using tumblr age 23: [in the tags of a poll] SPINACH SWEEP🔥🔥🍃💪🏼💯

having worked in some flavor of housing-related social services jobs for a year, in a state that has some of the most robust shelter and public assistance programs in the country (i mean comparatively but it is a low bar) i can confidently say that every single person who has not interacted with this system in some way (and even many of those who have encountered it only through work and not lived experience) overestimates the amount of resources available to people who are poor/unhoused/otherwise struggling to make ends meet and and vastly, almost comically underestimates the amount of time, energy, and knowledge it takes to access them

A kid at work has decided that they don’t want to play with the kitchen set, and don’t want to play Barbies, but would instead rather take the them-sized stove and the Barbie-sized stove and pretend that they’re mommy and baby stoves.

The baby stove is currently at stove school, which is for stoves.

The mommy stove is at work, and apparently makes soup for a living, which I know because this kid is has been chanting, “I MAKE SOUP AND I DO IT ALL DAY / EVERY SINGLE SOUP SECOND, EVERY SINGLE SOUP WAY,” louder and louder and higher and higher to the point where it’s now either being sung by the world’s loudest mouse or the world’s most out-of-breath six-year-old.

reblog and put in the tags your country and whether you think en suite bathrooms are normal

anyways

i do think therapy recommenders on here wildly irresponsibly downplay its potential risks lmao starting obviously w/ the threat of psych and criminal institutionalisation which is structurally inherent to the patient-physician relationship but also the maybe more mundane risk of simply receiving treatment that is bad for you and counterproductive. i do not know where the idea came from that therapy is 'at worst useless'. at worst it fucks you up majorstyle

A therapist once told me that I was right to hate myself for not making enough money and I should fix that by enlisting in the military

when i was 18 i had a therapist who said i was really mean to her by listing the reasons i did not want to see her anymore. this did not foster in me an ability to speak up for myself

One of my favorite things is taking someone to the Great Lakes for the first time - or describing how you can fly over them and see only hundreds of miles of glittering blue water and no coasts at all; how they have their own Coast Guard (the only lakes to do so); that the Earth's rotation steers their currents; that they're studied using ocean models; that they have wrecked more than 6000 ships - and watch them realize that the word "lake" is misleading and that they had no idea of the size and majesty of them at all.

Some fun facts about her majesty, Lake Superior:

• It has a surface area of 31,700 sq. miles, roughly the size of South Carolina or Austria.
• It's incredibly deep and has enough water to cover all of North and South America to a depth of 12 inches.
• Waves over 30 feet have been recorded.
• Its deepest point is 1,333 feet, which is the third lowest point in North America
• Its average temperature is around 36 degrees Fahrenheit (2 Celsius), which inhibits bacterial growth in bodies, diminishing bloating and gas, and frequently shipwreck and drowning victims to sink to the bottom and never be recovered.

what if you were neil gaiman and richard siken endorsed destiel and then said he didn’t think your gay season of your tv show was that good. well it could happen in this crazy world
