Republican Hypocrisy

[thatstheproblemwithnapkinman]

"adhd isn't a disability"

breaks down over trying to start tasks until he deadline is stupidly close

unable to do basic chores unless it's like 4am and then the whole damn house gets cleaned

speaks too fast

tangent and tangent and tangent. makes social situations hard

literally unable to stop themselves from interrupting people mid sentence (and the constant "*interrupts*- sorry, please continue")

knows what they want to say, cannot find the words, even if it's something basic

auditory processing disorder (pretty common with adhd), like how do you explain that you can hear but your brain has minecraft server lag and the chat will appear soon

hyperfixations, and people thinking they are special interests when they are not (they are short term, literally stops you from basic care like eating and drinking when in) edit: it was brought to my attention this comes across like special interests are easier to live with which is not the case, please do not take that away from this post!!!

impulse purchases making bank accounts cry

all or nothing. not hungry to pain. don't need to pee until pain. you get the picture

cannot sit still, like actually can't, constant moving and shuffling which people think would be cute but actually just pisses people off

doesn't have a fidget toy, not bc they are popular but bc they would have to put it away bc dylan over there got a fidget spinner and has been loudly playing with it (dylan is neurotypical)

cannot do anything if there is something else to do that day, must wait

just stfu it is a disability

Zelenskyy had already agreed to sell Ukraine's rare earth minerals to the UK...back in January!

Q: Who put baby chicks 🐣 & mice 🐀 into a blender to prepare meals for his pet falcon?

A: The same ENVIRONMENTALIST who

anonymously disposed of a bear 🐻 carcass in Central Park

prefers eating the eyes of the rat before the body

covered up his kid's faces with trash bags so he could re-stock his "roadkill" freezer with the carcass of a freshly "decapitated" whale 🐳

"I am who I am. I'm not a church boy. I have so many skeletons in my closet that if they could all vote I could be elected king of the world."

has anyone been watching post episode press? apparently rome is claiming kyle said smth cancelable. normally i don’t back white men but…seems awfully suspicious and convenient 🤨

[theatrical-penguin]

I enjoy the Tumblr live blogging of Survivor but watching live means SO many horrible political commercials

[vintageseawitch]

i urge people to realize that if you don't vote, it literally isn't hurting any candidate. it's hurting other vulnerable citizens. you get on your soap box, making claims like, "it's their fault for giving us a bad candidate" is literally only giving you an ego boost. in your efforts to fight the system you're inadvertently allowing the greater evil to win.

it completely sucks. i hate this timeline. it sucks that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. the elite have made it this way.

i need you to realize that this isn't a normal election. Project 2025 makes it basically existential. if you believe we live in a fascist state now just wait if they're allowed to implement this on a national level. think they'll take us back to the 1950s? nah. think of it as us being stuck in the 1800s but with modern surveillance technology. they'll implement the Comstock Law so anything they deem sexual - abortion drugs, contraception, condoms, sex toys, etc - can't be mailed. they will not allow pregnant women to go through chemo. they want to keep data trackers of periods. they want to keep track of stillbirths, miscarriages, etc. it's beyond what it used to be; it will be worse.

they will consider transgender people, merely existing, as pornography. they want to ban pornography. they want to re-define what pedophilia means & it will conveniently consist of LGBTQIA+ people & they want punishments to be SEVERE. they will also punish anyone - teachers, librarians, authors, etc - for handing out porn (this means any books they don't like).

they want to do mass deportations, the likes of which haven't been seen in this country. they want to remove natural born citizen rights. anyone not white is at risk.

they don't think climate change is "real" & so any good that has happened as a result of this government- NOAA, the EPA - will be gutted. they want to sell National Parks & other natural areas to anyone who wants to destroy them to harvest their resources. the days of Nixon (who started the EPA) are dead. this is very serious especially since climate change is the biggest threat to humanity's survival.

i urge you to re-think that both parties are exactly the same. one will be chosen & will be worse. i'm sorry it comes down to this but you not using your voice at this point us tragic. you will be badly affected as well if trump is re-elected & if you believe that the USA deserves this then welcome to this sinking ship; you're going down with the rest of us.

please never stop talking about Project 2025/Agenda 47. YOUR VOICE DOES MATTER. PLEASE VOTE. check your registration status often. vote early if you can 💙

Planning the Perfect College Tour With Your Teen: A Step-by-Step Guide

Plan a college tour with your teen that is exciting rather than an overwhelming experience. Visiting campuses in person helps your child get a feel for the environment, assess academic programs, and imagine themselves as a student there. To make the most of your college visits, follow this step-by-step guide.

