My mother is starting a business to reintroduce buffalo into Southern Texas. To do this, she needs help making money so her loans will get approved. We are a part of the Lipan Apache Tribal Band of Texas, a state recognized tribe, so bringing the buffalo back to our homeland means a great deal to us. For more info and if anyone is willing to donate, please visit the link in the reblog.

desperately trying to keep my thoughts to MYSELF

did your parents *"pre-screen" the media you interacted with when you were a kid/before legal adult age where you are?

yes, always AND they did parental guidance talks about it

yes, always but there was no parental guidance involved

sometimes, with parental guidance talks

sometimes, no parental guidance talks

not usually, but occasionally (WITH parental guidance)

not usually, but occasionally (WITHOUT parental guidance)

they never pre-screened but there were other rules (elaborate?)

my parents fully didn't give a shit about what media i engaged with

see results

*by "pre-screening", i typically mean any sort of behavior that exists on a spectrum of "actually watching/playing/reading the thing before you played it" to "doing any sort of research on it before letting you watch it".

feel free to share your experiences in the tags or replies or whatever!

admittedly, i am a little obsessed with like 65% of the tags on this post so far basically saying "my parents didn't pre-screen things but they [describes behavior that DEFINITELY qualifies as pre-screening]". i kinda hope maybe this post and others like it wake some people up to the fact that yes, even YOUR parents were controlling what perspectives and ideas you were and were not being allowed to access.

you need to indulge in media to have a better understanding of general life and people and the dynamics of how people work but you can’t use social media too much because it’ll kill your attention span but also you can’t NOT use it because you’ll lose connection with all your old friends but also if you DO use it you’re wasting hours of your life, and you still won’t understand some of your friend’s jokes because he’s in completely different circles of the internet and it continues like this and it doesn’t stop and you STILL feel like you don’t know enough about life and existence to make art worth sharing with others. until you just do it anyways and accept that you can’t know everything and that maybe if they only reach out over social media it’s not worth it anyways <3

One of my grandfathers was a dentist. The other was a fisherman.

I had a bonus grandfather who was a trucker.

What did your grandfathers do?

Ok, an unusually high number of people in the comments have relatives that probably have a Wikipedia article with their name.

I hope you don't mind if I share this, but this is a very good point!

reblog and put in the tags the earliest songs you remember actively liking as a child (asking adults to play them for you, learning the lyrics, being excited when they came on the radio etc.)

anti-fatness is not just body shaming.

anti-fatness is discrimination. anti-fatness is having next to no legal protections for being discriminated against. anti-fatness is being denied housing, jobs, receiving less pay and promotions (legally) because of your size. anti-fatness is being denied access to clothing, seating, transportation, and other human rights because infrastructure has been designed to exclude you. anti-fatness is less likelihood of receiving a fair trial. anti-fatness is dehumanization. anti-fatness is being denied necessary surgeries, but not surgery that amputates the digestive tract with the intent to starve and shrink you (it doesn’t work either). anti-fatness is mutilation. anti-fatness is being subject to torture devices that bolt your mouth shut. anti-fatness is being told by close friends, family, and professionals that you are better off living with an eating disorder or other life-threatening illness. anti-fatness sells you starvation as a guaranteed opt-out of oppression, but doesn’t tell you that bodies will always regain weight to survive. anti-fatness blames and punishes you for failing at an achievement that is quite literally impossible. anti-fatness is a $90 billion dollar industry. anti-fatness is being denied gender-affirming care. anti-fatness is being barred from in vitro fertilization and reproductive healthcare. anti-fatness is being barred from adopting children. anti-fatness is being removed from your loving parents because they couldn’t make you thin. anti-fatness is intentionally starving your own baby so they won’t get fat. anti-fatness is disproportionately high suicide rates. anti-fatness is being killed at the hands of medical neglect and mistreatment. anti-fatness is the world preferring a dead body over a fat one.
