horreurscopes:

i have never felt as mature as when i finally understood (through therapy) and internalized (through emotional work) that you cannot connect and communicate with some people no matter how kind, compassionate, understanding, articulate, eloquent, or smart you are, and that sometimes a person not listening to you does not reflect on your communication skills or ability to connect or straight up intelligence. in a way, it’s letting go of the belief that you have the power to make people understand you. communication is a two-way street, and needs two willing participants. some people are just walls, and it has been unbelievably helpful for my mental and emotional health to let it slide and know that it does not affect me or my self worth.

Here are some great safety posters, from what is today the Czech Republic, circa 1920s and 1930s

“Don’t Use A Whip Near Electric Lines”

“If the power isn’t off don’t poke the outlet!”

“Warning! Don’t wipe electric devices with a wet cloth!”

“Don’t touch electric devices while taking a bath!”

“Don’t touch heaters while operating a vacuum!”

And my personal favorite: “Fixing it yourself will cause more harm; call a professional and don’t worry.”
