*reasonable restrictions are ones you consider fair for your own safety or wellbeing, especially for things like graphic depictions of violence in relation to your age at the time (i.e. "you can read this when you're older")

Mods! Misinterpret her intentional whimsy in bad faith and mistake it for sincere idiocy!

making a new post so I don’t derail from the OP’s point on the other one:

I cannot stress enough that no matter your age, if you are an adult, you can (and probably should) grant medical power of attorney to someone in your life who you trust to make decisions for you when you are incapable of making them for yourself!

imagine you are in an accident, unconscious, disabled (long or short term), or otherwise unable to consent to or make decisions about your treatment etc. If you don’t don’t want the power to make decisions about your treatment, long term care, and more to fall randomly into the hands of a parent, sibling, grandparent, a child, or even a spouse, you need to grant someone specific medical power of attorney.

you should also have an advanced directive/living will, very clearly outlining what decisions you would want to be made on your behalf in difficult situations (like whether to take you off of life support, whether to bury or cremate you, etc.) this will not only help back up the POA if a family member challenges it, it will also help the person you granted POA make difficult choices without wondering whether they’re honoring what you would want. 

finally, you should have a will that outlines your inheritance, which will usually supersede next of kin.

Family members and spouses can challenge a POA, but that’s just like any other legal matter.

In my case, I love my default next of kin dearly and would trust anyone of them to do their very best to honor my wishes. But why make them wonder about those wishes or go through the stress of disagreeing with each other if they have differing ideas on how to best advocate for me?

My best friend, unrelated to me by blood, has my POA and a legal folder with my advanced directive/living will. she is my emergency contact at my job and any medical offices I use.

I know plenty of people reading this may feel very young and like this will won’t be an issue for you for a long time, but the unthinkable can happen at any time. Please put control in the hands of someone you trust!

ESPECIALLY if you are queer or otherwise vulnerable to the desires of family members who will not be interested in advocating for what you want.

I was lucky in that a pride festival I attended several years ago had a legal booth where someone walked me through creating all of this, free of charge. I know access to legal counsel and information is a privilege! Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t sort this all out. But you should look into it, and do it if you can!

Tardigrade/Water Bear Species: Acutuncus antarcticus

There are approximately 1,300 known species under the phylum Tardigrada. They are found almost anywhere, including mountaintops, tropical rainforests, the deep sea, and the Antarctic. They are extremophiles, capable of surviving a few minutes at both 151°C (304°F) and −272°C (−458°F; 1 K) and a few days at −200°C (−328°F; 73 K).

This particular Antarctic species has been found to be able to survive for 30 years at −20°C (−4°F). (Tsujimoto et al. 2016 Cryobiology)

do genuinely find it fascinating how indeed.com is like the biggest job-hunting website out there and yet manages to be profoundly useless in every possible way
