Adorable Dad Thing Today: Watching The Man Cook
adorable dad thing today: watching the man cook
for context, when he was a young college student he worked at a fancy restaurant in the middle of nowhere. From time to time he pulls out his skills from that restaurant whether it's cooking or random waiter things or whatnot. He absolutely loves cooking. He's so good at it too.
And, I don't know, there's just something about it. Him opening the oven to pull out three pans of golden beautiful enchiladas made with such specificity and love. Enough to feed his family for two days and also a couple of young adults who were stopping by for food. The love. Small batch huge heart. So much care.
He used to hate complex foods. He used to be a horrible picky eater who didn't like tomatoes or mushrooms or anything red or anything grown up. (This was before I knew him, but I know stories.) He used to hate cooking. And then, to be a dad, he learned. He learned for work to support his family and then he learned for love to feed his family. And decades later he's still at it. And it's incredible. I cannot fathom food as good as my dad's.
Forget adorable. My dad is precious.

Not personally a fan of the "reblog this or you're a horrible person" but! this is important enough to be reblogged anyway
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

best thing you could have ever said to me. like my dad always says. the only way to treat a cold is with contempt. I present: the only way to treat Sad Boi hours is with disdain
[ID: screenshot with the words "And yeah we've all got limits and flaws and whatever"]
adding to the list:
- my guy, my lads, fellas, bromide, gurl/girl, babygirl, queen, king, honey baby darling sweetie, homie

Best Christmas presents this year!:
Number one definitely gonna be the backpack my dad gave me. It was his cherished backpack for ages. Back support, hip and sternum straps, pocketsss, you name it. I opened the backpack and a moth fluttered out like in a movie. The best Christmas present by far!
Ramen bowl full of Ramen socks. My 14yo brother really hit the nail on the head this year! I guess I do have that college student aura TM
Jar of peanut butter from Santa. Huge jar.
I saw this sketchbook in the local book store when my 17yo brother and I were Christmas shopping. It had a textured Starry Night cover and ooooo! It's not a lined journal! It's blank paper inside! and he bought it for me 🥹
19yo brother surprised me with a D&D book?? like I don't keep up too much on the discourse of new 5e is bad or whatever folks are saying these days, but I *love* having the physical books because *readability*
isn't it amazing how we can bring God joy?
what if you wore a shirt that featured a picture of you trying to claw your way out of the shirt with a horrid desperate expression and the text "THAT'S NOT ME THAT'S NOT ME I'M TRAPPED IN THE SHIRT"
