They don’t steal, they survive.
Every morning, the butcher leaves a box of bones outside his shop. Not for profit, not for attention, but for the ones with no home, no bowl, no guarantee of a next meal.
One by one, they come. Each takes just a piece, carefully, almost politely, like they understand it’s a gift.
It’s not much, but to them, it’s everything.
And to the man who leaves it there, it’s a quiet act of kindness the world could use a little more of.
Women’s bodies literally scream “make a baby” every month, and we still manage self-control. But men? Five minutes of temptation and suddenly biology is to blame? Please. Evolution isn’t the problem impulse is.
This is one of my favorite videos of all time. As a child psychologist, it’s a perfect example of joint attention, preverbal communication, and coregulation.
“No means no” does NOT only apply to sex. It also applies when your friends say they don’t want to drink anymore, when they say they don’t feel comfortable with affection, when they say they don’t smoke. Respecting people’s boundaries doesn’t only mean when it comes to sex
The phlebotomist yesterday was making small talk with me, and I said “it’s been unusually cold this week”. And she goes “yeah I asked ChatGPT when it’s going to start warming up and he said late March, so we’re almost there. I believe in chat”.
And I asked her why she didn’t just check the weather app.
And she just laughed.
Like you have no idea how many people are just casually using AI for the most ridiculous things that they’ve neverrrrr needed to use AI for in the past. 🥴
I can’t believe I’m explaining this like I’m talking to a bunch of kids but seriously, this is bs. Gerard isn’t going to come and hold your hand while he explains what he means. He grew up with Star Wars, he knows how stories are supposed to teach us about the bad guys
And if they mentioned Palestine, someone would say they have to mention their country’s situation, and so on. And unfortunately it’d be impossible to cover EVERYTHING that is happening rn, but you know what helps? Writing a fictional story about a fictional country…
This topic is getting tiresome, but yeah… seeing as how everyone is saying that the band should speak out about what’s happening, I just know that if they’d say something about ice or the current administration, people would demand that they mention Palestine
I think the Ministry Of Advanced Technology holds the power that makes him immortal. The more therapy you’ve done, the more death-proof you become, hence Gerard always coming back to life then at the final North American date, simply not dying no matter what the Clerk did.
For thousands of years, babies slept with their mothers. When they cried, they were attended to. Then two men came along: Dr. Holt and John B. Watson. They said babies should be trained. That babies had to fit the assembly line schedules of their parents. "Newborns must cry to expand their lungs," they claimed. "Simply let them cry it out." And that's how the "cry it out" sleep training method was born. Watson treated babies like experiments. "Never hug or kiss your child," he wrote. "Shake hands with them in the morning." After all, mothers needed rest, to attend to their husbands and households. Watson had four children. Three attempted suicide. One succeeded. And we still follow it today. Because once you convince a mother to ignore her baby's cries, you've broken something primal.
