Hello everyone! Maki here! 21+ GMT+9. This is a fanart blog where I post my own art, as well as art I find that I think is neat! At the moment, I'm really into Bleach! I'm a native English speaker learning Japanese, so feel free to interact with me in either language (though I apologize in advance for any mistakes I may make)! I sometimes post translations of songs, comics, or videos that catch my interest. As a general disclaimer about any translation you find on this blog: I am still very much learning! There may be mistakes, so please take everything with a grain of salt.

こんにちは皆んなさん！マキです！２１歳以上です。時間帯はGMT−８です。よろしくお願いします！ここは私が作ったらくがきと絵をアップする所です。時々他の人が作った作品もリブロッグします。今には、ブリーチすごく好きなんです。最近日本語を勉強すると話かけてくれたら本当に嬉しいですよ！今でも流暢じゃないけど頑張ります！あと、ミスしたらぜひ私に正しくて下さい。

材料3つで作る、ヨーグルトスフレケーキを作ってみましたー！半信半疑だってけど、いざ作ってみるとびっくり。ヨーグルトの酸味があって滑らかな口触り、ふわっジュワッとしてて美味しい〜！

I made this yogurt soufflé cake with only 3 ingredients today! Was skeptical at first but oh my goodness, it’s so light, fluffy and melts in your mouth. Almost tastes like fro-yo but in a soufflé formula.

Check it out!!

Most of those iPad babies you're seeing are probably sick of that fucking tablet too.

A lot of parents are very bad at parenting and don't like their children. They don't want to talk to them, be around them or do anything with them. You know, the things kids need and will remember the most once they're grown.

So they train them from an early age that they should always be distracting themselves with something as to not be in the way or annoying the adults.

For me it was books and TV when I was little, and computers later on. That's all I did because it was all I could do without getting yelled at, and it was the closest to human interaction I could get most of the time.

Everyone loves to make fun of & complain about iPad kids but nobody thinks about the struggle of navigating life as an adult when you were forced to spend your entire childhood keeping yourself distracted so your parents didn't have to acknowledge your existence.

Please give your children some damn playdoh and crayons and oversized bits of craft paper to color on. They need something more concrete and tactile than smooth glass.

Maybe they do need something tactile, but you've missed the point of the post. It's not the Ipad itself that's bad, it's the fact that the children are being neglected. You could hand a kid a whole library of books, several kilograms of play dough, a mountain of crayons, and all the craft paper in the world. But, if you don't spend time with them and you simply expect them to use those things to keep themselves busy so you don't have to deal with them, you're still neglecting the kid, and they're gonna end up with the same issues.

Running across this post almost immediately after reading the article about how some parents are letting fucking ChatGPT tell their kids bedtime stories now feels serendipitous in a way.

#so this is actually what i wrote my final thesis about for my bachelors in psychology #i ran an exeriment on kids below 5 that measured their social cognition levels (eg. understanding others emotions and needs etc) #and i also asked the parents about their kids screentime habits #and there was obviously a negative correlation between the two - so more screentime meant lower social cognition on average #BUT there were quite a few outliers with high amounts of screentime but also a higher level of social congition #and the explanation for that is that for these children screentime isn't there INSTEAD of interacting with the parents #screentime only affects the child negatively if parents use it as a distraction for the kids instead of interacting with them #so if a child watches some cartoon then the best a parent can do is sit with them and watch with them and talk about it with them #and then (limited) screentime can actually be beneficial for the development of other cognitive skills #so there is a large amount of scientific research out there that proves what ppl said in this post

That's really it. You'd probably have gotten similar results 30 years ago if you studied kids who are left to read books by themselves alone in their room for multiple hours a day vs kids whose parents read with them, or at least in the same room and talk to them about what they're reading. Because the former are most definitely also being neglected in other ways.

It's not as much about the tablets, it's about the fact that these children aren't being played with and talked to enough. Parents are using them as a get out of parenting tool instead of a parenting tool.

you may have noticed that my blog is disorganized and thematically incoherent and my tag game is weaker by the day. this is commentary on the chaos of modern existence

Living in Australia, I'm kinda always at the mercy of my posts lining up with crappy timezones, so when I came back to Tumblr and realised there was a fully in-built post scheduling system, I was very excited...only to happily realise that even with that in mind, Tumblr has a much more 'time-blind' and relaxing approach to posts. It lifts my spirits whenever I see that somebody's gone through my catalogue or liked a post that had been put out days or even weeks ago, and it appears that that's a far more prevalent phenomenon on this site compared to anywhere else. A guy could get used to this more easygoing posting experience, although of course that's all thanks to folks like you! Thank you all. BONUS:
