#factory parenting is what it is

[grungekitty-77]

Censorship isn't protecting children. It's at best a lazy and lackluster solution.

Children need supervision.

They need an adult checking in with the kid to make sure everything is ok and they are being safe. They need someone that knows them and cares about their wellbeing that can make individual judgment calls on what the kid can handle. There needs to be designated children's spaces that are watched to make sure no abuse happens (and no, the entire world/internet can't be that space.)

If a child is turned loose on the internet, they can get hurt. Same as a child turned loose in a shopping mall might find the sex shop and see something they shouldn't. You don't demand the sex shop keep their doors locked or the mall remove the store.

You supervise your child! There is no substitution for it. Kids need parents, not book burnings!

The idea that censorship is to protect kids is at best the laziest solution possible to the problem, and at worst an emotional hot button designed to trick you into allowing authoritarianism.

The reason that child is viewing age inappropriate material is because their parents are giving them unfiltered access to it and refusing to do any wellness checks or have any discussions about being safe and responsible with the privilege. Scrubbing the internet clean is not going to fix the problem, but it will give certain authority figures untold power.

Kickin making his plan for the next snowball fight(they're playing capture the flag, angel being the "flag):

I HATE/LOVE HOW THIS IS SO IN-CHARACTER FOR KICKIN IN THIS AU. He's so overdramatic. I bet he called Dogday for help and the drama just increased x2. The boys are planning an entire war while everyone else is just listening and nodding along.

Angel hearing a whole musical in the background while they make soup like "I hope the kids aren't having a snow war again", and then they come out to check in on them and the screaming goes on for at least twenty minutes as everyone jumps in on them.

I feel like we don’t acknowledge the level of trauma Remus Lupin went through when he was four and a werewolf came through his window whilst he was sleeping and mauled him. like he would have died rather than be turned if his dad hadn’t shown up throwing spells about. that shit is heavy

Yesterday, my son and I were talking about large animals.. like Tigers and such. Wild animals, but ones he's seen in wildlife sanctuaries before. We're walking out to meet his bus at 620 a.m., mind you. While I'm getting the chain to the gate, he looks me dead in the eye and says.

"Mom we need to fix our enclosure." And I was ??? Huh?? He nodded to the fence and said "tigers have a fence, a big one. We have a fence. Doesn't that count as an enclosure? Since its where we live. We live inside the fence."

It's 620 am. I haven't had coffee. It was too early for that. And then I sent THIS to my friend this morning:

And realized he probably came by it honestly.

Cheese and crackers.

@fanaticsnail save me. Send help.

meanwhile at an office job its all surface level politics. i talk to one coworker about elden ring. another coworker about bucees and gas stations in texas. i sit at my computer and i make junkmail. most useless ass job in the world in fact an actively harmful job

Honestly I’d really like to make some kind of MLP AU or redesign/rewrite or whatever else of the sort because MLP was essentially my first fandom and it’s extremely nostalgic to me, but I’ve seen so many people do it already and have found myself physically incapable of producing something that isn’t blatantly copying what other people have done :/
