Was reminded of my old monster Cinderella x Snow White story and felt like redesigning them a bit

I was 12 when the first of my siblings was born, so I have very vivid memories of the way my mother was excluded from a lot of spaces because people find children annoying.

If you think "children should not be allowed in this space," you HAVE TO reckon with the fact that you are now excluding parents (and very often women specifically) who don't have access to childcare. You are isolating people who are poor, or rural, or single parents, or any number of other factors that might prevent someone from having on-demand childcare. You are cutting them off from being able to exist in public. You are denying parents and children the ability to fully participate in society.

My mom spent several years only leaving the house to buy groceries or take me to school, and even then, people would still come up to her to complain TO HER FACE about how she shouldn't bring a crying toddler to Walmart. Entitled strangers would literally try and demand that my mom leave and come back without the kids.

"Why can't your husband watch them?" Because he was at work, usually working extreme amounts of overtime so we didn't get evicted, because landlords don't like it when you stop paying rent.

"Why can't you send them to daycare?" Because that costs money.

"Why can't your teenager stay home with them and babysit?" Because I also deserved to be able to leave the house for something other than school, and taking me to the grocery store was how my mom taught me to manage a household budget, shop sales, and meal plan.

"Don't bring your kid in public if you can't CONTROL them and make them stop crying!" Kids cry when they're upset, and being dragged around a store is upsetting! Don't be an asshole! Children are human beings who are still learning how the world works, and they don't have a lot of agency. You'd cry, too.

"Spank them until they learn to stop crying!" That's just straight-up child abuse, Jesus Christ.

What the fuck was our family supposed to do? Never go to the grocery store? Starve because strangers couldn't handle a toddler existing in public?

I've been seeing this trend on short form videos where people will talk about "how (they) would have styled (xyz celebrity)"

And as someone who learned about How To Look At Art in college - I think a lot of these wanna-be stylists are missing the point.

Yes there are different colors that "best suit" someone's eyes or skin tone. Yes there are different silhouettes that "best suit" someone's body type.

But what is your definition of what suits someone best?

Is it to make them look younger? More colorful and full of life? Make their skin look like it has less texture?

What if those things aren't what that person wanted?

Especially when we talk about red carpets and The Met Gala - sometimes there's a message someone wants to send you.

"She looked too pale in that color!"

Maybe she wants to look ghostly.

"That really doesn't accentuate his features"

Maybe he wants to seem softer, more approachable.

"The look just overpowers her"

Maybe she the message is that she's being swallowed or buried by the piece.

Instead of trying to "fix the problem" maybe what you need to do is ask the questions - why do I feel that way? And how does that impression tie back to what they might be trying to tell me?

”Explain yourself” followed by “stop making excuses” has always baffled me because the fuck you think explaining myself is????

Survivor: gives insane "twist"

Survivor fans, immediately: this would have been better if (100% correct answer that ups the stakes and gives power to the players)

It's kinda poetic - Rick Devons lost his season because Chris Underwood gave up his immunity to make a gamble and build fire against him in order to prove he can be the winner of his season.

Now here's Devons sticking out his neck to take a chance to make or break his game.

Mr Beast in his survivor cuck chair: 🙏

[queerlittlecreatures]

Devons is safe for sure we got like 30 minutes left

[queerlittlecreatures]

Survivor vs people named Jimmy

[queerlittlecreatures]

Richard Devons the man you are

Survivor contestants: having genuine discourse about the truth vs lies

Jeff: this is all Mr. Beast's work

I don't think people know what crack fics are anymore

"biblical angels" you do realise there are angels in the old testament that are literally just regular looking guys, right? you do know that the hallucinogenic incoherent descriptions are in like. two books. and the rest of the time angels are just guys. you know that, right?

and I'm not saying don't have fun with weird angels. I'm saying, either the eldritch forms are for special occasions, or the society of the angels is Many-Eyed-Many-Winged-Interlocking-Circles, Four-Faces-Six-Wings, and Mike.
