Facts that adults don’t tell you about bullying
- Communication doesn’t work on bullies. Telling a bully they’re making you feel bad is the wrong way to go. They want to make you feel bad. That’s the point.
- being kind to a bully doesn’t always mean they’ll stop. Sometimes it means they’ll just use your kindness to manipulate you while still continuing to bully you.
- not every bully has a sympathetically tragic home life. Sometimes people are just mean. Sometimes people just get off on hurting others.
- on that note, a tough home life is a reason, not an excuse. You don’t have to put up with bullying because somebody’s life sucks, just like you don’t have to let someone mug you because they’re broke.
- in order to forgive someone, they have to apologize first. If your bully has not apologized to you, you do not owe them anything.
- getting bullied as a kid can still mess you up in adult life. Maybe kids grow out of being bullies, but the marks they left often don’t go away.
- there are ways to get people to stop bullying you, but they almost all involve being mean back.
- as long as parents keep raising shitty bullying kids, there will be bullies. No amount of assemblies and hand-drawn posters will fix the problem. It’s the parents’ fault.

Men: Your Consent Matters Too
Fellas, listen.
You don’t have to do anything sexual that you’re not interested in. Moreover, you don’t have to explain why. “No” is a complete sentence.
Not interested in getting pegged? You don’t have to. Monogamous and not into the idea of another partner? Okay. Not sure about period sex? Cool.
And if your partner decides to question or mock your maturity or your masculinity or your sexuality because you say no? It’s time to re-evaluate the relationship. See if you don’t deserve better than that.

In response to this: https://twitter.com/_kurus37/status/1018341990289715200 Who would have thought something like this would bring me back to art. lol… Gosh but I’m sick and tired of random people declaring that “changing” the color of a character with darker skin based on lighting is somehow whitewashing. Skin changes colors depending on the lighting and atmosphere! >:C Plus, some people’s styles makes EVERYTHING lighter. I know sometimes I like to lighten EVERYTHING up cuz it looks nice to the eyes! Like a light watercolor look. Zoey does not approve. >:V I do realize this is a “straw man”, but when people bitch about something like this it looks extremely silly. Like, this post explains it better: https://twitter.com/NeruNox/status/1018914157092114435 A little note about Zoey: Her and all dark-skinned people in her world have a lighter belly, just in case you were confused by that. lol I also guess she’s into volley ball now. Hunter shall join her. ahaha

I’m all about body positively, and since the fat acceptance movement is a massive part of that, I felt like it was time to take a look at it.
There’s a lot to love about FA- it teaches us to view people equally regardless of their size. It also challenges negative, offensive stereotypes and discourages bullying. It shows us that being fat isn’t a horrific thing.
But like any movements FA has its flaws. It can become dangerous when people use it as an excuse to not take care of themselves. You can think you look hot, and totally love and accept your fuller figure, but you must never forget that being overweight comes with health risks. I think it’s important to always be mindful of that as well as having an FA mindset…After all life isn’t all about appearance.
