don’t like it when I’m about to board a plane to America and discover it just came from there not one hour ago and is getting sent straight back, like please put this girl in the stables and give her some oats, rub her coat till it shines, she’s earned a rest
Also there's the fact that having just escaped America, she has to return to America.
Teenagers are like that because every problem feels the same amount of Catastrophic. There's no sense of scale going on there cause they lack frame of reference. This isn't the fault of The Teenager but it does explain the Discourse Circles I was in when I was younger. Like it operates in both "blowing shit that doesn't matter WAY out of proportion" and "not taking Real Problems seriously enough". This is why dni banners are like that
I fear the only cure for this is to simply stop being a teenager. If you're an adult and still like this I hope you stop being a teenager soon
when I was a teenager, I was right. Nothing I was going through would have been acceptable for an adult. You're at a stage where you're old enough to not be a child and given a whole lot of responsibility but you are not given any power and that's the issue. Powerless people act out and that's valid.
Teenagers are Like That because, for one, they're developmentally ready to start transitioning to meaningful adult responsibility but are artificially infantilized by the society the live in, and it drives them a little bonkers. It's like if we all decided that it was actually harmful for babies to learn to walk, so we should keep all children immobilized in hamster cages until they're 10, and then concluded that children are so irrational for crying instead of sitting peacefully in their cages.
And for two, because adults constantly tell teenagers that every problem is the same amount of Catastrophic. When you're a teenager, you're constantly inundated with messages from parents, teachers, and everyone around you that you are living The Most Consequential Stage Of Life, during which any slight mishap can derail you FOREVER! If you get a bad grade on a test, you'll lose your GPA, and you'll never get into a Good College, and you'll never get a Good Career, and you'll be Poor Forever. If you befriend the wrong person, you'll Go Down The Wrong Path and end up Ruining Your Life. If you make one mistake, you might as well hold up a liquor store while snorting cocaine off a toilet seat.
Now, when I was a teen, I dealt with this pressure by developing debilitating anxiety, but it's unsurprising that some other teens deal with it by deciding "If one bad grade is as bad as holding up a liquor store while snorting cocaine off a toilet, I might as well go ahead and hold up a liquor store while snorting cocaine off a toilet."

I can tell my evil advisor has been feeling down lately so I've been pretending to take big sips from his cursed chalice and then roaming the palace grounds groaning and clutching my abdomen. Lowkey I know it's deceptive but I can tell it's really cheering him up. I heard him evilly cackle for the first time in weeks. WIBTA if I keep doing this
UPDATE: I think I may have gone too far on this. I was making a whole production of being stupefied and enfeebled after he brought me my morning pistachio frappe. I had my manservant bring me to my chambers so I could cough weakly in my bed with the sunshine falling weakly across my pallid face because I know he really likes that but he didn't even smile and I heard him whispering "I didn't even poison that one" to his dark serpent. Now he hasn't even whispered maliciously into my ear all day and the servants say they saw him alone in his chambers bouncing his scrying orb into the wall. Should I come clean and apologise or do I try to make it seem like someone else poisoned me? It might cheer him up to have an imaginary rival to plot against
it’s funny bc I do believe the Sir Cameron book has a good heart and a very Chunk Tingle ‘love is real’ message, but the spider alien book isssssss just the worst person ever slowly realizing that being kind is nice. after already having done every bad action possible. so maybe less people will be calling this one cozy
its so weird to me that cis people will dislike their name so ardently and yet. not change it. you guys know that’s an option, right. no one can make you keep the shit name your mom gave you. no, not even her.
“it’s so embarrassing that my parents named me X” you can pick a new one. why are you letting ur mommy and daddy decide what name you wear. do u let them choose your outfits too. you are a grown adult and you can call yourself naruto if you want. no one is gonna stop you.

