"But won't children be confused by all the LGBT-"

Yesterday I saw a mother with a baby carriage, being followed by a girl of about 4-6 years old on a bicycle. The kid started ringing her bike bell like RING RING RING RING RING RING RING, and the mother turned to look behind them to see whether they were being followed by a cyclist who desperately needs to pass them for the sake of everyone's safety.

And the little girl - who just rang the goddamn bell herself 5 seconds ago - also turned to look.

Kids are confused by everything at all times. They don't know jack shit. About anything.

i remember being like 8 or 9 and being told that my dad’s ex-wife was no longer diane and we were to address her as daniel now. my reaction: “ok.”

me and my brother later had a small discussion about whether that could happen randomly (conclusion: no, he probably had to file papers or something) and whether daniel should now be referred to as dad’s ex-husband (conclusion: yes but only to see the face he’ll make) but at no point did we find it like... alarming? the world is big and weird. we were used to it.

finding out a sorta-relative could just change genders off camera, as it were, was a whole lot less head-splodey than finding out there were no squirrels in australia!

"Won't they be confused by all the--" So what if they are? Life is often confusing. That's part of how we learn. Part of the job of an adult is to help confused kids learn and understand things. There's no obligation to protect the kids from the confusing things. Quite the reverse.

In my experience anyone using this BS excuse isn't worried about a child's potential confusion, but their own, which they don't want to admit to having.

Also kids are far less likely to be confused by something the younger they learn about it. Kiddo had queer people in his life and casual references to queerness before he could even talk. It was never confusing for him. It was normal.

Squirrels were an invasive species to Australia but they never managed to gain a foothold and were eradicated within a few years of their arrival.

I don't understand how this is even a defence in the age of drone warfare.

Or even like... Cannon warfare.

Yeah, the Ottomans could have taken this in the fourteenth century.

taking a class on sex this semester which has resulted in many fun things like "sex activity" and "sex final" being added to my planner. being very mature and serious about this .

I had a class called "What is Evil?" The professor called us his "evil students" and I got to say things like: "I have evil class later." and "I have readings in evil to do." and "Well my evil professor said..."

I miss having that class

[ID: tumblr reply on this post reading "my partner did a sociology degree and one of the modules was on organised crime. very funny to see stuff like "anyone doing organised crime this afternoon" in a uni groupchat"]

I had a theology class once called the Satan Seminar. That was a fun one to talk about in public

aromantic-goldfishdeactivated202

I had a class on Magic, Witchcraft, and Religion. You can imagine the joy I got out of saying “I have to study for my magic final” or “im off to magic class now”

You and Simon revel in the fact that everyone thinks he's just as much of a hardass off the field as he is on it, that he's authoritative and resolute, an enigma wrapped up in a mystery covered in a riddle. They couldn't be further from the truth. He's the neediest, most lovesick, most devoted beefcake cunt you've ever met, the deep timbre of his voice just as soft and affectionate, pretty brown eyes following your every move, looking so reverential and in love and shit. He fuckin' worships you, couldn't keep his hands and lips off of you if he tried. If you were to say jump, he'd ask, "How high, sweetheart?" He does something to irritate you, best believe he'd do everything in his power to correct it. Some pissant's bothering you? All he needs is a look, and it's on like Donkey Kong. You don't have to worry about anything, luv; you just gotta keep being you and loving on him. Hell, YOU have his bank cards.

And yes, he's right where he bloody fuckin' wants to be.
