Still My Fave After All This Time...

Jahara Jayde cosplay is one of my favorites.

Parenting and family relationships are not that simple as saying "don't do this". People are complex and more often than not, one theme does not equate to one result.

If your kid makes a mess, you tell them to clean it up, they will perceive it as a punishment. But it's also a lesson in responsibility and should be explained.

Any relationship requires efforts of communicating beyond what we merely assume. Being family doesn't change that. It would be the responsibility of the parent to explain and communicate reactions to actions if they are trying to establish "eff around and find out" lessons.

Honestly, the best parental strategy is not use the same approach all the time. Not to be surprising but some things aren't effective used over and over. So, don't be lazy and get to know your kids to figure out the lessons you need to impart on them.

for the love of god, do not use chores to punish your kids!!!! it's just going to make them struggle deeply to keep their houses tidy as adults since you made them associate necessary chores with punishment and suffering, and it's going to take years of therapy to undo. don't use chores as punishments!!!

I never saw this before. Albeit saw it happening live from my classroom window. Being a kid living through a tragedy is pretty different than being an adult, and on live tv.

I finished Iron Flame yesterday. I'm happy Tumblr is here to support me.

“Many of my movies have strong female leads - brave, self-sufficient girls that don’t think twice about fighting for what they believe in with all their heart. They’ll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a saviour. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.” -Hayao Miyazaki

Happy International Women’s Day!

Amazing list any fan should see

'I'm forcing you to talk about it, Anderson!' Fiery Bernie Sanders jabs ...

If there were ever a topic to maybe reach over the other side to come to agreement on, maybe it’s this. Forget about anything else because it’s too polarizing, but everyone needs medical care.

For you, and for me
