Childhood is not defined by boobs and a period. It’s about your intellectual and emotional quotient. Your reasoning ability. Your prefrontal cortex isn’t fully developed until 25! You can be 9 and look 14 (b/c hormones in food) but that doesn’t mean it’s okay for a 40 year old man to abuse you

Right now, as ICE tears through communities - ice has lost thousands of children where do you think that they are ending up? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Has primacy in the minds of the American public because there is nothing that moves the American public more than a story of a little white girl being molested. For every Virginia Guiffree, there's thousands of "Cherries" www.marymurphyofficial.com/post/the-two...

We should all be way more confidant in ourselves and our ability to change the world. You just need kindness, you just need the want of something better for people and not just yourself. We all have what we need to do this already, we dont need to wait to be more prepared.

That would tear apart every family in america... It would because alot of the pdfiles be the grandmas, grandpas , aunts, uncles, dads and moms and cousins. Its very prominent

honestly we need a "me too" style movement for specifically incidences of CSA. even just the "small stuff". i need people to understand the prevalence of these issues.

But never forget that it is a power thing, forcing yourself on someone who can’t do anything back. That’s why they pick CHILDREN. They are getting off on the sick /reality/ that they have control over another human being with little agency in the situation. It is vile and not taken seriously enough.

The whole infantilization of women and girls being more “”mature”” thing is a fucking mess and it all just helps powerful men continue to be horrible. (And don’t get me started on how facing consequences depends largely on the color of their skin.)

What I'm getting from the last 6 hours is a lot of you are ok with CSA, and not ok with gay sex.

now consider Brittney Spears' entire early career. The Dan Schneider shows. And Other Things I Apparently Can't Bring Attention To Without Being Called Slurs

this culture also hasn't stopped. like at all. tiktok is rife with it, among other places

I got piled on for saying something like this the other day. Maybe if a man says it, people will listen?

also new header/icons for socials/website stuff

If none of this invokes immediate and dire consequences, it all just becomes acceptable.

Shut up about a blowjob, the only reason it works as compromat is that y'all treat it as more scandalous than the trafficking and rape of children

16 yo me: the united states is structured around child abuse Psychiatrist: wow maybe u need more meds Reality: the united states is structured around child abuse

it is a difficult time to be a CSA/grooming survivor on the net right now so i encourage you to think a little carefully about how you talk about certain topics re: current events. it is beyond disheartening to watch society at large disparage what happens to so many of us with so little justice

calling yourself a feminist/body positive/whatever else but then using misogynistic/fatphobic/otherwise bigoted insults against The Bad People is indicative that you have not unpacked your internal prejudices as much as you think you have

Women’s status is eroding rapidly and dramatically—in employment, in culture, and in the law. But that is not considered important news; what’s considered important news is men’s aggrieved feelings about how we’re not being forced back into the kitchen fast enough.

Kind of crazy that evidence is mounting that the world is run by a group of rapists, pedophiles, and men convinced of women’s inmate natural inferiority, and the pundit class is trying to convince us that the real social crisis is that men are victimized and lonely because women have too many jobs.

"jailbait" was alive and well in my childhood too, as well as "pedobear" "jokes" about kidnapping young girls from animation conventions

I want people to understand that in my youth, a youth that happened somewhere between the youth of Epstein, Trump, Maxwell, ex-Prince Andrew, et al & that of their victims, the term "jail bait" was framed as a compliment.

the aversion and hostility to critically discussing media in basically all facets of culture rn, across political spectrums, countries and generations is /really/ crazy to me tbh

I'm on a big documentary kick right now and smth that kind of bums me out is how a specific type of true crime documentary (very hyper-sensationalized and often disrespectful to the victims) is the only kind that gets put on streaming platforms nowadays

💫Your 5 dreams as a content creator💫 🦇 get back on a regular monthly YT vid schedule OTL 🦇 finish my indie game (NQB8) 🦇 finish Nocturne (at least the pilot) 🦇 lil nendos or pop-up parades of my characters one day 🦇 be able to work on my own stuff full time (vids, game, etc.)

i know in light of the BS going on in the US rn this probably sounds stupid but I really wish therapy was accessible to everyone. Pretty much everyone in this world would benefit and I am grateful every day that I have the ability to access it now as an adult

This is the future leftists want

I am going to visit Australia next month ~_~ Never in a million years when I was a kid did I think I'd get to travel to foreign countries, let alone live in one LOL

what will you play today? ✨💜

sometimes all i can think about is how if i was a billionaire, i'd probably live the exact same way i do now and just make the stuff i wanna make full time. and pay others to help me make the things i wanna make. and donate the excess lskfhsfldkh

"who radicalized you" Nothing radicalized me, I was born with basic empathy. The world decided that was radical.

been working on updating my personal site/port site/gallery and there is nothing more frustrating than being an art professional where 99% of the artwork you've made in the year is NDA and can't be posted publicly

Triple Baka! ♥️💙💛

also: i am no longer sick so i can finally record the video this week i planned on recording last week at this time sldfhkfsd i'm trying to get back on my vid schedule but life just keeps comin' (and it don't stop comin')

I used to think that parasocial was a term that only applied to ppl having weird hangups with celebrities/YouTube personalities, but I genuinely think many ppl have parasocial relationships w media they consume. It is so bizarre how freaked out ppl get when you even mildly criticize smth they like

ethan and i started playing silent hill f and while i like lots of parts of it so far... wtaf was the scarecrow puzzle SDFLKHSFDLHKDF how did that get past any QA testing

Telling kids they have infinite potential growing up but also saying that power goes away as soon as they become adults or get their dream career is an ill-thought out message that pops up way too often in kid's anime and manga, esp. when it's tied to the literal life another being.

me: all prepped and ready to record stuff yesterday also me: gets a flu that destroys my voice both today and yesterday cruel universe :'^)

Stop doomscrolling and just learn something. Learn to fix things, learn a skill, there are so many free resources. Start writing, start drawing, who cares if it sucks just do something, do anything. You will feel so much better.

Food banks are about to need extra help with SNAP benefits on hold! High demand items are typically canned meats, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese, chicken noodle soup, etc but if you look up your local orgs online they will likely have lists of what they need most!

Hypnospace is one of my fav games of the last decade and I highly recommend giving it a shot if you haven't already, esp at this steep discount. You really won't regret it

pretty excited about my upcoming YT video because I'm yapping passionately about a game nobody cares about sdlfkhsflh I think that is my favorite part of YT. I can just talk about the random fun facts/lore of obscure games/cartoons/internet stuff instead of just telling it to my partner randomly

lately I've been thinking about like, what would it take for people to change the current social media landscape, or replace it all together? overwhelmingly people from all corners of my life, IRL and online, have been expressing their distaste with social media in the last few yrs

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

coming from being poor in the US to a country with universal healthcare is always interesting/awkward when I have to explain that for the majority of my life I had limited or no access to healthcare of any kind and so I don't have a lot of medical records/knowledge of my medical history sfdlkhsfd

Gotta go get my hair redone soon but I can't decide on what colors I wanna do... rainbow was fun but I feel like I have the Whole World open to choose from you know... choice paralysis o-|-<

Some old advice about starting big projects (game translation projects in my case, but a lot of it is probably universal) #gametranslation
