As a speech therapist/educator, I’m always trying to find simple techniques/explanations to help little kids process and understand their emotions and then teach them healthy ways to express themselves when they’re angry, frustrated, etc. I notice that telling them I deal with the same difficulties, like wanting to yell when I’m angry, goes a long way. Then they know what they feel isn’t weird BUT there are ways to handle their emotions that don’t hurt themselves or others.
If you want to read an academic article that's behind a paywall just email the author and ask politely if they will send you the article. Most academics will be thrilled that you want to read their work and will gladly send it to you.
i do think us minors should be informed when the adults are fucking up the difference between a top/bottom and dom/sub. we have crumbs of sex ed as it is, and y’all are not helping us by using the two like synonyms. using k*nk and non-k*nk terms interchangeably is really damaging to us and i wish more people would talk about it and make it a point to clarify what you mean so that minors don’t end up in shit we don’t need to be involved in.
i don’t care if it’s embarrassing for you. if you know you’re presenting wrong information as correct, especially about something like sex, and don’t do anything to fix it, i have an issue with you.
but also, when developing minors see bottoms (even jokingly) shamed for being bottoms, it’s puts a lot of pressure on minors to act a specific way during sex, ignore their boundaries to be a “top” (quotes cause that’s really not what most people mean), etc., which can cause a lot of unhealthy and unpleasant experiences with sex. in combination with this, when minors see tops being exhalted for being tops, it implies that they are superior, there is something wrong with being on the receiving end, and you should only give and give and give, which isn’t good either. and theres a lot of ideas that you have to be one or the other, never change, which is also really harmful.
the reality is is that minors are having sex, even lgbtq kids, and adults should be careful about the message they’re spreading about sex, especially in heavily minor-populated areas, like social media. like yes, i understand that minors shouldn’t be looking at your 40k words of omegaverse smut, but that’s not what i mean. the way you talk about sex on a day to day basis affects people, even just in jokes.
so like. please be mindful of the way you word things, especially if you’re trying to present sex ed information.
but also to other minors, don’t talk about sex ed, even queer sex ed, with random adults online. it’s just not safe.
here are some good resources on lgbtq sex. i know they can be hard to find, but they are out there and they are important.

every year eid becomes harder to celebrate knowing how many palestinian, ahmadi, uyghur, rohingya, kashmiri and shi’a muslims are fearing for their lives on what should be such a blessed day. please keep all these muslims in your prayers and please keep supporting mutual aid organizations that are helping these groups. may Allah protect the muslim ummah and may we all be able to practice our faith and celebrate freely next ramadhan. Ameen! 🌙🤲🏽🕌
In grade school we learned the normal way to do multiplication one day and then the lattice way the next, except I was sick the day we learned the normal way and they never went back and reviewed it and neither did I and so to this day I only know how to use the lattice method
For real though, David Harvey is the man when it comes to Marx’s Capital, he’s been reading and teaching about it for decades and I highly recommend checking him out. He’s got free classes on youtube and all, it’s great and really accessible if you don’t know much about economics or theory.
not sure why people find this weird, both are made for the human sitting in them to be able to do so relatively comfortably for long hours. It just happens to be that ergonomics don't really change *that* much over the course of growing up.
