This

is the most iconic photo ever taken. Everyone else go home. Photographers, put away your cameras. Nothing will ever live up to Everything in this image.

When I was younger, older people told me I'd understand my mother's abusive behaviour when I became a parent.

Then I became a parent.

I understand her even less.

I got a complex baby just like I was and it's been rough and yet I've always responded to my child with empathy and love. I enjoy our fun moments and I act as the anchor in the storm during the hard times. I am a constant, and I am consistent.

I love my child and I make sure she knows it every single day.

Am I perfect? No. Absolutely not. But we don't do abuse in this household. We do not do neglect. Children are not abandoned and their needs, emotional and physical, are met with patience and care.

Because they are children and I expect them to act like children.

The Luminous Solution is killing me because it's going back and forth between an established couple with no communication who've drifted apart despite living together and are hurting each other unintentionally but with very real consequences for both of them and this sweet little high school couple that's just starting off with sugar and treats and nothing but sweetness as they grow closer but are still too young to control their lives and so have everything to love without any fault of their own.

Patis and Thana are both adults making choices, either to work to the point that you don't even seen your partner's struggles or to hide your issues from your partner to keep from pressuring them even though the secrets will only hurt.

But Ryou and Mai are just starting this blossoming romance and working on their friendship and doing their best with the way they love each other as they just start to discover what it means to love each other.

I worry that there are no happy endings here, only broken wishes that turn into broken dreams and broken people who ache with the knowledge of what could have, should have, been.

It just would not be February without some unpleasant surprise.

Y'all... I can't.... The spambots are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for names

This is beyond peak absurdity. Dashcon has made Tumblr conventions permanently radioactive for at least a generation.

Hard pass on Dashcon 2 for me!

Prepare yourself.

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

nothing makes me go "ooooh we are NOT the same" quite like reading some post about how people talk with their parents about their interests. what do you mean you told your father about stevebucky. what do you mean he asked further questions

i really can't emphasize how heartbreaking it is that the recent harassment campaign against @/90-ghost (among others; see: 1, 2, 3) has led to well-meaning people telling others not to listen to him. he is one of the most visible survivors of the genocide here on tumblr. his entire journey of escape is so well documented! and yet, it only took a few people confidently pointing fingers to create an entire witch hunt accusing him and other palestinians of being disreputable scammers and liars.

i can't help but feel like the reason why people were SO eager to believe those accusations, is because it was uncomfortable to see posts from palestinians every day asking for our time, attention, money, and support; so when someone presented the perfect excuse to ignore all those posts and asks while also taking the high ground, people just LEAPED onto it. they wanted to believe it, because it would be more comfortable.

honestly, i understand feeling overwhelmed by bad news, by the number of asks and messages in your inbox, and so on and so forth. i understand needing to set boundaries for yourself so you don't get burned out. i think this is really when you have to have a set of principles to fall back on, even when you're tired, uncomfortable, angry, and/or sad. so here's the one i suggest, which has been working for me best: don't make your discomfort with this situation into someone else's problem, and for god's sake don't make it a public problem.

if you hate seeing fundraiser posts or news about gaza, i can't emphasize this enough, JUST MOVE ON. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND SCROLL PAST! all you have to do is absolutely nothing. which is what you were doing anyway, so it shouldn't be hard. if you don't have the heart to read, or reblog, or share, or donate, or support in other ways, at the very least, don't obstruct the efforts of people who ARE trying to make a difference. this is, quite literally, the least you can do.
