Another red flag to remember for scammers is that sometimes for their new blog, instead of trying to make it look like they've been on tumblr for a while by backdating, they'll say they're "new" to tumblr (sometimes mention that they allegedly came from another social media site like twitter or reddit, but then don't give the username) & that they wanted to try their luck on tumblr for fundraising, but then they somehow always know exactly which popular users to mass tag in their posts & they usually tag the same people every time, very often they tag Black users as well

I went on @epickiya722 blog and ranted all about how I think that the womanizer characterisation of Gojo by the fandom does not make sense. The points I gave to why this man can not even be in one relationship were:
Trust issues. Gojo does not trust a lot of people due to being the target of assassination attempt since his birth.
Self isolation. He does not feel like others truly understand him or can relate to him. So, he does not truly give himself the opportunity to be close to anyone.
I could go in more detail but I already saturated, the previous blogger ask and I do not want to trigger a hypefixation that will make me write a 2000 words essay on " Gojo got no hoes: this man has a negative rizz".
Also, I'm new to the fandom, so my interpretation could be lacking a lot of elements from the manga.
What do you think? (This is a bait for you to write a loooooooooooooooooooong answer)
I forgot to add. I don't think that most Jujutsu Sorcerers are in the mental headspace to be in a relationship with all the things they have to deal with. Maybe if it is for politics, as in getting married to someone because of their abilities and how it can be beneficial for your clan.
Well, I wouldn't really say I'm an expert on Gojo, but he's definitely not a womanizer. The only reason this is even such a popular perception of his character is because of some misinterpretation of a comment Gege made before Hidden Inventory started, where they said Gojo wears sunglasses when meeting girls/a girl (Riko). And I guess fans assume because they think Gojo is hot, he must be swimming in pussy. In canon, most people seemed to be turned off by his personality and status though. Yuuta (guy who still runs around with the replica of the girl who made a pinky swear with him in elementary school) even teases him about how ridiculous him having a significant other is. Gege said that at least when they were teenagers, Geto was the more popular one. Can't say I understand that because the guy seemed like an absolute bore and always looked down on the people he considers weak just like Gojo. Gojo was being straight-forward about it and not pretending he's a nicer person than he actually is, which I can respect much more than Geto's slimy attitude.
I agree that a big problem for Gojo is the self-isolation he puts on himself that comes with being considered The Strongest. People might be intimidated, but fundamentally there is nothing keeping him from forming close relationships with others once he knows them better. He sees himself as entirely removed from others and not even having/being the same existence.
He is the one who put himself up there and who thinks that only someone on a similar pedestal like Sukuna or previously Geto could understand him because he considers them separate from other humans and closer to himself. The label "The Strongest" is a necessity for him to think he could ever form a truly equal relationship with someone. That way he is very similar to Kashimo and Yorozu, also people who tried to teach Sukuna about love and desperately tried to relate to him because they thought he was the only person who could understand them (he doesn't and he isn't) and that way they only managed to close themselves off to people who could've actually helped them.
Vulnerability also plays into it to an extent because it's no coincidence that Gojo has his Limitless on almost constantly. The thing is, to form a real personal bond with others and have a close relationship with them, he needs to make himself vulnerable and also step down from the pedestal he put himself on to meet them at eye-level. You see that very well with how Takaba and Kenjaku's fight ended. Kenjaku also used to separate themselves from others for safety reasons, suspicion and just general habit. They craved friendship, but had trouble forming the truly equal relationship friendship requires for them. In the end, Kenjaku allowed themselves to fully engage with and get involved with Takaba and that vulnerability led to their death, but it also made them happy and as they said, was one of the best moments in their long life because it fulfilled the base wish/desire that was behind all the wild experiments and merging of people and curses and whatnot.
