Strut.

I have exciting information for you! Bird bones are not entirely hollow, rather they are filled with large air pockets. I find the result both delightful and terrifically unsettling!

Genuinely think that every school should have few nonsensical rules just for the purpose that students can break them. A forbidden room, a wall you aren’t allowed to touch, a bowl of rocks you aren’t allowed to pick up or something. The thrill of breaking a rule is something that teenagers should be able to experience and learn how to experience. And there should be genuine, unpleasant consequences for breaking that rule, but not the kind that will affect your academic record. The kind of where it is instans detention because you picked up the forbidden rock. And yes, the teachers will be angry at you.

I think a lot of teenagers (at least in my school) would benefit from learning how to handle the feeling that comes from the fact that: yes, I am suffering consequences for my actions, but it is not the end of the world. I will serve my sentence and then it will be over and I am not a bad person for that.

And also for leanring to recognise that sometimes there are rules that are arbitary and breaking them can be fun and that sometimes there are rules where breaking them might genuinely hurt someone and breaking those is not cool and fun at all.

One of the bigger problems in our school at the moment is that a lot of teenagers have decided that hitting unssupecting others in the face with snowballs (which can be pretty darn hard and sharp in a right weather) is the coolest thing, and one child got a black eye and almost a trip to the hospital for it. And the logic of the troublemakers sounds to be “rules are stupid and boring and I want to be a rebel”. I suspect that if we had a statue or a wall that you weren’t allowed to hit with a snowball under the threath of immediate detention, we wouldn’t have so many human victims.

Also, I genuinely suspect that 90% of our ‘good girls’ would benefit immensely if they at some point ended up accidentally breaking a stupid and artificial rule, had to take detention for it, and then noticed that that was that. No end of the world, no lasting hatred from your teachers, no change of your self just because you fucked up something meaningless.

I demand that tumblr bring the crabs back. Tumblr should be the one and only social media with crabs that you can summon at the click of a button 24/7, 365 days a year. I think this would save this website.

This post on r/AmItheAsshole (and the OP’s follow-up responses) have me cry-laughing – please enjoy

im weirdly knowlagable in the history of soda i dont even drink soda why do i know so much about it

Now that the new season is looming, here are some predictions I have for Hermitcraft season 9!

- Mumbo is going to go completely ballistic. The man couldn't kill anything for a whole season, the minute he gets a wooden sword no animal mob or player will be safe (either that or he'll kill one thing and then have a crisis but my bet is that one thing will be Grian)

- First player death will be Joe Hills and it'll be him falling into a ravine

- Either that or Iskall is going to kill someone without meaning to again

- There's going to be some dispute between two people who want to settle on the same mountain and they're going to turn it into a hilariously drawn-out comedic rivalry because of course they are

- First shop is going to be either Grian or Impulse

- On that note idk how likely this is but a Grian and Impulse business empire would be SO overpowered please I want it

- Hilarious disparity between people who mesh season 8 in with season 9 and have a canonical path of travel between the two vs people who don't even mention it at all (read: Zedaph and Etho being Blissfully Oblivious)

- Cleo is going to punch Joe. That's not even a prediction at this point that's just a universal constant

- Place your bets now on which happens first: Mumbo makes a cult or Scar makes a pyramid scheme! I'm betting one or the other in the first ten episodes, bonus points if it's neither and Etho does both

I'm saving this to reblog a few weeks in and see how many Apollo's bullseyes I can get, feel free to add on!

Idk what parent needs to hear this but

Your kid’s room is their room. It’s not yours. It’s theirs. It their room. Knock before you enter. Don’t go through their stuff. Ask permission to use their things. I know you feel entitled to the space and the stuff because “it’s your house” or “you bought that bed” (or dresser, or clothes etc.) but you’re not entitled to it. Those are things you’re supposed to provide to your child. If someone gifts you a book it doesn’t mean they can come into your house and read it whenever they want, go through it or take it without asking.

Give your child some privacy please! I’m not saying to let them stay out late, let them lock their doors when they have guest over or, to just never check in on them. I’m saying to knock first. As permission. Let your child have boundaries. Because if you don’t they’ll grow up to be a “yes man.” They’ll grow up not knowing what healthy boundaries are and will be taken advantage of, walked on and abused. Don’t give your child an unnecessary rough start. Don’t be the source of their pain, stress, fear or anxiety.

You’re supposed to be their safe haven. And their room is supposed to be their safe haven. Being home, especially in their own room, shouldn’t be stressful. It should be comfortable. It should be safe.
