The quote that lives rent free in my head most from Arcane is something Victor said near the end of season one I think.
“In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good.”
Idk I just feel like it says a lot about the world today and the people in it
The best joke I have ever come up with:
Why do people always say “ladies and gentlemen”? Why isn’t it ever “gentlemen and ladies”?
*pause for dramatic effect*
Because all gentlemen say “ladies first”
*bows formally and then disappears in a puff of smoke*
I just realized my body has a very weird sense of humour my last period started November 2nd, 2 days after I got married. I didn’t start my period again until February 15th, the day after Valentine’s Day. I feel like the gods are laughing at me

Yo, correct me if I am wrong please, but didn't Hitler rise to power because he promised to fix the German economy and people really liked that so they looked past everything else he was doing??? Like exactly what's happening in America right now???
So many people said they voted for Trump, put a truly evil person in power, because he said he'd fix the economy, and a little voice in my head is going, "Isn't that what happened with fucking Hitler??"
But I've seen no one point that out so maybe I'm miss remembering???????
An important PSA to remember!

literally everything being said at trump’s inauguration:
Quick reminder that it's always morally correct to punch nazis.
As a kid learning about the holocaust, I never understood how people could let Nazis rise to power. But now I’m watching it happen in real time.
"So this is how liberty dies... With thunderous applause."
Just cried. “So this is how democracy dies… with thunderous applause” has never been so strongly felt
like to charge, reblog to cast <3
It won't be mysterious.
Correction: there is one instance in which it would be mysterious, and that is if one of his own cars blow up and we can't figure out if it was an assassination or just because his cars are Like That.
Just in case anyone was confused
saw someone say "an 11-year-old isn't even supposed to know what sex is and if you do something horrible must be happening to you and you need to get out of there" like can we be for real for a moment. have some people honest to god never heard 11-year-olds making sex jokes in their life
and let's be honest. if something bad was happening, good sex ed would help them recognize that. trying to shelter children from even knowing what sex is doesn't help or even work, it actually enables abuse. teach them about consent
Hot take: let's not discuss sexual stuff around CHILDREN.
Let's not sexualize children or even think of children & sexual stuff
Don't discuss sexual stuff with CHILDREN.
They cannot consent.
Children cannot consent and I dont know how many times we have to tell you this.
CHILDREN. CANNOT. CONSENT.
people like you are the reason so many kids can't speak up about being sexually abused. go back to the catholic church or whatever. we need proper sex education and this is dire
oh they're literally catholic. that explains a lot.
sex education ≠ sexualization
sex education ≠ sexual abuse
sex education ≠ child endangerment
HOWEVER
sex education = increased safety through knowledge
sex education = decrease in teen pregnancy
sex education = decrease in spread of sexually transmitted diseases
sex education = productive and necessary
Hello! Literally practicing Catholic here! Raised by Catholic parents since birth! I went through things exactly like this as a child entirely because my parents neglected my sex education due to viewing it as 'scarring' and 'inappropriate'! Please fucking educate your kids about sex and what constitutes sexual abuse! Teach them they have a right to refuse! :)
And let's also say the uncomfortable part out loud here: it's not only about protecting kids against older teens and against adults.
The average age for puberty to start is 11-12, but it is normal for puberty to begin between the ages of 8 and 14. Puberty is only considered 'too early' by doctors and delayed with puberty blockers if a girl is 7 or a boy is 8. And while not everyone experiences sexual arousal in the first years of puberty, quite a lot of kids do.
So, as deeply uncomfortable as it makes adults: some 11 year olds have already been getting horny for 3 or 4 years. And while their first explorations of that feeling often happen alone, some of that hornyness will drive those kids to seek out others to experiment.
So without information, that 11 year old may end up having sex with another kid and may get pregnant. That 11 year old may sexually assault a younger kid, not out of malice but out of simply not knowing that you should not do this to others. The idea that these things will not happen if we don't tell kids about sex is patently false.
I know we don't like to think about literal kids getting horny, but if we ignore the fact that this happens, those will kids suffer because of our cowardly unwillingness to face the facts and to give them the information to stay safe and to be safe to others.
some people just have a very idealized image of 11 year olds in their head.
I work in a middle school and trust me. You talk to them for 5 minutes they're going to make it very clear they know what sex is
They have a childish perspective on it - it's a scary fascinating adult thing that's fun to be transgressive and make jokes about, not a part of their lives, but they know what it is.
abstinence shouldnt be assumed and doesnt always even work (mary)
Flashback to when I was about that age and a couple of my friends and I were making annoying sex "jokes" (the word "joke" here meaning "saying words like 'orgasm' and 'blowjob' over and over and giggling at each other") until my mom finally got tired of our nonsense and said "do you even know what that is?", asked us if we had questions about sex, and then proceeded to start listing all the technical definitions in her "nurse voice." Right there in the middle of a Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Mortifying, at the time, but absolutely the correct approach. There was no shame, no scolding, no moralizing, and no "you're too young to know about that." Only facts presented in a neutral and non-judgmental way.
As for the "consent" argument, well. Children can't consent to purity culture, either.
All of this, and also: If someone ever tells you (as @awearytravelerliveshere did) "You shouldn't even be THINKING about this topic," that is literally a red flag for fascism. Regardless of what the topic is, THAT'S FASCIST-ALIGNED RHETORIC.
In this particular case, "not even thinking about it" means you willfully and deliberately have your eyes closed, and you're therefore not a safe adult for any of the children in your life to come to if they're ever in trouble and they need a grownup's help. Because you don't even think about that, so you'll freak out the minute they tentatively broach the topic, before they ever get anywhere near the difficult, tricky, scary part where they nervously tell you that they think someone might be doing something bad to them or to another child they know.
Because let me tell you what, that conversation almost certainly isn't going to start out with, "Hey so FYI my teacher sexually assaulted me and you need to call the cops." It's far more likely to start like, "Ummmm.... can I ask you a question... it's about [whisper] sex? I think?" You can respond, "Yeah, sure, what's up, kiddo?" or you can say "[GASP] Firstname Middlename Lastname, you shouldn't even be thinking about that at your age!" One of these responses results in a good exchange of information, the cops being called, and the child being kept safe from further abuse. The other one means the child blushes and shuts up and apologizes for being Bad, and the child doesn't get the rescue they need from an abuser, and the child takes on even more of a burden of trauma and shame that they'll be unpacking in therapy 20 years from now: "Not only was I abused, but when I tried to tell a trusted adult, I was scolded and ignored." That's what not even thinking about it gets you.
But hey, good job! YOU kept your brain squeaky clean! You didn't even think about it! And that's way more important than the actual welfare of the actual child in front of you -- right, fascist???

Worst part about this is I've only ever used that yellow square emoji once and it was just to see how it looked. This isn't who I am. However, in retrospect, I suppose it is
Reading through the notes is a surreal experience please keep adding more to fuel my effervescent consumption of non descriptive emojis

That's what I call character development
