That was delicious. I genuinely don't think I've seen anyone line up those scene parallels so well before. This was a perfect snapshot of every branch, rock, and mattress they hit on their way down
I just think it would be funny to switch things up and lead with "popular far-right online blogger, Joan Rowling" once in awhile.
"Joan Rowling, most famous for her staunch opposition to equal rights through her popular Twitter blog"
"Long time advocate against women's rights, Joan Rowling."
"Joan Rowling, a major contributor to the conservative party"
depression tips™
shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.
moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over.
put on clean, comfortable clothes.
put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.
drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.
clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink.
blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.
make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something.
make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.
go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.
call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.
cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.
Circulating. Seasonal depression is creeping around now.

Thinking about a duct tape wizard
genuinely so fucking tired of people leveraging the "groomer" argument against people who support sex ed because scientific literature over decades shows that comprehensive sex education starting around kindergarten actually prevents children from being sexually abused and groomed because it teaches children the correct words for their body parts and also teaches them concepts of privacy, personal space, bodily autonomy, the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching, and the fact that sex is something that only adults do. children with this knowledge are not only better equipped to identify abuse and predatory behavior and communicate that its happening to a trusted adult, but also prevent it from happening in the first place by recognizing when something is happening that shouldn't.
sex education does not sexualize children, it prevents children from being sexualized. anyone who is against early foundational sex education and claims they are doing it to protect children is a fucking liar.
@blueblazeselco i actually spoke in broad strokes so as to make the post easy to read and digest. i also literally linked a study that was a review by two doctors (dr. lisa lieberman, phd in health behavior and health education with a specialization in adolescent health, and dr. eva goldfarb, phd in human sexuality education) of 30 years of published scientific literature on school-based sex education programs, and thus didn't feel the need to go into excruciating detail, because i assumed people would take the initiative and at least read the abstract that's less than 300 words, or at the very bare minimum, the paragraph very clearly labeled "results" that mentions prevention of child sexual abuse as a positive outcome of comprehensive sex education, alongside partner violence prevention, media literacy, social/emotional learning, appreciation of diversity, and healthy relationship development. the data is right there you pompous fucking dickbag.
but here are a couple of key points, since you couldn't be assed to even skim it:
This review found strong evidence for the effectiveness of child sex abuse prevention efforts in elementary school. [...] They teach about body ownership and children's right to control their bodies and about communication and self-protection. A strong meta-analysis of 27 preschool through Grade 5 programs and a systematic review of 24 K-5 programs demonstrate significant effects on a wide range of outcomes, including behaviors in simulated at-risk situations. Another large systematic review concluded that, in general, parental involvement, opportunities for practice, repeated exposure, and sensitivity to developmental level were key characteristics of effective child sex abuse programs. [...] Studies in the U.S. and Canada reported positive effects on sense of control and safety felt by children, including, in one, more positive feelings about their genitals (e.g., it's okay to touch one's own private parts). (Sources: x x x) (age groups: 3-12 years, 2nd & 5th grade, kindergation-5th grade)
A strong randomized study in 21 urban U.S. schools found gains were maintained at 1 year, with no increase in anxiety, concluding that it is safe to discuss sensitive subjects with young children, and demonstrating the value of early education. (x) (age group: 3rd & 4th graders)
but if you don't want to take my word for it, or the word of two award-winning doctors and authors, then take the word of the sexuality information and education council of the united states, or the united nations (yes, that united nations) education, scientific, and cultural organization, who both have published guidelines for comprehensive sexuality education and both recommend starting this education in kindergarten and maintaining it through 12th grade for a range of positive outcomes including but not limited to what i have previously mentioned. as a fun side note one of the doctors who authored the review i linked in the original post (the review you didn't read) is credited as a member of the taskforce that contributed to SIECUS' guidelines.
in conclusion: kiss my ass.
