More than half of the approximately 87,000 women killed in 2017 died at the hands of intimate partners or family members, according to a report released Sunday by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
Mamá Coco has trouble remembering things… But it’s good to talk to her anyway.
As someone who works with elderly clients who have multiple forms of dementia, or age related illnesses, I’d just like to point out that as a matter of fact: it IS good to talk to Mama Coco.
As its shown in the movie, Mama Coco has some form of non-Alzheimers dementia. Spending time with her, keeping her at home among loving relatives, and INVOLVING her in various parts of daily living is important for multiple reasons.
– talking to Coco and engaging her on a regular basis helps her to feel like she belongs, even if she can’t remember. This is an important part of our heiarchy of needs: love and belonging.
– It encourages Coco to feel at ease. This is incredibly important for those who live with with, and actually aids in easing the progress of the disease (depending on what it is she loves with).
– It helps to normalize the moments of clarity she undoubtedly has from time to time. When a loved one with dementia is removed from home or ignored during their confusion, it makes it hard for them to verbalize their clearer thoughts. They don’t understand why it is that they’re in the wrong place, causes anxiety and further confusion.
– It helps the family recognise when Mama Coco is deteriorating. Most of the time, when a family member is ignored, pushed aside, or sent away, only to be seen on special occasions like some kind of family china or something, the change in their afflicted family member is a jarring shock that drives the family further away. With a family that spends time and care with their loved ones, they’re more receptive to the stages and the process of the disease, and usually a lot more understanding of what’s happening.
It breaks my heart that we don’t see more of these kinds of multi-generational family movies where the elderly member is normalized, rather than being treated as “odd” or “lol funny forgetful”.
This 100% was me at the zoo. Don’t touch Melon, he’s mean. Okay, but I have to touch Bob to make him get his stupid emu head out of my shirt, so what if I also touch Melon until he likes it?
Sephiroth is angery because he has one wing and sometimes attacks people? I want to pet him also. Also he won’t get off the rock I have to clean anyway, surely a little pets on the good side will be fine.
Martha and Stewart are assholes that tag-team while the pond is filling? I bet I could CUDDLE THEM.
The female deer will excitedly nuzzle you in the stomach for feeding them. This is fine, because they don’t have antlers. The male deer is locked up while we’re putting out food because he will gouge you to death with his little nubby asymmetrical horns, because he thinks the females are doing it.
The entire monkey enclosure will eat your fingers for a single fruit loop. They also have the smallest arms and can reach through holes they’ve made in the tarp on the gate to their enclosure. Do not hold hands with the monkeys. (2nd gen old man monkey will also pee on the keepers that don’t give him fruit loops. He is a jerk.)
The rehabilitated bear that still sits like she’s on a couch because she did that when she was living in a crack house? Yes, she looks chill. Yes, she looks The Softest. No, do not pet her back through the fence. No, do not go into the corridor and try to offer treats for pets.
Big Mac does not know he will break your ribs, but YOU know he will break your ribs. Do not enter Big Mac’s enclosure no matter how much he chuffs and displays his belly and rubs on the cage and looks sad. Yes, he genuinely wants pets. Yes, Pinkie is deliberately getting pets where he can see it as a sign of dominance even though she’s a housecat and he could eat her in approximately one bite.
The turtle is mean. Period. He is an old man and he does not like you. He does not like the parrot getting fries and he does not like that he is in a kiddie pool to warm up because his enclosure lost power, and he does not like you behind him preparing food for the owls and raptors. Petting him will not help this. He will rock back and forth and mean mug you forever because he is a grumpy old man.
All of the rabbits need more handling on principle. They don’t know you and they are very distressed that you’re taking their poop away. They can learn, a little, kind of. The guinea pig is insane and will not learn. Do not pet the guinea pig.
this post is gathering some highly blessed zoo stories i love it! thank you
as biologist, can confirm
brain: that frog is very small me: well spotted, brain brain: put smol frog in mouth me: no!

