This was my second trip to @target looking for my beloved Citrus and Peach Rose scented @soapboxsoaps! Imagine my surprise when I saw it was only $2.99 at Target through April 7th! Winning! Soapbox doesn’t dry your hands out like thin or cheaply made hand soaps. Their products have aloe and Shea butter to restore moisture! My favorite thing about Soapbox is that it keeps my hands soft even when I don’t have lotion available #lazyGirlProblems. Hurry up and head to target while they are on sale because they are going fast!! #soapequalshope #target #soapbox #ambsoap #ambcollab (at Target Abington Township)

my unpopular opinion is that i hate tiktok because now people just publicly watch loud ass videos in public spaces with no regard for anyone else. 100% it was not this bad with youtube, it’s such a different thing with tiktok. put on headphones. you are grown.
Girl……
This is it! This is what social media/smart tech have done! They’ve rotted away any distinction between private and public.
Yes, we do have the right to make demands on public behavior. Of course we do. Have you never heard of laws and etiquette? I’m not allowed to grocery shop naked. You can’t rummage through my purse. I can’t have a work meeting in the middle of a movie theatre.
I remember when it was taboo simply to answer your cell phone in public. The person answering would apologize and try to go to a more private area. Then public calls were normalized. Then putting people on speaker. Then listening to music without headphones. Do you know how many times I have hiked up a mountain or driven to the beach, only to be met with someone blaring shitty top 40 music from their portable speaker, because Heaven forbid you go one hour without noise?
Old woman yells at cloud and all that, but I can’t believe someone is not only admitting this behavior, but saying it’s a good thing! No one likes you! You’re a menace!
BEING INCONSIDERATE OF OTHERS IS STILL BAD.
It was obnoxious when it was youtube.
It was obnoxious when it was music.
It was obnoxious when it was the radio.
It was obnoxious when it was dudes wanting to talk to you instead of letting you just read your freaking book.
Do you want to be this guy? Because being obnoxious in shared spaces is how you become this guy.
Wear your damn headphones like an adult participant in the social contract.
ive been getting really deep in the weeds about the speed force and its properties lately which has brought up a multitude of questions that maybe someone who has read more flash comics than me can help me out with.
so at the very end of Mercury Falling, there’s a little excerpt from Iris’ book which is: “the speedsters draw their energy from an extradimensional field that lies beyond the speed of light. Neither cognizant nor sentient.”
which makes perfect sense, the speed force is literally the manifestation of motion: energy being force and distance, distance being speed and time. It’s a physics formula imagined as a real place you could go.
butthen the excerpt continues: “it nonetheless serves as a Valhalla to speedsters past, hosting their spirits and using their powers wisely, apparently passing it to those it deems worthy.” and the narration is accompanied by Max getting his powers returned to him, and explicitly “Deemed Worthy” by the speed force.
the whole thing with speedsters living on in some way shape or form within and even through the speed force has long since been established, but this idea that the speed force is simultaneously non-sentient and yet still can make value judgements of people is eating my brain. Because that means that the speed force has to have some form of consciousness, and that consciousness is explicitly stated to be every single speedster that has come and gone.
so the speed force… has to be fundamentally biased, right? It chooses conduits; Barry, Wally, Max, etc. And if when speedsters die they’re subsumed into the joint-consciousness of the speed force, necessarily any new conduits chosen are appropriate to the values held by all the previous speedsters: they pick people like them.
but being a conduit is also provably genetic and not a Chosen One thing. Bart ostensibly got his powers because he’s a direct descendent of Barry Allen, you can’t exactly do a personality test on a fetus. Or is it because the speed force is extradimensional and therefore can see the whole timeline and understand based on that that Bart was a good choice to have speed powers? But if that’s the case, why do so many villains who categorically do much more harm than good still have superspeed? If the speed force can deem some people worthy of speed and some people not, 1. why is it genetic, and 2. why do the people who use it for harm still have it?
