Good grief, the new teletubbies is scary!

They were always scary

^ Haha, this is true. Though we did win a talent contest when I was a kid by doing a teletubbie skit

That interview seemed to go really well. I think I impressed the director; she went to the same uni I did and she likes that I have experience working with MLA format and computer stuff. She was smiling the whole time, too, and I like libraries for the same reasons she does. She said the job is set to end at the last week of June, but if her budget allows, she wants to keep a few of us temporary worker types on... she said she'll contact me with an email to let me know if I get it or not, but it looks really promising.

I didn't even have trouble talking to her! That's so rare.

Now just to wait for the email... which could come as late as the end of March.

That cover is great. I love Acapella-sung covers.

Listening to a theme from a game and suddenly recognising traces of the music reflecting another theme that points out their awful backstory.

No.

You can't do this to me.

;A;

[SimbasMate]

I'm hungry but for some reason I don't feel like eating.

Lmao! My baby finds it hillarious if you talk to her in a batman voice xD

"WASHINGTON — Children who are emotionally abused and neglected face similar and sometimes worse mental health problems as children who are physically or sexually abused, yet psychological abuse is rarely addressed in prevention programs or in treating victims, according to a new study published by the American Psychological Association."

"Researchers used the National Child Traumatic Stress Network Core Data Set to analyze data from 5,616 youths with lifetime histories of one or more of three types of abuse: psychological maltreatment (emotional abuse or emotional neglect), physical abuse and sexual abuse. The majority (62 percent) had a history of psychological maltreatment, and nearly a quarter (24 percent) of all the cases were exclusively psychological maltreatment, which the study defined as caregiver-inflicted bullying, terrorizing, coercive control, severe insults, debasement, threats, overwhelming demands, shunning and/or isolation."

"Children who had been psychologically abused suffered from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, symptoms of post-traumatic stress and suicidality at the same rate and, in some cases, at a greater rate than children who were physically or sexually abused. Among the three types of abuse, psychological maltreatment was most strongly associated with depression, general anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, attachment problems and substance abuse. Psychological maltreatment that occurred alongside physical or sexual abuse was associated with significantly more severe and far-ranging negative outcomes than when children were sexually and physically abused and not psychologically abused, the study found. Moreover, sexual and physical abuse had to occur at the same time to have the same effect as psychological abuse alone on behavioral issues at school, attachment problems and self-injurious behaviors, the research found."

This makes me sad.
