when people mentions r’s name in the same sentence as barty or evan and imply that he would ever spend time with them willingly and he sees these terrible posts and i go and check on him in the jar and find him curled up into a little ball amongst the twigs and the moss with his tiny spindly arms wrapped around his tiny spindly knees and i rap on the jar gently with my knuckle and i say buddy? hey little guy are you alright? because he is hiding his face but then he turns and he is all trembly and his lower lip is wobbling and there are tears brimming in his big brown baby cow eyes and the tip of his big wonky nose is all pink from crying and he hiccups and shakes his head no and i go oh princess. is it because people are telling those lies about you in tumblr? and he nods his little head and his shoulders are shaking and i have to give him a little thimble of warm apple juice to cheer him up. so next time just think about that maybe

In case no one told you growing up

Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don’t put them in the dryer.

If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)

Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.

You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)

Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.

Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.

To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.

Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.

Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.

If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.

Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.

After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.

Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.

Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.

its christmas eve and look whos on tumblr

all of us

today i wrote zero words! but i did think about my story twice in passing. that probably counts for something

ok so i'm regressing (back in the supergirl fandom). happy december folks. and i would just like to say -- if you still believe the super friends were the Good Guys™, then you are wearing BLINDERS. like ok, the whole point of the show is that there are no such thing as Good Guys and Bad Guys. But also, even if there were, Ms. Billionare Weapons Manufacturer and Alien ICE are not anywhere near the nice list. I'm sorry, you're telling me that that the secret government black ops group that held aliens in SOLITARY GLASS CAGES with no trial or charges and no way to defend themselves was the good guy? idgaf about kryptonite, that's despicable. not to mention contracting kara's friends off the street to hack the fuck out of everyone ever? no warrants, no judges, no oversight. and then consistently involving l corp? despite the fact that they keep killing people left right and center? yall what are you ON what really gets me is lena's "kara you would be playing god" line in s6. guys. guys. i hate to break it to you. but what would you call what you have been doing for the last 6 years? the harun-el experiments? the universe fuckery (less kara's fault)? medusa at the end of s2? don't get me started on that, what the fuck. these people are walking human rights violations i call it comfort copaganda for a reason, ok? this shit is wildly unethical and a little horrifying. i'm not saying that these characters are unlovable -- you can pry supercorp out of my cold, dead hands. but i am saying that the criticisms -- of lena, of the deo, of alex -- you see in supergirl fandom (fics, textposts, fanart, etc) are a good thing. and quite frankly, more interesting than the DEO Knight In Shining Armor approach. ty to the authors and bloggers and artists who challenge that kind of status quo we have in this fandom. you're my favorites.

If you have Spotify reblog this and tag what your number one song on your “on repeat” playlist is.
