my cos boys

my blog has been around for a while. a lot of you following me now have kids or are considering kids.

no matter what you do and what precautions you take, no matter how active your kid is or how many sports they play, no matter how much you think this post will never apply to you, there may come a time in your life where your child gets sick and does not fully recover. there may come a time when they develop a chronic illness, an incurable medical condition, or become disabled. at any age. nobody is too young for this to happen to them. an accident, an illness, an injury, any one of the many genetic conditions out there without proper testing, something you thought they would recover from. any number of things here.

and if that happens. I need you to do this for me. I need you to look at your kid. no matter how much you wish nothing bad ever happened I need you to very seriously sit them down. and I need you to tell them

"I will love you even if you never recover."

and I need you to mean it.

promise me.

dude ADHD sucks so bad, it's like one of those audience input twitch streams where people can add new parameters to the game to screw you over for fun. "puddingtruck49 just paid 8 dollars to make you forget your debit card pin in the checkout line"

this? is this what you're referring to? yeah i think calling other people slurs is bad

reminder that the people this slur refers to, people with intellectual disabilities, are still campaigning to REDUCE/end its usage, not "reclaim" it. the r word used to be a medical diagnosis--it was never a 'nice' term and it was always used for ableist, and generally eugenicist, ends--and it is still included in several state laws, so self advocates with intellectual disabilities have been passing laws around the country to get this word out of laws. under no circumstance does it make sense to "reclaim" this term, especially if you are not affected by the ableism that people with intellectual disabilities face.

I feel like this at all times

I used to identify as a pacifist but then it clicked. Evil people rule the world because moral people think it's wrong to fight back. God knows we will have to.

this.^ the palestinians tried the peaceful way, it resulted in them getting massacared by their oppressors.

Damn I gotta catch up with the three weed smoking girlfriends comic

Krishna tells her daughter Arrowhead off for following safari cars too closely whilst her son Pac Man looks on in the background. Photographed in Ranthambore National Park by Aditya Singh, possibly early 2014.

This was shared as a "bad" joke but I was so charmed by it I've been thinking about it for days.

Moose at the next table: No they don't. I've been waiting here for an hour.