The speed force has to have some kind of parameter of worthiness in order to choose who’s worthy, so is it literally just familial favoritism? Bart and Jai and Irey have powers because Barry Don and Wally all have connections to the speed force, and the speed force likes Barry Don and Wally so it lets their kids have super speed as a treat? I guess?
But then it hasto be at least a little bit genetic because otherwise why would Thad have super speed? There’s no reason for the collective consciousness of the speed force to deem him worthy of anything, he has no real emotional connections with anyone in the speed force, and the guy who came up with the whole Inertia Project thing is in no way connected to the speed force so like? What is it?
Is the speed force a random Chosen One generator or is it a Chosen Bloodline thing? If it can choose whether or not a person is worthy of speed, how does it make that decision? What is the criteria? Is it an extradimensional infinite force acting indiscriminately or is it the collected consciousness of a bunch of dead people???? im violently eating rocks like potato chips i hate comics
PC culture isn’t killing Halloween or humor, you’re just a vapid vacuous nonentity whose two remaining neurons can’t garner enough energy to spark a singular remarkable thought. You aren’t edgy for “insulting snowflakes”. You’re the human equivalent of finding dog feces on your shoe - unfortunately all too common with a nauseating effect that one doesnt wish to invite into their home.
Thinking about giving out creativity advice? Ask yourself these things:
• is this advice for creativity, or productivity?
• is it based in compassion, or capitalism?
• is it only applicable to people like me?
• could it put people in risky mediums in harm’s way, or cost them a lot of money?
• do I actually know what creativityis?
A risky medium could mean anything from chainsaw carving to grizzly photography or endless other things. It’s all relative, and everyone has a different level of risk they can afford.
The ever-popular “ignore your feelings and just do it” advice doesn’t consider the watercolour artist who can’t afford extra paper. Or the young model, alone in NYC, who was offered a shoot with a renowned but shady photographer. Or those with physical limitations who can easily cause themselves irreparable harm. It ignores flow, intuition, self-care, and integrity—all requirements of genuine creation.
True creativity requires listening to your inner guidance and being honest with yourself about where each feeling comes from. Don’t proceed while out of alignment! Your results will be out of alignment too!
Don’t put other people’s opinions ahead of your inner knowing just because they seem successful. You may not even want the type of success they have. These people are often overworked and miserable.
When you need guidance or inspiration, your intuition is all that matters. It’s essential to your safety, happiness, wellbeing, and creativity that you never ignore your inner guidance (aka your feelings). It’s a simple system. Don’t numb it for the sake of productivity. You will crash and burn.
Address your fears and resistance in a safe way through self-honesty and reflection, not risk-taking. Follow joy, passion, and inspiration! Steer clear of what doesn’t feel right! This is all it takes to stay inspired and aligned.
You’ll always encounter negativity and resistance on the path, but if you want to stay in flow keep looking for downstream solutions. Don’t let the unhealthy choices of others influence you. You can be inspired, successful, and free, and your inner guidance is the key!
The road to the next big reality show has many twists, turns and challenges, but we have yet to meet the the people whose stories will drive the show. While the final casting has yet to be announced and/or solidified, we sat down with three smart, talented finalists to find out more about them. Here’s Julie’s story, in her own words:
—————————————–
OM: Tell me about yourself
Julie:I just turned 30, I’m single, never been married, no kids, I live alone in Dartmouth, Mass. I like to travel. I like going out, I like sports, I like the gym. I mean I don’t really have any baggage, I don’t have any past relationships that are holding me back from anything, so at this point of my life (I’m) trying to figure out where I’m going next. I mean I have a bachelors in marketing, I think of myself as a pretty smart woman. It’s just at this point I’m a little lost because I’m so used to making that fast cash and basically doing what I want, when I want, if I want to get up one week and go on vacation I have no problem doing that. I just put in an hour later at work and I do what I want.
As far as that goes, that’s pretty much my life right now.
OM: What words would you say people use to describe you?
Julie: Sexy, intimidating, funny.
OM: What is your opinion of New England?
