Can't believe I forgot to tell y'all about last weekend

I went to Comic Con in London and it ended with me recording a video with Maurice LaMarche, the voice actor of The Brain from Pinky and The Brain, that he sent to Cary Elwes for his birthday

the thing about being a disabled grad student is that if you want even half a chance you constantly have to not only reveal but interrogate and explain your softest most vulnerable parts. while people around you act like this is just completely normal and actually that is not the softest most vulnerable part of you and actually you are exactly the same as all of them. so you feel like you are in disguise as exactlythesame while also completely exposed. and you just have to live like that. absolutely insane

Y'all have got to realize there are ways to protect older teens from sexual predators without insisting that teenagers don't think about sex or sexuality until the magical moment exactly 18 years from their birth. Trying to reduce harm to teenagers (especially teenagers online!) is a good and valid goal but pretending none of them have ever viewed porn or fucked isn't it. You've gotta acknowledge that if they don't have safe ways to explore their sexuality with peers they are going to explore in unsafe ways & that secrecy, shame, and censorship are what open the door to predators & allow them to normalize unhealthy power dynamics.

Shit like (professed) minors allegedly being on ezra's site is most likely the result of that community being the only thing they could find that treated them as like, humans with autonomy and desire, and that's a pattern that plays out with adult exploitation of teens in-person too (the "you're so mature for your age" routine). Of course teenagers exploring sexuality for the first time fell into a community that told them they weren't bad for being attracted to adults or having sexual desire in the first place! Thing is, an "Adult Attracted Minor" is like, the default state of teenagerdom.

The shit that's actually been demonstrated to help with this isn't carceral whackamoling of bad actors - it's giving teenagers education about healthy relationships and power dynamics and safe sex and yeah, kink, and also giving them the autonomy to make their own decisions about sex. Specifically, you let them know that it's normal to be attracted to adults but that adults trying to date or fuck them are in a position of power that means those relationships can't be healthy. In absence of that, teens are vulnerable to the first adult that appeals to their need to be taken seriously. And for fucks sake, using "minor" to equate teens with young children in these cases makes this tactic easier for abusers to pull off, not harder, because it is self-evident to teens that they have more capacity for autonomy than the average 8 year old. Sure, it makes the people you're targeting in your callout Sound Worse, but it also immediately loses you credibility in the eyes of teenagers themselves.

And for fucks sake, don't let a handful of bad actors using a leftist framing for that old song and dance lead you to believe that's what youth lib is about OR take away focus from all the times the right wing has systemically & institutionally done this.

i get that gore can be fun but the way some of y’all will post/reblog actual corpses on here for “aesthetic” as if that’s not someone’s loved one is fucking disgusting. the internet has rotted some of y’all’s brains so bad that you forget you’re circulating images of an actual fucking dead body, someone who had a life and people who cared about them. imagine if one of your loved ones died tragically and photos of their body were getting passed around the internet. look inward, your humanity is close to gone.

Something happened in the House of Hope...

This is a huge thing that I feel like I have to post here as well.

I recently had the incredible privilege to interview THE Andrew Wincott and ask him all about his work as the Devil we know: Raphael (and Haarlep 🤭) in BG3, voice acting, Shakespeare, travelling, movies, etc. 🥹🎉

This has been a big dream of mine and man, he's just such a lovely guy to talk to and I've already admired him and his talent a whole lot beforehand, but after our 3 hour talk, I absolutely adored him!

The full interview will be uploaded on my YouTube channel soon, so keep an eye out and do subscribe, if you're interested!

▶️🎬 -> LenaKingsleigh 👀

I hope you can soon join us in the House of Hope 🔥

Randomly feeling stabby about someone making you feel like you’re too much to hang out with vs. Being embraced for yourself wholeheartedly

Fearing a doctors appointment but then you find out the doctor is actually the most amazing medical professional you have ever met in your life and he? Actually? Genuinely? Cares???

Is this what it feels like to be high?

Some things, Simon’s Quest again d(^^ ). I drew him a lot the past year god damn. I am never gonna run out of images of this guy, he’s like half my whole camera roll. Also those first three images are still like some of my favorite drawings ever, the vibes fr fr, they still hold up. I need to redraw and make a color version of the main one someday hmmm. And yeah there’s some silly doodles too lol, awkwardly cropped cause Instagram in some of them but eh.

If I had a nickel for every time an artist I admire reblogged a screenshot of my tags on their Rain World art, I'd have 2 nickels...

Appointment went fine. Got everything sorted out & got confirmation that I should be able to graduate in the spring.

I also officially applied to graduate.

Got so overwhelmed by this & my grief over the fact that my dad won't be there for it that I ended up crying in the bathroom over it. 👍 but it's a good thing overall. Just. You Know.
