Problem #1 regarding child abuse is that a lot of people seem to struggle to imagine normal, respectable-looking parents and other authority figures ever doing it despite the statistics so instead they do the stranger danger panic and completely overlook some of the greatest threats.

Problem #2 is that even when people understand, even if in an abstract way, that parents can be abusive they just... don't seem to actually register that as something that can apply to real life. It's just hypothetical to them and doesn't actually guide their ideas of how to prevent child abuse.

Problem #3 is that even after overcoming the above biases a lot of people have a very narrow image of what abusive parenting is where they imagine like... people doing violent things basically out of sadism and without provocation. They don't seem to think it's "real" abuse if the victim did something that "justifies" punitive violence, like disobeying the parents.

In fact, most people think parents have a right to do a whole lot of awful things to their children beyond just hitting them, like violating their privacy, controlling their access to information, and deciding what/when/if they eat, among other things.

[iridescentdepths]

ANOTHER interesting thing that's been on my mind is kinda how cis women treat me either knowing or not knowing I'm trans and how they're like.. incapable of sorts wrapping their heads around the fact that a lot of their experiences aren't exclusive to cis women.

Like I've had women over explain to me how much periods suck and like quiz me on female anatomy (for some reason) and how shitty it is to be catcalled and how Im so lucky I'm a guy I would NEVER experience that.

Which, first of all, I'm not even fully passing imo. To some people I am, I think to the people I interact with a lot because my voice puts in the work, but I still only get gendered on sight about half of the time because I'm smaller/shorter and have longer hair.

Second of all, if I choose to bring up like yeah hey, I actually did also go through all that and even still do go through some of those things (like how bad periods suck), there's now a big chance they just. Won't see me as a man anymore.

So my two options are "as a man you must feel so lucky to have NEVER experienced this" (not true) or "oh well you did experience this thing I assume is only experienced by women therefore you're NOT a man" (also not true)

It's tiring out here guys

we don't credit rebecca sugar enough for making the episode with the first gay wedding in a kids show extremely plot relevant so it could not be skipped or cut.

[emeraldspiral]

#rebecca sugar has gone on record saying that they knew from the beginning they wanted ruby and sapphire and they put every inch of planning#in to make sure that the studio could not take them out. sugar has said they’d compromised on hundreds of things they’d wanted for steven#so that they had the bargaining power specifically to keep ruby and sapphire’s relationship#and a number of ‘filler’ episodes were created just to establish counter-arguments that might come up when they pitched the wedding episode#the one that comes to mind is the episode about steven and connie getting lost in rose’s room steven’s central conflict about liking their#fave book series’ romantic ending was later weaponised when producer’s were like ‘oh but steven’s a boy he won’t be too interested in them#getting married’ sugar was able to be like ‘no. in this episode it’s established he loves romance and specifically weddings. and in these#episodes it’s shown how much steven cares about ruby and sapphire and their relationship and happiness. you cannot convince me this is not#good and necessary plot development#and they wrapped it up in the season finale and the big climactic point of the diamonds finally coming to attack earth to make the#episode integral to the series no skipping it without confusion. and had ruby wear a wedding dress because international censors took#advantage of her design to give her a masculine va#and sugar made certain that everybody knew This was a queer love story that an entire town supported and admired and that any child watchin#it at home would know they are not alone and that that support is waiting for them out there somewhere#sugar sacrificed the wider story they wanted to tell for that and it was a horrible decision to be given but they made the right choice

I saw some snippet of a callout post for an autistic trans woman where they list social faux pas she committed, and I think we allistic people should all feel 100x more ashamed of not telling people in the moment how we feel about what they're doing. I think its extremely evil and cruel to not only lie to an autistic person and blame them for it but also to feel justified shaming them for your behavior. And it's currently the social norm to do that

[pawberri]

Everytime we as allistic people sit and force a smile or sigh and act subtly grumpy or otherwise lie to an autistic person's face about how we feel about what they did it is in fact Our Fault that we are enduring whatever the autistic person is daring to try and share with us. You can literally say something out loud directly. The literal structure of our social existence will always traumatize autistic people unless you can give a fuck enough to consider it isn't their fault that you didn't communicate with them

[pawberri]

Even I couldn't understand this until my wife was in tears because I had internalized the idea that it was her fault that people were uncomfortable in a conversation where no one told her they were uncomfortable and blamed her for it. Allistic people punish autistic people for so many Percieved slights, or even decide together afterward what exactly the slight was and then make their collective judgment behind the autistic persons back. Not only do we get the benefit of communicating nonverbally through obtuse social cues the autistic person can't parce, we then get to say that we weren't going behind their back because we all did those social cues they are too disabled to understand Right in front of them. No, what you did was choose to suppress your feelings and then reap the social benefits of being in on the discomfort.

