Your friendly (nonbinary) scum fuck face. Free to be me, free to be you. That's my philosophy

Juneteenth is about Black people who were officially technically supposed to be freed from enslavement. Nobody else. Nothing else. It's not a POC day. It's not a "freedom for all" day. It's Black folk, Black culture, Black emancipation, SPECIFICALLY. Any other observation for Juneteenth is gentrification.

[neshatriumphs]

Your Juneteenth reminder that just because they made it a "national holiday," it's still not. It's for the celebration of Black Americans being freed from slavery, finally.

It's from Texas. We been welcoming other descendants of the enslaved. But we close the gate and draw the line with "everybody."

[neshatriumphs]

Bringing this back on Juneteenth because making Black observations a national holiday didn't and doesn't end racism and the nonblacks are more insufferable than they have been in my lifetime about Black American people and our things.

Happy Juneteenth to those whose lives would not be actively free without the day happening. See the rest of you tomorrow.

what is your purpose in life?

I feel like my purpose has changed many of times throughout life. I believe that the purpose of life tends to evolve due to time and experience, but ultimately in my case…I believe that my purpose has changed many times because of what I wanted to be perceived by others so maybe what I thought was my true purpose… it wasn’t. ultimately, I believe my purpose in life could be to share. share my love. share my music. share my thoughts. share my ideas.

sharing.

this will be the year I finally convince everyone to abandon New Year's resolutions in favour of Yule Boasting, the clearly superior tradition

[dragon-in-a-fez]

allow me to explain. Yule boasting is an old Norse tradition of getting shitfaced at the winter solstice feast and standing up to proclaim all the great, infamous, and wildly improbable deeds you will perform in the coming year. can range from an unlikely but technically possible claim, like "I'm going to rob 300 banks", to something you'd have to bend the laws of the universe to actually accomplish, like "I'm going to punch a god in the dick and steal his horse". these are not plans. they're not even goals. they're the things you'd do in a self-insert superhero fanfic. and honestly all I want this holiday season is for a bunch of friends to go all in on this nonsense with me and hype ourselves up in ways previously unimaginable

[bodhrancomedy]

Look, it’s a weird hill to die on, especially when I don’t really explain, but children deserve to experience fear, disgust, and discomfort in safe scenarios where they can process those sensations.

Media for children used to be scary and that’s important.

[ironwoman359]

I would like to chime into this as a former certified Wimp. I was super sensitive as a kid to scary media and scary scenes in movies. I can recall several bad dreams from my childhood and all of them go back to a piece of media (I once had a nightmare after seeing a poster with Darth Maul's face on it about his giant floating head coming to eat me). I was afraid of the dark, and I was afraid of movie theaters, it was a whole thing.

But here's the thing: being this much of a scaredy-cat taught me two lessons. One, how to regulate my emotions and push through fear (I developed lucid dreaming to help with the nightmares and I eventually got over my fear of movie theaters), and Two, I learned to self regulate my media intake. I avoided things like A Series of Unfortunate Events or Nightmare Before Christmas, I fast-forwarded scary parts of otherwise beloved films (such as the opening credits and WWI flying ace section of The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown), I slept with a nightlight.

Crucially, my parents never tried to shield me from things they thought would be "too scary," the opposite in fact (it was an ongoing battle of my mom's to try and get me to like Tim Burton, one she never won). They also didn't try to insist that the things that scared me shouldn't exist. I hated scary things, but I learned to avoid them when I could and deal with them when I couldn't. Which proves OP's point; those emotions are important for children to learn to deal with.

And to try and sanitize children's media for the sake of kids like me who were little scaredy cats does a disservice not just to those kids, but to all the OTHER kids who actually like the scary stuff! Some kids like horror, haunted houses, scary movies and games, just look how popular mascot horror has become. Kids are desperate to be scared! The adrenaline rush is fun! It's cathartic! Kids are capable of figuring out what they like and don't like, and to try and shield them from anything scary or uncomfortable for fear of upsetting them massively underestimates their intelligence.

I once saw a youtube video about the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books, and the presenter put it perfectly: "If some kid sees this in the school library and it freaks them out, they're not going to read it! They're smart enough to know what they don't want, let us horror loving kids have our little spooks!"
