Countdown timer showing how much time left until Sunday, April 18, 2027 12:00:00 AM in timezone Denver, America (UTC-06:00)

ok so i recently found out about these delightful things called blinkies and i NEED to show them off here like oh my goodness-

lookie!! yippeeeeee!! once i figure out how to make fully custom blinkies it is so over for my laptop memory i am going to be making so many so so many :D

AND this entire post needs a rehaul, uh- alright here we go so:

hullo, hazel here, or patch, or some other name in my pile over there *points towards my pronouns page for basic info*

uh, i like trees, danganronpa, cannibalism, minecraft (and minecraft youtubers), musicals (if i can focus long enough to get through them completely), and all sorts of other stuff, i should start a love list someday, just write down every single thing i enjoy and love

and now, i must shove my beloved shinies here:

I finally made a poetry side blog :) Poetry side blog: @the-thinking-thicket

it's really frustrating how a lot of people can understand that someone turning 18 is not like, a magical switch that gives them all knowledge and understanding of the world, and that an 18 year old is not reasonably any different than a 17 year old, and instead of doing anything productive with this they take that as a reason to come up with their own arbitrary age at which you become sentient, or whatever. which is how you end up with people having "21+ only" in bio

no one with any amount of power brave or enlightened enough to call what the western world is doing to children segregation. children are segregated from public life. children are a legitimate oppressed class

boccher

what else do you call it when third spaces place curfews for when children are allowed in, when public squares hire cops and guards to boot out any kids they find for "loitering"; when arcades and theatres and entertainment spaces mandate ID checks regardless of if their content is age-inappropriate or not; when parks for kids are constantly sold off for more property development, when public transport is gutted and tickets are converted to card-only systems, when micromobility devices are progressively outlawed under the moral panic pretense of "youth hooliganism", when cash is phased out of retail such that children have no legal means of purchasing anything independently? what else do you call it when children are completely barred from sharing space with adults on the internet? if we earnestly believe that children are an oppressed class who require liberation then we must analyse these things using the same language that we analyse all other class dynamics

I do think it's pretty normal to hate children. At this point the majority of kids are being raised by social media that is heavily focused on producing as many rapists as possible (Mr Beast -> Manosphere -> MAGA)

So you blame the children and do nothing?

bluejaymarin

liberals will look you dead in the eye and tell you kids are rapists and you should give up on them because of youtubers

“Most abuse of children is at the hands of their parents, this being the result of the proximity and power differential between adults and children, and, pertaining to the latter, the idea that children are the property of their parents” yes, I agree with you, this is just factually correct

“The propensity and desire to harm children is a spiritual curse that manifests itself when adults produce (or adopt) children, the capacity to do harm to children is a metaphysical state that only happens if you are responsible for their birth. Other adults can only be neutral or Safe, and we therefore don’t actually have to think about ageism or power differentials or any other kind of abuse or power structure ever”

Weirdly popular position

osmanthusoolong

There are a lot of people who are convinced that their empathy for youth and support for their liberation makes them simply larger, older kids and on the same footing in terms of power! Unlike the evil Parents from planet Parent, who were never children themselves obvs

today's reason I fucking love the open source community: Ageless Linux, a brand new Debian-based operating system specifically designed to break the law by giving children access to computers that explicitly refuse to track their age.
