I was on the phone with my parents and forgot a word so I was like “the disease- what’s it called these days- it’s consumption, the one where victorian ladies coughed blood onto handerchiefs–“ and then my dad started laughing and was like “tuberculosis, but I love that you remembered ‘consumption’ first”

I am once again a parody of myself

ok but legitimately i think the reason why kids aren’t taking internet safety seriously is because the people who are telling us not to put our personal information out seem so out of touch. no one acknowledges the possibility of meeting very real teenaged friends online, they always say that everyone you meet is a 40 year old white man in disguise. because they aren’t acknowledging things we know are true, it becomes a lot easier to dismiss the rest of what they’re saying as well. internet safety lessons absolutely must keep up with the times and acknowledge the internet’s capacity for good if you want kids to take to heart warnings about its capacity for bad.
