Normalize apologizing to children.

I fear nothing like I fear the surge of teenage beatles fans that will spawn everywhere online when those godawful biopics drop. I know I sound like an asshole but if you get into some sterile version of them you’re not into them. The 4px videos and yellow 60s teeth are essential I’m sorry

On my hands and knees begging adults to allow children to engage in risk play.

And by risk play I don't mean handing them a gun and playing Russian Roulette.

I mean like climbing trees, getting so sick spinning on the swing they throw up, balancing on the curb, sitting in the mud, walking on slippery surfaces, building half ass ramps to ride their bike over, standing on rocks, or anything that involves a smidgen of confidence and out of the box thinking that could result in injury.

Obviously like watch your kids and such, but when we talk about the fun of being an 80s or 90s kid, it's not just talking about CDs and Walkmans or not having iPads. It's about how kids today were robbed of critical learning and experience skills we were allowed to have.

Playgrounds disappearing, helicopter parents, and sue culture really destroyed a child's development in the United States, and I think it's about time we as adults recognize that, because the kids sure have.

jax comic

had a horrid dream last night wherein someone made a TADC Of Mice And Men crossover au. pomni was george (because short and main character) jax was lennie (because rabbits) and ragatha was curley's wife (no clue who was curley)

i cannot stress enough how popular this au became on dream-tumblr. there was so much fanart, especially of the ending scene for some reason (iykyk) it superseded all other aus, everyone was just obsessed with Of Amazing Mice And Digital Men

come on I JUST logged on

I looked into this https://www.yahoo.com/news/telegram-rape-chat-groups-70-142422399.html

when I first saw this headline I thought that reminds me of "the nth room" sex crime case in south korea, well reading the article it turns out it's essentially the same thing but on a global scale! what an activity to bond over. if you don't know the details of these situations and don't want to read further - it's chatroom discussing rape and torture methods and spreading pictures/videos raping women and girls. the korean chat room discovery resulted in conviction, but that's also due to the involvement of blackmailing and other cyber crimes.

and no, I don't think it's an issue with telegram. you know some of us grew up around men like this. it's easy to pretend the issue is one app, or this or that country, or deviant sexuality, but no, it is just a pure hatred for women. now I have my own theories on what particular life experiences lead to this particularly sexually sadistic manifestation of misogyny (I think it begins with a certain parental dynamic) but that's a whole other can of worms.

While I will agree with anyone that says boomer memes are mostly awful... some very notable exceptions to this rule DO exist:
