Did u know that (most) adults were once teenagers

Did u know that sometimes when adults write about teens having sexual thoughts, it is because—*gasp*—we remember what it was like to be a—*whispering*—minor?

Did u know that I had crushes on adult people like teachers? And I also knew what sex was before I turned 18? And also I wanted to have sex?

I will continue posting in favour of there being fewer people like that

btw if you're bored as an artist you should try learning to draw fat and skin folds, it genuinely is really fun once you get into it.

Me, watching my kitten hold still for a suspiciously long time: Ollie, are you peeing on my floor?

Ollie: Not

Me: Are you sure?

Ollie, grunting through time and space to push out a chocolate mcmuffin wider than he is tall: Not

King of the Hill is back! Don't forget Jonathan Joss (John Redcorn) didn't just die he was murdered for being gay and married to a trans man.

The next hearing for his murderer is August 18th I think. They asshole is more offended that he's being called a homophobe (he has a gay brother gasp!) than murderer (which isn't even in question he confessed immediatly and there were at minimum 5 witnesses)

The media tried to blame it on Joss’ past mental health and addiction issues. He's somehow also supernaturally strong and big and scary and that's not racist at all says white cops.

Please don't forget him. He was so proud and excited for king of the hill. You don't deserve to be murdered because a white dude says u need to die

OBVIOUSLY nobody should ever be abused and abuse is bad and abusers should not be coddled. I went through abuse myself, I know this

that being said. I don't think being a victim of abuse gives you the right to go around telling people that they remind you of your abuser for reasons they cannot control. it is unkind, unfair, and incredibly manipulative to treat other people this way. I don't care if it is because your abuser was an addict, or had a particular religious background, or had a particular disorder, or something else entirely. you cannot hold an entire group of people responsible for what happened to you

you are not morally obligated to spend time with people who remind you of your abuser. but you are morally obligated to treat other people with dignity and respect

Another task if you are able, and I'm going to preface this with: Literally every criticism of this is valid and correct. Every negative opinion or problem you may have with this is valid and correct, no argument. And I just did it anyway.

Here it is: Give your address to a stranger.

Yeah bonkers, right? Here's the deal: There's a coffee shop I go to decently often. There is a barista there who is gay. I don't know his name. He doesn't know my name. We've only interacted for him to hand me my coffee. We've never spoken beyond "Thank you," and "Have a nice day."

However, I know he's gay because I've overheard him talking to his coworkers about it and leftist issues.

So today when I handed him the cash for my coffee, I also handed him a piece of paper with my home address that said "I don't like this political climate. If you are ever in danger in the next few years, come here: [insert my address]. For maximum safety (for both of us), memorize and destroy this." No name, no number.

What is the purpose of this? Being on the run from a large system is a catch 22. You're safer with other people, but you hesitate to run to your friends because that puts them at risk. Also, your friends' places are the first places people looking for you would go, so it only delays them finding you for a limited time (especially in the age of the internet where they can use your social media to find who you're connected with).

This is basically Strangers on a Train but for protection instead of murder. There's no way any kind of police force is going to be able to account for a seemingly random, spontaneous pact between two strangers. To even get close to figuring out where tf the person they're pursuing went, they'll have to try to identify area activists/allies or just break down every door in a given area.

I'm doing this with the hope this will get around and other people will do that for my friends who are threatened by the current administration - especially the ones too far away to run to me if they wanted to.

So, as long as you know for sure that the vulnerable person is on your side (ex: There are gay Republicans wildly enough), give your address to a stranger. Normally I'd say don't write it down, but it's harder to convey the message if you don't, and there are cell phones that can hear us everywhere. You'll just have to rely on the person destroying the note.

Is this crazy? Yes. Is it 100% safe to give a stranger your home address? Absolutely not. Does it feel painfully awkward and weird to do? Yes it does!

But if it's a risk you can afford to take, it's better to risk building a network of strangers ready to protect each other than it is to avoid an awkward interaction and find yourself or your friends with nowhere to run later.
