I was going to leave this in the tags but I have Words

but very much hard agree, op

as someone who has had the experience of being being engaged and then getting married before turning 21, Do Not. there isn't any rush to move ahead with a relationship now that you're an adult, idc what any of your older adult relatives may say ("ohh so when are you getting married" "when are they gonna pop the question" "hinthintnudgenudge so have you bought a right yet?" just stop)

especially if the two of you have been dating since high school. like, seriously, you two have all the time in the world together, don't feel like you don't love them or they don't love you if a proposal doesn't happen

take the time with your person to do things and develop as adults together. traveling (whether short trips to not-quite-local-but-still-a-little-further-than-a-daytrip places, or longer trips abroad, or cruises, or whatever), living together as a couple long term (seriously, in the short term things might run well, but after a year? two? having to pack up all your things together and move them together and unpack everything together? those are things you're not going to experience until after you've been living with someone for a while), having a pet together, traveling separately or to visit family

those are things to think about, but my end point is, people change so much over the years between your late teenage years until your mid-20s. both you and your partner will undergo so many changes over those years, and while it's possible that the two of you might change in a way that still complements the other and live and love together as a great team, it's also possible that (and here is where I speak from experience) one day you'll look at your partner and it'll hit you like "oh... I don't love this person anymore, I don't know who they are"

and while a ring is easier to give back if you have those realisations, a marriage is more difficult to undo, even in countries and states where divorce is relatively easy

so seriously, take your time with your partner, if the two of you are destined to be together forever, then you have all the time in the world

the idea of a 21 year old being engaged is so scary. stay safe dont do that do yourself

THEY FOUND THE WHITE WITCH CATERPILLAR! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

For context: the white witch is one of the contenders for the largest moth in the world (biggest *wingspan*--loses to the atlas in terms of wing surface area, and loses to the regal for weight). It has a huge range, and the adult is fairly common.

But no one had ever seen a caterpillar. At all. There were only guesses as to what it might look like and what it ate. until this year. These are some of the first images ever taken of it!!

pro censorship people are always like “actually I’m living proof that books can be really harmful to kids! when I was a child I read a book that upset me and of course I couldn’t talk to my parents about it because they would throw rocks at me whenever I confessed to reading anything but the Bible, so as you can see, that book was the source of my trauma and warped ideas about right and wrong”

anyway, I love adult content. I love erotic art having a space to exist online. I love seeing people making connections over creativity and shared hog cranking. I don’t love everything everyone is cranking their hogs too but it’s also none of my god damn business. fuck the evangelical rise of censorship. fuck ruining people’s livelihoods.

Reading the new checks that might come in due to the Online Safety Act in the UK and this is actually bullshit

[Image Transcript:

And how will I prove my age?

There’s a number of methods a site or app might use to ask you to confirm your age. They might do this check themselves or use another company to do the check. These methods include:

Facial age estimation – you show your face via photo or video, and technology analyses it to estimate your age. 

Open banking – you give permission for the age-check service to securely access information from your bank about whether you are over 18. The age-check service then confirms this with the site or app.

Digital identity services – these include digital identity wallets, which can securely store and share information which proves your age in a digital format.

Credit card age checks – you provide your credit card details and a payment processor checks if the card is valid. As you must be over 18 to obtain a credit card this shows you are over 18.

Email-based age estimation – you provide your email address, and technology analyses other online services where it has been used – such as banking or utility providers - to estimate your age.  

Mobile network operator age checks – you give your permission for an age-check service to confirm whether or not your mobile phone number has age filters applied to it. If there are no restrictions, this confirms you are over 18. 

Photo-ID matching – this is similar to a check when you show a document. For example, you upload an image of a document that shows your face and age, and an image of yourself at the same time – these are compared to confirm if the document is yours.

Not only is this such a fucking breach of privacy, but this is going to hurt adults in vulnerable and abusive situations. Some adults don’t have bank accounts or credit cards or even a fucking phone. I’m one of them. I could not give half of this information even if I wanted to. What the fuck is this. Fuck the UK government. This isn’t going to protect kids, this is just going to hurt adults, and I know full well when they say “sites that allow pornography” they’re going to be going after sites that have huge amounts of queer content, like tumblr and Ao3. Queer kids are gonna lose their fucking communities because of this shit. Abuse victims are going to lose online support systems because of this.

I’m genuinely fucked off about this, and worried about whether I’m going to lose every single one of my online friends. Anyone in the UK, please email your MP and sign this petition. It needs to reach 100k signatures to pass through Parliament.

I’m only hoping the backlash will be big enough for them to stop implementing these measures.
