Lauren. 25. She/her. Queer.
Lover of most things fictional, especially period dramas and anything queer. Probably complaining about my hair or my eyebrows.
Can usually be found listening to music or getting overwhelmed by fictional characters. Lover of poetry who wishes she wrote better. 🌈

With the holidays coming up this is everyone’s reminder to

  • Ask little kids if they’d like a hug first
  • If they say no, verbally affirm the reasonable shit you just heard. β€œYou said you wouldn’t like a hug. We won’t hug.”
  • You don’t even have to redirect with a high five, even though that’s fine. Touching isn’t for everyone.
  • Do not say upsetting things like β€œwhere is my hug?” Clown, you don’t own hugs.
  • It is fine to model consent by placing boundaries on touch. β€œLet’s wash your hands before we cuddle.” β€œI’m leaving this couch if you continue to yeet your foot into my pregnant belly.” β€œthat was fun but I’m going to take a break now.”
  • Touchy children are not inherently sweeter. Love languages exist at any age.
  • Some kids like touch but not eye contact. A hug from behind is a good one or β€œlet’s close our eyes and squeeze really tight. Ready?”
  • I’m dead f*ing serious there are people who want your physical affection so badly but need you to modify your approach. Just like there are people who want to get into buildings but need ramps.
  • Don’t comment if a kid shows affection to another adult but not you. They’re weird like that but you don’t have to make it weirder.

What the AP photo story neglected to show was that this garden is in memory of Bassem Abu Rahmah, killed by Israeli forces with a tear gas to the chest in 2009 in Bil’in. The garden was planted and is maintained by Bassem’s mother.
