Do not think for a moment that this admin is only going after trans folks. They are ultimately going after the whole LGBTQ community. They start small, like getting rid of a hotline option, then go BIG.

'dating rules' are so fucking stupid btw. "don't talk too much about your hyperfixation on a first date, it'll scare them off!!" it'll only scare them off if they're a coward. Someone worthy of my affections will listen to me talk about my goal of visiting every whale exhibit with a life-sized effigy of a whale in it in the world for a solid half-hour and come away from that experience desiring me carnally.

You know what. I'm kinda sad the internet is starting to get useless. I grew up in a world without it. If it had came like 5 years earlier in my life it could have saved me a lot of trouble and speed the progress of recovery of a troubled youth. It would have given me tons of info to start with. But I remember I made it out just fine anyway. And the hard work you always have to do yourself. A therapist never gives you a quick fix. You have to come to your own conclusions or it doesn't work.

Finding people to talk to who were of my sexuality meant sending in ads in magazines and meeting up to have a coffee in a busy place. It was SO scary and at times dangerous. And I think it would have been easier with the internets dating apps... But it's also cute in a way. It was real. Going out takes more effort than swiping. I made some good friends that still hold to this day. And I remember myself. It's hard to find friendship that runs SO DEEP online.

I wanted to study art. There was no study for me with some sort of scolarship. Nothing at all. If youtube had been there and online lessons, I could have started right away! Instead I had to work a hell job and another and another 40 hours a week. To scrape just enough money on my bank account to pay evening lessons at a private school. 7 years! Seven years of poverty I endured for what could have been 1 year on Youtube, maybe? I will never know for sure. But I did work with some of the most succeeding artists in my field. And I remember myself: Because I had no options I trained under the hardest teachers and exactly those proved to learned me so, so much. I'm so glad I got to train under artists who in their training still got beaten with sticks when their proportions were off. 😅 I was not beat with sticks but mannn it was hard.

I'm sad I didn't know cosplay existed. I only once saw a picture of a girl dressed as a character I liked in some game magazine. And I thought to myself: ohh how cool must it be to dress up like that. And so I made some clothes for myself. With a needle and some cut up clothes from my wardrobe i just started making things. It looked bad, broke fast and didn't sit right but I made it myself. If I had internet I could have seen tutorials. But then I remember, because I did not I do things MY way. And it works to have your own style. I feel confident in my skills. I try things out and try something else when it doesnt work out. I'm not afraid to fail like a lot of starting cosplayers. I don't feel like a failure when a project is a disaster it's all fun to me.

With internet I would have known about conventions in other parts of the country, maybe. I could have made friends of my age who did things that I liked. I would not have felt so alone. But then I remember. Because I didn't I learned to make friends with people from all ages, and all likes/dislikes, and all colors, and all come-offs,... and I don't think I would have become so including if there had been the internet. Simply because humans flock together naturally.

This morning I was sad because I remember ten years ago it would have been easy to look up something on the internet and given information that i could rely on. It made me sad because I wanted to show something to my child. I wanted to tell her the internet can help. But I'm just a old person that says... "Oh mommy remembers there was a icecream shop here a long time ago" and what use does that do? "The internet used to be super handy. Now it's just fun... or is it really? Actually it can be dangerous, and..." hmn "You know what. How about we go to a library and get a book about swans instead, because the internet used to know, and know it doesn't. but thats ok. The internet got ill. People forget too sometimes. We'll get a book about swans. A book is easier to check it's sources. Mom will show you how. And we'll go to a museum. There we can see more and touch things and try things. That's better than asking the internet. And you know what's great?! Maybe you'll make new friends and talk to people you are not sure if you agree with and that'll start you thinking for yourself better. Anddd we can get icecream. The internet can never get you icecream. Ok let's go"

Can't express how stress free being open minded is.

Some lesbians use he/him? Oh cool.

Some people have people inside their head and sometimes it's fictional chars? Sick your brains like a pirate ship they're all working to run.

Some people like being treated like a pet dog? Bark bark bro.

Being fat isn't unhealthy but a perfectly normal type of body to have? Kinda beautiful how different we can all be.

Something doesn't make any fucking sense? Cool an opportunity to learn. And even if I can't figure it out it's cool we still have mysteries today.

I'm howling, I know shit about the newest Snow White Disney regurgitation but I just clicked on it on iMDb and-

1.8 stars????? I didn't think that was possible. I clicked on it and-

IT'S EVEN FUCKING LOWER THAN THAT IF YOU DON'T COUNT THE OBVIOUSLY PAID-FOR 10S. Like even the other two recent disasters are higher than that!

This is where it occured to me to check something and-

IT'S RATED SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN A MOVIE MADE PURPOSEFULLY TO BE AS GROSS AND HORRIBLE AS POSSIBLE. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU EVEN MANAGE THAT??????

IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN THE SEQUEL OF A SEQUEL OF A HORROR MOVIE MADE EXCLUSIVELY BECAUSE TOM CARDY MADE A SONG ABOUT IT.

I think I'm going to pirate this and watch it out of sheer morbid curiosity.

Realized the other day we got kinda Neville Longbottomed by Ferb. Couldn't let this thought go without including the entire, wholesome Flynn-Fletcher sibling unit!

I think a lot about how in Ice Age 1 a huge theme is the slow but unstoppable advancement of the human species as they start to threaten previously unchallenged megafauna (hunting the pack of the antagonist sabertooth and killing Manny the mammoth’s family) and then in all the sequels they just fuckin disappear

There was a phrase that I used in my classroom when my students would ask me about doing questionable things, and my response was always, "Technically you can, but should you?"

The reason I used this instead of a simple yes or no answer is because it opened up conversation. Instead of blindly looking for permission, the conversation became more about cause and effect. Usually it navigated the "well you can't tell me what to do I'm going to do it anyway" instinct in kids when I'd say no, because all they were looking for is something to challenge them.

For example: "Can I jump off the slide?"

"Technically you can, but should you?"

If they answer no, I'd ask why. Usually they'd say because it's against the rules or I don't know.

If they say it's against the rules, I'd ask them why they think it's a rule. And if they'd say I don't know, I'd explain that the slide is five feet off of the ground, and jumping that high is a good way to hurt your knees or worse.

And then the most important part: if you did do it, how can you make it safer?

That's when the creativity juices started to flow. I'd get anything from pillows to beds to bouncy shoes to wings to someone catching them (which became a whole different conversation). And I told them since we didn't have those things here, it wasn't safe. And safety is everyone's number one job at school.

It stopped them from doing it behind my back. It got them to engage in critical thinking. And it helped them figure out how to do things without help.

However, there's always been an itching thought in the back of my head. Somewhere out there, did one of my past students drag their mattress out to the slide and jump off of it?
