you can gain a reputation for being good with money by just being kind of boring. i don't like alcohol i don't like weed i don't go on dates i don't travel i don't try new food and ive been playing the same video games for 5 years. and my savings? heh. well i just bought a new jacket #my jacket.
parents are allowed to straight-up torture their kids with zero consequences. they can withhold food and water, lock you out of shelter, confiscate your belongings, bar you from human contact, attack and harm you and exert complete control over your physical appearance. and this is just the norm. if you speak out against it you're seen as a delinquent or a predator. even otherwise progressive people get uncomfortable with the idea of dismantling the nuclear family unit because they still see it as the best way to keep kids safe when that simply couldn't be further from the truth. it's evil.
This is also part of why I'm so loud about homeschool reform, specifically in the USA.
In the US, there is no meaningful legal definition for educational/academic neglect in any of the 50 states or federally. What this means is that a child can be "homeschooled" and exclusively be taught how to cook and clean, reach the age of 18 being unable to read, write, or count, and this alone is not considered neglect. That 18yo, should they even have the knowledge that suing exists, has no legal grounds to sue their parents for denying them an education.
In over 40 US states, a convicted child abuser can homeschool their children. So someone who has done time for child abuse and somehow regains access to their child(ren) can decide upon returning home that they want to "homeschool" their kids. Those children are now locked in a home with their abuser where nobody can see them.
There are no welfare checks.
There are no routine assessments.
There aren't even databases — state or federal — keeping track of how many homeschooled kids there actually are.
Meaning a child can be locked in their home for their entire life with their convicted abuser, learn absolutely nothing, never go to the doctor, and so long as that child is fed, clothed, and the abuse isn't physical or sexual, that child has almost no chance of rescue and no legal ground to seek restitution if/when they escape.
The only way homeschooled children get rescued is if they're beaten, starved, or physically neglected and they're able to get the right person to see that. Otherwise? They have to wait until someone finds out they were murdered as a result of their parents "homeschooling".
And feral homeschool parents love to jump down my throat about this, and then get even more pissed when I tell them I'm a homeschool alumni.
Because I know it's not all homeschoolers. But even one is too many, and the lack of protections should scare everyone. If you're a good homeschool parent, nothing will change. If not, you deserve whatever comes your way as a result of adequate oversight.
Children deserve rights.
i gotta be honest i think beakley would not be a great educator. which isnt to say she wouldn't do a good job of tutoring the kids like they'd be fine but she's old and insane, there's no way she knows what culturally responsive teaching is
huey like bolts upright in bed one night in 2029 like "dewey struggled so bad with his lessons because so much was missing from the expectancy x value model for him and beakley didn't know how to adjust those motivators for him" and then he rolls over and goes back to sleep
again i think webby is kind of an oldest child situation in that she was honestly really easy to parent at certain ages cus her need to earn stability made her really responsive to feedback which means the other kids showed up and beakley was like completely unprepared cus her guard was down
baby webby: whoa i saw something that made me a little too upset! im gonna turn it off and go talk to an adult and then move on.
baby triplets: TOP TEN WORST MEDIEVAL TORTURE DEVICES AND WE WILL BE WATCHING THIS IN THE DARK FRONT TO BACK EVEN THOUGH IT'S GONNA GIVE US NIGHTMARES AND WE WILL NOT LEARN OUR LESSON ALSO LET'S TALK TO STRANGERS ON THE INTERNET
idk man, i just wanna write a fic that someone reads obsessively at 3am. a fic that someone loses sleep to finish because just one more chapter and tries to give multiple kudos. a fic that people will leave a comment on every chapter. i want to write a fic that people will recommend to others, that they think nails the characterization and relationship dynamic. i want to write someone’s comfort fic, someone’s favorite fic, or someone’s fic they read when they want to re-read something. i want to be that fic writer. i want to write that fic.