You could say Gojo is similar and had a similar death in that he was made vulnerable, but it wasn't so much that he stepped down from his pedestal to connect with the people who were already trying to reach him and cared about him, instead he made himself vulnerable by antagonizing someone who also stands on a different pedestal. He doesn't lower his guard, he seeks out someone who could overcome it by force. Unfortunately, that person doesn't actually care about him. If he had tried to connect more with the people already next to him, he might've been happier or more emotionally fulfilled, even if that means he would have to give up his strength or lower his defence. Instead of making children into weapons in hopes of some of them also climbing on that pedestal, he could've left his. There is pressure for him to be in that high position, no question, but he is the one who separates his existence and status as a living being from others. He would've needed to unlearn that thinking first.
All in all, the last thing you said in the second ask is most important. Sorcerers, especially the ones at Jujutsu Tech, generally just don't have romantic relationships or close relationships in general. Not the type the "womanizer Gojo" people are thinking about at least. Gege avoids talking about couples, but the only sorcerers who might be in a relationship are Kirara and Hakari and they aren't part of Jujutsu Tech anymore. Yaga is divorced and we don't know anything about the others except that most of them are very lonely and depressed. Some sorcerers, particularly those in the big clans, are married, but they don't seem that happy. Maki's parents don't look like they love each other or have any joy in their life really. So if we go by canon, no sorcerer is in a committed and/or loving relationship as far as we know (like I said even Hakari & Kirara are up in the air), which makes sense because most of them will soon die anyway. Maybe some of them have sex on the side, but probably more as coping mechanism. With how hung-up Gojo is on Geto aka the closest relationship he had in his life, I don't see Gojo being one of them. Not saying he's crying into his pillow 24/7, but getting close enough for sex with others seems difficult. Plus, ideally the other person also has to like him enough to agree to do it with him and finding someone like that isn't easy either.
tldr: I agree "Gojo got no hoes: this man has negative rizz"

(making my own post after being in someones replies again lol) i do think there was kind of a Moment on tumblr in i wanna say circa 2019-2021 where a lot of the accumulated biphobia that was present in the lgbt community at large and in particular on tumblr sort of blew up into a number of bi bloggers starting to talk a lot more on the subject and make a lot of posts explaining the material consequences of biphobia, the lack of support bisexuals have always gotten from the rest of the community, the specific biphobic opinions/takes that are popular both offline and in online communities, and also a lot of conversations about bisexuality, what its like to be bisexual, what it means to us, a ton of education on bisexual history, a lot of trans and nonbinary bisexuals talking about how bisexuality interacts w our genders, etc. at the time and being involved in all of this tangentially it felt a bit like a sort of tumblr bisexual renaissance where the pot finally boiled over and a ton of us started to be really loud and in your face about bisexuality and biphobia. i think this was a major reason for why a lot of takes that had previously been very widespread and either accepted or at least treated as debatable (thinking about butch/femme discourse for example) got rolled back and a lot of people who had been very casually biphobic all over the place suddenly changed their tune, switched their public opinions, and started sharing a lot more of support for bisexuals (though, tbh, i dont think i have seen literally one apology for past biphobia).
i do think there was some discourse that went a bit too far and ended up counterproductive (ive personally rolled back a lot of my past anger about the pansexuality vs bisexuality shit into a view that i think is a lot more charitable and community-oriented), but overall bisexuals on here did a lot of work to get heard, get understood, and get some much-needed support by the rest of the lgbt community, and there were also a lot of behind the scenes conversations where bi people created spaces like very active discord servers where bisexuality was explored in-depth among bisexuals, which tbh i largely credit for me being able to comfortably identify as bigender.
