. I don't have any idea why I didn't just turn it off at the time. I've got slight anxiety/paranoia issues anyway, and this really isn't helping. My thoughts just keep drifting back to the documentary/the content of the documentary... Which is very dark. Animal abuse, serial killers... etc. Does anybody have any ideas on how to calm down and stop myself from freaking out over this/stop worrying about being murdered by a serial killer/stop my thoughts from drifting back to the documentary? Thanks so much to anybody that can help. :) PS: Please tell me if I missed any tags that would be suitable here/trigger warnings, or if my trigger warning tags aren't up to standard! (I heard that there are different conventions that change every so often, but I'm not up to date.)

Throwback to Danneel’s post about her first episode!

Supreme Family/IronStrange Headcanons

Nobody told me Supreme Family was A Thing™? Why????

Stephen helps Peter obey his curfew.

If he’s in the middle of patrol at 11:58, a portal will suddenly open up in front of him and he’ll find himself swinging into his room by 11:59.

Tony is not amused.

Stephen: “What? You want him in by twelve, I get him in by twelve, what’s the problem?”

Tony gets frustrated and the fastest way to calm him down is to fluster him (which Stephen is very good at).

Peter has been complaining for months about an unfair teacher that hates him, and then report cards come in.

Straight A’s in all his classes, except that teacher’s, even though Peter did all the work and knows all the material.

The High Maintenance Dad Duo™ is absolutely not having it.

Stephen goes down to the school and spends no less than three (3) hours correcting every factual inaccuracy the teacher has ever said in his life.

Tony calls the principal/superintendent/any higher-up in the school system and has him fired within hour 1, but still listens as Magic Husband goes off on his ass.

The cloak has a serious interest in Peter’s happiness.

It’ll go with Peter to any convention or other Nerd Gathering™ as a part of Peter’s cosplay.

If someone tries to pick Peter’s pocket while he’s busy soaking up all the cool stuff everywhere, it will smack the hand away and Peter is none the wiser.

Peter will fall asleep on his homework or whatever he’s working on in the lab, and no matter how far away it is, the cloak will zoom to Peter to drape around his shoulders.

Approximately twenty-one (21) windows and seven (7) priceless artifacts at the sanctum have been broken this way.

If Tony or Stephen is already there with a blanket ready, the cloak will physically fight them to get to Peter first.

Stephen does something similar with Tony. He doesn’t get why Tony calls him a hypocrite for chastising the cloak.

I’ve got more that I’m gonna put in a part 2

RIGHT. So. I just noticed something, and I have nowhere else suitable to put my opinion, so... here.

Society glamourizes alcohol/drinking far too much, really???

I was just looking at Mother’s Day cards (I know, I know) and I noticed that a good portion of them - at least half - involve alcohol, drinking, or wine in some way. It’s honestly a little disturbing. Alcohol is literally poison. Getting drunk is the effect of getting poisoned. Millions of people get addicted to alcohol/die from alcohol addiction every year, and even more have their lives disrupted from the addiction or death from alcohol poisoning of a friend or family member. Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of death whilst in a vehicle. Alcohol causes all sorts of diseases and health effects. All of this happens, and we’re encouraging our mothers, our fathers, our children, our siblings, and our peers to drink alcohol... for what?

Drinking doesn’t have a practical use. So, for what?

Fun?

Alcohol, a literal poison, is legal in almost every country, whilst weed/marijuana, a completely harmless plant, is still widely criminalised. The general population of many countries are drinking alcohol, getting themselves addicted, and draining their funds dry on alcohol, all on the reg, because they’re so bored that literally poisoning themselves seems like fun. And society lets it go on, unchecked, because that’s the way it’s always been. It’s time that something changed.

I’m not saying that moderate drinking if you like the taste of alcohol is a bad thing. If you legitimately enjoy the taste of alcohol, drink in small amounts. That’s fine. But if that’s not the case, please change.

If you’re a parent drinking because of your kids, don’t. Learn to discipline them properly, and that kids are noisy and messy and imperfect.

If you’re going out to bars or pubs every night for fun, don’t. Get a hobby, or start a new project. Even just sitting in front of the TV is better than drinking.

If you’re addicted, or think you might be... seek help. Go to rehab. Get rid of your alcohol, and don’t buy more. Get rid of friends who might encourage you to start drinking again.

Society glamourizes alcohol, and it’s time to make that stop. Please, don’t glamourize alcohol and drinking. It ruins lives just as much as drugs, or smoking, or sex addiction. Spread the world. Stop! Glamourizing! Alcohol!

That’s all. To whoever’s reading this, good luck, and have a great day. :)

What sort of stuff should people submit in junk responses, exactly? Will just random keysmash do?

[Tweet from the FBI at 5:47pm EDT on June 1, 2020: The FBI is seeking information and digital media depicting individuals inciting violence during First Amendment protected peaceful demonstrations: fbi.gov/violence]

The FBI has set up an online tip site to collect information on “unlawful violent actions” going on at protests in the U.S. Please help flood the system with junk responses so the FBI can’t use this tool to track down and punish protesters! You can submit a junk response here or by calling 1-800-225-5324.

Some details:

You can submit multiple responses

You do not have to be in the U.S to submit something

The form asks for but doesn’t require you to fill out personal information

Even though the page is meant to be collecting photo/video files, you don’t have to upload any (although doing so will make your response more time consuming to weed out!)

Messing with surveillance tools like this has been shown to be effective this week already. Support the protesters who are fighting for and with you! Black lives matter!