brain: baaaaby bunny. me: yup. brain: baby bunny goes in pocket me: nooo it doesn’t.
Tumblr’s new ban on NSFW content is working really well! Several historical blogs that I follow have been flagged as inappropriate for posting photos of Classical nude sculptures and paintings which are on public display in museums worldwide, and I’ve only been followed and reblogged by 5 porn blogs today! What a successful implementation of a totally useful and not at all spurious ban!
Hi, I’ve answered this question before, but no, She-ra is not explicitly gay. There are two female characters who are heavily implied to be in a relationship, and Adora and Catra‘s relationship can absolutely be read as a romantic one though. And these hints don’t feel like queerbaiting—they’re more like queercoding. It doesn’t feel like writers are trying to trick us into watching their show by flaunting the possibility of gay rep, it feels like they’re giving us what representation they can considering 1. The show is just starting out and the characters have many arcs to go through before a romantic relationship could possibly pan out and 2. It’s ultimately a kids show, and although we’ve made great strides in terms of wlw representation in animation recently, what‘a shown in these shows isn’t at the same level as the amount of rep we see in shows aimed at adults.
Also, I understand the priority of watching shows with representation—it’s a big deciding factor for me when I’m looking for shows to watch too. But shows that have gay rep aren’t always good shows, and good shows don’t always have gay rep. I’m not telling you to watch the show if you’re not interested, but there are many other likable things about the show regardless of if it’s explicitly gay, like an interesting plot, themes of female empowerment and the importance of friendship, great character design, and a visually pleasing style! Anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk, I hope this was a useful answer!
I think it should also be at least noted that the showrunner is Noelle Stevenson, who is gay and engaged to a woman. She also once famously said, “Until I say otherwise, just assume all my characters are gay.”
All of what Katie said are good points, especially about that gays in kids’ shows are still rare and hard to come by.
But, the writers HAVE said that season 2 is going to be very emotional. Season 1 was very much just a “Princess-of-the-Week” kind of show that had barely any continuity and whose main purpose episode to episode was just to introduce a new character.
But now that all the characters are introduced, the writers have room to play with them, and give them real arcs, now. So, in s2, who knows.
i cant get over the stipulation that you can post female boobs if it’s a political protest. hey tumblr have you considered that the point of those political protests is that women’s bodies aren’t inherently more obscene than men’s. like my body is more than just a site for politics or motherhood or art.
Female separatism is for every woman who wants to only be around women – it’s not an extremist point of view y’all just hate it when women have boundaries
not to be like #condescending but people like tenderlesbian are why teenagers should stop trying to act as authorities on things. the girl just turned 18 this year, which means she was 16/17 when she made tenderlesbian and was giving “advice” and saying all the shit she said on her original blog. this is why whenever i see teenagers be like “you don’t need to interact with genitals to enjoy sex!” or “there are other ways to have sex!” or whatever other cotton ceiling nonsense, i roll my eyes.
most of these teens are NOT speaking from personal experience. you’ve got 14 year olds calling themselves asexual just because they’re not having sex/don’t want to have sex (literally what a 14 year old should feel), you’ve got teens who’ve never actually had a sexual or deep romantic relationship telling adults all this nonsense because they read some other dipshit post about it.
as a teenager, none of the shit you talk about is actually from personal experience because you haven’t lived life and experienced shit yet. your entire life thus far has been middle school and high school. that’s it. you don’t know enough to be walking around and telling grown adults what their sex lives should be like. i’m almost 21 and the person i am now compared to the person i was at 16 are two completely different people. i think back to the way i acted at 16 and i’m increasingly embarrassed for my past self.
i’m not even trying to be an asshole when i say this, but this is why teenagers should stay out of discourse. y’all do not have the life experiences to back up the shit you say and it shows. please just figure yourselves out and stay out of grown folks’ business.
The sexualization of nuns and hijabis by the porn industry has nothing to do with opposition to religious conservatism and everything to do with men’s refusal to accept women’s boundaries and their insistence on sexualizing women‘s no