but, well, this Moment of bisexuals being loud and proud about bisexuality and refusing to continue to tolerate biphobia was met with, like, extremely caustic and vicious backlash which has led SO many bi bloggers who i followed, knew, was in servers and dms with, was/am friends with etc to either quit tumblr or move to new blogs where they only keep around vetted people and no longer widely engage w the topic of biphobia. my alter ran one of those blogs which i dont think could have really been qualified as popular, but which had a ton of constant interaction and some really big posts, all of which led to daily biphobic harassment as well as scrutiny of every other part of his identity and repeated cruelty about things that it was incredibly inappropriate for people to attack him on - some of you who followed him will recall the repeated attacks and accusations of ableism for his 'weird' typing style, despite a disclaimer on his blog that he types like this bc of autism+adhd+did, as well as a lot of vitriol and aggression which i think was at least partially racially motivated. like, im not even willing to disclose the url or his name here because im STILL paranoid about getting harassed years after he deactivated, which, like many others i know, he did because the constant biphobia was so bad for his mental health that the blog even just continuing to exist was not sustainable.
im not sure to what degree the conversations that were started on here during this time are continuing - im not seeing much of it anymore, but then again maybe im just not following the people having them - but it certainly feels like that Moment has died down now, though i certainly still feel the aftereffects in how a lot of people have changed their stances on bisexuality. it does feel like an acute loss still that so many bi people were effectively shut down and harassed off tumblr or into silence and reclusiveness by the backlash to bisexuals speaking out (and this especially imo affected bisexuals of color, especially black bisexuals, as per usual on tumblr). i miss the posts i would get to read daily as well as the very active discord servers and other conversations i got to be privy to at the time. i think this, as much as the discussions on biphobia themselves, rendered very explicit the degree of biphobia thats present within the lgbt community. as soon as a number of bisexuals got fed up with it and started to talk about it openly, the open and unashamed biphobia also ramped up.
ig the thing im stuck on is - were not talking about it as much, but all the people who dedicated themselves to harassing bisexuals into silence for years are still here. some stances have been changed and a lot of performative "we love bisexuals!" posts got shared but ultimately the work is still cut out for us going forward. however, i dont think i or my alter will be doing any of that work on tumblr in the future. the focus will have to be on real-life community to spare ourselves the backlash that comes from speaking about this on here.
idk, not sure how to end this whole tirade. i just happened to be thinking about all this earlier today and a mutual brought it up again just now so its on my mind. i do still miss that sense of heightened bisexual community that came from all of this. i personally not only was able to re-identify as bisexual after identifying as gay for a few years bc these conversations led me to reevaluate my sexuality in a more accepting light, but also i unlearned a ton of internalized biphobia which i had not only tolerated but often strongly believed myself, usually with a sort of self-flagellating notion of "i have to bow down to the rest of the community and accept that my opinion is inherently lesser because bisexuality is an inferior sexuality" which i only stopped believing after being in these bisexual communities. ig i just have to be content with the circle of bi friends ive built both online and offline and what benefits ive gained from these discussions.
#97#long post#and tbqh i can still think of some specific popular bloggers who were super biphobic before this and suddenly changed their tune#and who ngl i have not forgiven! most of them i still have blocked despite their 180 turn into 'bisexual positivity' posting.#primarily bc of the aforementioned 'no acknowledgment of past biphobia was ever there just silently deleting old posts and changing dnis'

tumblr is the only corporate social im willing to use at this point, purely because of how vastly different it is from its contemporaries, structurally and culturally, but they're very clearly doing something that is quickly turning me away. for lack of less sensitive term, staff is practically gentrifying the platform. (forcing shit from other socials that tumblrs lack of were the only reason i still used it)
given i use spacehey daily, im sure youre already aware that im not a big fan of the contemporary concept of the "social media". i wont go on my whole pedantic/esoteric rant about distinguishing the definition of a social media and a social network because thats a whole other essay for another time and its not worth the argument given im already trying to discuss something else at the moment. (ive literally written a research paper about this because i seriously am that obnoxious about the subject)
so; one of the most substantial changes that happened to social websites in general over the past 2 decades was the introduction of algorithmic feeds. for those unaware, tumblr is in fact the very last major social platform that still doesnt operate (primarily) off of algorithmic content, and this is direly important to the continued use it receives from older bloggers. the majority of people who regularly use tumblr today and have for years are still here because it is the last bastion of chronological dashboards. this also plays a huge role in why theres such a dramatically different atmosphere on tumblr compared to other platforms.