Julie: I like New England, I like the sports in New England, I like the summers, I mean there’s a lot of good things but… the weather kind of sucks. The people can be kind of…(trails off). I was living in Florida and the people are so friendly down there and up here people are like, “Eh” or angry. I’ve lived here my whole life so there’s a reason why I’m still here, but I don’t know (what to else to say)..
OM: Any causes you’re passionate about or any extracurricular activities you have? Any interests you have that’s unique to you that people don’t really know about?
Julie: Alright, well if there was a cause that I would definitely support, it would be addiction because I lost my mom to addiction and I have a sister that’s a major addict. I had, you know, friends and boyfriends that have been addicted to drugs as well. That’s a cause that I think really needs to be more recognized and there should be more knowledge about because, again, I lost my mom to alcohol and I watched her first-hand drink herself to death. There’s such a stigma to it where people are just like “Oh, well it was her choice to do that. She made her bed she can lie in it” kinda thing. And it’s kind of not fair because it's…I really do believe it is a disease and its just like cancer or whatever else that may be it. I think it needs to be recognized that its a disease and not (encourage others to) judge people so much for being an addict. It is a huge epidemic and it’s a huge problem. That’s something I’m passionate about.
As far as extracurricular activities, I love basketball. I used to play in high school and I was really good. I like sports, I love to dance and go out, get on the dance floor and just tear it up.
OM: What drives you? What motivates you? How do you like to live your life?
Julie:Obviously I have to make a living, but what definitely drives me is that I’ve always liked nice things and I like to travel. I’ve been in the industry because the money’s good and I never really came from money so that’s what kinda hooked me in the first place. It’s like easy money. Going to work (often means) I’m going to party but I’m getting paid too. What drives me is having nice things: having a nice car, having a nice home, traveling and seeing the world. That’s basically what the whole drive behind my hustle is.
OM: How has your process been, talking to Annmarie about the show and being interviewed and things are moving along; What is this like for you as a finalist?
Julie: it’s interesting and it’s exciting and it’s one of those things that I don’t want to get too excited about it - like if I don’t get casted - then I’ll kinda be bummed. (But) It’s a new experience and I think it would be cool. I’m really interested and I’m excited for what can become of it.
OM: What would you like people to know about you? Or anything you would say if you had a soapbox: about yourself or about life or about anything?
Julie: You can only have one life and it’s what you make of it. My whole life, I’ve been through a lot, I was on my own at a young age, I lost both my parents and I still went back to school and I held my head up high and I still worked and I got shit done and I didn’t let that get the best of me. I just kept moving and you can’t…(pauses). I don’t know why I’m here on Earth, I’m think I’m here for a reason. I’ve been through so much and I think I’m just such a strong person. At this point, I’m just very happy with who I’ve become and how my mom raised me. I still wake up everyday and I come look at myself in the mirror and I’m completely happy with who I am. It took me a long time to get to that point and I’m finally there and now I’m just…you know, I’m living my life and I’m enjoying every minute of it. And at the end of the day I’m a good person: I’m honest, I’m loyal, I’m an awesome friend. I mean I have a lot talents that my mom, thank god, she blessed me with.Yeah…I’m happy.
I’m writing this from personal experience and from being involved with many circles within Pagan communities. There is nothing more abhorrent to me than acting or feeling superior to another person or group of people simply because of differing opinions, especially in regards to religious or spiritual influences.
Over the last 10 or 15 years, the term Wicca/Wiccan has been used with negative connotations to describe people who one believes to “not be a true witch.” Does anyone even really know what a true witch even is? Can someone please define it in a way on which we can all agree upon because if you simply google the definition of witch you have about a billion different answers.
I’ve seen all the excuses about Wicca - it was a made up religion, it perpetrated sexual fantasies of its creator, it has no real connection with Paganism, etc.
Yes, we all know the history, but religions change over time. Regardless of if you hated Gerald Gardner, he created a religion that became widely popular and like most religions branched off to create new sects that have influenced the people we see today. You can’t sit here and tell me that a lot of the Pagan practices we see today don’t have some sort of influence from Wicca.
