Anyway, super pissed off at all y’all who’ve been painting any casual, social relationship between minors and adults as “grooming” or “predatory,” as I try to point an 18-year-old on Twitter whose parents are attempting to force them into ABA therapy towards possible sources of help or support, and they say they have….zero safe adults in their life who are older than 18-20.
Folks. Unrelated, decent, older adults are a vital source of support and safety when someone’s family and school are unreliable or abusive.
There are different appropriate boundaries for friendships between kids and adults than between kids and other kids, but making kids believe that zero adults in their lives are safe to have as friends is not actually making them safer.

clicking on ‘callout posts’ here is wild because there’s like, a 90% chance it’ll be something like ‘they once reblogged a post from someone who follows someone who drew amethyst as white’ and a 10% chance that it will be like ‘stole a human being’s kidney in an alleyway’

people never stop revealing depths of themselves as they get older. case in point: i have had three friends in their late 30s/early 40s come out as bi in recent years, one in the same age bracket has reached the conclusion that he’s ace (& is now way happier), & of course lots of people are having outbreaks of The Genders, so like… idk. you can’t just expect people to have everything nailed down and sorted the second they hit puberty or before? just because someone’s taken a while to get where they’re going doesn’t mean they don’t belong there.

Reactionaries are malding so hard over the blues clues pride parade that they had to make up that the MAP flag was secretly put in there.
This float represents the gender questioning flag
You can even see the distinction between the green and yellow.
I pointed this out to them, but they said it was a pedophile dogwhistle anyways. They don’t give a fuck.
Anyways, if you see posts like this going around, make sure to correct it. because its really shitty that this is circulating.

Stuff kids on tumblr better relearn
1. You are responsible for your own media experience.
2. There is such a thing as a healthy level of avoidance towards topics that make you feel unwell or even (in a real-life clinical definition of the term) trigger you - but you are the one to actively take care of what you view.
3. Avoiding does not mean policing others.
4. You have no right to tell artists to censor themselves - you may criticize what others do, you may dislike it, that’s fine - but actively asking for censorship when you could easily unfollow or block a person just makes you look incompetent in your use of the internet.
5. Do not give people on tumblr or /any/ website the responsibility for your emotional well-being. Because these people do not even know you so no, you have no right to ask them to take care of you.

25 years ago an unknown Chinese protester stood in front of a tank in defiance of the government. No one knows the identity of the man but he was given the nick name “Tank Man”. This is one of the most iconic photographs of the century.
