When trains were introduced in the U.S, many people believed that that “women’s bodies were not designed to go at 50 miles an hour,” and that their “uteruses would fly out of [their] bodies if they were accelerated to that speed.”
I have so much respect for historical women not murdering every man they know
When people say they remember their childhood perfectly and not in bits and pieces with mostly a black void of nothingness like me
?? hoW in th e fuk ???
For a long time I’ve wondered if this is normal or a result of continuous verbal and emotional abuse.
This isn’t normal, it’s the result of abuse, doesn’t matter what kind. Your brain was preoccupied with surviving, not remembering and storing memories. I have two friends who had similar shit childhood that I had, and they don’t remember shit either. And it’s easier to live with no or little traumatic memories, than have all of it on autoplay all the time. I know it makes recognising abuse for the abused person harder, because most of the time there isn’t anything to remember, just little insignificant things and slivers of memory, but if you know the sings of trauma, it’s easier. Also it has to do with overactive parts of the brain during abuse, some parts are enlarged, some are smaller (prefrontal cortex, amygdala, just to name a few), hormone regulation is fucked because of adrenaline and hypervigilance, also abused people learn the harder way in a school environment due to memory problems.
Fantastic.
Me: is stunned when people remember their childhood because I don’t remember shit unless it was in the past 5 years
I can’t elaborate on this right now because I’m in class but I’ve been thinking all morning about how our frequent comparisons of cats (especially hairless) to goblins means we should really think more about cat-like goblins
I’m thinking like
goblins with mouths full of needle-sharp little teeth and eyeshine and a creepy tendency to stare without blinking at the things that catch their attention
but also
goblins who squint blissfully when they’re relaxing, goblins whose feelings are betrayed by the movement of their ears, goblin parents affectionately hoisting their infants up by the neck
goblins who have spent generations living in less-than-stable caves, developing a knack for landing on their feet no matter how far they fall (or how hard they’re thrown)
goblins with surprising leg strength, who can get up any vertical surface you put in front of them with a running start and a bit of scrabbling
goblins with literally no concept of furniture just perching on the arms of chairs or flopping out all over the gotdang floor. one really smug little goblin pleased as hell with herself cause she just sat down in a box.
You fool. You complete and utter fool. You left out the best part:
Goblin Toe Beans.
I wasn’t sure whether they should have outright paws or not, but I think you’re right. the ideal goblins are essentially small, hairless tabaxi
oh I was SO hoping someone would draw this!! this is very good and EXACTLY what I was envisioning and – hang on, holy shit, is that second one doing a surprised tongue blep??? absolutely superb.
