sorry for how I acted when there were multiple noises happening at the same time

may be a hot take but i think the fact minors can access 18+ content by just clicking a button that says 'yes im totally over 18 trust me' is like. totally fine tbh. its a non-issue. i dont care if curious teenagers are looking at porn. they've been doing that for as long as porn has existed. id rather teens explore their sexuality through images on the internet than rush into real life experiences when they're not ready for it yknow. the UK is trying to put stricter age verification in place (which in turn is becoming an online privacy nightmare) and like. for what. who is it helping. why is this a problem.

Something i wish someone would have told me as a kid:

Draw without worrying about what the final product looks like. Write short stories about anything you think of. Sketch whenever you can. Grab your old paints and canvas and put color to it. Turn on your favorite song and sing. You dont even have to finish your pieces, just go until youre done. If you want, watch tutorials and draw that way. Just create. If you dont have the tools, draw in the sand with your fingers. Put leaves in patterns, stack your food in a fun way. Make things, even if you hate the final product. Because society has made making art seem like a sin unless you immediately make something beautiful. Art shouldn't be about that. Its about expression, and fun. And you'll find eventually that those pieces you hated helped you get to the point you create something you love.

Dont ever stop making art.

I have to come clean. I'm the one who bought the stained glass snail lamp. It was me, I'm the ebay vulture.

AND I DON'T REGRET IT

LOOK AT THIS SHIT HE'S PERFECT

Disabled people with potentially hereditary conditions aren't being "irresponsible" and "immoral" if they want to have kids. To insist that a certain marginalized population inherently "shouldn't reproduce" regardless of individual circumstances is literally eugenics.

hot take but i think society is unable to differentiate between platonic and romantic attraction

when i was a kid, i was always told to "marry your best friend" and that friends come before romance, so my autistic brain internalised that as "romance is a step up from friendship", but i had no idea how big the actual step was. i thought i had a crush on someone when in reality i wanted to be friends with them, and when that fizzled out i wasn't actually dissatisfied

obviously now that i'm older i understand that it was a misunderstanding of what platonic attraction is, but it was a major difficulty throughout my childhood. and when almost every single show in your country has at least one straight couple that seems to have both romantic and platonic chemistry, it gets confusing for children to internalise, especially neurodivergent children

obviously i could go on about allonormativity, but the main point is that we aren't teaching children that friendship and romance exist on wholly different metrics. i'm more than aware that we shouldn't get into the "specifics" of attraction when teaching children, but if we're trying to combat heteronormativity and gender norms being shoved down their throats, then we ought to do the same for this, because humans are social creatures that deserve to know how different types of relationships actually work

that's my opinion at least

It turns out that you can become the person you’ve always envisioned but you’ll still have the person you were before inside of you and you have to treat them with as much forgiveness and love as possible
