some more good replies from the notes

Gotta admit I was looking for brushstrokes on some of them. Like, most of them are obviously well positioned photos, but some of them you just have to take a long look at.

And sometimes you're still not sure.

What's your Sukuna mood today?

as someone who uses they/them pronouns and works with children, never let anyone tell you that you can't or shouldn't teach children about pronouns and gender diversity. It's possible, it's easier than you'd think, and it's beautiful

highlights from this summer at camp, where I work as a program staff member:

-I come out of my cabin dressed in a button-up and a tie for our weekly fancy dinner. Eight-year-old boy A sees me and says "she looks nice!" Eight-year-old boy B cries out at the top of his lungs, "IT'S A THEY!"

-A very young girl I'd never spoken to approaches me at checkout, hands me what appears to be a piece of abstract origami, and walks away. I unfold one of the flaps to find "peace love pride gay" written inside

-Nonbinary campers are increasingly out and visible, and they notice me (our camp director now mentions me and our other nonbinary staff member when parents call with concerns about their nonbinary kids attending camp). One spends an entire programming hour glued to my side, talking emphatically about their favorite anime while we walk down the beach together. They later present me with a nonbinary flag friendship bracelet. They're eleven.

-Ten-year-old boy who typically has a great deal of difficulty controlling his impulses and responding appropriately to his emotions asks me suddenly over dinner whether I'm a boy or a girl. I thank him for asking me and tell him I'm not either. He responds, ever-so-chipper, "well, (camp name), I like you just the way you are!"

-Yet another rowdy ten-year-old boy, at the end of his second session at camp of the summer, tells me unprompted at dinner, "you know, (camp name), I'm really glad I came to camp, because you're the first they/them person I've met. I'm sorry if I get it wrong sometimes."

My 8 year old met a non-binary person at camp a couple of weeks ago (another child) and when I picked him up, I asked if he made any new friends and he said, “Yes, Nathan who is a boy and Ari who is neither a boy or a girl.” 

It was said with such certainty and when he mentioned Ari later, he referred to them as a “she” and then stopped and said, “wait, Ari uses they/them so they said...” He’s 8. Kids can absolutely learn this and have fewer problems with it than grown ups often do.

But that's just the thing. It has never been about "not confusing kids." The entire purpose of "keep anything that's not 100% cishet away from children" is to prevent children from understanding.

They know good and goddamn well little Susie isn't going to bat an eye when you tell her Ralph is now Jessica. They know Bobby can totally incorporate the existence of Queer people into his worldview-- he's incorporating much more complex shit on a daily basis. And that is what they are upset about.

happy woozi day!!

This is absolutely beautiful.

Now that Britney Spears is free, she’s inevitably going to do something weird and off-putting because she was in a long term traumatic situation with very little control of her life and getting your shit together is hard in the best of times and that does shit to a person and I’m genuinely afraid the public who has been rooting for her for so long is going to turn on her and even start questioning whether or not it’s good for her to be free of the conservatorship and people are gonna need to remember that the answer to that question is unequivocally yes

Also yes it’s very probable that she will do some weird shit that is 100% definitively exhibiting symptoms of trauma & repression, but also mental illness and/or developmental disability. She may very well be, stay, and act “crazy.” And that still doesn’t mean her conservatorship is right or good.

Her freedom from abuse was not, is not, and should never be treated as a reward for “sanity,” or the socially enforced performance & simulation of it.

You just have to face the fact that even if every negative thing Britney’s parents said about her is true, crazy people exist, mentally ill people exist, disabled people exist, and somebody being sick, or behaving like you wouldn’t, or making choices you think are bad— or even not going to work & being bad with money, being the local bag lady, begging for money, needing perpetual medical aid, whatever “crazy person” or “cripple” horror story you can think up— is not only not your fucking business, but also does not mean you can lock them up & torture them into YOUR sense of “normalcy.”

Until & unless somebody who’s “crazy” or disabled becomes violent or criminally harmful (and tbh even then, I’m not worried about, like, shoplifting, ok? I mean serious crimes), people’s lives & conduct are their own business, including when they have psychosis or when you think they’re self-destructive, and people do not need to hand control of their lives over to anybody, even when they might want or need others’ help, but especially when they don’t.
