Sure! You always did that when we were younger!

not trying to be mean or condescending here, but here's the thing when people use "apart" when they mean "a part" you gotta understand that that means the exact opposite of what you want it to mean. "apart" means two things that are distant from one another, the opposite of together, taking apart means to disassemble "a part" means one thing that is a portion of another larger thing, something that belongs to a whole if you write "bi people should be apart of the queer community" -> the message you put out is that bi people don't belong to the queer community and should be cast out if you write "bi people should be a part of the queer community" -> the message you put out is that bi people DO belong in the queer community
i know that both forms sound exactly the same, and that they are spelled exactly the same, but that extra space is really important so you arent saying something but meaning the exact opposite and vice-versa. its another stupid quirk of the english language, but im seeing more and more people who dont put a space when they should, and it leads to some confusion, even with context.
for the sake of clearer communication online (which is already hard enough without being able to tell tone a lot of the time), remember: are you tearing something apart (like a peeled orange being separated into sections), or are you a part of a group (like a blade of grass among many in a luscious green meadow)?

I'm not like Mad at anyone who does this and I'm obviously not in charge of how anyone else tags shit on their own blogs, whatever, but it's always bummed me out when my sex Ed posts get reblogged and tagged with 18+, minors dni, etc. personally I actually very much want teenagers to learn about their bodies and safer sex but I guess I'm just the guy who wrote the thing.
by and large I am not an angry man but once I watched a fellow sex educator present to a room full of college students and, upon being gently challenged by one of the students who objected to them describing sex as something that happens between adults, said with very palpable disdain "I don't want to talk about kids fucking." and I was so angry about it that I made myself nauseous.
not just teens, either. every couple years I give up my Sundays for a few months to teach sex ed to 4th-6th graders, unpaid. and I don't do it because it's always fun or easy or great for my health, I do it because those are human people with changing bodies and feelings who deserve to have someone who gives a shit take the time to talk honestly with them so that they might make less painful mistakes later.
ah, this has gotten notes. now we begin a game of Is Someone Going To Call Me A Pedophile For This.
It's appropriate to tell very small children (3-5) who asked where babies come from that sex is something for consenting adults only
When they are approaching teenage years it's appropriate to tell them "hey, I know teens have sex. This is how to be safe and also how to avoid the spread of misinformation"
I will never forget being 13 and having another girl confidentially telling me you couldn't get pregnant if you drank a coke and ate poprocks directly after. Because I was educated about sex ed I was able to correct her
That girl was already sexually active btw
Teens are horny and they need information to be safe
Heck part of the reason I didn't have a lot of ill advised sex as a teenager was because I was educated and I really didn't want to get pregnant or an STD.
I still did stuff but being educated on the risks, even with using condoms and being on birth control, made a massive difference in what I actually did
Add in the list of warning signs of abusive relationships and advice for how to communicate about sex/relationships and place boundaries that I found on BDSM websites and I promise you without that knowledge I would not be in the healthy and happy relationship I am in right now. I would have had a bad time and made a lot of bad decisions and choices
(ETA: Having a lot of sex isn't inherently ill-advised. However I know myself and my hometown and my issues. I personally would not have made good choices without the education I had. Particularly if I hadn't found the BDSM resources which taught me that sex was good and that I should only have sex I would enjoy rather then sex that made me feel bad as a person. As opposed to the teaching at school to value my virginity above all else)
So yeah, it's important to talk to teenagers about sex.
To build off of tags I saw about how important it is for little kids to know proper words so they can report what happens especially if it's a familiar adult who is supposed to be a caretaker
That's actually why I said it's appropriate to tell small children that sex should happen between consenting adults.
With kiddo we explained (even before we explained what sex is) that no one should be touching you under your clothes without consent and even then it should only be a doctor when they are checking you for illness and even then you can say no and they shouldn't touch you in ways that make you feel bad or that they tell you should be a secret
Tell young children the proper names for genitalia and let them know that that is a private place that they have control over and no one else gets to see or touch it without consent and that that includes you
Let them know who they can report to
What to do if their friend tells them a "dangerous secret" and what a dangerous secret is
That if anyone touches them in private areas or tries to get them to touch their private areas what to do and who to tell. Even if it's family or someone close to them
Teach "no means no" and that their body is theirs and that their privacy is theirs from a young age
You cannot protect your child with ignorance
They have to know what it is to protect themselves from, and even if they don't fully understand it they know it shouldn't be happening and then can explain properly to someone else what happened

so you dated the wrong person and learned a hard lesson. you chose the wrong major and had to start over again. you cherished a friend who backstabbed you. it sucks, but it’s also going to work out. that’s life; you learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh, and keep going. you experience setbacks and you grow and it’s all okay.

i wish all my beloved followers and mutuals a very “you find a fic that has the exact premise and characterization you’ve always wanted to see but never had the energy to write yourself and it’s really good and just as long as you want to read”
i wish all the lovely people who see this post a very “you have the motivation to finish your own fic, that the person your fic is absolutely perfect for finds it, and that they leave a long and enthusiastic comment after reading”

Listen if the study of ancient humans doesn’t make you at least a little bit emotional idk what to say.
I started crying today at the museum because they had reconstructed the shoes of Otzi the iceman.
Either he or someone he knew who cared about him made these shoes out of grass and bear skin and twine and he was wearing them when he died over five thousand years ago.
And a Czech researcher and his students did reconstructions of these shoes and wore them to the same place where he died to test them out and they were like yep! These shoes are really cozy and comfy and didn’t give us blisters while hiking!
Is that not just the coolest shit ever????
