So I just discovered this “Nice Guy TM” meme. Love it.

omfg that’s actually a really good character to pick

like the scene where he’s on a blind date and the girl says “so basically she was completely honest with u the whole time….how is this her problem????”

Is this just him or is it a character?

If dudes are expected to have a lot of sex

But ladies are expected to stay virgins until marriage

Calm Bottle (aka Glitter Jar)

Goal:Decreasing anxiety, fear, etc.; Anger management; Decreasing self-harming behaviors; Expressive/physical release

Supplies

Container: This is typically made with a glass mason jar, but since I often make these with children I use water bottles with smooth sides.

One bottle of clear glue (not white glue that dries clear), or glitter glue: I like using regular glue so I don’t have to deal with the hot water since I make these in my office. Glue/glitter glue works best, but you could also use corn syrup if that’s all you have. You have to pour it directly in the water without letting it touch the sides of the bottle or the glitter will stick to it.

Water: It can be room temperature if you use regular glue but should be hot (I use boiling water) if glitter glue is used. If the water is not hot enough then the glitter will become clumpy and separate.

Glitter: I use mostly super fine glitter with a little regular sized. I sometimes add sequins, beads, shells, plastic jewels, etc. Glow in the dark glitter looks really cool if you can find it. Less (or even none) is needed with glitter glue bottles

Food coloring: This is optional. Only use one drop or it becomes difficult to see the glitter.

Strong glue or duct tape: This is used to fasten the lid to the container. I like using colored duct tape.

Directions

Making a Calm Bottle (clear glue): Fill the bottle 3/4 of the way full with water. Then add the glue (and shake) and glitter (and shake). I use a funnel for the glitter. The more glue you use, the longer it will take the glitter to fall. I usually use the whole bottle. Add 1 drop of food coloring, if desired, and then glue/tape the lid on.

Making a Calm Bottle (glitter glue): Instead of clear glue you can use glitter glue. If you go this rout then mix the glitter glue in a bowl with very hot water (I boil the water) before adding it to the bottle. If the water is not hot enough then the glue will clump up and not work. You can add 1 drop of food color and additional glitter is desired.

Using a Calm Bottle: If you are making this with a client I suggest making it with them, rather than for them. It is fun to make, they can personalize it, it will mean more to them and they will be much more likely to use it. When your client becomes upset, angry, frustrated, anxious, etc., direct them to shake the bottle vigorously as long as they want as an expressive/physical release activity. When they are finished they set the bottle down and watch the glitter fall as they use their favorite coping tool and/or deep breathing exercise.

Other uses: This is a common coping tool used for people who self-harm and is easily adaptable to many clinical issues. I have also used this as a coping tool + timer for kids who are transitioning into sleeping in their own bed or have trouble focusing and are taking long breaks during homework. It is a highly adaptable to numerous therapeutic goals. You can also make these just because they are awesome and fun to make, or as an art project :)

see what i’m getting at?

#men in society: forever believing that the world revolves around their dicks #talk about egocentricism

Don’t forget that gay men are gay because they lacked a “strong male figure”. And lesbians either haven’t found the right man or are gay because of a guy.

I felt so sorry for Sherlock in this scene because they just completely invaded his home and disrupted all his things. Yes so they might have been a bit weird but it’s what he does and it’s just, you can really see how upset he is by it all in this scene, it genuinely looks like they’re bullying him and he hates it. I feel so sorry for him because it’s not for them to do and I would hate it if people came into my home and just moved all my things and ridiculed me for my interests. They wouldn’t solve half their cases without Sherlock and his experiments and I just want to scream at them for being so damn inconsiderate.

This.

You can see he’s overloaded in this scene and it’s horrible.

Every single one of the characters are guilty of this prejudice. Calling him freak, taking him not knowing their name personally, addressing him as freak in public, ridiculing his life.

Yeah, this reminded me of when my mom comes in my room and starts throwing things around because it needs to be cleaned. :|

“WHAT’S THIS DOING HERE?! GET IT OUT!”

This

I have to leave if she cleans.

Benedict: “When I heard them saying nice things on the red carpet… that was the thing that really struck [me] to my core, and it got to a point - it was like a tipping point, I’d say - where I was signing something and I heard Zachary [Quinto] saying something very complimentary about me and I started to cry.”

Don’t cry my love.

Reblog if you think that Harry Potter should NOT be on the banned books list because it features Magic, sets bad examples, and because of dark themes.

Thanks.

Reblog if you think the Twilight series should be banned because it features rape culture, glorifies abusive relationships, and is just a horrible book series overall.

Star Trek...

Sat, 18 May 2013 17:41:22 -0400

So I saw Star Trek today and was amazed. The entire film was wonderful with some fantastic performances given by all, but man. Benedict was perfect. I’ve been a fan for over a year and seeing him up on that screen kicking ass and being amazing was just wonderful. He’s no longer fangirls little secret, and I couldn’t be more happy more him. If anyone deserves global recognition and love, it’s Benedict. So happy for you sir, and can’t wait to see more.
