if you’ve recently sent me a request on anon, please know that I’m working on them! since you’re on anon and I can’t tag you when I publish, I often leave your asks unanswered until I do publish but I realized you then have no way to know I’m working on it. rest assured I am!
requests still open!!
I cannot express how important it is to brush your teeth and floss regularly. It's especially important as so many people don't have dental coverage and that preventative work saves you so much pain and money in the long run. I know it sucks and it is so hard, but you'll also feel so good after doing it. And when you start doing it regularly, you'll find your mouth and gums feel so much better. If you've already done it today, good job! I'm so proud of you and so happy for you!
This is the first tumblr blaze post I've seen that's made me go "actually yes, it's good if people see this"
i can not and i mean i can not stress this enough… make a bibliography as you do your research. i mean, make a fully formed, correctly cited bibliography as you work. just do it. i know i know you’re being lazy or you hate making citations or you’ll just get to it later or you don’t want to get distracted etc etc etc
whatever your reasons just make the fuckin bibliography
and while im at it… put the footnotes in properly as you are writing. just… do it. for future you. please. for your sanity. do it.
I love it when people tag a post “not X”…. like I understand it just means your blog is mostly devoted to one thing and everything else is tagged, but it will never not amuse me to see someone reblog one of my photos of a grizzly bear and tag it “not breaking bad” as though we were otherwise in danger of mistaking the bear for bryan cranston

you know what’s always bothered me? how people talk about their babies having “random weird fussy days” and they get mad about it right but the thing about that is...
babies don’t steadily grow, they grow in spurts, which means on a growth day they’re in quite a lot of pain ... but no one takes it seriously because a baby can’t communicate that they’re growing over a centimeter over night and that HURTS
like, massage your fussy baby ... theyre having a hard time ... theyre growing obscene amounts in a short period of time and need love and care ...
people will be like “my baby crawled yesterday but now theyre all fussy and acting like they cant crawl.”
ok i dont see you trying to run a marathon every day during a growth spurt when you did it yesterday ... fuckin chill. that baby is hurting.
everything about a babys growth is painful but no one talks about it??? why?! respect your baby and understand what amazing feats theyre accomplishing every day. geez. !!!!
doctors literally have to tell people “no you cant spoil your infant by holding them too much and helping them feel better when they cry” and tbh that alone is disgusting that people have so little regard for their babies they think providing adequate care to them is the same as “spoiling” them and will use their periods of growth and pain as examples of a spoiled baby. 😡
like did yall know youre not even supposed to wait for a newborn to cry before feeding them?? youre supposed to feed them before they cry because crying is actually hard on their stomachs and makes things worse!!! but people would apparently rather be annoyed at their child before feeding them????
There’s been multiple studies that show how children who were held a lot, talked to, dotted on, and had their feelings taken seriously as small babies/children have healthier brains than those who were treated like you said or worse.
Neglected kids have less function in their temporal lobes and are more likely to suffer from mental illness whether they cognitively remember the events or not. Another thing that has been known for decades now.
It starts at birth. Children MUST be cared for. Leaving them to sob hysterically or punishing them in any way for being in pain can end up dooming them to a sad life. This culture of letting your kid cry and even getting mad at them for it is exactly why the older generations typically has such a problem with emphasizing with others.
Love your kids.
“Ao3 needs an algorithm” no it doesn’t, part of the ao3 experience is scrolling through pages of cursed content looking for the one fic you want to read until you get distracted by a summary so cursed that it completely derails your entire search

With so many elections coming up worldwide it's probably a good time to remind everyone that tumblr once got infested with agents trying to convince everyone not to vote, or not to vote left because the candidates weren't morally pure enough.
Also a reminder that they were better at tumblr than most of us, comrade interloper was great at memeing. Like, the talent!
Anyway don't fall for it. There is no morally pure option.
I was reading a book from 1945, where the writer describes being a 16-year old girl in 1930 Germany, contemplating what to vote if she were allowed but finding no morally pure option.
The Nazis, in 1933, only needed less than 44% of the vote to end democracy in Germany and start working towards a war that led to the most horrific genocide in memory.
It is normal, then, for young people everywhere, to look for a morally pure option. It's not new, it's simply the unwillingness to contribute towards evil and that is good and noble and beautiful.
But it can be weaponised.
If you do not vote for the greatest possible good...
That can be taken advantage of by the greatest possible evil. Because it gives them space.
Because those 44% was not, and I'm certain, 44% of the entire population elligible for voting.
It was 44% of the people willing to vote at all.
Some, I'm certain, didn't vote for moral reasons. Would that they had.
Hitler might have never become head of the German government.
Vote for the greatest good on offer, to help drown out the greatest evil.
This is a callout post.
It’s called bedtime stories
