How to stop Paraphile ocd gogole search

I think I just committed blasphemy

I get cannibalism. I mean. Who woudn't eat a guy

a phrase that kinda bothers me when talking about women's historical roles in europe is "cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children." you hear it so often, those exact words in the same order even. and once you learn a little more you realize that the massive gaping hole in that list is fiberwork. im not an expert and have no hard numbers, but i wouldnt be surprised if fiberwork took up nearly as much time as the other three tasks combined, so it's not a trivial omission.

it's not a hot take to say that the mass amnesia about fiberwork is linked to the belittlement of women's work in geneal, but i do think there's a special kind of illusion that is cast by "cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children." you hear that and think "well i cook and clean and take care of children (or i know someone who does) and i have a sense of how much work that is" and you know of course that cooking and cleaning were more laborious before modern technology, but still, you have a ballpark estimate you think, when in fact you are drastically underestimating the work load.

i also think that this just micharacterizes the role of women's work in livelihoods? cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children are all sisyphean tasks that have to be repeated the next day. these are important, but not the whole picture. when we include all kinds of fiberwork—and other things, such as making candles or soap—women's work looks much more like manufacturing, a sphere we now associate more with men's work. i feel like women's connection to making and craftsmanship is often elided.

love that "number theory" and "linear algebra" sound like idiot math for babies

Fuck you dan

this was a screenshot of mine I took on May 16th of last year:

some context I can remember:

regarding all the stuff about graphics drivers, I was trying to fix a problem with 1.7.10 modded MC where the screen would turn one color after joining worlds (I've since solved this with one specific mod, though)

the thing about straws was because of me having gotten my wisdom teeth removed on May 7th

anyways, no-pressure tags:

Louise Bourgeois | from The Trauma of Abandonment (2001) | fabric stitched with red thread

‘Our clothes take care of us. They are our protective shell, our second skin, our closest embrace. They encircle us gently and keep us dry, warm, and cozy. Because of this job well done, even the cheapest of clothes are deserving of our care and attention when they break.

There's nothing broken that can't be fixed. That old saying comes to mind again. What if we could really believe it and apply it to everything in our lives? Just as we choose not to give up on an old busted pair of jeans, we choose to heal a friendship, we choose to let go of an old grudge we've been carrying around, and we choose to acknowledge feelings that have been hurt. The most vulnerable members of our society - the houseless, mentally ill, incarcerated - are cast out and disposed of. Can we learn to say, "I won't give up on you" and truly practice it?

When we mend, we are participating in the healing of the world, as mending is a profound act of restoring integrity to an object and our relationship to it. "We need acts of restoration, not only for polluted waters and degraded lands, but also for our own relationship to the world," indigenous botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer said. "We need to restore honor to the way we live, so that when we walk through the world we don't have to avert our eyes with shame, so that we can hold our heads up high and receive the respectful acknowledgement of the rest of the earth's beings."’

Noooo stop rebloging my posts hehe haha 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

I saw one that was like “if you have medical OCD and are scared you ate something toxic! Go call poison control! It will save you a few hours of scrolling on Reddit” like thanks? Okay?? So when I get an obsession I should search for reassurance instead of searching for reassurance? The best way to deal with obsessions is to ignore them.

tumblr ocd advice is kind of astounding bc youll see posts like "OCD LIFE HACK!!!!! if you have [obsession] try [compulsion]" and people are passing it around like its genuine advice and not literally the worst possible thing you could do in that scenario

horses watching television in a carpeted room they are small and wear matching blue halters as they stand close together side by side incredibly close to the television which displays a horse and rider jumping over an obstacle typical of horse shows this pair is watching sports as friends practically glued to the screen they are obviously fanatics of a sport in which their taller brethren show off their strengths and discipline perhaps some part of them yearns to leap and bound with the big shots

Um I made this account right when I got my first two rats. They’re gone now so I guess it makes even more sense. Don’t got anyone to tag

Tag game🎉

Tag your moots and ask them where they got the idea for their tumblr accounts name!

For my name it was a nickname I was giving back in middleschool! One of our teacher had a system where we worked with 'wifi' eachtime we talked in class we lost a bar of the "wifi" (was a weird joke and we never held count on that) All the kids usually joked if they needed 'wifi' , they would borrow mine if they wanted to talk more. (I was incredibly shy in middle school, I only talked to like 3 people at school;^;)

They called me Ms. Wifi because of that. I just thought it would be funny if I put 'miss' instead of 'ms' because of my terrible actual wifi connection I have at home lol.

That's my story! Now moots, only if you guys want to, tell us your story.

Hang in There!
