I know this place…

Fictober19:  Day 2 Prompt:  “Just follow me, I know the area.” But I had to diverge a little because the one story I could think of for this exact prompt was fluff that relied in large part on work by @daedric-prince-of-pasta and others who contributed to the “is it a date? If not, make it one!” posts, but I didn’t have time to ask them about using it… so no fun fluff this time. Warnings:  well, it’s about the seductiveness of depression, the liar, so maybe…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know this place...this never ends well for me...

Just follow me, it whispers gently... a lover's beckoning call.  It pulls coyly at the hips; fingers trailing down the spine.

But, I know this place, and this never ends well...

Just follow me, it sighs wistfully... a delusion's longing coo.  It claws hungrily at the thighs; breath caressing familiar curves.

... I know this place, and this never ends well…

Just follow me, it cries beseechingly... a liar's pleading press.  Waves crashing on the shore, mesmerizing, metered steps to the abyss...

I do know this place, and it never ends... Until I end it.  Wake up!

Yeah, it happens... They are pages in the story of each of our lives.

I have stretch marks.

Reblog if you do too. Just to prove that it is more normal than what people actually think.

Reposting because everyone should have a good laugh in the middle of the week.

What Really Happens After the Apocalypse

Right now, the largest and most deadly wildfire in California history is burning. Last year, Hurricane Harvey drowned southeast Texas under punishing, endless rain; a month ago, Hurricane Florence …

The myth that panic, looting, and antisocial behavior increases during the apocalypse (or apocalyptic-like scenarios) is in fact a myth—and has been solidly disproved by multiple scientific studies. The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, a research group within the United States Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), has produced research that shows over and over again that “disaster victims are assisted first by others in the immediate vicinity and surrounding area and only later by official public safety personnel […] The spontaneous provision of assistance is facilitated by the fact that when crises occur, they take place in the context of ongoing community life and daily routines—that is, they affect not isolated individuals but rather people who are embedded in networks of social relationships.” (Facing Hazards and Disasters: Understanding Human Dimensions, National Academy of Sciences, 2006). Humans do not, under the pressure of an emergency, socially collapse. Rather, they seem to display higher levels of social cohesion, despite what media or government agents might expect…or portray on TV. Humans, after the apocalypse, band together in collectives to help one another—and they do this spontaneously. Disaster response workers call it ‘spontaneous prosocial helping behavior’, and it saves lives.

just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees

hello everyone welcome back to Tumblr 2, where you can find Nazis, homophobes, death threats, and people who want absolute strangers dead but hey, no tiddies right?

Oh, bloody Hell! I laughed so hard at this... What a dork Jespar can be!

I can’t stop laughing, for some reason Jespar wouldn’t stop sneaking or grinning like a madman and he kinda forgot about the concept of personal space
