the nature center I work at has classrooms of kids and parents with kids coming in all the time, and I am amazed at how adults treat kids and behave around kids.

Not even always the sense of being openly mean to the kids, but in the sense of acting like they must behave rigidly a certain way at all times and that if anything is one minute off schedule or if kids have any unstructured time at all it is the End Of The Fucking World.

So many adults hustling kids from activity to activity, all snippy and harried as though every single thirty minute Scheduled Activity Block is an unmissable appointment and the whole building will blow up if someone is five minutes late to something.

We have these exhibits with animal bones and rocks and pressed flowers and stuff that are clearly placed at child height and the way parents will SNAP at their kids to DON'T TOUCH THAT DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING amazes me.

There is so little tolerance for kids acting silly or just being playful or anything, the adults will act so annoyed and stern and harsh for the littlest things.

In those kids' situation I would be shitting my pants with anxiety all the time, The level of uptightness and intolerance for any little bit of disorder makes me secondhandedly anxious.

i love ‘unpalatable’ disabled people. pessimistic disabled people, bitter and angry disabled people, disabled people who are suicidal, disabled people who are ashamed, disabled people who harm themselves, disabled people who’ve been labelled as disruptive or hard to be around or impossible to accommodate. you are loved even if the world is often cruel to you. you deserve warmth and wonder.

I need a better camera if I ever want to catch the terrier and long terrier playing on film, even though they do it every night.

i wish that there were more non-carceral options for suicidal ideation. that you could talk about it without being bombarded with suggestions of carceral treatment. i wish respect of mentally ill people’s bodily autonomy was socially normalised. :/

its crazy that megan thee stallion is not considered a queer artist by some people. the woman is not shy about the fact that she finds women attractive and likes having sex with them. she references it pretty frequently in her music, she made a whole song about enjoying having threesomes with a woman and a man, she made a Jennifer's Body-themed music video, she had Victoria Monét full riding her thigh on stage at a coachella, and there's literally a video of a lesbian interviewing glorilla at a party & asking who she would date if she was queer and her immediate response is "megan. megan like girls!" and then megan turns around and immediately starts flirting with the interviewer. i don't know what more you want. that woman is Bi Sexual and we should all be thankful every day for that. bi women are still bi when they wanna fuck men too you know. the fucking of men is also done bisexually.
