tbh Esme was tragically underutilized in the twilight saga. like a woman who is forever frozen in the early stages of motherhood, turning the grief for her son into a fierce need to mother every person that walks into her home?? that Bella was a character who was in desperate need of a mother and Esme was right there in desperate need to always BE a mother?? and then she was literally never used unless she was mothering Edward or glued to Carlisle’s hip, despite the fact that she should have probably been more important to Bella than Carlisle ever was

This is a legitimate and damaging cultural shift for all involved parties and it needs to be addressed.

not letting children have age-appropriate amounts of privacy and autonomy stunts development and damages mental health in measurable and consequential ways. it also creates a child-rearing culture where parents are not expected or equipped or supported to prepare children for autonomy of any kind, which is a major contributor to problems young people AND their parents are currently facing and how hard their lives have become. there are ways for children to have both adequate freedom and adequate safety and if i had a ten year old with a GPS locator and always-on listening device strapped to him 24/7 i would throw him out the front door with his bicycle, a battery pack and a machete every morning starting the first day of summer vacation. and then i would be arrested, but everyone at family court would get sick of my bullshit immediately

people underestimate the amount of community oversight children had Back In the Day, too

my mother went to a middle school (mid-1960s) that required a train trip from her town. after school, she'd get off the train and go to the soda fountain near the station for a snack, then walk home

she always thought she did this alone, no supervision. it wasn't until adulthood that she learned the truth: the owner of the soda fountain knew her mother, and would call after she left to say that she was on her way home. Grandma trusted that other adults would look out for her child, while returning the favor if their children were ever in her orbit

it wasn't a constant hovering, but adults were keeping an eye on her in ways she didn't see. she got to experience that autonomy while still being watched over to an extent

One of the darkest moments of France’s colonial history has never been properly acknowledged. That could be about to change.

Whenever they gave us one of those "read through ALL the instructions before you begin!" trick assignments in school where the steps lead you on an increasingly ridiculous goose chase until the final one tells you to just put your name on the paper and turn it in without doing anything else, I was always like, "Okay, but what's the point? Surely the REAL world won't be anything like this." And then I grew up and discovered that not only is the real world often exactly like that, some people won't even read the first line of the instructions even if they make perfect sense. And these people are called "co-workers"

whenever the conversation about difficulty and accessibility in games come up i want to slam my head into a wall because noone thats speaking has anything more than a surface level understanding of what "difficulty" even is

kirikomamura

your game should have accessibility options, but if your only accessibility options are "turn off central game mechanics" then you have made shit accessibility options.

kirikomamura

you know what accessibility option doesnt completely fucking butcher your game while allowing almost everyone to play it? an option that is not available in 99.99% of all games ever made? easy:
