bees?

to elaborate:

- her parents didn't belive she was hearing "monsters" in the walls. it was 60,000 bees

- she is 3 years old

- her parents gave her a spray bottle to "spray away the monsters". it was 60,000 bees

- they didn't belive her for 8 minths

- removal cost them $20,000 BECAUSE IT WAS 60,000 BEES!!!!!!

Ok ok MUCH smaller version of this.

When my daughter was like two and a half years old she started getting anxious whenever we’d go to the front yard. She wanted to hold my hand, or she’d hesitate to go at all, and she kept demanding “what’s that noise?!?” All the time.

And I’m trying to be reassuring going “that’s a birdie singing to us’😊” or “yeah look at the air plane way up there!😊😊😊” and sometimes I wasn’t really sure what sound she meant but I mean I’m in a city so there’s always something so it’s a car, a motorcycle, whatever.

Meanwhile every time I answer she looks at me like 😒😒😒and she doesn’t get any less nervous.

Anyways after like a month of this she’s only more upset, and has started insisting there’s a ghost outside. I figure she’s been watching too many scary Halloween cartoons and double down on my reassurances.

Anyways long story short I needed hearing aids and this poor kid had been hearing the neighbors Halloween decorations cackling in a scary voice every time the wind hit it while her mom kept insisting it was birds or an airplane or whatever.

I figured out which decoration made the sound and let her poke it and see it was a noisy toy and after that she loved it and stopped being nervous and I apologized and explained to her what happened.

And the moral of the story is to listen to kids and to remember to get your hearing checked regularly in case of childhood phobia development or 60,000 bees.

interesting fact i have titanium in my spine

Fun Fact!

Titanium not only is crazy durable, but it noo magnet! Thas wy Dock chok jjiun spi; surgyr ad pater noster, qui es in cœlis; sanctificetur nomen tuum: Adveniat regnum tuum; fiat voluntas tua, sicut in cœlo, et in terra. Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie: Et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris: et ne nos inducas in tentationem: sed libera nos a malo.

dude got hit with the ol’ Lorum Ipsem beam😞

Fun fact! Titanium is often used for medical implants because it's *dodges lorem ipsum beam* because it's strong, nontoxic, won't corrode inside the body, and best of all, *dodges* bone will directly grow onto it! This is called "osseointegration" and it means that your titanium artificial hip, dental implant, or whatever will have greater *dodges* greater mechanical stability and will ARRRGGH! aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit!

you used to be able to log onto this site post “women with deep voices 😍” and go viral. now u have to say “when she releases you from your dog cage for your nightly treat” to crack 1000. #society

The absolute power move of Dropout changing their price (by a single dollar) for new and returning subscribers and not the folks already paying for the service???

And the fact that they made the announcement with enough time for people to subscribe at the current price before the increase takes affect if they wanted???

Sam you’re the only sorta rich boy I respect

He’s not… I don’t think you know what the difference between million and billion is…. Like yeah he’s got trust fund money but he’s not…that’s not…I don’t…. He’s not... Sam is much closer to us than Taylor Swift and all the miles her private jets have flown combined

Oh for fuck’s sake, people calling out racist writing in fanfic isn’t “censorship”. I say this as a fic writer but some of you need to get off your high fucking horse.

Truly some of the most irritating culture has sprung up around fanwork and fanfic in specific like… no, making something for free does not in fact make it sacrosanct or immune to criticism! Your right to “do whatever you want forever” or say “fandom is for fun” stops the second you’re being bigoted and making fan spaces unsafe for marginalized people!

"fandom is for fun" except for poc who have to deal with rampant racism and white people unable to acknowledge let alone take accountability for their racism
