“owen killed 2799 people” should we tell everyone. should we throw a party. should we invite avidmc.

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit

I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.

In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:

“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.

“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”

Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.

Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕

[amvs]

ppl who don’t make an effort to listen to their partner(s) abt their interests bc they “don’t like it” scare me

[amvs]

exactly. it’s not about whether you like it or understand it. it’s about sharing their joy and learning about who they are.

writer’s block (dry) = no desire to write, no ability to write (bearable)

writer’s block (wet) = HUGE desire to write, no ability to write (very evil)

one day grace hurts his right hand somehow and he's all upset bc he's like gosh dang it now i have to do everything left-handed. and rocky's like ?????still have other hand?? and grace explains the idea of dominant hands and rocky is like. you only have two hands. the FUCK do you mean only one of them can do anything

[cerebrobullet]

now, i do enjoy the "grace breaks his glasses and is despondent because it's his only pair" head canons because i love drama and misery, but also this is NASA. They sent him up there with like ten extra pairs because a) it's NASA and b) everyone fucking saw how Grace treated his glasses. The original redundancy plan probably called for like 5 pairs but then Stratt took one look at that and was "absolutely not, he's a fucking menace double that immediately"

i feel like we don’t talk enough about surveillance trauma, specifically the surveillance trauma experienced by those of us who grew up in the digital age. the last twenty years or so have opened up so many fun new avenues for violating children’s privacy.

parents who secretly monitor their children’s social media and text messages. parents who install tracking apps on their children’s phones. teachers who use specialized software to watch their students’ laptop screens during class. administrators who monitor the movement of students around a campus through security cameras. property managers who use similar strategies to enforce rules against “loitering” in public spaces, particularly pertaining to youth.

children are already granted so little autonomy as it is, and this level of extreme surveillance is more damaging than i think a lot of people realize.

as an adult who has lived independently for seven years, i still grapple with the paranoia that was ever-present in my childhood. when i want to use my phone in public, i position myself against a wall so that no one can see my screen. i check for security cameras just to set my mind at ease. i instinctively switch tabs on my laptop when my partner—my partner—walks into a room. and i didn’t even have it as bad growing up as some people i knew.

if you’re a parent or other adult who works with children, i strongly advise you to consider the potential ramifications of how you’re implementing surveillance over those in your care. and if you’re a child who sees yourself in any of what’s written here, i’m sorry.
