It’s true! And not just in Egypt, it’s recorded as a standard burglar technique in 12th century Persia. So much so that catching a fellow in the middle of the night carrying a crowbar and a drill wouldn’t necessarily prove anything, but if he also had a live tortoise with him, well it could only be a professional burglar.
“The tortoise is employed thus. The burglar has with him a
flint-stone and a candle about as big as a little finger. He lights the
candle and sticks it on the tortoise’s back. The tortoise is then
introduced through the breach into the house, and it crawls slowly
around, thereby illuminating the house and its contents.”
Y'all When batman put on the bat suit for the first time Alfred was probably just like “honestly? What the fuck master Bruce”
considering alfred raised bruce from age 8 until forever, i’m pretty sure he saw this coming from a mile away he probably wasnt anticipating a bat though
Alfred “I love my emo son” pennyworth
alfred is the dad going into hot topic with his son to buy matching band merch because while he doesnt understand his sons interests, he supports him because he’s having fun and enjoying himself and alfred has fun with it too
I love being loud and taking up space and existing without hesitation as a woman. I’ll eat a second serving and tell a man no. I’ll wear shorts and sleeveless shirts exposing my unshaven body hair with no hesitation. I’ll fill a room with my hearty laugh and I’ll never apologize for anything that isn’t my fault. I’ll stare back at men and refuse to spend more than 20 minutes getting ready to go out. I love the woman I’ve become and I can’t wait to meet more of myself without the chains of femininity holding me back.
We get it, you’re damaged.
sike! im healing
“Women who eat food and laugh loudly are damaged.” - Conservative males
Yup, that’s clearly what’s being conveyed here. I can’t imagine why the entire world thinks TERFs are retards, they provide the world with top level discourse.
IDK what else I’m supposed to take away from you saying “you’re damaged” to a woman to talks about living life freely
There was a mention of a man in 33% of the sentences she typed, but yeah, I’m wrong and reality is subjective.
lmao men are so sensitive
You could’ve just said “good point” instead of making yourself look stupid.
OP: I like not living for men
You: you’re damaged lol
Me: conservative men think women who don’t live for men are damaged
You: I didn’t say that
Me: yes you did
You: she mentioned men in 1/3 of her sentences
Me: wow you’re very sensitive if thats what upset you
You: #checkmate libtards :’)
So at first you framed her post as “living for herself”, then framed it as “not living for men”, which isn’t the same thing since words and the context of those words matters, and since you’re woefully uneducated, claim I’m sensitive for pointing out the fact that she clearly has issues with men and is a damaged person because of it. Glad we cleared that up.
So I am one of the unfortunate souls who goes nonverbal whenever I get severely stressed out and/or self-loathing (because I think I screwed something up between me and my partner)
SO,
To help others out who have possibly had this issue (or have a partner who have this issue), here’s some tips that might help you!
BE PATIENT! Give them time to formulate words. Give them time to ground themselves. Don’t get mad at them if it’s only a 1-5 word response, and/or they stutter. They are TRYING to speak to you, but their anxiety is preventing them.
Ask questions that will be simple “yes” or “no” answers. This requires precision with your words (for example: “ Do you want me to hug you? Do you want me to put a blanket around you?”).
Offer them a notepad with writing utensil. If they can’t speak for whatever reason, they might be able to write down what is on their mind. There are some applications out there that helps individuals who are nonverbal
Give them something cold to hold that has texture (such as an orange).This can help ground the individual and bring them back to reality.
After the incident, offer to talk about it in a safe, comfortable setting. Your partner might be able to better talk about the specific incident after the incident has taken place. They will have had time to process what had happened.
Take them out of the stressful environment. If there is something (or someone) in the room stressing them out, offer to remove it. Be specific with your questions. This might help them be able to form words again.
I’m stunned this post has gotten so many notes because I never expected this post in particular to get so many notes. Thank you so much everyone :D
It is very important to not yell at them to speak. You wouldn’t think people would do that but they do and instead of helping or getting us to speak we shut down even more.