reblogs are literally the only way that things can "go viral". posts do not ever spread if people dont actively decide "i want to share this with my friends" and hit the reblog button, as well if their friends dont think the same. whats especially important is that this system is entirely end-viewer-oriented; it does not particularly favor reactionary content like an algorithm does. on a platform like twitter, any kind of engagement at all (replies, likes, qrts, etc) will be taken by the algorithm as an indication that the post is likely to resonate with people in some way, regardless of whether the post in question is receiving positive or negative engagement, and regardless of whether or not it is thoughtful or warrants that- not to mention how this problem is even further exacerbated by the character limits on microblogging social media platforms like twitter.
so people love tumblr for the fact that posts that you wouldnt share with your friends simply will not garner any popularity most of the time. this fosters a far more unique and interesting community and types of viral content, but youll notice that a little while ago, tumblr quietly added the "for you" page. realistically, nobody who actually has used tumblr since before that tab was added would ever even touch it because it is a spit in the face of what makes people love the platform. but they they knew most people dont vocally give a shit like i do.
the first problem arises when you consider that new users from places like tiktok and twitter will naturally assume the tab was always there and likely use it as their primary means of discovery. they wont learn or understand the way that the proper system tumblr uses of follows and reblogs actually works, which is steadily creating an enormous and frankly insurmountable divide between new and old users of the platform. its already fostering the kinds of passive interaction from people who dont understand tumblr's mechanics that is honestly genuinely harmful to the community overall. people misusing the tools that the platform has due to not understanding their function or assuming similarity to things they already know from other platforms. honestly, this in itself would not even be that much of an issue because we could simply ignore the new users who refuse to make the effort to understand how to use the app and fall for the advertising trap that is the for you page...
but the problem is getting way bigger as tumblr is slowly but surely pushing the "for you" page onto other dashboards. youll see posts with a little "based on your likes" banner at the top crop up more and more. theyre quite literally trying to subtly force an algorithm into place where there wasnt one before. (ive been made aware you actually can turn this off from within an entirely seperate settings menu from the regular one that you open on the notifications screen for some reason?? the fact that i didnt even know this after using tumblr for this long is wild, but it doesnt invalidate my argument in that they turned it on automatically without asking or telling users) its not egregious enough to make me leave yet but its definitely been happening more and more frequently to the point that i am seriously doubting if i should consider continuing to use the website/app. this is the biggest structural issue, but its not the only example of what im talking about where tumblr is trying to pretend to be like other contemporary social medias in order to lure in new users without teaching them how things work so that they can use them as advertising guinea pigs.
another example would be the abrupt and frankly pointless introduction of tumblr live, which is entirely unnecessary and has received near unanimous criticism from older users. but a bigger one is something that a lot of people, especially newer users, mobile only users, or those straight other platforms have probably not even noticed- the completely silent removal of subdomain urls. (which is why people here call usernames urls in the first place) this one is way more apparent of an issue as far as my questionable use of the term 'gentrification' goes.
if i asked you the question "what is tumblr?" what would you say? more than likely, you would answer that its a social media- and to be clear, you would certainly not be incorrect in that assessment, but thats not the important part. as far as i can see, thats the first thing that comes to mind when they think of what tumblr "is" in its contemporary state. but if i asked somebody that a decade ago, they would likely give a completely different answer; they would say its a "blogging site". that's because fundamentally, that's what tumblr actually is and is supposed to be. a social blogging host platform. the dashboard and tumblr.com screen was always only half of it as far as the functionality went.
