A Dream Deferred

That's it. That's the dream. I'm almost mad that that's the dream.

A woman came into my work a little while ago loudly complaining about her (perfectly well-behaved) son, saying how he was ten years old and didn't know how to listen, and I nodded along like "yeah I totally remember being that age", and she looks at me and goes, "no, seriously, he's Autistic," and I spread my arms and go, "Hey, same! Twinsies!"

And this woman's eyes. My God, it was beautiful. She goes, "Really? And they let you WORK here?"

And then she turns back to her kid to nag at him and over her shoulder little dude and and I make what I can only describe as the purest form of eye contact I have ever experienced in my life

She snapped at him to stop running around and hold still so I froze in place like a terrified statue and he copied me and we both grinned and he's my favourite customer now

One experience that has not changed my whole life is the joyous vindication that comes from an adult communicating to a kid that yeah, you're not stupid, this other adult just needs to untwist their pants

this post just made a full trip back to my dash and reading it over again two years later I feel the need to add that when this happened I was working as uniformed security personnel

and I really really hope that the memory of "person in position of authority thinks that you're doing great and your mom is wrong about you" sticks in their head for when they need it most

One of the funniest things about enemies-to-lovers ships is how they’re almost always obsessed with each other. Like if a character actively chooses to interact with another character over and over again instead of simply ignoring them? Throw darts at it all you want, but you still printed out a picture of them to hang on your wall

"Throw darts at it all you want, but you still printed out a picture of them to hang on your wall." - This is a raw line.

LONG MAY HE ROT

Filthy thoughts and feelings

If homophobes weren't so awful to LGBT people, then maybe we'd be happier.

what a headline

the average tumblrina would be obsessed with leverage if they were willing to open their hearts

i know i've said this plenty of times before but it's so rare to be watching a television show and know that the audience and the creators are on the exact same page about what parts of the show are the important and appealing ones. leverage really hits its stride immediately in the pilot and doesn't ever let up on it more than incidentally. there's not a single episode in all five seasons thats actually bad, and the worst they ever get is that the episode's main plot will be kind of uninteresting. but the writers and actors all care so much about the characters that it's more than capable of carrying a few weaker one-off plots. its just so much fun ugh!!!

I didn't know this was a TV series and thought you were talking about like... the mechanical/physics concept of leverage until I read the reblog. And just accepted that like "yeah true"

tumblrinas can not get enough of this

I love seeing list memes where someone makes a "le cool people vs le cringe" and they obviously skew it so they barely scrape by into the cool kids club

You just KNOW this dudes 5'11"

I'm 5'11, but in most casual conversations I'll say I'm 5'9. I do this purely for the chaos that it creates. Because everyone assumes that men only exaggerate their height up, it makes me look like the only person honestly describing their height and thus knocks at least 2 inches off everyone else's description. The panic that the 6'1 guys feel at the thought of being described as 5'11 is hard to understate. I have had people run back to their cars to grab tape measures. If I could get away with describing myself as 4'6 I would.

you are the diametrical opposite of the aforementioned guy. you are a demigod walking among mortals

I wanna kiss you in places you’re insecure about

Kinda want to worship the ground she walks on, kinda want to fold her like a pretzel and use her like a toy.

if you kiss my neck you might as well just take all my clothes off too

bad bitches have no plans for halloween and stay home and watch tv

This idea struck me like lightning, so here is a wip :)

I could draw them forever. Not a very interesting drawing at all and not so happy with it too but I did it ! Now I can do something else :  ) Have a nice evening !
