Locked down some side blogs and privated some personal content here as I peek my head back in here and attempt to resume my Tumblr days 👀

I have a lot of teenage friends/mutuals who are “mature” and cool and whatever, but the bottom line is, unless you’re helping them with gender, sexual orientation, mental illness, abuse, etc. you shouldn’t be having conversations with a minor that you wouldn’t have in front of their parents.

The internet is weird. Some of my favourite artists on here are, like, sixteen. Teenagers are talented! They’re funny! They’re cool! They’re people.

But they’re also kids, and you have to respect and understand that, because ultimately, any friendship you have with a minor is also a responsibility, and if the fact that y'all both like the same cartoons is enough to make you “forget” that, or enough to make you “overlook” that, it isn’t a responsibility you’re ready for.

The only reason you should ever be in a kid’s life as an adult is because you’re prepared to be the kind of adult you needed at their age. That’s it.

If the relationship gets more intimate than “older sibling”, you’re being gross. If you’re saying anything to them that could be taken as a sexual advance or as emotional abuse “out of context”, you’re objectively being gross! If you’re relying on a kid to be your best friend in the same way a fellow adult would, your probably being, you guessed it, super gross. Full stop.

I don’t want any of my younger mutuals to see this and feel like I don’t respect you or care about you or like you, by the way. It’s the exact opposite! I think you’re great, and I want you to be healthy and happy, and part of that is establishing boundaries and understanding how we’re different, even if we have a lot in common that makes us great friends! That’s a great thing to do in any friendship.

just because someone can articulate their point better doesn’t make them right, it makes them articulated.

and you aren’t stupid for having trouble articulating yourself.

In addition to #BiVisibilityDay, today some of us celebrate El Grito de Lares (1868), when rebel forces sick and tired of Spanish colonial rule fought for freedom in Puerto Rico. For a shining moment between colonizations, we were La República de Puerto Rico.

Behold the rainbow eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta)! This large evergreen tree grows up to about 60 meters (197 feet) tall and is native to the dense, humid forests of New Guinea, Indonesia, and the Philippines. What gives it such a spectrum of color? When strips of its bark peel off, they change in color: bark starts out in shades of green, then transitions into purple, red, and orange as time goes on. Continuous peeling helps the tree keep its trunk clear of other plants. And having a vibrant range of colors is thought to help it absorb a wider range of light to aid in photosynthesis.

I grew up around these and they were one of my favorite trees ^_^
