in addition to the fact that people just have different natural rhythms, a big reason why we can’t seem to go to bed as early as we “should” is that nighttime is, for many of us, our safest and most fulfilling time of day. we don’t have to work, we won’t be contacted by bosses or insurance companies or collection agencies or other suffocating life business… we’re likely only to be contacted by our friends, or by no one at all. night time is release; it’s ours. we can rest or recreate. we can do things we actually want to do. who would choose to cut that short?? just to usher in the next morning when our lives are not our own again? nighttime is precious and nothing could be more normal than the desire to embrace this
So, y’all remember that post that said animals in urban areas slowly became nocturnal to avoid encounters with humans? Apparently that includes humans.

I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(
hnn I WANT IT SO BAD
on closer inspection, it makes a lot of really obnoxious noises and is also Too Expensive. BUT FEAR NOT I found this slightly smaller dude wedged in the back!
IT HAS BITE ACTION, AND THAT’S THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS

I saw that people are reblogging the thread again, so I thought I’d give you all an update on how Wexter is doing!
(just fine)
Wexter And The Case Of Her Continuing Marvelously Naughty Garden Adventures
OP and Wexter can break all my toes and I would still send a thank you card
Wexter says SHE WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING (but she might chew your ankles a little bit maybe)
so it’s come to my attention that at some point this weekend Wexter blew past 100,000 notes, and I for one think that’s very cash money of her.
it’s been a few weeks, I suppose we should check up on the AHSGSHGAFB?!
ajdhf.
well that’s just,,,

Whatever your status on abortion is, if you can’t argue your point without resorting to creating the saddest possible scenario including an 11 year old girl who gets raped, you’ve lost.
You realize that is an actual thing that happens, right? We’re not just creating this scenario. We’re not pulling this shit out of thin air. We’re pulling it out of news articles. Recent ones at that.
I don’t understand why bringing relevant, real life situations into a discussion on abortion means one has ‘lost.’
@dysphorikal
Since Tumblr doesn’t like multiple links, I’ll bold headlines or specific names. You can Google it yourself.
1968 - Gerri Santoro. Another with tons of articles. She received a backalley abortion when safe abortion was still illegal. She bled out in a hotel.
Pre-Roe v Wade - When Abortion Was Illegal: Untold Stories - Film made in 1992 with people talking about their abortion stories before it was legalized.
Pre-Roe v Wade - Repairing the Damage, Before Roe - A doctor recounts the patients he encountered when abortion was illegal.2012 - Savita Halappanavar. There’s tons of articles about this. From Wikipedia: Savita was an Indian woman, living in Ireland, whose death led to the passing of the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act 2013. Medical staff at University Hospital Galway denied her request for an abortion following an incomplete miscarriage on the grounds that granting her request would be illegal under Irish law, ultimately resulting in her death from septic miscarriage.
2019 - An 11-year-old in Argentina was raped. A hospital denied her an abortion.
There’s plenty of negatives to denying abortion aren’t going to be detailed outright. You have to look at studies, which show the results of life after being denied an abortion.
General articles:
What Happens When A Country Bans Abortion - Romania under Ceausescu created a dystopian horror of overcrowded, filthy orphanages, and thousands died from back-alley abortions.
When Women Are Denied An Abortion, Their Children Fare Worse Than Peers - This isn’t to say people will take out their emotions on their children. But, if someone wants an abortion, they’re already admitting they cannot take care of the child to an acceptable degree. And anti-choicers are still forcing them - and eventually their children - into these situations.
Women denied an abortion more likely to stay in abusive relationships
UPDATE: The vast majority of women who receive an abortion say they cannot afford a childBefore Roe v Wade passed, even clergy helped, because they acknowledged how necessary abortion access is. The Surprising Role of Clergy in the Abortion Fight Before Roe v. Wade
Also
- India’s High Court Denies Abortion for 10 years old girl
- A pregnant 11-year-old rape victim in Ohio would no longer be allowed to have an abortion under new state law
- 2009 Brazilian girl abortion case (she was nine years old)
And also, hi. I was sexually abused since I was 5 years old and raped repeatedly. I got my period when I was 10. I could have fallen pregnant. I could have been that little girl. So I am never, ever going to let her slip through the cracks and allow her humanity to be pressed over in favour of a foetus.

Hey Goblins, uh
Did you know, that you can make an AWESOME journal for your adventures ALL ON YOUR OWN from a cereal box and paper/scraps that you likely have at home/can get from friends or family/you may find around your environment?
They’re called Junk Journals and they’re my entire life.
Im gonna do my best to walk you through how to make one! First, get you a mini cereal box! I use boxes from those cool multipacks of cereal that you can find at Walmart!
And then cut it out so it looks like this! (I already had one cut, so I’m gonna use that)
That “nutrition facts” side is gone become your spine!
Next, find some paper to use to decorate your cover! I was lucky enough to be gifted a bunch of scrapbooking paper, so I’m gonna use that, but you can also use newspaper, paper from books/magazines, junk mail, napkins, paper towels (excellent texture), etc!
Go ahead and glue that paper to your box (to cover the cereal logo) and cut it out! It’ll look like this;
Next you need to find your pages! Again these can be anything! Junk mail, envelopes, receipts, food wrappers, magazine/book pages, scrapbook paper, computer paper, construction paper, ANYTHING. Just grab a whole bunch!
You’re gonna want to fold them in half and cut them to the size of one of the covers of your box, and layer other pages inside of it to make your signatures, like this!
Each signature should be about 7-10 pages. You don’t want them too thick, otherwise the inner pages start sticking out when folded in half. You’re gonna have a LOT of these signatures, as you wanna fill the area in the spine as best as possible. For this one I’m using 7 page signatures. Here’s a pic to show just how much paper you’ll need
Each of these signatures are 7 pages, 6 signatures have only filled about half of the spine, so I’ll need probably 6 more.
Next you gotta figure out how you want them in your journal. Personally, I like to sew them into the spine, but you can also keep them in the spine with rubber bands, so you can have removable pages! (Be weary that rubber bands may break over time! So you may want to always keep extra bands near it to replace in case one snaps. This is why I prefer sewing them in) I find it best to look up on YouTube how to sew in signatures, just because having someone walk you through it where you can see what they’re doing is easiest. If you can’t access YouTube, there’s plenty of text tutorials on how to sew in signatures online, or you can message me! I’m not gonna go too into detail, but here’s the jist;
Okay so I’m a forgetful gob and I hecken forgot to take pictures as I was going along kahshshshsh
But essentially, I sewed in the pattern similar to the one I drew. The dots are where the needle goes all the way through to the back. I also like to use rubber band as an extra mode of support but you can do one or the other. I also like both cuz I can tuck stuff in em between the pages. Since I didn’t take more pictures; I’d really recommend looking up a how-to on YouTube or w/e if my badly drawn diagram isn’t clear enough (heh sorry about that)
Next, I glue fabric to the spine. It spruces it up quite a lot and holds the rubber bands in place, plus it give more support to the spine since there’s gonna be a lot of strain on it.
Only 10 photos per post, so I gotta post this and reblog it with the rest.
Here’s the journal with the fabric on the spine, I decided to go ahead and glue the excess to the rest of the cover too, cuz I liked how it looked ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Next step?
DECORATE the pages! I haven’t decorated this one yet, but here’s some pages I have completed!
Have fun with it! Make tuck spots and hideaways. Add folders and envelopes and make tags and things that dangle. Decorate the covers and the spine and make it your own! Add things as you find them! Anything! Even candy wrappers! This is really the ultimate goblin journal!
I hope y’all enjoyed this mini tutorial =3
