No one ever talks about how hard it is to do normal things with a breaking heart.

If you're a man, and a woman friend confides in you about how shitty men are, it's because she considers you one of the good ones--someone it's safe to vent to. Don't ruin that vibe with some "not all men" crap. She knows. That's why she's talking to you. You don't have to say it; she's already telling you, just not in so many words. If you were one of the ones she was talking about, she wouldn't be confiding in you about it, so instead of getting offended, you should feel honored, my droogie.

The type of the mother I’m trying to be. Not just encourage bodily autonomy, but reward displays of it, even when it might make someone else in the room uncomfortable.

I’ve made so many people uncomfortable in supporting my daughter’s personal space. People will try to hug her, she’ll sometimes say “No, thank you” and the adult will look at me to make her do it, but I just say “It’s ok honey, you don’t have to hug anyone you don’t want to.” It makes people irrationally huffy, making me feel even more justified in supporting my daughter’s choices. Creeps.

I legit had to mom-voice some random woman with a “she said no!” when she tried to force a hug on Madison. (who was not very good at verbalizing to people she didn’t know/trust at the time)

She replied, “I just want a hug, it won’t hurt her.”

Me: She. Said. No.

There aren’t many things more important than letting my daughter know that I have her back when it comes to something like this.

I work with five year olds and I had a very long talk with them about permission and that your body belongs to yourself and no one else. “Even if you want to hug your friend, you need to stop and ask if it’s okay and if they don’t want you to touch them, you should respect that choice and not do it.” they were like “cool” and then every time after that they had no problem asking their friends “can I give you a hug?” Or “can I hold your hand?” Very politely. If their friend said no, they shrugged and went on with their life. They even started asking me if they could hug me or if it was okay to hold my hand when they were sad. And I always ask when they need comfort “do you need or want a hug?” If they say no, I ask “okay, let me know what we can do as a class to help you feel better. Quiet time? Do you want a stuffed animal? Sit on the couch? Do you need some time alone?” They verbalize what they need and they become aware of their own autonomy and their ability and power to say “no.” Just because someone is an adult does NOT give them the right to hug a child who has said “no” or “no thanks.” Teach then that they own their own body, and no one else is in charge of it. Teach them the power of NO.

one of the most frustrating moods is Desperate Need to Create Something, Anything + persistent lack of motivation/attention/ability/time/inspiration/energy to do so

tl;dr my country is literally on fire and the politicians refuse to help

I know there’s a lot going on in the world, but you probably haven’t heard about what’s happening in Australia.

we’re on fire.

approximately ¼ of australia’s population is in catastrophic fire danger. A catastrophic fire level means your only chance of surviving is leaving before it’s too late.

it’s Spring in Australia, and rainforests aren’t meant to be dry enough to burn, yet at the time of writing this (11/11/19) there are 71 active fires in NSW (43 out of control), and 51 active fires in Queensland - not including those that have already burned before now, and there are more in other states. Sydney is already rated “catastrophic”, the first time this rating has ever been used there since its creation in 2009. That’s right, we had to add yet another level of destructiveness, because “high”, “very high”, “severe”, and “extreme” were no longer adequate. To quote the Fire Danger Ratings, “for your survival, leaving early is the only option”. conditions tomorrow will be the worst they have been, and people are evacuating as we speak. the fire fighters are preparing as best they can.

This isn’t just about people losing their homes; people have died and will die, countless animals have already lost their lives and many more will still perish. our land, our lives, and our hope is up in flames and will soon be nothing but ash. the annual fire season has not even begun yet. this is only the beginning. my native land is burning, and there is nothing i can do to stop it.

the government refuses to acknowledge that we are in a climate crisis. the fires have never been this bad. we have been in severe drought for more than a year which has only contributed to the force of these fires. the Prime Minister Scott Morrison has done nothing but send his “thoughts and prayers”. He will not accept aid from other countries because he is too egotistical to admit that we need it. All the while the people of this land are suffering. Climate change needs radical human change to be combated. we are already seeing the results of years of indifference, and this is barely the beginning of something that will only get worse the longer government’s and big companies refuse to act to counteract climate change.

Our government has also cut funding to Fire and Rescue NSW by 35.4%, the Rural Fire Service by 75.2%, and QLD Rural Fire Service by 26.42%, resulting in closures of services; they don’t have the resources to cope. We are fighting a losing battle against the results of climate change. and this is only the beginning.

Everything is burning

Everything is covered in smoke

I dont even live near any of the large fires, but my city is covered in smoke, that is causing absolute hell for people with respiratory conditions, and is even cause people like me without respiratory conditions grief.

Our government is still in denial of the climate emergency we are in, threatening to criminalize peaceful protestors, cut protestor welfare payments, and some are even suggesting getting protestors to pay for police fees? (Its absolutely fucking ridiculous).

Our fire services are under funded in favour of funding the coal industry. Adani, a mine that will absolutely ruin Queensland’s ground water, destroy the habitats of many endangered species, and contribute to our astoundingly high CO2 emissions, is still set to go ahead despite having protesting.

The only party with sufficient plans in place to combat the climate emergency, the greens, currently only have one seat in the house of reps. Labour is siding with the LNP more and more lately, and sadly the LNP still kept the majority after the last election. Our government is fucking useless, oppressive, and overall only driven by profits, doing everything they can to make the working class miserable. This has gone on a bit of a rant but I’m just so angry about the state of australian politics at the moment. It’s becoming more and more facist and I’m becoming more and more hopeless about our future.
