You know, when I was a kid in fandom and I saw a popular ship of, say, a 16 year old and a 25 year old, I was like “of course there’s nothing wrong with this! Age is just a number! Besides, it’s only 9 years!!!” 

But now that I am an adult, I’m on the other side of that age gap, and frankly I am disgusted. If you’re a teenager, trust me I get it- it’s really easy to see that as ok especially if your identified as “mature for your age” but let me tell you it is not. It is not ok for an adult to be in a romantic or sexual relationship with a child. At all. That adult is 100% taking advantage of that teenager and is competently aware of what they’re doing and it’s gross.

[old-songs]

if an adult, even one that is in their early 20s, comes up to you with flattery like ‘youre not like the other 16-year olds’ and ‘youre so mature for your age’ and ‘i finally found someone who understands me, my peers never do’

run.

its a tactic to lure in teenagers, esp ones who are desperately trying to be ‘grown-ups’ and are highly susceptible to such flattery. 

and even if a teenager has a crush on an adult, which happens, its on the ADULT to say no time and again. no matter how much the minor ‘wants’ it or whatever, its always always the adult’s responsibility to deflect any advances and refuse to engage romantically and sexually with said minor. 

stay safe, darlings

As someone who was abused by a man in his 20s while I was a teenager, this can’t be stressed enough. Ask yourself, why this adult is interested in you? Why not someone their own age? Chances are, it’s because they want a power imbalance with someone naive and trusting.

you’re not a capitalist. a capitalist is a person who owns or manages capital. the word for a person who neither owns nor manages capital but who believes in capitalism is ‘sucker’

[one-big-r00m]

tbh what is capital cause based on this post idt i get what it means

[quoms]

capital is money that makes more money. the cash you have in your wallet isn’t capital, because you spend it and it’s gone. the cash that a restaurant owner has in his business account is capital, because he’s going to spend it on (1) food, and (2) hiring workers to prepare and sell that food. at the end of that process he should ideally have more money than he started out with

business owners, landlords, and investment bankers are all different types of capitalist who make their money make more money in different ways

but there are an awful lot of people out there who self-identify as ‘capitalist’ who aren’t even one of those things

Sweden’s Six-Hour Work Days Are Proving to be Effective

Research shows that shorter work days make employees happier and more productive.

[shorterexcerpts]

Shocked, shocked that shorter work days are better than 9 or 10 hours until burnout days.

I don’t know whether to call it liberal feminism or just the general ‘body positive’ ‘wear what you want’ movement happening, but it’s had a scary effect on young girls because, it, combined with the hypersexualization of women and the whole instagram beauty culture results in 12-15 year olds looking like they’re in their 20s or close. It’s terrifying because they are supported by other girls who have embraced the tagline for the body positive movement ‘wear what you want’, but also the attitude that the overly sexual look is the way to go. And like you have them making youtube channels because they’re exposed to that at such a young age, dressing in ways to sexualize their bodies because they see that’s the look thats in now. It would be a different story if what they chose to wear didn’t consist of high heels, cleavage emphasizing tops, etc but it does and it’s just really terrifyingly. Men are given a pass to sexualize the girls because they’re seen as doing it themselves, and its just all making me shudder. Girls are pushed into being more mature at 12-13 years old and like, they defend their choices with stuff like “its my life, I can dress how I want” and so many people share that opinion, but fail to take into account why a 14 year old would want a push up bra, or why a 12 year old would want high heels. Why are young girls trying to look like they’re in their 20s? Could it be the beauty culture obsessed climate they are being raised in? Even though nobody says that they wear makeup/heels/whatever to please men, where did all of these things originate from? Where did the need to look good come from? Why is it so valued in our society and who benefits from women constantly perfecting themselves to look like flawless dolls with no imperfections? They go through discomfort and pain, for what? Why would women be naturally inclined to conform to superficial standards of beauty if it caused them so much discomfort? Lipstick feminism or liberal feminism has no answers, neither does choice feminism. Think a little more.

Letter to Idomeni:We Offer You Imprisonment,Better Accept

[klefable]

a moment of silence for all the internet friends who you lost track of years ago and still think about sometimes 

[fullweedcommunismnow]

my mum lost her facebook account and the story behind this is hilarious.

she is active in some groups for people who redecorate and collect doll houses. in one of my mum’s doll houses, instead of a tupperware party, the inhabitants had a dildo party. and she posted photos of her dolls having a dildo party to FB group for dollhouse decoration mostly populated by american soccer mums.

said american soccer mums were enraged at the (actually very sfw) photos of dolls having some dildos on a table. a shitstorm ensued, and someone reported my mum for that and now her account is deleted.
