i hate how reward systems never work for me like i can’t just say “if i finish this assignment i can have a cookie” bc my brain is like “…..or u could just have one right now” and i can’t argue with that logic

Self-imposed deadlines don’t work either because I know the guy who set them and he’s full of shit

No matter what, you never deserve abuse.

  • You never deserve abuse because you’re too needy or clingy
  • You never deserve abuse because you “let it happen” or “didn’t fight back” or “didn’t stand up for yourself”
  • You never deserve abuse because you “let it get this far” or you “stayed this long”
  • You never deserve abuse because your abuser is your mother or father, sister or brother, other family member, your boyfriend, girlfriend, fiancée, husband, or wife
  • You never deserve abuse because you have a particular mental or physical illness
  • You never deserve abuse because you’re “too emotional”
  • You never deserve abuse because you were “asking for it”
  • You never deserve abuse even though you’ve made mistakes, or said something wrong, or haven’t understood something, or can’t remember something
  • You never deserve abuse for being “too much” or “not good enough”
  • You never deserve abuse for having off days or being vulnerable sometimes
  • You never deserve abuse for asking for help
  • You never deserve abuse, no matter how many times and how many ways your abuser justifies it or makes excuses for it.

Mom and I were talking about traveling to different planets and colonies on Mars and meeting aliens and stuff like that, and she paused and said, “If life on Earth ends and we need to flee to a different planet, we’ll all need to work together. But also the first time a man pulls some shit, all the women need to murder him so everyone’s clear that we’re restarting society and we’re not bringing that shit with us. We’re not doing this again.”

When I was in middle school, I took commissions from classmates for drawings of Spongebob characters for about a quarter a pop.  It was one of my first forays into “professional” cartooning, and only a small example of the monumental impact of this plucky underwater sponge.  

I know I’m not alone in believing that the show has left an indelible mark on the face of cartoon and internet history, and its aftershock will continue for many years.  

Rest in Peace, Stephen Hillenburg.  Thanks for the good times.