MEN WHO NEVER LEARNED HOW TO BREAK

𒁍 “I don’t talk about it because nothing good ever came from me doing that.”

𒁍 “I learned early that pain was just something you carried quietly.”

𒁍 “No one asked if I was okay. They just assumed I could handle it.”

𒁍 “I don’t remember the last time I felt relief, just less pressure for a moment.”

𒁍 “I didn’t grow numb overnight. It happened slowly enough to feel normal.”

𒁍 “I don’t feel angry. I feel hollow.”

𒁍 “I don’t know how to explain how bad it gets without scaring people.”

𒁍 “I learned to lock things away so deep even I can’t reach them.”

𒁍 “I learned that needing anything was dangerous.”

𒁍 “I don’t know how to ask for help without hating myself for it.”

𒁍 “I don’t explode because that would mean someone would notice.”

𒁍 “I keep going because stopping feels worse.”

𒁍 “I don’t know who I am without the weight. I just know I can’t put it down.”

𒁍 “I don’t talk about the thoughts that show up when everything’s quiet.”

𒁍 “I learned to survive by turning myself off.”

𒁍 “I don’t trust happiness. It feels temporary and suspicious.”

𒁍 “I don’t cry because I don’t know where it would end.”

𒁍 “I learned that pain was normal and rest was weakness.”

𒁍 “I don’t know how much of me is left under all this control.”

𒁍 “I keep everything locked down because once it breaks, it breaks for real.”

𒁍 “I’ve been holding my breath so long I forgot what air feels like.”

𒁍 “I survived by becoming someone I don’t recognize.”

𒁍 “I don’t feel broken. I feel used up.”

𒁍 “I don’t know how to be human without armor.”

Note: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No I am NOT telling people to abandon said and use these. Yes I understand that said is often good enough, but sometimes you WANT to draw attention to how the character is speaking. If you think adding an action/movement to your dialogue is 'good enough' hate to break it to you but that ruins immersion much more than a casual 'mumbled'. And for the last time: this is just a resource list, CALM DOWN. Hope that covers all the annoyingly redundant replies :)

OceanGate tried to scrub the internet clean of traces that it ever existed, taking down its Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages

OceanGate, the deep-sea exploration company that created the Titan submersible, has removed its Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn a

poor things, well we should definitely make this easier on them by never repeatedly mentioning their name and deeds on the "reblog things forever" website

yea that'd be a shame

by the way, just so everyone knows what not to do, shift+r reblogs a post instantly

just make sure you don't reblog anything about oceangate because that would completely undermine their entire plan 😇😇😇

any time i see a "don't ever do this" or "stop committing these writing sins" posts in fanfic spaces i fucking sigh. it's fanfiction. you get that for free. some of you have this strange entitlement around what to expect when people share work they spent time on, work they don't expect to get anything back from, work they do not get paid for, work you did not pay for, many people are writing in their second language, and you criticise each little thing cause it's not up to a professional standard. that is ridiculous. stop criticising everything and everyone. i commit writing sins all the time in fanfics that i would never ever fucking do in my professional work. that doesn't make me an amateur, maybe it makes me lazy sure, but fanfic is for fun. it is free. i do it in my spare time to relax. do not expect published work level of polishing. like some of these "writing sins" are such non-issues. "oh, i just can't read anything if they refer to a character as 'the brunet'--" just grow up, god. what, you'd honestly rather play the pronoun game? you are actively discouraging new writers and such from sharing their work instead of encouraging people to start. no one starts perfect. "it's just so unprofessional--" since when did fanfiction have to be professional? it is a hobby. get some perspective. meu deussss

Heartbroken Dialogue Prompts

“Can you still love me?”