everyone used to have a personal website for their blogs, and people would often hook their tumblr blog up with its own custom domain as well. tumblr was first and foremost simply a blogging platform with social elements. while that subdomain (personal website) functionality does still exist, and you can see it on my blog because i customized my blog's css themes, they actually completely silently added a switch that gets rid of it, and they automatically turned it off for anyone that hadnt fully configured that page already which slowly consolidates everybody towards the exact same uniform tumblr-blog style like what you see on the mobile site. it forces a uniform visual aesthetic and functionality, which is one of the things i hate the most. in the first place, the enormous number of people who hadnt set up their page properly is largely because tumblr has for a few years now actively discouraged, hidden, or obfuscated the 'personal website' aspect of the service for whatever reason they may have using a method ill get into in a moment. it may be because they thought it was too convoluted for newer internet users who dont understand, or it may have been a more calculated effort to abandon older infrastructure and replace it with replicas of more contemporary systems like are used in other social medias, but it doesnt make a difference to me.
blogging is all about self-expression, and restricting that defeats the point so fucking hard. on the mobile app, my page will look something like this.
though this screenshot is taken on desktop. the url here is "https://www.tumblr.com/virtueisdead". this is an entirely separate and pretty recently added functionality called the profile view, which is entirely different from how the website used to operate, which is demonstrated for clearly by the fact that this is not what my blog is actually supposed to look like. in fact, you cant even see what blogs are supposed to look like on the mobile app at all. if you open your browser and go to my actual blog url, "https://virtueisdead.tumblr.com/", you can see the intended design, which is very similar to my spacehey profile.
im honestly not unconvinced that they intend to eventually completely distinguish the old blogging system (akin to wordpress and blogger) from the social media aspect of the site entirely, though thats more of a crack theory. the fact remains that they began to silently get rid of people's actual blog pages, slowly forcing uniformity with the mobile app. (this is less important, but another part of that that drives me up the fucking wall is that i cant even use the tumblr website in my main browser anymore. they made it so it only works in certain browsers, and im sure i dont need to explain why that is absolutely insufferable behavior)
tumblr is absolutely trying to mimic other social media platforms like tiktok and twitter in order to attract users from them or give them a more 'familiar experience' and its absolutely a detriment to the experience for people who use tumblr specifically because it isnt like other corporate social platforms. this is a separate gripe, but...
ive said before and will say again, twitter users should not look for an alternative to twitter, they should just stop fucking using it. thats like going from smoking a cigarette brand that uses slave labor to one that doesnt. youre a more ethical person but youre still giving yourself lung cancer.

hi! i'm doing a presentation on the impact and community of tumblr for my media studies final and i wanted to reach out to my mutuals and fav blogs with some questions that relate to my topic. i would so totally love and appreciate if you could answer some of these for me.
it would be so totally rock and roll and awesome and amazing and i'll literally love you forever and ever and ever! :)
thank you thank you thank you!!!!
the questions:
1. how is tumblr different from other social media platforms?
2. how has the tumblr community affected you as a person/online presence?
3. do you feel more inclined to post more personal or private aspects of your life and or opinions on tumblr rather than other apps? as in do you feel you are less likely to be judged on tumblr than other platforms?
4. what are your favorite aspects of tumblr?
5. what would you do if tumblr got shut down?
6. what are some things that only tumblr bloggers would know/understand?
or
7. are there certain traditions on tumblr that you think other media sites wouldn't understand?(an example being our site wide celebration of the ides of march)
8. what are some of the largest fandoms/inner communities on tumblr? are you apart of these fandoms/communities? if yes, what is that like for you?
9. do you find tumblr to be educational in terms of academics? among other things such as politics and general life experiences?
10. all in all, how has this app changed your perspective on social media, the world, your life, and so on.
please add anything else you find to be important!!
aww im honored!
To be truthful, I don't spend much time on any other social media, so I don't have much experience! But in comparison with insta and pinterest, there's far less reason to use the for you tab. Obviously staff has pushed it in recent updates, but it still holds true, at least for me. I think a big draw for me is the built-in customization in general, with tools for making personal blog themes and post tools.
Since I don't use anything but Tumblr, It can be a little hard to connect with my peers who use Twitter or Snapchat, as we don't really have many other ways to connect outside of e-mail or text, which I think have fallen off in popularity with the rise of social media.
