dislike how many mental health posts on here are just "you've never done anything wrong in your life ever and they were evil for that"

bitchautism-deactivated20250906

maybe you did do something wrong. maybe you hurt someone. maybe you have said awful things. maybe you were just as bad as them. maybe. but what matters is that you move on. you have to try. you have to wake up and be kinder. you have to learn and listen and grow. maybe you did do something wrong but that doesn't mean you have to keep doing that. as long as you are alive, you can change

SWORDTEMBER DAY 1: TEETH

Greatmaw, of warm skin and gnawing hunger 🦷👁️ Warm, wet flesh wraps between your fingers. I feel your hesitation, the hot breath against your salty skin. A hunger aches from the deepest part of me, the part of me that is cold, and metal. My teeth, suddenly, feel so dry, my lips chapped and bleeding. How long have I been this thirsty? From the back of my throat, I feel myself salivate.

It’s my fave time of year :} I hope ur excited for this year’s swords! Starting off with something slimy and spikey

Personally I think that Mumbo would describe himself as a cis man but I also think he has a completely incomprehensible sense of what gender actually is ala the warden Cleo limlife comic

You ask Mumbo what being a man means and he’ll tell you it means grooming your facial hair if you have any, having moderate to severe hay fever, and wearing fuzzy socks on Wednesdays

@light-glue-blazed-terracotta You have captured his autistic swag perfectly. Yes.

ultimately the best way to prevent abuse is to organize society in such a way that everyone's needs are met wothout having to rely on a parent or employer or boyfriend or any one individual. obviously wont stop, like, manipulation or so on, but the ability to dangle basic needs over someone's head is one of the most powerful and consistant tools of abuse out there. if someone is able to just leave, and know that they will have access to food and shelter and clean water and education, that will enable so, so mamy victims of abuse to do just that.

really funny how like 10% of the comments are people going "nuh uh" and the remaining 90% are people going "this is literally whats happening to me/my mom/etc Right Now"

I think adults should stop demanding obedience from children and should start focusing on requesting respect. That’s what will actually serve them in the adult world and help them make good decisions mindfully.

sandersstudies

I’ve been thinking about talking with my students about this and I guess the basic premise is “I want you to respect me because I have proved, through our continued interactions, that I’m worthy of respect. I don’t want you to blindly obey what I say because I just happen to be the adult in charge. If another adult makes requests of you that aren’t worthy of respect I want you to feel empowered to say no.”

sandersstudies

People keep coming to this post to give examples of times where “obedience” is important but in my understanding I think they’re still examples of respect and trust.

I had a lot of respect and trust for my mother when I was small. Now, obviously I can only remember back to being maybe 4-5 and can’t extrapolate earlier than that, but if my mom said “STOP” or “NO” I can’t remember ever sincerely believing “I should stop because my Mother Demands It,” but rather “I should stop because Mom Knows Things and tells me to stop when There Is a Reason.” The older I got, the more opportunities my mom had to model this by showing trust and respect back to me by giving me responsibilities or letting me make some decisions.

Now that I teach kids I try to embody the same thing by not making rules that aren’t For A Reason. I don’t want to catch myself eroding trust by saying “stop” for innocent behaviors, I want students to know that there is always reason behind the rules we make, and they can trust me to make rules that are fair and reasonable. (I made a whole post about how to form trust-building rules with kids). I also show trust and respect back to them.

sandersstudies

I cannot tell you how often I say “I believe you” and “I trust you” to kids and what a difference it makes in our interactions together.

Listen, we have to keep this thing circulating on the internet for at least another two decades, because I have to believe that one day that little girl will be grown enough to stumble upon it and She Will Explain

Google says it’s no different than checking IDs at the airport.

This is just another form of censorship, control of what we can/can't see and engage with, and another means of getting our private information.

Alternative forks of AOSP (Android Open-Source Project) which are not maintained by Google and will not be affected by this:

LineageOS (I use this one)

Graphene OS

Functionally they are virtually identical to stock Android. Android began as an open-source project, and these versions are built off of that.

Fuck Google.

being sick & miserable objectively sucks, but it has become significantly easier to cope with since learning that “sickness behavior” is a well documented part of the body’s immune response

feeling not only physically but also emotionally like fucking garbage is unfortunately an extremely effective way to force your body to prioritize fighting infection & keeping you alive. i don’t have to like it, but knowing why i get weepy & pathetic when sick does help at least a little
