Came across a TikTok of the guy who opened a special needs barber shop and it’s so precious🥹 the patience and care is overwhelming

Was in Paris on Friday night and a handsome French man was flirting with me and I asked him what his name was and he said (very Frenchly) “Ah you will be disappointed” and I thought what a silly thing to say and then he said “it is Kevin” and you know what? I was disappointed.

[Dège @NadegeRichards]

Definitely both?

when you write, do you hear the sentences in your head or do you see images like in a movie?

finally got around to finishing The Falcon & The Winter Soldier, appalled to discover that I'm still capable of loving Bucky Barnes like a basic bitch from the year 2012 🫠

The worst of it is this made-up disorder has been used to discredit (mostly but not exclusively) women who live with protracted danger and make strategic decisions about how and whether to resist.

Jess Hill writes: Stockholm Syndrome is a myth invented to discredit women victims of violence, created by a psychiatrist with an obvious conflict of interest, whose first instinct was to silence the woman questioning his authority.

That feeling was swift and soul-crushing. To believe someone cares enough to ask, and then to be disappointed when you discover they really don’t. I never want to feel that way again.

I just recalled a moment on Christmas when a cousin asked “So how’s work?” and I got so excited for a whole minute before I realized she was talking to someone sitting next to me. I know my career gets overlooked because it’s “art” … but wow. No one ever asks me anything.

[Dège @NadegeRichards]

I think my issue is that I read fantasy/sci-fi/paranormal for the escape, and I don’t need a reminder of everyday racism when I’m trying to escape it. I already know it exists. But this is just my preference.

for some yall, your "i don't like Black trauma" books taste be seeped in self-hatred. bad, messy things ≠ trauma. don't like dark Blk stories? fine. but don't say you want Blk joy stories & nary one bought. then yall go pick up a monster breeding book or a Colleen Hoover book.

Crying for help is not something people do if they don’t need help. If you’re “seeking attention” it’s because you are lonely, or scared, or not okay. You need support and human connection. So why is society’s response to that scenario to withhold it!!?

[Sophie Gonzales @sgonzalesauthor]

The biggest change of viewpoint I ever went through in psych training was when I said “but what if they’re doing it for attention” and my supervisor was like “what’s wrong with needing attention?” and I realised I didn’t have an answer.

Husband spent all afternoon wrapping presents. He has now lost the television remote and is staring at the big mound of presents, wondering if he accidentally wrapped it.