As hard as people try to deny this, the truth of the matter is, Wicca made the craft more accessible to everyone. I highly doubt we would have as many practitioners we see today if it wasn’t for this religion. Wicca may not be everyone’s path, but I know most of us used it as a stepping stone to where we needed to go. In fact, I know practitioners who started with Wicca and found their niche and now participate in this degradation. What’s the point of trying to degrade people starting out or trying to find their footing? It takes a lot of courage to call yourself a witch and then just be trampled on by the very people you through were your brothers and sisters?
I say nay.
So before you go off, bashing someone for practicing Wicca or if they call themselves a Witch, take a good long look in the mirror. Does it really matter? Do you even know what a “true witch” would practice? No, we don’t. Times change, and while there may be some practices tucked into the far reaches of the world, untouched by technology who may or may not practice the Old Ways, it doesn’t matter to me if they’re Norse, Celtic, Eclectic, Dianic, Alexandrian, or whatever. Let people call themselves a Witch.
Witches aren’t a certain race, a certain sexual orientation, a certain age, a certain path, a certain gender, a certain pedigree, a certain practice, a certain look, a certain freaking moon sign.
If the Earth calls to you through Wicca, then just know, I won’t degrade you here. You can practice your magic however you please and follow whatever path you wish.
I guess I feel like, even though it’s hypocritical of me, I have to say something.
I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole lately with a band I very much love and admire and their members’ romantic relationships. Healthy relationships, dysfunctional relationships, quiet relationships, angry exes lashing out because of failed relationships, and even speculative relationships within the band. (Go ahead, fucking guess who.) I hit a wall today, though, after finding an old live journal post with links to at least two dozen short YouTube clips as this user’s evidence for their master post, and I realized a few things.
Who fucking knows. Like really, who knows? They do, and that’s for them to know and us to stfu about. Not speculate about — shut the fuck up about.
“Famous” people don’t get to have relationships like we do. So yes, maybe they make decisions that we say to ourselves/each other: “I would never do that,” or “What were they thinking?!” or EVEN “How wholesome.” They do what they can to make things work in their world, and when things don’t work, we can’t really judge, because it’s pretty much impossible for us to empathize. Even when things do work, we can’t usually relate.
They’re people too. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read about people who supposedly stan certain entertainers drag them/their (former) partners through the mud for doing things we’ve all done. Imagine your worst moments. Now imagine your worst moments being thrown in your face over and over for years by not only the people who hate you, but who claim to love you, on a global scale!
Some entertainers don’t know how to handle things the way the average person does, because they’re not the average person. Maybe they got famous too young or too fast. Maybe they never got to date because instead of working some shit job or going to college, they were touring the country. Or maybe romantic love is not their priority. Whatever the situation, maybe when love does comes their way, they don’t know how to handle it.
We, as fans, shouldn’t let these things change our opinions of them. Unless it’s something terrible, like convicted or blatant assault.
We should stop digging for this shit. If they want to give us a view into their private lives, that’s cool, but it’s more likely than not just a teeny tiny window, not an entire glass house. If they don’t want to give you shit, then they don’t want to give you shit. That’s cool, too. The important thing is to let entertainers entertain you and end it there.
I took this at a protest. The soap box has been a reoccurring theme in my life, and holds special place in my identity. Everyone deserves a voice. Never fear speaking your mind. Step up, and with pure intentions you will be heard by the right people.
I was going to write a big ol’ stream of consciousness about drawing challenges, living in a merit-based society, and how pressure to meet these social goals can lead to a higher output while killing the artistic quality of what you make, as well as any pleasure that comes from it - but we all know this, and it sounded whiny and contrived. So I’m just gonna say this:
Life is a daily challenge in and of itself. Be kind to yourself. Take care of yourself. And thank you for liking my art and following me - I wish I had more time to post stuff — it’s just hard sometimes, y'know?
I discovered Tumblr about a year ago. It turned from a guilty pleasure to an addiction to a conduit for my own brainwashing. I don’t know if it was the hypnosis files or just the constant bombardment of images as I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled. Either way, I cannot deny now that my whole way of thinking, my entire sense of self, has been rewritten.
