it's because they want control over the children, and if the child has rights and privacy, they won't gave control. they want kids to show off. they don't want to say "my kid is amazing, i respect them like an adult!" they want "my kid is amazing, they're independent and smart and flashy and performative as an adult!"

honestly you can convince parents that just about anything is necessary for their kids’ well-being except, like, respecting their boundaries/identities/basic human rights.

like, people will spend hundreds of dollars on classical music brain training kits for literal newborn infants because someone on good morning america said it might make them 0.3% smarter but god forbid you tell them to stop reading their kids’ fuckin diaries or use their correct pronouns.

All it takes for a character to be interpreted as heterosexual is simply for the character to exist. A character can never kiss a member of the opposite gender, hook up with one, or show any signs of attraction and still be viewed as straight. Meanwhile, two members of the same gender can have the most intimate onscreen relationship, flirt, check each other out, show visible signs of being in love with the other, and somehow none of that is enough to even SUGGEST that they might be queer.

What a gross double standard. Sexuality is not “straight until proven otherwise” like so many believe it to be. Newsflash to all the straight normies out there, your favorite non labeled, sexuality unconfirmed character in your favorite show is NOT STRAIGHT just bc they haven’t been confirmed as queer. Use your fucking brains for once. It’s all about diving into media and picking up on subtext until that subtext suggests queerness. Then, suddenly, everyone loses their fucking ability to interpret a piece of media. Have you considered that: if all signs point to them being gay then maybe they actually really are just gay???

Inside Ukrainian Moria: Huge Artyomsol Salt Mine Deep Under Ground by Ivan R.

My mom suffers from a critical salt deficiency. This is a lie. She just started her life at a baseline of salt much below the average person. Also untrue. She just fuckin loves salt. That one’s real.

My mom’s boundless hunger for salt manifests in a few ways but it’s almost always met with outrage and to be honest I can’t fault the people who serve her food for being infuriated. She even salts her watermelon.

The most memorable occasion for me was at a creperie in Paris. My mom ordered a ham and cheese crepe. Our food arrived, it looked amazing. My dad and I reached for our silverware.

My mother reached for the salt.

It’s critical to know that she did not taste the crepe before reaching. We had no prior frame of reference for their baseline saltiness. Nevertheless. She automatically went straight to needing more salt.

I looked up and saw our server watching my mother with a look of pure indignation and rage. “Mom,” I said urgently, “You didn’t even try it yet.”

She waved me off and salted the crepe before taking a bite and nodding complacent enjoyment. The server did not return to our table of his own volition.

Most recently for her birthday we went to the aquarium. They had a little restaurant on site and my folks got fish and chips. Mom specified she would like salt and ketchup then waited for dad and I to go collect our food.

I picked up our food and asked the cook, “Is there salt packets?”

His head shot up in confused annoyance, “It’s well seasoned,” he said.

“Believe me. My mom would add salt to a salt lick, I won’t be allowed at the table if I don’t bring extra.”

He looked into my eyes and we shared a silent moment of suffering before he pointed to a tiny hidden bin of salt packets. I thanked him and brought my mom her food.

She salted the fries before tasting them and pronounced them very pleasant.

While I did get 50$, my Mom decided to take 100$ from me, to recoup her own expenses, and so I find myself scraping and struggling again. In addition to the 300$ I stated I needed for transportation, I once again need money for food, have started to feel the consequences of barely having spring clothes, need to renew toiletry and my phone bill is looming.

I am remaking a post asking for financial help, even as the other is still circulating. I have been dealing with severe OCD, depression, auditory hallucinations, as well as digestive issues, and constant exhaustion.

Transportation swallows about 60% of my budget, which means cutting on vital needs. I have to replenish toiletry. I need to be able to feed myself, knowing that my mother wilfully hoards the kitchen. I'm very ill prepared for spring, clothing wise, and would like to buy some clothing. My phone bill is going in the hundreds (and rushing towards the payment deadline).

Hey y'all, it has come to my attention that many of you crave that mineral…

And even though this is specifically a blog for non-mammalian creatures, I feel as if I should meet your basic biological needs.

So, I got y'all some salt licks. Feel free to lick the screen.

I've made a post recently asking for 400$, only received 21$, which I'm grateful for, but due to my utter dependency on external financial help, isn't enough. I have severe OCD, was recently diagnosed with severe depression and subnutritution, and have multiple gut issues and auditory hallucinations. This means I have a small heap of medical appointments I have to go to in addition to just living life, and I'm bleeding money into transportation.

I also have barely any spring clothing (as in right below the bare minimum). I need to constantly replenish toiletry. I need money for food, and especially since I can't use the kitchen most of the time because of my Mom, ready made meals are expensive. My mother is asking for 50$ as a "contribution". I also have to take care of my phone bill.