Before the Tour

1. Make a List of Colleges

Start by working with your teen to create a list of potential schools. Consider factors such as location, size, academic programs, extracurricular activities, and campus culture. If your teen is undecided about a major, look for schools with a wide range of strong programs.

2. Schedule Visits in Advance

Many colleges offer guided tours, information sessions, and meetings with professors or students. Check their websites and book these experiences early, especially during peak times like spring and summer breaks. This ensures a structured visit and an opportunity to ask questions directly to admissions staff.

3. Group Schools by Region

If you’re visiting multiple schools, plan your route strategically to minimize travel time. For example, if your teen is interested in schools in the Northeast, map out visits to several campuses in the same trip. Avoid overpacking the schedule to allow time for reflection and discussion.

4. Research Each School

Encourage your teen to research each college before visiting. Review their academic programs, student organizations, housing options, and career services. Together, create a list of questions to ask tour guides, admissions representatives, and students.

5. Consider Virtual Tours First

If traveling isn’t feasible, many schools offer virtual tours and online information sessions. These can help narrow down choices before committing to an in-person visit.

During the Tour

6. Take Notes and Photos

After visiting multiple campuses, details can blur together. Take notes on your impressions, key statistics, and standout features. Encourage your teen to jot down their thoughts and snap photos of important landmarks, dorms, and classrooms.

7. Ask Questions

Don’t be shy about asking questions. Some useful ones include:

What are the most popular majors?

What types of internships or job placement services are available?

What is campus safety like?

What’s a typical day like for students?

8. Explore Beyond the Official Tour

While official tours provide valuable insights, take time to explore on your own. Visit the library, sit in the student union, eat at the dining hall, and observe student interactions. If possible, talk to current students to get their candid opinions on life at the school.

9. Check Out the Surrounding Area

A college isn’t just about the campus—it’s also about its location. Explore nearby neighborhoods, restaurants, shopping centers, and transportation options. Consider how accessible the school is from home and whether the surrounding area feels safe and welcoming.

After the Tour

10. Debrief with Your Teen

After each visit, take time to discuss first impressions. What did they like or dislike? How did the campus make them feel? Encourage them to compare notes and reflect on whether they can picture themselves thriving there.

11. Rank the Colleges

Once multiple visits are completed, help your teen create a ranking based on their priorities, such as academics, campus culture, extracurricular activities, and affordability. This helps streamline the decision-making process when application season arrives.

12. Follow Up

If a school stands out as a top choice, encourage your teen to take additional steps, such as attending virtual Q&A sessions, connecting with current students, or scheduling an overnight stay if the college allows it. Sending a thank-you email to admissions representatives or tour guides is also a great way to demonstrate continued interest.

How to Plan a College Tour

A well-planned college tour can make a significant difference in your teen’s college selection process. By preparing in advance, making the most of each visit, and following up thoughtfully, you can help your teen feel confident in their college decision. Enjoy the journey—it’s an exciting milestone for both of you!

it's not a real Survivor finale without a thunderstorm warning interrupting every 30 seconds

[amelikos]

Sango being a loudmouth who goes at her own pace and often questions orders, yet cowers at any sign of an authority figure intimidating her is such an intriguing contrast in her character.

She quickly complied and behaved when Hamber asked her and Onyx if they were protesting his orders in HZ024. Kaede glaring at her and scolding her after she made a mess of the cooking competition in HZ047 actually worked, and Sango felt cornered enough that she decided to leave. Kihada explaining the battle rules to her in HZ055 and Aoki telling her that her personal rules don't apply in society got her frustrated and upset enough that she just ended up leaving the battlefield.

There are just many recurring instances of Sango reacting in similar ways towards authority figures. They don't necessarily have to raise their voice at her, yet Sango feels easily intimidated and overwhelmed by implied threats and criticism.

That rotten feeling when you've finished chapter 45 in its entirety, but you still have to finish writing chapter 44. Ugh. Such a difficult chapter. So raw and emotional, I'd love to read it! Why do I have to write it first???