“Don't act like you haven't been looking for an excuse to leave me.”

“You’re my biggest regret.”

“You don’t get to call me that anymore.”

“Don’t. Don’t you dare try to blame anyone but yourself for this. You made your choices.”

“Don't you get it? I love y–” “It doesn't matter! I love you too, but I can't trust you! Don't you get that?” 

“Don’t act like you were a saint.”

“I didn’t think it was going to hurt this much.”

“You must truly hate me if you’re willing to hurt me in this way.”

“I miss you.” “What? You left me!”

“I'm not crying because I'm sad, I'm crying because I'm furious!”

“I was a fool to think you'd ever change.”

“They make me feel good. And it made me realise… you don't make me happy anymore.”

“Was this ever real?” “Don't do this to yourself. You know the answer to that.”

“I miss you! My heart is being torn apart every single day we are apart, but I would never take you back.”

“You're blaming them for our breakup? It was you who ruined this!”

“You still love them, don't you?” “I'm sorry.”

“I'm done. I can't keep doing this. I can't fight when you clearly don't care enough to do the same.”

“Why can't I get over you?”

“I miss when you looked at me the way you look at them now.”

Government: We want kids to have a safe time on the internet!

Kids: Oh so you’re going to make it illegal for gambling to be advertised to kids and make stricter guidelines on what data the companies can take? You are going to focus on how the algorithms make it addictive for social media and therefore make it difficult to stop using it?

Government: No, you’re gonna get banned, why would we regulate that? Come on guys think of the children :( forget about all the kids we are fucking over and removing their online safe spaces!!! think of the kids :((((

[capricorn-0mnikorn]

As I've said elsewhere (In response to social media moral panics where I live):

If you're going to take away kids' smartphones, then give them back the streets.

The fact that neither elected government representatives, nor "Industry Leaders," are even discussing that option leads me to suspect that they're less interested in child safety than in expanding their authoritarian reach.

[capricorn-0mnikorn]

Quoted tags:

#the fact that children are using social media so much that it's harming them is a sign of a larger issue (👈 This!!!)

#namely how lonely and disconnected everyone is

#it's even harder if you can't transport yourself (👈Speaking as a motorized wheelchair user who doesn't drive, and lives in a city with hardly any pedestrian infrastructure: "Yeah, I know.")

Evan Edinger, an American ex-pat who's been living in Britain for the last 13 years, recently made a ~30 minute video about trying to use public transport in and around the New Jersey suburb where he grew up. He (as an able-bodied, relatively fit, young man) could make it work, even if a trip that would have taken an hour, tops, if he'd gone in his own car, took an entire day -- most of that waiting around for the next bus to arrive.

I watched his impromptu documentary, and saw something that would have been impossible for me... Because the buses tended to drop him off on the side of the road where there were no sidewalks, and no curb cuts. He was able to step off the curb, jaywalk, and jog across the street through oncoming traffic, and step up onto the curb on the other side of the street. I, as a wheelchair user, would not be able to do any of that -- nor would a kid.

He did make the point that simply making the effort to use the bus system brightened his mood because it relieved the social isolation of riding alone in a private bubble of a car: getting a chance to say "Hello," and "thank you" to the bus driver, say "hi" to fellow passengers, and simply be sitting next to them in the same space.

...Which just goes to show how deep the problem of social isolation is for everyone in our societies.

[busket]

sometimes I think we need to drop "privilege" as the end all be all metric to discussions of queer social dynamics because clearly people do not know what it means. wtf are you talking about, closeted queers have privilege?? living a fake life, being misgendered every day, not being able to pursue romantic relationships that you desire or having to wear clothing you hate all for your own safety is not privilege. that is a survival tactic.

it comes down to the misconception that people think "privilege" means "how likely you are to get physically assaulted or be the target of a hate crime" with absolutely no nuance for personal freedom, bodily autonomy or even happiness and emotional fulfillment

ask these people whos more privileged, a prisoner in solitary confinement or someone living in a city with a normal crime rate? and by this logic they'd answer "the prisoner" because the prisoner is less likely to get mugged on the street lmfao
