Picture yourself when you were five. In fact, dig out a photo of little you at that time and tape it to your mirror. How would you treat her, love her, feed her? How would you nurture her if you were the mother of little you? I bet you would protect her fiercely while giving her space to spread her itty-bitty wings. She’d get naps, healthy food, imagination time, and adventures into the wild. If playground bullies hurt her feelings, you’d hug her tears away and give her perspective. When tantrums or meltdowns turned her into a poltergeist, you’d demand a loving time-out in the naughty chair. From this day forward I want you to extend that same compassion to your adult self.

The Question
possibly triggery, so trigger warning for sexual assault?
good links about the difference between men and women when it comes to rape culture: the original essay is here (it’s about proto-rapists and the insidiousness of rape culture and it is fantastic), but this anecdote in the comments section stood out for me:
Not surprisingly, I have a story? It’s pretty long, and I’m sorry.

“I think at this point in our world, we’ve got a really confused idea of the way gender and sexuality works. I think we’ve created this really superfluous sort of like binary in the way we think about gender. And I guess I identify as queer because I don’t identify with that. I think that makes us less whole as people. I don’t need to be assigned to what it is I can do or who I can love. And it seems like we keep drawing these battle lines which are completely unnecessary. So that’s what I basically mean. When I say I’m queer, I’m saying that I think human beings are amazing. And love is an honor and an opportunity. And a fragile thing. A fragile process in which there’s no room for doubt, or shame, or hatred.” — Ezra Miller

dirty mullet club: eateroftrees: More then 9 in 10 people is afflicted with allism, and...
More then 9 in 10 people is afflicted with allism, and despite what some idealists believe, this rate has more or less remained steady.
Traits include:
- Lack of empathy, especially towards people with different communication styles
- A belief that how your brain works is morally superior
- Use of vague, imprecise language
- Failure to respect sensory boundaries
- Markedly unrestricted diet
- Abnormally high tolerance for the pain of eye contact
- A tendency to say untrue things with the assumption that people will recognize that they are untrue (a phenomenon known as “sarcasm”)
- An apparent sixth sense for detecting things such as “sarcasm” and “subtext”
- A tendency to view their more normal family members as extensions of themselves.
- and many, many more.
Your child (and you, for that matter) is far more likely to suffer from allism then to die in a car crash.
There is no known cure.
Reblog if you support a cure for this terrible family destroying blight.
(post is snark/sarcasm)

Rumble in the Tumbl
I feel like I’m on fire with writing tonight! Someone just asked me to say what I think about intuition and this is what I came up with:
“I believe that intuition is a collection of neural pathways that we’ve developed over time. They tend to be things that have served us well in the past. The way our brain works, we may not realize that these are stored patterns.
We may feel that they are coming from a mystical great beyond, but feelings of this kind themselves are just boosters for things we want to associate with good/yes/do. And like these intuitions they mostly work, but often enough fail.
I believe it’s a measure of wisdom to accept them for what they are, but not defend them to adamantly, lest we become so polarized by criticism that we begin to argue our own infallibility.” -
UR DOING EEET WRONG!!!1!
Using logic is like using a mathematical formula. You input your values (intended double meaning), and logic dictates the outcome. If you use logic, but put in bad values, you still end up wrong.
