fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes

May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love

Wow. Talk about attention to detail.

I will probably reblog this every time I see it on my dash because it’s absolutely stunning

This is literally insane. How did you have the patience. Tell me your secrets o’ art god.

I'm Yours

Helloooo, this is what I'd consider a continuation of the world I created between Xavier and the reader which you can find here

Anyways no warnings, just fluff, maybe OOC Xavier, lots of kissing, and listened to I'm Yours By Isabel LaRosa while writing this so I hope you enjoy it!

Word Count: 1.6K (slightly proof read)

“I love you.” Xavier spoke,lips ghosting over yours, you smiled looking from his lips to his eyes, you brought your hands to the back of his neck pulling closer to connect your lips. Xavier told you every chance he got that he loves you and it always made the fire in your heart for him burn harder. “I love you so much.” He spoke again when the kiss ended.

Text: PSA to anyone with a tree nut allergy who frequents starbucks. We have a new drink called the pistachio cold foam cold brew and our pistachio sauce not only has real pistachio in it, the syrup sticks inside the blender and will 100% not fully wash off with the rinsers we use (its just water). I highly suggest if you want a cold foam drink during Jan-March you request it done in a sanitized blender to lower the chance of having a reaction if you are at risk.

You mean to tell me some of you watched that scene with Chrissy in the woods and didn’t take away that Eddie liked her? That man was smitten. Then the rest of you didn’t see how he kept flirting with Steve??

The argument of whether Eddie is straight or gay is invalid because come on that man is a pansexual.

And no, you can not change my mind.

not to oversimplify an extremely complex discipline but if i had to pick one tip to give people on how to have more productive interactions with children, especially in an instructive sense, its that teaching a kid well is a lot more like improv than it is like error correction and you should always work on minimizing the amount of ‘no, wrong’ and maximizing the amount of ‘yes, and?’ for example: we have a species of fish at the aquarium that looks a lot like a tiny pufferfish. children are constantly either asking us if that’s what they are, or confidently telling us that’s what they are. if you rush to correct them, you risk completely severing their interest in the situation, because 1. kids don’t like to engage with adults who make them feel bad and 2. they were excited because pufferfish are interesting, and you have not given them any reason to be invested in non-pufferfish. Instead, if you say something like “It looks a LOT like a tiny pufferfish, you’re right. But these guys are even funnier. Wanna know what they’re called?” you have primed them perfectly for the delightful truth of the Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker

I was in martial arts for years, and in particular I kinda specialized in working with the younger kids.

The two Big Rules when instructing younger students was- 1. Compliment before Critique 2. Don’t say ‘but’, say ‘now’

Praise kids on what they get right first, especially if they are struggling. Like OP said, kids don’t like to engage with people who make them feel bad. They need encouragement when learning new things.

Number two boils down to this. If you tell a kid a compliment, then say “but you need to fix this”, that ‘but’ completely negates your compliment. It’s gone. It was canceled out like adding a negative to a positive. Using “hey, that punch is looking great, now let’s focus on your stance” doesn’t verbally cancel out the progress they’ve made. It’s like they’ve checked off something on their list of stuff to work on.

Wording can absolutely make or break a child’s motivation and interest.

Rebloggling as it’s relevant in a Medical Education context

Honestly I use all of these to teach vet students too. I think people in general respond better to positivity in teaching. Not coddling, but acknowledging when a student got part way to the right answer, or had a good thought process, is something I’ve found keeps students engaged and builds confidence, which encourages them to keep going instead of shutting down and just “getting through” a lab or a rotation

I’m too lazy for dating. Why can’t someone materialize out of nowhere and agree that we should spend the rest of our lives together

Can u believe this actually happened to me

To me, what really separates Chocolate Guy from all the other “surprise it’s a cake” people is…. I want to eat his stuff. It’s not foam-cake covered in fondant, it’s sixteen kinds of chocolate over delicate wafers and juicy compotes and mousse-you-can-feel-by-seeing and I Want To Eat It All. (Like, I might feel bad taking a bite out of, say, his beautiful telescope, but if I had the chance I would be all over it.)

These mushrooms? I’d pop like six of them if given the chance.

I never wanted to eat anything more…
