can not recommend letting your child do a big scream when they are frustrated enough. Just straight up ask them like “hey do you need to do a big scream?” And if they say yes let cover your ears and say okay GO and let them scream because you know what eventually when you’re really frustrated your little person with your face is gonna look at you with their ears covered and yell “HEY DO YOU NEED TA DO A BIG SCHREAM?!” and you can just… do a big scream and it won’t scare them and you will feel better too

“I very proudly entered the forestry school as an 18-year-old and telling them that the reason that I wanted to study botany was because I wanted to know why asters and goldenrod looked so beautiful together. These are these amazing displays of this bright, chrome yellow and deep purple of New England aster, and they look stunning together. And the two plants so often intermingle rather than living apart from one another, and I wanted to know why that was. I thought that surely in the order and the harmony of the universe, there would be an explanation for why they looked so beautiful together. And I was told that that was not science, that if I was interested in beauty, I should go to art school. Which was really demoralizing as a freshman, but I came to understand that question wasn’t going to be answered by science, that science, as a way of knowing, explicitly sets aside our emotions, our aesthetic reactions to things. We have to analyze them as if they were just pure material, and not matter and spirit together. And, yes, as it turns out, there’s a very good biophysical explanation for why those plants grow together, so it’s a matter of aesthetics and it’s a matter of ecology. Those complimentary colors of purple and gold together, being opposites on the color wheel, they’re so vivid, they actually attract far more pollinators than if those two grew apart from one another. So each of those plants benefits by combining its beauty with the beauty of the other. And that’s a question that science can address, certainly, as well as artists. And I just think that “Why is the world so beautiful?” is a question that we all ought to be embracing.”

who the fuck even uses “pretty boy” as an insult any more I thought we all came to the agreement that all it does is make you sound like you want to stick your tongue down the other guy’s throat
it was obviously named after Paris, the trojan prince.
A common misconception! Paris Hilton was named after Paris, the Trojan Prince, and Paris (the city) was named after Plaster of Paris, for trade relation reasons (that plaster being the main export f the area when the city was founded).
Plaster of Paris getting its name, of course, from its inventor, Paris Hilton.
