so you're not supposed to reward your children throwing tantrums because that trains them that throwing tantrums works

what they do not tell you

is that the child continues to throw tantrums regardless, they keep returning to the strategy even though it never works

more bones headcanons because i love them 🤍:

- bones has a killer whistler! when they had worked in the mines in the past, it was an easy way to communicate— and they’d become the best at it, which made keeping them around a necessity. nowadays they whistle for various reasons. to sing, to communicate. they can whistle loud enough and high enough to shatter glass if they want to. as a party trick, mostly.

- they have claustrophobia. it’s not extreme, as it’s something they have and will force themselves to ignore based on the situation— but it’s clearly there if you take the time to focus on them in such situations. their hands get shaky, their eyes become dilated. if they start clearing their throat, as if they are choking; then they’ve fully freaked out.

- izan doesn’t really know how to drive! it wasn’t something that they were, well, taught. where else was there but where they were born to go ? they walk everywhere and a car isn’t a resource they can quite afford. suffice to say, perhaps don’t trust them to be your escape route.

BRUH a dude I know from work came in for the first time in months and I thought he looked different but couldn't figure out why?? So I asked if he'd changed his hair and he was like "BITCH I GOT TOP SURGERY"

My grandfather and my godfather (a beloved neighbor and dear family friend) had a long standing bet- for one dollar- about who would die first. Both of them being slightly pessimistic (in the funny way), they both insisted that they themselves would be the first to die. Any time my grandfather had a health scare, he’d gleefully call up my godfather to boast that he’d be passing “any day now” and he was sure to win the bet. It was a big family joke and they were always amiably sparring and comparing notes about who was in worse shape, medically speaking.

When my grandfather was in hospice care dying of liver cancer, my godfather was quite ill also. It took him great effort to make the journey to see his dying friend. As he came into the room, supported by a family member, he shuffled to my grandpa’s bedside and silently handed him a dollar bill. He was ceding his loss of the bet, as they both knew who was going first. My grandpa had been in quite bad shape for a while and was no longer able to speak but let me tell you he snatched that dollar with unexpected strength and literally laughed aloud. He knew exactly what the gesture meant and he couldn’t help but find the humor within the grief. It was the last time any of us heard my grandpa laugh, as he passed shortly after.

When I talk about my appreciation for “dark humor” I’m not so much thinking about edgy jokes, but rather the human instinct to somehow, impossibly, both find and appreciate the absurdity that is so often folded into the profound grief of life and death. When I tell this story I think it kind of perturbs people sometimes, but it’s honestly one of my favorite memories about two men I really deeply admired. I could never hope for anything more than for my loved ones to remember me laughing until the very end, and taking joy in a little joke as one of my final acts.

Every time there's a food recall that spreads from one company to the next, even from generic brands that are unique to the store selling them, it makes me realize the illusion of choice under capitalism hyped up by conservatives is a bunch of bullshit.

Oh and uh, don't drink apple juice for a while. Arsenic. And it's more than just Aldi and Walmart
