Good grief if you're younger than Minecraft you shouldn't even have any social media yet. Y'all should be out there and develop social skills and learn how to interact with people irl and stuff. Internet manners ≠ irl manners
imagining a ten year old seeing this tweet and going “damn… i can’t retweet it” before walking away sadly and kicking a can
#i've been having a work-based-training on a school for the last four weeks and followed a bunch of ten year olds#and they're good kids even if some of them have some issues but that's beside the point#my point is that there's almost a disconnect between the kids and reality#they don't get that the internet and irl don't function the same way#and that just saying 'it was a misunderstanding' won't change tone or body language or context#like it was only 20 years ago i was 10 and many of their parents are my age#internet wasn't the same thing back then#few had cell phones and the fanciest ones had colour screen#no camera or tiktok or youtube or any games with a possible exception of snake#there are a lot of things that are better today than then#but how so many parents give kids free reign over tech isn't healthy#i don't think you should read their personal email etc (unless you have a *genuin* cause to believe there's grooming or something going on)#but imo you should restrict them from tiktok and other algorithm based media until they're mature enough to understand how those sites work#and teach them how to safely navigate them and so on#i was never good at social skills and still don't think i am but as i said there's almost a disconnect sometimes#pls don't use the internet as a baby sitter if you have kids#also the use of computers all the time is actually fucking up their ability to write and spell and work on eye-hand-cordination#my writing wasn't the best when i was ten nor were my classmates#but at least we turned our letters the correct way and knew to draw the letters from the top#so that ''h'' wouldn't end up looking like an ''n'' for example#and i'm not including the dyslectic kids in this#this is true for most of the students there's only a handful who don't flip their letters and so on

Rules: Tag 10 people you want to get to know better.
Tagged by @jasontoddiefor (sorry for the wait, I've missed the notification somehow)
I'm going to break the rules and not tag 10 people, because:
1. I'm not long or often enough on this site for my socially inept ass to know ten people. 2. I know a lot of people don't like being included in chains like this.
Relationship status: single
Favourite Colour: if you see me buying clothes of my own violition that's neither black nor jeans it's probably going to be bottle/forest green or dark burgundy (aka dark red).
Song Stuck In My Head: So Many. And it changes frequently, too. It's either newest obsession or something completely random and obnoxious. I've finally seen Newsies, so lately it's been a mashup of Seize the Day, Carrying the banner, The World Will Know and Something to Believe In from Newsies. With a dash of Paris Paloma's Labour, Under pressure from Queen and Inkpot gods from the amazing devil. I hope River (shut your mouth and run me like a river) will not come back to haunt me, become sure, listening to harmonies of this song is fun. Until you have it stuck in your head for the entire shift at work, that is.
Last Song I Listened To: Valhalla Calling from Miracle of Sound.
Three favourite foods: First of all, why must it be three. That's cruel and unusual punishment. Second of all, miso soup, chicken thighs in tamarind sauce and egg rolls from the one Chinese place (yes, it counts as one, shhh), xiaolongbao/steamed and boiled dumplings in general (except gyoza).
Last Thing(s) I Googled: bolo ties, because I was checking appearance of characters in Bungou Stray Dogs, whether saline solution can be used as eye drops in a pinch (it can), the names of songs/authors listed above because while tests said I'm not dyslectic when I was a kid, I am definitely an idiot.
Dream Tip: Too many places to count, but definitely includes my group of friends, an idea what we want to see beforehand and loose schedule rather than planned-by-the-hour. And, like, unlimited time. And money. So we could actually go all these places and see all these things. And avoid doing any of these in the hottest months in those regions because I am NOT build for heat (it's not even summer yet and I'm still suffering. It's just 26 °C, <around 80°F> and I'm already done)
Anything I want: mental wellbeing, to actually feel good about what I'm doing with my life, stable income and housing, a dog, to see friends more often.