The difficult part: I am married with kids. And he is not interested in any of this. Even subtle suggestions have been rebuffed. He’s a nice man, but he is interested only in the woman I used to be and pretend to still be.
I’m not sure where to go from here. I’ve tried giving this up and going back to who I used to be. And it works sometimes, for a while, at least. I’ll be away for a few days, maybe even a few weeks. But then I come back. I cannot help myself. And each time it just gets stronger…
If you know my blog, you know that I love bimbos. I don’t think that every girl should be a bimbo but I do think the world would be a much better and happier place if it had more bimbos in it and if it was friendlier and more welcoming for bimbos.
Having said that this next part might sound strange, but I have some hard truths for you. Your first priority MUST be your kids! Most of the time I believe that a Husband’s and wife’s first priorities must be to each other, children being a close second, but if you leave your Husband even though He might be devastated, He is an adult and would be able to take care of Himself. He might even find a new wife some day. But you are the only mom your kids will ever have. They depend on you. I do believe that it is possible to be a good mom and to be a bimbo. It’s a tricky balance to find but it is doable. It is a lot easier of course if you have a supportive partner, but even as a single bimbo I think that you could make it work. You might not be able to be as bimboey as you would like all the time but you could do it. But your first and last priority HAS to be your kids. Whatever decision you make, you need to make it in such a way that the kids are cared for and feel safe and loved.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s not dump your Husband just yet. It sounds like you have only given Him hints of what you want and how you want to be. Is that right? Have you told Him explicitly what you want and the type of life that you want to live? I have noticed that most people never tell their partner exactly what they want, they drop a few hints, without explaining how important it is to them, the partner responds less than enthusiastically and then they get depressed and give up.
If that sounds like a difficult conversation to have then get some help. I suggest finding a kink friendly marriage counselor.
(Disclaimer: Not all kink friendly therapists are created equal. some may be comfortable counseling you on kinky scenes in the bedroom but may not have experience with 24/7 power exchanges, or you may find one that has dozens of Master/slave clients but is totally weirded out by this whole bimbo thing. So you may need to shop around to find someone who is the right fit.)
Have a few sessions solo with your therapist and discuss developing a plan for talking to your Husband.
Side note: A lot of times in situations like this I see people offer advice along the lines of trying to secretly get their partner hooked on the same stuff that they are into. I’m not a big fan of that approach. Having more sex is almost always good. And it will be helpful when you have your talk with your Husband if He has a per-existing frame of reference to what you are talking about, and even better if He has a positive association with them. BUT you really can’t change the way that people feel about things at their core. Even with hypnosis it always works best with their enthusiastic consent and participation. Don’t try to sneak your kinks on your partner.
Also don’t kid yourself, as alluring as the bimbo life might seem it’s not a sucking on Cocks and lollypops. the bimbo kink, really any kink, can be very isolating if you don’t have someone to share it with, and finding that someone can be very hard.
For example, let’s say that there are 10,000 eligible bachelors in your city, and maybe 1,000 of those that you would actually want to date, when you add a kink on top of that the number might drop to 50-20, and if it is a niche kink like bimboisim and hypnosis then you might be lucky to find two or three in your entire city who shared that kink.
And while some bimbos love the single girl bimbo life, a lot find it super challenging to be a bimbo without a Man to depend on, to please, to focus their sexual energy on, and who can do the big thinking for them. I suspect it is why you see so many bimbo blogs fade out. Without an active and supportive partner it is really hard to keep it going.
I don’t want to completely scare you off from what you enjoy. My whole mission here in Tumblr is to help and support bimbos. If this is truly the only way that you can be happy you should go into it with your eyes open.
Which brings up one last point, is this really the only way that you could be happy? If despite your best efforts you just can’t get your Husband on board, if you decide that you don’t want to leave Him, can you see any other kind of life where you are happy? If that’s the case then I would be happy to offer you some advice and suggestions on how you might pursue that too.
Those are my thoughts, but if any of my followers have thoughts or advice for @trophytoy I know that she would appreciate the help, or even just words of support.
