the new family drama i’m obsessed with has been the saga of my eight year old cousin trying to understand how our uncle is related to our grandpa and not our grandma. the answer is our grandpa cheated on her with a nurse and had our uncle, but NO ONE wants to explain cheating and adultery to an eight year old so they’ve just been telling him to ask someone else. so far it’s gone my mom -> me -> his mom -> his dad and he still is no closer to an answer. we are very quickly running low on knowledgeable adults and i cannot wait to see where he goes if that trail goes dry
my roommate weighs in on the issue
my mom brought up a good point, which is the fact that this kid is heavily religious. was named after a biblical figure and watches bible retellings for fun religious. in his mind he cannot physically comprehend how you can have a child with someone you are not married to, which is a very interesting addition to this case.
i should also add that, when the concept was first brought up to him, he went, “so was grandpa the one pregnant???” and i’m so obsessed with the fact that his brain considered mpreg before literally any other possible explanation
have i not suffered enough already. was it not enough for youtube shorts to cover me. must this be my eternal fate
I know I already made a post about this. But ICWA is LITERALLY being challenged by a white couple that wants to adopt indigenous children to erase their culture and Christianize them. The tribe, whom has a say in who can take their children, is like “Nah, we don’t want our youth Christianized like you tride last time”
And the lawyer that’s helping the white couple try to overturn ICWA (so that they can erase the cultures of indigenous children) is doing it pro-bono (which means he’s not charging the couple anything).
AND that lawyer is a big time lawyer whose clients are usually oil and gas industries. He’s literally fighting for indigenous children to be ripped from their tribes and culture so there’s less indigenous people to protest big oil destroying their sacred land.
my stupid fucking aunt loraine bought us an air friar for our wedding present 🤦♀️ the apartments barely big enough for the two of us now weve got this dumb asshole flying around preaching at us … every time i get a migraine he tries to give me herbs and poultices 🙄
What if they came back loving? What if they came back in love. What if the necromancy worked and you cheated death and it’s everything you’ve ever wanted, but now they love you in a way they never did before and you cannot know if that is because they finally know the lengths you are willing to go for them, or because something in this deathless magic bound their soul to yours to guide them home and it left them no. choice.
You know that study that found when doing a blind taste test the majority of people prefer pepsi over coca cola so coke changed their recipe to taste more like pepsi, and people actually liked the new coke a lot less because the people who were buying coke didn’t want it to taste like pepsi they wanted their coke to taste like coke. That’s what a lot of the new changes tumblr is working on feel like.
