"Centipedes Don't Fuck" Is One Of My Favorite Animal Facts. There Are Plenty Of Sexually Reproducing

"Centipedes don't fuck" is one of my favorite animal facts. There are plenty of sexually reproducing animals that don't fuck per se (like a lot of fish) but centipedes don't even meet. Males just leave sperm packets lying on the fucking ground and females pick them up and take them home. They don't even hang out

I sat with a crying second grader today. (The age range is outside my wheelhouse but I was the most convenient adult.) He was crying, the other adults said, because his brother took a phone he was playing on. “Phone addicted,” everybody said. “If he would get up and play games with the other kids he wouldn’t be crying.”

He told me everyone lets his brother take things from him because his brother is younger, and doesn’t know better. He told me he doesn’t want to play because he’s tired, he has too many extracurriculars this summer and can’t get good sleep because “everyone in my camper is so loud when I’m trying to sleep.” He’s exhausted and only eight. His mom’s an acquaintance and told me she and the kid’s father are going through a separation — mom and four kids left the house to stay in a camper.

But people will seriously not listen to kids crying over seemingly minor things because on the surface it looks like a tantrum. If kids are given the space to articulate themselves they often will.

hey, literally don't fuck if you're not intO that I support you

Whenever i see those AUs where kid Stanley and Stanford are like trapped with their 30 year old selfs, all i can think of is how it would be very easy for Stanley to trust Bill, i mean, guy's charismatic as fuck, cant blame the kid, yknow?

And a little bonus because Bill Cipher has a gun new way to manipulate Stanford