I think Tumblr satisfies my parasocial needs pretty well! I think because of the customization you can accumulate a following that's pretty chill. And if there are weirdos, you can block them very easily.
I've prattled on and on about about how cool customizing most aspects of your experience here is, but to reassert my love for it: When customization goes; I go.
While I have some experience with HTML, I might not make my own website on Neocities or a similar platform. I would probably make a Pintrest again. But if they make it so you can register an e-mail to a Neocities domain I'd be down.
I think Tumblr users like to self-aggrandize so I think most of our traditions and mechanics could be understood by other platform's users... Though maybe a lack of algorithms? I hear a lot of people talking about for you pages on other social media. But again, Tumblr's pushed the for you tab instead of the dash, so I'm not sure that's going to be a distinction for much longer...
8. I don't participate in fandom so I wouldn't know! That's not to say that I don't ever see anything from fandom, but really I'm not sure if I'm missing out on anything. I'm content with the content I do see. I guess you could say I'm part of the "My friends" fandom ^-^.
9. While there's plenty of academic discussion on Tumblr, I don't think there's a replacement to more genuine methods of education. However, there have been things I've been informed of through Tumblr, such as posts summarizing and linking news articles, scientific journals, etc. and methods of accessing them (such as 12ft). In that regard, I suppose that Tumblr has been a fine source of education and keeping up-to-date, though it's far from perfect.
10. I think being able to curate my experience has helped make me less tolerant of ads, weird posts, and other distractions. But I think the greatest impact it's had on me has been all the friends I've made.

if i had to guess the reasoning would be:
1. asks used to be the only way to message someone on here (there was fanmail but it was weird? did anybody use that? or did i dream that up). we eventually got private messaging but only in the last 3-5 years did it become functional enough that people used it regularly. asks started as just communicating about stuff, whether with a popular blog or just someone with similar interests. and since they are public (unless you answered privately), people can reblog them and the behavior was passed around. nowadays with private messaging, unless a blog is popular and you don’t know them very well/are asking a question you’d like the answer to be public, or they have specific settings for messaging them that prevent you from asking privately, there isn’t as much of a use for asks, except for anons, which brings me to…
2. as other social platforms have either died or demanded we be more public about ourselves, tumblr has become even more of an anonymous and “private” place, where you don’t have to share and can have some persona or URL on here unconnected to anything. which means the anon feature also isn’t as necessary - you’re already sort of anonymous, even more so than before. (unless you’re using it to sending hate). there are also not many big name bloggers on here anymore, and there isn’t really a “creator” culture here where people would want to do an AMA for someone. you’re here for the content, and your mutuals.
3. we are also still in the early stages of social media existing at all, but now we’re in a sort of second phase where MOST PEOPLE have been online for at least some time and are used to receiving weird comments or messages. less people probably have their ask box open than before on purpose.
4. related to there not being a big creator culture here, the feeling of difference between a private message and an ask is that an ask is something that can be answered later, whenever, and is somewhat less personal. a PM is like a text, an IG DM, and more like any other regular “private” online conversation. and there are less and less reasons to send an “ask” because you have your mutuals and not really any creators, so what purpose does it serve?
5. a lot of the tumblr userbase is new to the platform and does not have that cultural history of asks to fall on so it’s just not in how they use the site anymore
You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.
By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.