The KIDS Act, ostensibly aimed at protecting children, will raise the risk for journalists, dissidents, and whistleblowers.
"Democrats and Republicans in Congress have struck a deal on a bill they say will help keep children and teens safe online. The KIDS Act could pass on the House floor as soon as next week; if enacted, it would fundamentally change the way everyone — not just kids — accesses the internet.
At stake is your ability to use many social media platforms without revealing your identity.
That’s because the KIDS Act at least strongly incentivizes — and, for some services, outright requires — age verification. Many platforms will turn to age verification to avoid potential liability under the law. Companies like X, video-sharing services like Vimeo, and others with a history of users’ populating social feeds with edgy content may be required to verify users’ ages because they host a certain amount of content deemed “sexual material harmful to minors,” a term that the KIDS Act defines broadly.
That’s a big problem for people who need to be able to use the internet anonymously, since, as Taylor Lorenz has previously written about in The Intercept, “there’s no way to reliably verify someone’s age without verifying who they are.”
Threats to online anonymity harm everyone, but one group is often overlooked: journalists and the sources who talk to them. Age verification requirements will help the Trump administration carry out its vendetta against the press by creating new avenues to identify journalists’ confidential sources. [...]
Mandating age verification effectively hands Big Tech and the government a skeleton key to the identities of every whistleblower, dissident, and investigative reporter who uses online platforms, not to mention everyone else, including children. This kind of surveillance on steroids that surrenders our right to speak, report, and read the news anonymously won’t make anyone safer."
As someone who has organized a gangbang, it is SO HARD to Wrangle People towards the sexy parts and away from the crafted table of snacks which just so happens to be in front of your book shelf and OMG you have THIS gaming System?? That was Kickstarter exclusive! Like, no. Stop. Please return the game book to the shelf and remove your clothes. Please?
well thank god it's not just me

The best sex party I ever went to nearly stopped because someone taped a sheet to the back of sliding glass windows and were using dry erase markers to make diagrams. A bunch of math and physics PhD’s were helping a chemistry phd with a thorny problem and they cheered when they solved it. A board game night broke out and it was really hard to pry people away from the games, science and snacks for sex so someone put up a pole in the living room and four women started pole dancing while shouting instructions to the scientists and board game nerds.
Epic party, I think I shagged 8 women that night and I won a card game.
Why the: "ABSOLUTELY NO CODING IN THE FUCK PIT" rule exists.
Everyone's Friend
the KIDS act passed the house today. 267-117, 47 not voting.
that's not great. but it's not the whole story.
a few things got worse right before the vote too. the language that explicitly protected encryption, saying the bill couldn't be used to force platforms to weaken it, got quietly stripped out on Friday. that safeguard just doesn't exist anymore.
but this isn't over. it heads to the senate next, and the senate is genuinely not on board. blumenthal and cantwell, two of the senators who wrote the original KOSA, are saying they don't want this version near a markup. blackburn, a republican and the other original author, called the missing duty of care provision a red line.
worth being clear here, blackburn isn't on our side. she wants the policy stronger, not gone. but that's still a crack we can use. her opposition means the house version has zero guaranteed path through the senate as written, and a stalled bill is a bill that isn't law yet. use her objection, don't trust her motive.
senate commerce hasn't even scheduled a markup yet. that's the next pressure point. this thing has died or gotten majorly rewritten at this stage before.
contact your senators: find yours here. tell them you don't want the house version anywhere near a vote.
and remember, if you have to, contact your senators scared. anything helps.
this fight isn't lost. it's just moved.
Schism? Schism today?
Wow, I didn't have "catholic schism" on my 2026 bingo card
Schism today
Wondering how long they had this sitting on their computer waiting for the day to send it
did a bit of driving through the state of georgia today and wound up driving through a small town that i later discovered was called newborn, which is an odd name but doesn’t technically have anything wrong with it, except for the fact that i nearly gave myself whiplash doing a double-take at a building sign advertising NEWBORN TAXIDERMY