Did you know? That the back is made up of terrible and evil muscles that are only waiting for their chance to betray you
Pour one out for #audhd headcanon.
downloading my pdfs and epubs so i can always never read them
are shows and movies allowed to be subtle and ambiguous anymore..... is that still allowed or does everything have to be a patronizing hand holding session. just wondering
we gotta make writing fic uncool again to remove the incentive to use AI to cheat at it/clout-farm and brother, I've been working at this noble goal for years
no i actually cant fit doing this thing that takes 5 minutes into my schedule sorry :/ i only have the entire day free i just cant

i don’t support copyright law (mostly) but i do think people need to get comfortable with citing their sources and giving credit where it’s due
the relationship between the doctor and romana between warriors' gate and zagreus is so good but especially the bit between approximately the apocalypse element and lungbarrow (in the doctor's timeline). like what if your friend came back irreversibly changed from her time away from you and became the president of your home and then disappeared and you didn't even know about it? what if your friend came back irreversibly changed from her "time away" and you all quietly agree to pretend it didn't happen? what if you saw your friend again and it was before her "time away" and you know she's going to be kidnapped and tortured and enslaved for twenty years except you can't say anything because it's in your past and her future? you look her in the eyes and you both know you're sending each other to your deaths, only neither of you realise what the other knows. and then you see her again and you hate her, you despise her, for doing what you couldn't do, for staying, or maybe it was that staying twisted her into something awful, or maybe she was always like that, or maybe it was her time away. and you wonder if you could have saved her, and you wonder if you could have saved her, and you wonder -
and sometimes you look her in the eyes and see guilt, and sometimes grief, and love, and anger, and sometimes you can't look her in the eyes, and sometimes you look her in the eyes and all you can see is terror. she survived, but she'll never be what she was, and you weren't there. she's changed. you haven't. you're always changing. she won't change.
you wonder if you could have saved her. you wonder if she can still save herself.
Yeah, I was thinking the other day about Seven seeing her, just as she returns home, and he Knows what’s in her future, but of course it would break the laws of time to warn her, she’s still safe but it’s too late to save her. And it’s so good.
I love talking about doctor who to my best friend cause I will just say shit like "bill was saved by her lesbian love and turned into sentient water/space fuel" or "they once found two missing doctor who episodes in a mormon church basement" and Im not even lying
Every time I'm forced by circumstance to hand-sew something, I remember a fairytale I once read. There are lead-up shenanigans as the humble protagonist helps small animals and meets the princess and all that, but in the climax, the princess rigs a contest for her hand by setting her own task: sew her a dress in a single night.
The noble suitors, who have never sewn a thing in their lives, sabotage themselves by their own ambitions: they choose difficult fabrics to work with and cut huge, elaborate patterns and select gems and pearls and beads to sew onto it, and snip such long bits of thread that they lose time detangling their stitches, and ultimately resort to pinning bits together as they run out of time, so that their offerings initially look beautiful and flashy, but when the princess tries them on they stick her with pin ends and fall apart as she moves.
The humble protagonist uses a very simple pattern without embellishments and sews using short lengths of thread (snipped off and threaded for him by little birds of course) which don't tangle and therefore save time. His dress is plain by contrast, but holds together and the princess is able to move freely in it, and so he wins the contest and her hand.
I particularly think about the bit about threading the needle with shorter lengths of thread, needing to tie off more often but avoiding tangles and thereby saving time.
I then ignore that piece of wisdom passed down through who knows how many years and proceed to cut the longest damn length of thread I can manage because I hate tying off beginning or ending knots and I will not subject myself to more of that even if it does mean more tangles along the way.
The thing about the doctor who lore is that
Let the historical record show that Mr. Beast was entirely ignorable if you were just like doing literally anything else. I've been on youtube as long as it's been around and I've never been recommended a video by him. I see him in passing as a meme. I thought he was a made up joke, a caricature of bad youtuber content miners until someone I trust confirmed his existence to me in late 2025.