I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

Single Dad Praised for Cutting Off Family After They Laughed at His Child - Journal Global Internet https://www.merchant-business.com/single-dad-praised-for-cutting-off-family-after-they-laughed-at-his-child/?feed_id=207334&_unique_id=66ef156a21f1f #GLOBAL - BLOGGER BLOGGER An outraged single dad has turned to the internet for support after a dispute with his parents over his child, with his Reddit post racking up 23,000 upvotes in less than 24 hours.He states his boomer parents in their sixties visited on the weekend and watched his 10-year-old daughter play the keyboard. However, her performance didn’t get the reaction she may have hoped for.“It wasn’t perfect, few missed notes, [and] a couple pauses, but she did really well. She looked up at the end [with a] massive smile, and I started clapping and my parents started f****** laughing,” he wrote, and emphasized how it was a “belly laugh.”More From Newsweek Vault: Online Banks vs. Traditional Banks: Learn the Differences A stock image of a man kissing his upset daughter. The way a man handled an awkward situation with his parents has been praised by thousands of Reddit users.LittleBee80/iStock/Getty Images PlusThe grandma then asked if that was the first time playing and the granddad suggested the dog could have played better.“It was like my daughter was shrinking on the spot and she looked down and said ‘no, I’ve had [two] lessons but doing it with [two] hands is hard’ and they just laughed even f****** harder,” he wrote.“I just stood up, took their cups and said leave. Now. My mom tried to say about how they hadn’t finished their drinks, they wanted to hear another song etc and I said ‘get your stuff and get the f*** out of my house right now,'” he added.More From Newsweek Vault: Rates Are Still High for These High-Yield Savings AccountsDuring the commotion, the parents suggested they are preparing their grandchild for the “real world.”But the dad wrote: “I sat with my daughter and explained how proud of her I was and how well she was doing. To ignore them. They were just being cruel because they don’t know any other way to be and asked if she could please play it again, which she did.”More From Newsweek Vault: Learn About the Best High-Yield Checking AccountsHe concludes the post by stating his sister has sided with the parents, whom he messaged to say he is taking a break from.Google News ‘We Need To Empower Our Children’Newsweek discussed the popular post with Dr. Emily Levy, the founder and director of EBL Coaching, a one-on-one tutoring company for students with special education needs.New York-based Levy said: “In working with children, I am a big believer in using tools and strategies to boost their confidence. Positive self-confidence is a key element of success in school and life. Laughing at a child can crush their self-confidence. It can make them feel worthless, sad and incapable. Instead, we need to empower our children with positive remarks about small successes, remind them of their strengths, and let them know that we all have strengths and weaknesses.”Google News Reddit ReactsSo far, the post has 3,500 comments from many furious users.One comment said: “Who laughs in a 10 year olds face when they are just starting to learn a new skill? Their actions were out of line and uncalled for. Protect your daughter. Keep those horrible people far away from her.”“NTA! You stood up against bullying—your daughter needs that kind of support,” wrote another.A third commenter said: “I just wanna point out that, in the real world, in no way would it be acceptable to act like they did. Just open-mouth laughing at a performance? Especially a performance by someone you love? What adult f****** does that?

I have realized just how bad, I am at being on my own. Not at being single but physically alone. I used to enjoy spending time alone, but now it feels uncomfortable. To be fair I have felt this way in a while, but it is a lot easier to ignore when dating. Specially since my closest friends and I live far from each other, and we get to see each other a couple of times a year. R lives the closest to me, so we see each other fairly often. The problem with spending time alone is, that you are left alone with your thoughts. If there is one thing, I excell in, it is spiralling. I keep telling myself, that my thoughts are just thoughts. Thoughts and reality are two different things. The worst part is, that some of my thoughts are rooted in fear of, what others might be thinking about me. I often worry about my social life. A while back I worried a lot about making new friends. So much that I joined this Facebook group originally created by a popular blogger. It is exclusively for women, and I appreciate that. I met up with a couple of girls from there, and while they were nice enough, we just didn't click. Which for some time had me thinking, that maybe there was something wrong with me in particular. I know that is not the case, but it's so easy to blame yourself. Now I think my problem isn't necessarily, that I lack friends. Don't get me wrong, I would love to make new ones. But I think it is more about me missing the friends, I do have immensely. Another thing is that after getting better, I realized that I am a lot more sociable, than I thought. This is typically where I start to seriously spiral. Because the next thing to pop into my head is usually the question of my ability to find a partner. I have not had a boyfriend since, I was a teen. I feel embarrassed admitting this; it does not matter that it is in writing, and no one on here will see or care much about it. But it usually comes up on dates, and I feel uncomfortable telling a guy, I barely know. I fear that if things go well, they might feel some kind of responsibility. Like they have to teach me how to be in a relationship. Which would in turn make me feel like a child. But it is not exactly like, it is something I have had to worry about with the guys, I have dated. With J I felt kind of blindsided, because while I thought, we were getting serious, that was definitely not his impression. There were signs, that I overlooked. We should have had a talk early on. Instead it ended up going on for six months. I think, I would have handled it a lot different today. He was looking for some kind of manic pixie dream girl, and what he got was a mentally ill woman. I joke about this a lot, but I honestly believe that my state of mind played a big role. I mean in the sense, that not only was my selfworth non-existent, but I was ill enough that not being treated properly was easier to deal with than my symptoms. When you kind of want to die, a guy being an ass isn't exactly a big deal. With L things were different, because I have grown so much since J. It is not, that I was not insecure at any point. I liked him enough for a while, that I worried about anything he said or did. But when that died down, and I realized, that whatever his thoughts might be, I did not want a relationship. It just made it a whole lot easier, that we agreed. So what is it, that I worry so much about it. Well, it is pretty simple. I have not had much luck in love, that did not matter. I does now though. I sometimes catch myself thinking, that maybe I am unlovable. That there is something inheretably wrong with me. It may not be true, sometimes I feel like it might as well be. There is an element of imposter syndrom too. When they start telling me, that I am pretty or funny or intelligent, all I can think is, that at some point they will realize, that I am not any of those things. Maybe I just like to punish myself. If I assume from the start, that things won't work out, I can avoid being hurt. How to end up hurt anyway for dummies. I deserve good things. I really do.

Hair Botox - Find a Salon Near You
When it comes to smoothing out frizzy strands, there's a new kid in town called hair Botox. And it's making a big impression on beauty bloggers and salon-goers everywhere. The treatment is similar to how actual Botox smooths out fine lines and wrinkles, except there's no needles involved, and it targets the hair strands themselves rather than the scalp. In fact, the entire process is fairly simple and completely painless.
It works by sealing in moisture and nourishing ingredients, which helps to iron out any frizz and restore your locks to their former glory. The most popular ingredient is keratin, but hair Botox can also contain other vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E, caviar oil, collagen complex, and antioxidants, according to Cosmetic Dermatologist Michele Green, M.D.
Your stylist will start the process by washing your hair with a special shampoo to prep the strands and encourage them to absorb the treatment. Then, they'll apply the product and wait for anywhere between 20 to 90 minutes. After that, they'll rinse it out, dry your hair, and straighten it using a flat iron. Some stylists will even choose to leave the product on while they're blow-drying and straightening in order to help it penetrate the strands more thoroughly.
Once the strands are completely dried, they'll be ready to show off. The result is a sleek, shiny head of hair that's tangle-free and super smooth. Botox hair treatment near me lasts for up to a few months, which makes it ideal for people who suffer from dry, damaged hair, or have to deal with hot and humid weather. And unlike other straightening treatments like a Brazilian blowout, which can contain formaldehyde, hair Botox is 100% vegan and doesn't permanently change the texture of your strands.
While the results of this treatment are amazing, it's important to know how often you should get a hair Botox treatment done. "I don't recommend getting it more than every two to three months as it can over-process the hair," pro stylist Kayla Ciambrone tells Women's Health. It's also best to avoid it if you recently had your hair permed or colored, and you should always wait at least 72 hours between treatments.
In addition, it's important to stay away from heat tools after your appointment if you want the results to last as long as possible. If you do have to use a heated tool, it's a good idea to invest in a heat-protection serum. And, if you're prone to allergic reactions, you might want to talk with your dermatologist before booking an appointment for hair Botox.
